Abstract
Recent technological advancements have shown promise in enhancing agricultural productivity among smallholder farmers in South Africa. Not applicable for this theoretical framework article. The proposed framework provides insights into the factors influencing smallholder farmers' decisions to adopt sustainable agricultural technologies, thereby facilitating policy and practice development for rural development initiatives. Further empirical research should validate these theoretical propositions through longitudinal studies over multiple years.
