Figure 2. Early natural farming adoption concentrated on biostimulants, while other practices are scaling over time 21

Figure 3. Initial practice adoption does not translate into full transition without sustained support 22

Figure 4. Adoption patterns vary by region and season, underscoring the need for context-specific scale-up strategies 23

Figure 5. Cadre interaction and access to irrigation are one of the key drivers of natural farming adoption 25

Figure 6. Avoiding the usage of synthetic chemical inputs in food production is the biggest motivator for natural farming 25
