About
Hildo Meirelles de Souza Filho is a prominent researcher in agricultural economics and technology adoption, with a focus on the socioeconomic and environmental dynamics of farming systems in Brazil. His work primarily investigates the factors driving digital technology adoption among smallholder and commercial farmers, particularly in soybean production. In his highly cited 2025 study, "What drives the adoption of digital technology? An empirical assessment of multiple technology adoption by soybean farmers in São Paulo, Brazil," he provides a nuanced empirical analysis of how farm size, access to information, and institutional support shape technology uptake. This research offers critical insights for policymakers and extension services aiming to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability. With over 3 citations, his contributions are recognized for bridging behavioral economics and practical agronomy, helping to explain why farmers adopt—or resist—innovations. His work is notable for its rigorous quantitative methods and its relevance to Brazil’s role as a global agricultural powerhouse, making him a key voice in debates on digital transformation in rural economies.
