|---|---|---|
This research project employed an interdisciplinary attempt to study agricultural climate information use, linking sociology of translation actor-network theory and actor analysis premises in a qualitative research design. The research method used case study approaches and purposively selected a sample consisting of wheat growers of the Fars province of Iran, who are known as contact farmers. Concepts from actor-network theory ANT have been found to provide a useful perspective on the description and analysis of the cases. The data were analyzed using a combination of an actor-network theory ANT framework and the dynamic actor-network analysis DANA model. The findings revealed socio political farmers' awareness, motivation, and trust, and information processing factors accuracy of information, access to information, and correspondence of information to farmers' condition as the key elements in facilitating climate information use in farming practices. |
