Resource management technologies are more likely to be adopted in areas experiencing a long-term deterioration in market conditions. Adoption occurs primarily to increase long-term economic viability. Thus adoption may coexist with adverse environmental and social impacts. Past opportunities for asset accumulation appear to be a pre-condition for adoption, indicating the importance of building up the resilience of farmers (particularly the resource-poor) during good times. Partnerships with the private sector can contribute significantly to technology diffusion.  aBrazil  aland use  aresource management  asoybeans  atechnology  aCerrado  aGlycine Max  aPolítica Agrícola  aSoja  aTecnologia  aUso da Terra  aAgricultural policies  aBrasil  aManejo de recursos1 aCADAVID, J.
