This paper addresses the question which factors influence a farmer in deciding to
adopt an innovation.
We differentiate between innovations that are new to the farmer, but already well
established in the sector, innovations that are early in their process of diffusion,
and innovations
that are new to the farmer’s sector. We use an ordered probit approach to relate
adoption
behaviour to variables that capture characteristics of the farm (labour and financial
resources
and market position), of the business environment of the farm (type of production
and market,
degree of regulation) and of the farmer (access to information, capabilities, preferences).
We
use data on 865 Dutch farms and find that innovation adoption is positively related
to labour
resources, market position, access to information and past adoption behaviour, and
negatively
to solvency and the degree of market regulation.
