A new study by Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) points to reasons for this low adoption, showing that Brazil\u2019s soil diversity has been a significant barrier to the spread of the system among farmers. The study suggests that targeting training in areas of low adoption and high soil similarity can increase adoption of this technique cost-effectively.<\/p>\n<p>Through empirical analysis, the study, summarized in the Executive Summary \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/climatepolicyinitiative.org\/publication\/high-productivity-agricultural-techniques-in-brazil-adoption-barriers-and-potential-solutions\">High Productivity Agricultural Techniques in Brazil: Adoption Barriers and Potential Solutions<\/a>,\u201d shows that social learning \u2014 i.e. farmers learning new methods from their neighbors and peers \u2014 plays a major role in the spread of the Direct Planting System. Further, in any given municipality in Brazil, similarities or dissimilarities in soil composition directly affect social learning, and thus, uptake of the technology: The more similar the soil within a municipality, the easier the spread of social learning.<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, the Brazilian Government implemented the Agricultura de Baixo Carbono program (ABC &#8211; Low-Carbon Agriculture) to provide subsidized rural credit to farmers for implementation of the Direct Planting System. However, low-cost credit cannot drive Direct Planting System expansion if non-financial barriers to adoption such as learning are significant, as this new analysis suggests.<\/p>\n<p>CPI recommends a temporary training program, moving across municipalities over time, to support the initial spread of knowledge and adoption. Further, the study identifies municipalities that would most benefit from training. These municipalities have high soil similarity and low adoption levels and thus, training could raise them to levels where social learning can take place more easily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Direct Planting System is considered one of the most important developments in agriculture in the past decades, and its use benefits both farmers and the public. Our analysis shows that there are low-cost ways to expand adoption of this system,\u201d said Juliano Assun\u00e7\u00e3o, director of CPI\u2019s Brazil operations and professor at the Department of Economics at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio).<\/p>\n<p>For more information, and to download the report, visit www.ClimatePolicyInitiative.org.
