  The purpose of this research was to identify commonly adopted SAPs and their
adoption among Kentucky farmers. The specific objectives were to explore
farmers' Perceptions about farm and farming practice sustainability, to
identify predictors of SAPs adoption using farm attributes, farmers' attitudes
and behaviors, socioeconomic and demographic factors, and knowledge, and to
evaluate adoption barriers of SAPs among Kentucky Farmers. Farmers generally
perceive that their farm and farming activities attain the objectives of
sustainable agriculture. Inadequate knowledge, perceived difficulty of
implementation, lack of market, negative attitude about technologies, and lack
of technologies were major adoption barriers of SAPs in Kentucky.
