Role of social network in CSA adoption

This dataset was collected as part of a case study aimed at examining the role of social networks in the adoption of climate-smart agricultural (CSA) technologies in Cambodia. The data focus on farmers’ demographic and socioeconomic profiles, their interpersonal connections within the community, and their adoption of specific CSA practices. The dataset contributes to understanding how social relationships influence technology diffusion and adoption among rural farmers. Interpretation: These variables represent different types of agricultural information exchanged among farmers. • Info-1: Climate smart agriculture information. • Info-2: Other agronomic information. • Info-3: Farm service information. • Info-4: Market information. • Info-5: Financial information. • Info-6: Policy information. • Info-7: Agrometeorology information. Methodology: Data were collected through structured household surveys and social network questionnaires administered to farmers in two selected villages in Battambang and Kampong Thom provinces. The survey covered demographic characteristics, CSA uptakes, and social interactions related to seven types of information: climate smart agriculture, other agronomic, farming service, market, financial, policy, and agrometeorological information. Trained enumerators conducted face-to-face interviews using a digital questionnaire on the ODK platform.
