Modelling contingent technology adoption in farming irrigation communities

Of all the uses ofwater, agriculture is the one that requires the greatest proportion of resourcesworldwide. Consequently, it is a salient subject for environmental policy-making, and adoption of modern irrigation systems is a key means to improve water use efficiency. In this paper we present an ag...
