Abstract

The willingness to adopt solar energy resource (SER) for farming operations is currently a topic of growing recognition in the context of sustainable agriculture and inclusive rural development. This study analyzed the determinants of farm households’ willingness to adopt SER in rural Oyo state, Nigeria. Primary data were collected with structured questionnaire from 45 respondents due to the low population size of SER users in the study area. The data were described with frequency percentage, composite score and analyzed with ordered logit regression. The findings identified that the willingness to adopt SER was categorized into rarely willing, willing and strongly willing by composite score and it was found that most (68.89%) of the respondents are willing to adopt SER. The challenges militating against farm households’ willingness to adopt SER include high cost of solar energy devices, weather effect on SER, risk of theft and vandalism, small size of farm holdings among others. Also, ordered logit model revealed that marital status 1.493 (P
