论文摘要
这项研究的目的是确定通常采用的SAP及其在肯塔基农民中的采用。具体的目标是探索农民对农业和农业实践可持续性的看法，以确定使用农场属性，农民的态度和行为，社会经济和人口统计学因素以及知识以及评估肯塔基州农民中SAPS的采用障碍的预测者。农民通常认为自己的农场和农业活动实现了可持续农业的目标。知识不足，实施难度，缺乏市场，对技术的负面态度以及缺乏技术是肯塔基州SAP的主要采用障碍。
The purpose of this research was to identify commonly adopted SAPs and their adoption among Kentucky farmers. The specific objectives were to explore farmers' Perceptions about farm and farming practice sustainability, to identify predictors of SAPs adoption using farm attributes, farmers' attitudes and behaviors, socioeconomic and demographic factors, and knowledge, and to evaluate adoption barriers of SAPs among Kentucky Farmers. Farmers generally perceive that their farm and farming activities attain the objectives of sustainable agriculture. Inadequate knowledge, perceived difficulty of implementation, lack of market, negative attitude about technologies, and lack of technologies were major adoption barriers of SAPs in Kentucky.
