Challenges and strategies of resource poor farmers in adoption of innovative farming technologies: A comprehensive review
Context
India's agricultural sector, with 121 million small and marginal holdings, faces challenges from a growing population, limited land, and restricted resources. Innovative farming technologies like precision agriculture, climate-smart practices, smart irrigation, and digital platforms offer solutions for enhancing productivity, sustainability, and economic viability. However, resource-poor farmers struggle to adopt these technologies due to low awareness, budget limitations, and infrastructure gaps.
Objective
This review examines the potential of innovative technologies for resource-poor farmers in India. It aims to identify accessible, effective solutions and explore strategies such as public-private partnerships, cooperative farming, and custom hiring centers to overcome adoption barriers.
Methods
A systematic literature review was conducted to gather findings on technologies relevant to smallholders. Studies were selected based on insights into accessibility, barriers, and support systems. The review categorized technologies by suitability for resource-poor settings and analyzed enabling factors like funding, education, and institutional support.
Results and conclusions
Technologies that enhance resource efficiency, like precision agriculture, can benefit smallholders. Yet, adoption remains limited due to financial, informational, and infrastructure barriers. Strategies involving partnerships, cooperatives, and custom hiring show promise in reducing these obstacles. A multi-faceted approach with policy, financial, and educational support is essential for adoption.
Significance
This review highlights actionable pathways for technology adoption among India's smallholder farmers, emphasizing the need for supportive frameworks and local research. The findings are relevant to policymakers and development practitioners focused on enhancing food security and resilience in smallholder farming.
期刊介绍:
Agricultural Systems is an international journal that deals with interactions - among the components of agricultural systems, among hierarchical levels of agricultural systems, between agricultural and other land use systems, and between agricultural systems and their natural, social and economic environments.
The scope includes the development and application of systems analysis methodologies in the following areas:
Systems approaches in the sustainable intensification of agriculture; pathways for sustainable intensification; crop-livestock integration; farm-level resource allocation; quantification of benefits and trade-offs at farm to landscape levels; integrative, participatory and dynamic modelling approaches for qualitative and quantitative assessments of agricultural systems and decision making;
The interactions between agricultural and non-agricultural landscapes; the multiple services of agricultural systems; food security and the environment;
Global change and adaptation science; transformational adaptations as driven by changes in climate, policy, values and attitudes influencing the design of farming systems;
Development and application of farming systems design tools and methods for impact, scenario and case study analysis; managing the complexities of dynamic agricultural systems; innovation systems and multi stakeholder arrangements that support or promote change and (or) inform policy decisions.
