The Impact of Technology Adoption and Resource Management on Agricultural Investment Decision: A Case Study on A Sample of Agricultural Investors in Algeria

Abstract

This study investigates the intricate dynamics of technology adoption and resource management in influencing agricultural investment decisions in the arid landscapes of Algeria. Employing a quantitative research design, the study explores the relationships between technology adoption, resource management, and agricultural investment decisions through a comprehensive survey of agricultural investors. The key findings reveal a robust and positive correlation between technology adoption and investment decisions, highlighting the pivotal role of technological advancements in shaping sustainable agricultural practices. Similarly, effective resource management emerges as a critical determinant, with judicious allocation of labor, material, financial, and managerial resources significantly influencing investment decision-making. The study underscores the nuanced interplay between technology adoption and resource considerations in the unique context of Algerian arid environments. Practical implications suggest the need for targeted investments in technology research, knowledge dissemination through extension services, and inclusive models of resource management integrating digital tools and supply chains. These insights not only advance our understanding of agricultural decision-making in arid regions but also offer actionable recommendations for policymakers, stakeholders, and financial institutions to foster a resilient and sustainable agricultural sector in Algeria.
