| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to explore the adoption of innovation in the aquaculture
sector through the Awareness Knowledge Adoption Implementation Effectiveness
(AKAIE) sequence. The AKAIE is an extension of the Awareness Knowledge Adoption
Product (AKAP) model in order to better investigate the post-adoption phases. Using
the ‘Implementation’ and ‘Effectiveness’ phases, this study aims to further the understanding
of both the different levels of adoption and the impact of innovation in
terms of environmental, economic and social benefits produced. The proposed
sequence is contextualised in light of the multidimensional scenario of on-farm and
off-farm factors acting alongside the adoption of new technologies in the aquaculture
sector. In this paper, the perspective of aquaculturists is represented with the concept
of perceived complexity as the central node of the adoption process. The proposed
tool could support policy makers in understanding and disseminating
innovation in aquaculture. |
