- The study examines the factors influencing the adoption of modern dairy farming technologies (MDFT) among smallholder farmers in Meru County, Kenya, finding that these technologies are underutilized despite their potential benefits.
- It highlights key determinants such as household income, education level, frequency of extension contacts, access to credit, and farming experience that positively impact the adoption of these technologies.
- The research also suggests the need for county government and private sectors to improve extension services and create affordable credit options to encourage more widespread use of MDFTs.
