ADOPT (Adoption and Diffusion Outcome Prediction Tool) provides a tool that provides a step-by-step approach to evaluating and predicting the likely level of adoption and diffusion of specific agricultural innovations. Predictions are made in response to the answers to a series of 22 questions, which the user responds to with a particular innovation and a particular target population of potential adopters in mind.

ADOPT is based on the insights from the material presented on this web site. The 22 questions cover issues relating to the innovation and the target population. In each case, the questions explore the relative advantage of the innovation and its trialability.

A BETA version, in an Excel spreadsheet, is available for downloading at www.csiro.au/ADOPT. ADOPT will be revised in response to feedback from users and an improved version released during 2012.
