  37. <meta content="Research on the adoption of rural innovations is reviewed and interpreted through a cross-disciplinary
  38. lens to provide practical guidance for research, extension and policy relating to conservation practices. Adoption of
  39. innovations by landholders is presented as a dynamic learning process. Adoption depends on a range of personal,
  40. social, cultural and economic factors, as well as on characteristics of the innovation itself. Adoption occurs when
  41. the landholder perceives that the innovation in question will enhance the achievement of their personal goals.
  42. A range of goals is identifiable among landholders, including economic, social and environmental goals.
  43. Innovations are more likely to be adopted when they have a high ‘relative advantage’ (perceived superiority to the
  44. idea or practice that it supersedes), and when they are readily trialable (easy to test and learn about before adoption).
  45. Non-adoption or low adoption of a number of conservation practices is readily explicable in terms of their failure
  46. to provide a relative advantage (particularly in economic terms) or a range of difficulties that landholders may have
  47. in trialing them." name="eprints.abstract" />

  459. <meta content="Research on the adoption of rural innovations is reviewed and interpreted through a cross-disciplinary
  460. lens to provide practical guidance for research, extension and policy relating to conservation practices. Adoption of
  461. innovations by landholders is presented as a dynamic learning process. Adoption depends on a range of personal,
  462. social, cultural and economic factors, as well as on characteristics of the innovation itself. Adoption occurs when
  463. the landholder perceives that the innovation in question will enhance the achievement of their personal goals.
  464. A range of goals is identifiable among landholders, including economic, social and environmental goals.
  465. Innovations are more likely to be adopted when they have a high ‘relative advantage’ (perceived superiority to the
  466. idea or practice that it supersedes), and when they are readily trialable (easy to test and learn about before adoption).
  467. Non-adoption or low adoption of a number of conservation practices is readily explicable in terms of their failure
  468. to provide a relative advantage (particularly in economic terms) or a range of difficulties that landholders may have
  469. in trialing them." name="DC.description" />

  585. lens to provide practical guidance for research, extension and policy relating to conservation practices. Adoption of&#13;
  586. innovations by landholders is presented as a dynamic learning process. Adoption depends on a range of personal,&#13;
  587. social, cultural and economic factors, as well as on characteristics of the innovation itself. Adoption occurs when&#13;
  588. the landholder perceives that the innovation in question will enhance the achievement of their personal goals.&#13;
  589. A range of goals is identifiable among landholders, including economic, social and environmental goals.&#13;
  590. Innovations are more likely to be adopted when they have a high ‘relative advantage’ (perceived superiority to the&#13;
  591. idea or practice that it supersedes), and when they are readily trialable (easy to test and learn about before adoption).&#13;
  592. Non-adoption or low adoption of a number of conservation practices is readily explicable in terms of their failure&#13;
  593. to provide a relative advantage (particularly in economic terms) or a range of difficulties that landholders may have&#13;
  594. in trialing them.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">agriculture, economics, extension, innovation, learning, natural resource management,&#13;
