Results suggest that the higher the size of the incentive, the more the likelihood of farmers' willingness to invest in CSA schemes. Similarly, the farmers were in favor of community development associations and non-governmental organizations-managed schemes over other project managements and also prefer government-based institutions as opposed to the private sector. Willingness to accept results suggest that an average farmer is willing to accept   |5 40/ha/year and   |3 86/ha/year to embrace good agricultural practices (GAPs) with and without manure application. ©
