However, these results are solely indicative of activities that
may be considered for more detailed analysis, focusing particularly on the public and private costs to overcoming barriers to the
adoption of such practices: e.g. opportunity costs of land and labor including up-front cash outlays; limited information available about alternative techniques as well as limited local experience with such practices; problems related to access to inputs
and to property rights of the resources. Agriculture investments
are largely privately financed but the public sector could help
overcome such adoption barriers, covering investment and
transaction costs (e.g. supporting research, development and capacity building).
