About
Federica Caffaro is a leading researcher in environmental and occupational psychology, with a primary focus on agricultural safety, technology adoption, and human factors in farming. Her most influential work, "Drivers of farmers’ intention to adopt technological innovations in Italy" (2020, 332 citations), examines how information sources, perceived usefulness, and ease of use shape farmers’ decisions—offering critical insights for designing effective agricultural policies and training programs. Caffaro’s research bridges psychology and agronomy, exploring how cognitive and social factors influence safety behaviors, risk perception, and the uptake of precision farming tools. Her contributions have been instrumental in understanding the barriers to innovation in rural contexts, with implications for sustainable agriculture and injury prevention. Beyond this landmark paper, she has published extensively on ergonomics in farming, human-machine interaction, and the role of communication in technology transfer. Her work is widely cited by scholars in agricultural engineering, public health, and behavioral science, reflecting its interdisciplinary reach. Caffaro’s research not only advances theoretical frameworks but also provides actionable recommendations for stakeholders aiming to enhance farmer well-being and agricultural sustainability.
