Although routinely adopted elsewhere, prior to project start these technologies were virtually unknown to the shifting cultivators occupying the area; DTDP farmers have adopted and adapted technologies and learned new skills through an
iterative ‘learning-by-doing’ innovation process mediated by DTDP. Adoption levels for all sample groups combined are
shown in Figure 2 (Technology adoption in DTDP, all sample groups). The most widely adopted category was soil
conservation (58.3% of survey respondents), followed by chemical fertilizers (47.9%) and local production and use of
organic fertilizers (38.9%). These priorities indicate awareness of the need to sustain long-term soil fertility and protect
against the high risk of landslides. Moreover, three of the four most frequently adopted innovations (soil conservation,
organic fertilizers, water management) entail collective decision-making as well as individual endeavour, suggesting a
strong degree of cooperation and social cohesion in DTDP communities. The significant uptake of long-term land
management measures, along with the collective action required to implement them, suggest a shared, long-term
commitment or sense of ownership among beneficiaries.
