“…Similarly, male headed households are also more likely to adopt SWC than female headed household. The possible explanation is that male headed households have better access to information and the labor required to implement new technology than do female headed household (Mekuriaw et al 2018;Bekele and Drake 2006).…”

“…During the 1980s, the country started SWC campaigns, encouraging the implementation of SWC practices in drought prone and extremely land degraded parts of Ethiopia (Mekuriaw and Hurni 2015). However, as farmers were forced to implement a conservation structure designed by experts, the program was not effective (Haregeweyn et al 2015;Mekuriaw et al 2018;Mekuriaw and Hurni 2015;Wolka 2014).

“…According to Moeletsi et al [31], eastern, northern and south-eastern parts have a shorter growing period of less than 240 days as a result of early onset (mid-March) and late cessation (mid-October) of frost in these regions. Therefore, early and ultra-early cultivars are recommended in the eastern, northern and south-eastern parts of this province to reduce vulnerability to the frosts [21]. The climate in the Maluti-a-Phofung municipality is characterized by hot, humid summers and cold winters [29].…”

“…Previous studies across the African continent indicated that socio-economic factors, farm characteristics and agro-climatic zone characteristics were the main factors influencing adoption of SAPs by smallholder farmers [18][19][20][21]. Therefore, factors influencing adoption of SAPs varies with countries and regions as a result of differences in cultural and political ideologies, natural resources community access to education, adequate information on the technical details of the SAPs, extension services, credits and infrastructure [13,22,23].…”
