Cross-sectional survey design targeting farmers from three NGOs in Adamawa, Kano, and Oyo States.
Analysis of data using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling.
Investigation of dimensions including new services/products, practices, and processes.
New practices positively influenced household standard of living (β = 0.669, p < 0.000).
New processes also had a positive effect (β = 0.322, p < 0.000).
New services/products negatively impacted welfare (β = -0.150, p = 0.011), indicating adoption challenges.
