The Role of Opinion Leaders in the Diffusion of New Knowledge
Author: Gershon Feder
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Agricultural pests
Languages : en
Pages : 35
Book Description
The paper reviews the literature on the characteristics and impact of opinion leaders on the diffusion of new knowledge, concluding that there is no clear evidence on whether opinion leaders are more effective if they are similar in socioeconomic attributes to the other farmers rather than superior to would be followers. A multivariate analysis of the changes in integrated pest management knowledge in Indonesia among follower farmers over the period 1991-98 indicates that opinion leaders who are superior to followers, but not excessively so, are more effective in transmitting knowledge. Excessive socioeconomic distance is shown to reduce the effectiveness of diffusion. The paper then derives operational implications of the empirical results.

Author: Pieter Stemerding
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9789251047774
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
The integrated pest management (IPM) programmes run by the FAO seek to train farmers on how to take independent, well-informed crop production and management decisions, achieved primarily through participatory, season-long field schools. This study examines the social impact of IPM field schools in Mali during the 1999-2000 seasons, as well as considering their influence on improving technical knowledge, changing farming attitudes and behaviour and in simulating increased collective self-help action.
