| dc.description.abstract | The objective of the research is to examine dairy production technology adoption impact on rural household food security and identify factors affecting adoption in Ethiopia evidence from Basona Worena woreda, Amhara regional state. A multistage sampling procedure was employed to draw 283 sample households from one woreda and two kebeles. The kebeles were selected in random sampling procedure and within the kebeles sample household were grouped in two strata (adopters and non-adopters). To analyze the data both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to characterize and analyze dairy technology adoption and food security of the households. Food consumption score and household dietary diversity scores were employed to examine the food security status of the sample households. The statistical models namely, binary logistic regression, Tobit and propensity score matching were used to determine factors affecting the decision of farm households who participate (adopt) dairy technologies, extents of dairy technology adoption and impact of technology adoption on household food security respectively. The descriptive result indicated that dairy technology adopters were food secured as compared to non-adopter households in terms of food consumption score. The dietary diversity results also indicate that there is a significant mean difference between two group in main food group. The binary logit result revealed that, frequency of extension service, membership of milk collection center and input access positively affect the adoption decision. While age of the household head negatively affects the decision to adopt. The result from propensity score matching indicated that dairy technology adoption has positive impact on household food security. The impact of dairy technology adoption on household food security in terms of food consumption score has an effect on the household frequency of food consumption per week. Similarly, the dietary diversity of the household has an effect on the intake of diversified food in 24-hour recall on the household food security. using kernel, nearest neighbor and radius respectively. Finally, the average treatment effect on treated (ATT) reveled that, the dairy technology adoption has increased the household food consumption score and dietary diversity by 23.19% and 13.7% respectively. The study concludes that dairy technology adoption has remarkable effect on the household food security status. Based on the finding of this study it is recommended that, improving farmers awareness and perception trough training, strengthen developmental agents capacity, introducing and disseminating and different improved variety dairy technologies with reasonable cost, continuous follow-up, improvement in input supply, and interventions that deal constraints related to dairy technology adoption. | en_US |
