Determinants of adoption of climate-smart agricultural technologies and practices in the coffee-based farming system of Ethiopia

Abstract Objectives This study explored the adoption status of different Climate Smart Agricultural (CSA) practices and factors that influence their for sustainable soil resource utilization in changing climate. Methodology We used quantitative qualitative primary data collected from smallholder farmers other stakeholders major coffee-growing regions Ethiopia: Oromia, Southern Nations, Nationalities, Peoples (SNNP). multivariate probit (MVP) model to climate-smart agricultural technologies, namely, manure application, minimum tillage, intercropping, use improved forage, physical water management practices. Results The result shows 35% apply on farm plots. Minimum tillage is also applied 36% farms. Intercropping forages structures are adopted by 45, 19, 47% farmers, respectively. finding indicates positive significant effect education, extension (access services participation field days), ownership communication devices specifically radio Recommendations Concerning bodies must pay due attention problems affecting effective farmers-extension linkage. technology suggests need increased accessibility FM channels be aware climate change innovative practices, information mitigate problem.
