1985
Genthon, M. (French Technical Cooperation Office, La Plaine (Dominica))
The classification is based on interviews conducted by French Technical Cooperation Office staff with the assistance of other agents from 1981 to 1984. Farmers are placed in homogenous groups to allow more relevant interventions to be proposed for each group and increase technology adoption. Applications include (1) identifying target groups for training and for work elements; and (2) identifying relevant interest groups of farmers. The classification includes five main elements: (1) "Petit Planteur"; (2) the progressive farmer; (3) diversified farmers (3 categories); (4) part-time farmers; and (5) limited agricultural income farmers (four sub-categories)
