Current Publication & Research Direction
My current research examines how farmers evaluate and adopt agricultural innovations under informational, economic, behavioural, institutional, and environmental constraints.
Building on my doctoral research, I am particularly interested in agricultural extension and advisory systems, innovation diffusion, technology acceptance, farmer decision-making, digital agriculture, climate-smart farming, dairy and livestock systems, Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS), and rural development.
My emerging research agenda seeks to move beyond simple measures of adoption intention by examining the transition from willingness to actual adoption, including the roles of information access, affordability, advisory support, institutional services, farmer learning, and context-specific enabling conditions.
