These may include, among others, complexity versus simplicity, labor versus leisure, high risk versus low risk, and resilience versus profit maximization. Farmers&#8217; perceptions of the prestige, independence, and recreational or aesthetic benefits of ICLS versus other systems are also highly relevant. Of key importance, yet poorly understood, is the role of knowledge systems and social networks in influencing farmers&#8217; access to information about the costs and benefits of ICLS versus other management systems or their agricultural preferences and attitudes related to ICLS. To assess barriers to ICLS adoption, including how social networks and knowledge systems influence the use of ICLS we rely primarily on farmer survey techniques coupled with semi-structured interviews.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-4 text-center\">\n<div class=\"panel panel-default\">\n<div class=\"panel-body\">\n<img src=\"http:\/\/bu.builtbyjanda.com\/assets\/images\/icons\/publication.svg\" alt=\"Publications\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">Publications<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"#publications\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"#project-modal\">View Publications<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .panel-body -->\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .panel --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .col --><\/p>\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-4 text-center\">\n<div class=\"panel panel-default\">\n<div class=\"panel-body\">\n<img src=\"http:\/\/bu.builtbyjanda.com\/assets\/images\/icons\/report.svg\" alt=\"Findings\/Summary\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">Findings\/Summary<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"#\">Coming soon<\/button>\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .panel-body -->\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .panel -->\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .col --><\/p>\n<div class=\"visible-xs hidden-sm hidden-md hidden-lg clearfix\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-4 text-center\">\n<div class=\"panel panel-default\">\n<div class=\"panel-body\">\n<img src=\"http:\/\/bu.builtbyjanda.com\/assets\/images\/icons\/image_gallery.svg\" alt=\"Images\/Gallery\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">Images\/Gallery<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"\/croplivestock\/research-projects\/image-gallery\">View Gallery<\/a>\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .panel-body -->\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .panel --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .col -->\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .row --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Modal content for page --><\/p>\n<div id=\"publications-modal-content\" class=\"hidden\">\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Garrett R, Gil J, Valentim J Transfer\u00eancia de tecnologia: desafios e oportunidades para ado\u00e7\u00e3o de ILPF na Amazonia (Technology transfer: challenges and opportunities for the adoption of integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems in the Amazon).
