| Title: | The Adoption and Management of Soil Conservation Practices in Haiti: The Case of Rock Walls |
| Authors: | Bayard, Budry

| Abstract: | Farmers are usually reluctant to adopt measures to reduce the toll of soil erosion; and
even when soil conservation structures are adopted, farmers fail to manage them. This
study investigates factors that influence adoption and management of soil conservation
structures in Fort-Jacques, Haiti. The results show that personal characteristics of
farmers, institutional factors, such as local group membership, training in soil conservation,
per capita income and size of farm influence soil conservation adoption in
Forte-Jacques. Age, education, per capita household income, participation in local
groups, the interaction of per capita household income and farmers’ age influence rock
wall management. |
