Resumo: | There is a considerable literature about the adoption of organic farming. However,  possible abandonment of organic farming has received scant attention.  Thus, relatively little is known about the exit decisions of farmers. In addition,  most studies are based on a static framework where it is not possible to account  for changes in farmer decisions over time. This article attempts to fill this gap in  the literature by investigating the determinants that affect both adoption and  abandonment of organic drystock farming over time. The use of duration analysis  allows for the consideration of cross-sectional and time-varying factors over  the study period from 1981 to 2008. Using this dynamic econometric framework  revealed a significant time effect on entry and exit decisions. Overall, the results  highlight that where no attempt is made to account for exit decisions and time  effects, important information about sustainable farmer decisions may not be  taken into consideration.
