Sociocultural considerations when introducing a new integrated agriculture-aquaculture technology
It is important to know how farmers understand the world before trying to introduce new technological options. Discover whether or not the new system can fit in well with the farmer's concerns, beliefs and values. Remember farmers are «scientists», too. They have been developing, testing and adopting their own technologies for centuries in ways that are tailored to their cultural setting. If you first make effort to learn from them about the fit between cultural outlook and technology, then you will have a much better idea of which new technologies they are likely to take an interest in.
