Summary: This is an exploratory analysis of an extensive study of attempts to introduce two new peanut varieties to two farm communities in the Philippines over the 1988-89 to 1994-95 (5-year) period. This analysis focuses on the: (1) extent of impacts, (2) sustainability of impacts, (3) production impacts, and (4) influences on adoption (including possible influences of the farmer, farm, contact network, community, and a national institution). Adoption and impact studies have almost exclusively focused on adoption at the end of an extension effort and on the characteristics of the farm and farmer in the target communities. This focus has led to the charge of blaming the victim if there is little impact. This long-term research project intends to draw on context variables in order to identify community, sub-community and contact network constraints and facilitators, which theory suggests will have greater effects on adoption, impacts and sustainability.
