Résumé : The objective of this work is to identify the determinants of the adoption of innovative sustainable land management technologies among agricultural households while highlighting the relationship between gender and the adoption of these technological innovations. The data used in this article come from the 2018-2019 Annual Agricultural Survey (EAA), which covers all agricultural households practicing rainfed agriculture distributed by census district. The study involved 5,863 agricultural households in Senegal. The estimates were carried out with Stata 2015 using the multinomial logit model method. The results showed that beyond the determinants studied in the literature, other factors such as the duration of the journey between home and the sales market, being the owner of the plot, the characteristics of the plot, being a member of a commercial cooperative, storage capacity, market access constraints, and marketing constraints significantly explain the adoption of SLM technologies. The study also shows that the female variable is on the one hand positively and on the other hand negatively correlated with adoption. Thus, to encourage adoption, it is necessary to strengthen awareness among farmers but also to improve the conditions of women on access and exploitation of land for better inclusion in adoption.
