The Diffusion of New Agricultural Technology Suitable for Elderly Farmers: A Case of Elevated Hydroponics for Strawberry Cultivation

한국기술혁신학회 추계학술대회(2013.10.31.) 발표논문을 수정·보완한 것임.This study investigates the effect of farmers age on the diffusion of new agricultural technology with special reference to technology that suits the needs of elderly farmers in South Korea. The elevated hydroponic system for strawberry cultivation was selected as a model case of such technology because it is labor-saving and intensity-relieving compared to typical soil-cultivation. In the analysis for the determinants of farmers technology adoption, a binomial logit model was applied to the survey data of 266 strawberry farmers. Empirical results confirm that, when we control for the individual farmers education level and technology acceptance level, the age of the farmers does not lower the adoption rate of the elevated hydroponic system. This implies that strategic development and diffusion of the elderly-friendly technology can be used as a measure to enhance the productivity of elderly farmers in rapidly aging South Korea.본 논문은 농촌진흥청 공동연구사업(과제번호: PJ009139012013)의 지원을 받았음OAIID:oai:osos.snu.ac.kr:snu2013-01/102/0000039158/5SEQ:5PERF_CD:SNU2013-01EVAL_ITEM_CD:102USER_ID:0000039158ADJUST_YN:YEMP_ID:A076735DEPT_CD:520FILENAME:고령화_농업신기술(농업경제연구_2013).hwpDEPT_NM:농경제사회학부EMAIL:[email protected]_YN:NCONFIRM:
