        <dc:description>Purpose – New agricultural technologies are continuously generated and promoted for adoption by farmers&#13;
with the expectation that they bring about higher benefits than older technologies. Yet, depending on the&#13;
perceived benefits, the user of the technology may choose to stop using it. This paper aims to analyze what&#13;
drives farmers to dis-adopt climate smart sorghum varieties in Tanzania.&#13;
Design/methodology/approach – The study uses cross-sectional farm household level data collected in&#13;
Tanzania from a sample of 767 households. The determinants of dis-adoption are explored using a bivariate&#13;
probit with sample selection model.&#13;
Findings – The authors find that while farmers switch between different sorghum varieties, most farmers&#13;
actually quit sorghum production. Older farmers and those facing biotic stresses such attacks by birds are&#13;
more likely to dis-adopt sorghum.&#13;
Practical implications – These findings suggest that there is scope for improving and sustaining the&#13;
adoption of sorghum varieties in Tanzania once extension services are strengthened. The findings also point&#13;
to a well-founded theory on the role ofmarkets in enhancing the overall sustainability of food systems.&#13;
Social implications – The study findings have broader implications for understanding the sustainability&#13;
of improved technology adoption&#13;
Originality/value – Dis-adoption is also positively associated with the lack of access to markets&#13;
underscoring the role of markets in enhancing the overall sustainability of technology adoption and food&#13;
systems.</dc:description>
