Résumé : Diversified farming systems (DFS) have been recognized as effective strategies in the shift to sustainable food production, however factors enabling their adoption are poorly understood and unsustainable monocultures persist in many places. We conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of 154 peerreviewed articles to understand how socio-demographic, economic, biophysical, behavioral, and contextual factors influence the adoption of 10 DFS (i.e., agroforestry, agriaquaculture, agro-silvopasture, cover crops, fallow, intercropping, crop rotation, embedded natural, rotational grazing, and combined systems). Results showed that among 45 factors studied in 44 countries, increasing access to extension services and agricultural training, farmers' formal education and income, secure land tenure, and positive attitude toward sustainable farming practices, had a positive impact on DFS adoption. However, farm biophysical factors, and household socio-demographic characteristics seem to not affect DFS adoption. These findings emphasize the importance of holistic initiatives and policies that encompass socio-economic empowerment, knowledge dissemination, capacity building while ensuring farmers' land rights and stability in driving sustainable agricultural transformations.
