Abstract

Cet article précise les difficultés liées à la compréhension des freins à l’amélioration de la productivité agricole dans les pays en développement. A partir d’une approche micro-économique, ce travail met en lumière la complexité de la prise de décision des agriculteurs concernant, d’une part, l’adoption de nouvelles technologies et pratiques et, d’autre part, l’adaptation au changement climatique. Les principaux arguments sont illustrés par l’exemple de l’évaluation d’un programme pilote au Nicaragua caractérisé par une expérimentation aléatoire. L’article conclut en listant des questions ouvertes pour de futures recherches.
