Although the adoption of agricultural innovations has been studied frequently, the importance of labor organization has been overlooked so far. Based on a theoretical model developed by the applicants, the aim of the research project is to test the developed hypotheses on labor organization and innovation. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) will be used as a case study, as it is a labor and skill intensitive technology and adoption is likely to be affected by the organization and opportunity costs of labor. In order to test the hypotheses empirically, we will examine the adoption of IPM by farmers who participate in farmer field schools (FFS) in Southeast Asia.

虽然农业创新的采用已经被频繁地研究，但迄今为止，劳动组织的重要性一直被忽视。基于申请人开发的理论模型，研究项目的目的是测试劳动组织和创新的假设。综合虫害管理（IPM）将被用作案例研究，因为它是一种劳动和技能密集型技术，采用可能会受到组织和劳动力机会成本的影响。为了检验实证的假设，我们将研究通过IPM的农民参加农民田间学校（FFS）在东南亚。
