Research Abstract
Regarding the farming methods that contribute to environmental conservation and biodiversity (“conservation-oriented farming methods”), we revealed four viewpoints to diffuse these methods effectively: (1) Utilize symbolic living creatures when working with farmers, (2) Reduce the technical difficulty of farmers, (3) Provide farmers with technical and institutional information continuously, (4) Realize economic benefits for farmers. In these ways, we revealed the practical and systematic diffusion methods for the extension bodies such as extension centers, agricultural cooperatives, and local governments to diffuse “conservation-oriented farming methods” effectively.
