Does the belief of farmers on land as God influence the adoption of smart farming technologies? M. Vasan, G. Yoganandan Benchmarking, 2024 PurposeArtificial Intelligence-based smart farming technologies have brought impressive changes in farming. This paper aims at exploring the farmers’ intention to adopt smart farming technologies (SFT). Also, the authors intend to know how far the belief of farmers on land as God influences their decision to adopt SFT.Design/methodology/approachThe data were gathered from 500 farmers chosen purposively. A well-crafted survey instrument was employed to amass data from farmers for measuring their adoption of SFT. As the authors sought to measure the farmers’ behavioural intention (BI) towards the adoption of SFT, the technology acceptance model developed by Davis (1989) came in handy, including perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEU) and BI. The authors have adopted this model as it was considered a superior model. The items on the attitude of confidence (AC) were adapted from Adrian et al. (2005). Survey instruments of Thompson and Higgins (1991) and Compeau and Higgins (1995) were also referred to finalize the statements relating to attitude towards use. Moreover, the authors developed items relating to the perceived belief of land as God based on frequent interaction with the farmers.FindingsThe study results divulged that attitude to use (AU) is directly influenced by the rural farmers’ PU, PEU and AC. Similarly, this investigation has observed behaviour intention directly influenced by the AU of farmers. It is observed that AU was the most influential variable, which ultimately influenced the BI to use SFT.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has an important limitation in the form of representing only the culture, belief and value system of farmers in India.Practical implicationsThe outcome of this study will facilitate the policymakers to draw suitable policy measures keeping the sensitivities of the farmers in mind in their technology adoption drive. The agricultural officers can encourage farmers to take logical decisions by supplying adequate information in a time-bound manner. Marketers can make suitable adjustments in their sales and promotion activities that focus on farmers.Social implicationsThe belief of farmers on land as God has a small yet unmissable influence on farmers’ AU and BI in their technology adoption decision. Based on the above evidence, the authors recommend that marketers fine-tune their product design, product packaging and promotional activities keeping the belief and sensitivities of farmers at the core of their marketing campaign.Originality/valueThis article provides original insights by demonstrating the positive influence of PU, PEU and AC on technology adoption by farmers. This research is the first of a kind linking the belief of farmers on land as God with smart farming technology adoption in farming.

Evaluating agripreneurs’ satisfaction: exploring the effect of demographics and emporographics G. Yoganandan, Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahman, M. Vasan, Abdelrhman Meero Journal of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, 2022 This paper attempts to gauge the satisfaction of agripreneurs and seeks to explore the effect of demographics and emporographics on the agripreneurs’ satisfaction. This study proposes a seven-dimension survey instrument, called AprenSAT, for measuring agripreneurs’ satisfaction. Responses from 784 agripreneurs are analyzed by applying exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and multiple linear regression. The extraction of seven factors confirms that agripreneurs’ satisfaction is influenced by material availability, government support, farm growth, farm income, market performance, cultivation & production and perceived farm image. The linear regression result delineates that demographic factors such as age, education level and farming experience significantly influence the agripreneurs’ satisfaction. Similarly, variables of emporographics such as farm age, farm size, annual income, land ownership, sources of funds, and intercropping have a substantial influence on agripreneurs’ satisfaction. We recommend information dissemination, hands-on training, the creation of adequate infrastructure and technology adoption to enhance agripreneurs’ satisfaction and rural development.
Adoption of Disruptive Technologies by the Farmers: Evidence from India G. Yoganandan, M. Vasan, M. Dinesh Kumar, Doris Padmini Selvaratnam 8th International Conference on Advanced Computing and Communication Systems Icaccs 2022, 2022 This paper investigates the perception and attitude of farmers towards adopting disruptive technologies. The data were collected from 220 jasmine farmers using a survey instrument (questionnaire). The study results showed that the farmers have a positive intention to use disruptive technologies. It is also observed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and attitude of confidence influenced the attitude to use disruptive technologies. The study also indicated that the farmers' attitude to use is emerging as a critical factor in determining jasmine farmers' behavioural intention. The study recommended that the government and other relevant bodies like universities focus on providing hands-on training to jasmine farmers to positively change the farmers' attitude to use disruptive technologies. Findings from this study may be helpful to policymakers to enhance the sustainability of the flower farming system.
