This study empirically examined the effects of the participatory approach on the adoption of new crop varieties and agricultural
practices. Particularly, we focused on the social network structure and examined how the introduced technologies diffused
through networks in rural Ethiopia. Our empirical results indicate that if farmers knew and trusted fellow participants, the probability
of adopting a new maize variety increased by 25 percentage points. However, this network had no statistical impact on
the diffusion of new agricultural practices. We conclude that the participatory approach has great potential in the adoption of
new crop varieties through the social networks of farmers in Ethiopia.
