About
Rodrigo Damasceno is a researcher at the forefront of agricultural technology adoption, with a focus on the intersection of digital innovation and sustainable farming practices in Brazil. His work primarily explores the drivers and barriers to digital technology uptake among smallholder and commercial farmers, with a particular emphasis on soybean production in São Paulo. Damasceno’s most-cited paper, “What drives the adoption of digital technology? An empirical assessment of multiple technology adoption by soybean farmers in São Paulo, Brazil” (2025), provides a rigorous empirical framework for understanding how factors like farm size, access to information, and risk perception influence the simultaneous adoption of multiple digital tools—from precision agriculture to farm management software. This study, already garnering 3 citations in its early release, stands out for its practical implications, offering policymakers and agritech developers actionable insights to bridge the digital divide in Brazilian agriculture. Damasceno’s contributions are vital for advancing a more data-driven, resilient agricultural sector, positioning him as a key voice in the global conversation on technology diffusion in emerging economies.
