摘要
Sustainable land management practices (SLMPs) are important for ensuring environmental protection, food security, poverty alleviation, and economic growth in a nation. The study employed a triple hurdle regression model to analyze the drivers influencing farmers' awareness and adoption and level of adoption of SLMPs. The results show that farm input source, availability of farm inputs, extension frequency, water sources and marital status, are vital for increasing awareness. It is thus, recommended that actions and policies at public and private levels should be aimed at promoting and improving SLMPs.
