Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate determinants of households’ adoption of sustainable land management (SLM) practices in uplands of Nam Dong district, Thua Thien Hue province, Vietnam. The primary data was collected from 150 randomly selected farming households using a semi-structured questionnaire. The binary logistic model was employed to analyze factors that affected farmers’ decision of applying (SLM) practices in the research site. The results showed that education level of the household head, knowledge levels of farmers about SLM practices, participating in extension training courses related to SLM, the easy of application and economic benefits of SLM practices as well as distance from fields to residence are factors that affect significantly the probability of applying intercropping, crop rotation and mulching practices. Enhancing farmers' knowledge towards SLM practices, and facilitating them to engage in extension training courses related to these practices would accelerate the adoption speed of SLM practices in the selected research site.
