In the past, various soil and water conservation practices were introduced and implemented inrnEthiopia. Still, those technologies failed to get acceptance of the land users because of theirrnlimitations and constraints. Thus, identification of constraints in relation to the adoption of soilrnand water conservation practices is of paramount importance. The study was undertaken inrnMeket Woreda of North Eastern Ethiopia, ANRS. The data were collected from 105 farmersrnresiding in 4 Kebeles that are randomly selected from 35 rural Kebeles 'where soil and waterrntechnologies have been introduced and widely implemented. Both qualitative and quantitativerndata were used to have reliable information. The basic data used for this study were collectedrnFOn! sample households, focus group participants and key informants through structuredrnquestionnaire and semi-structured checklists. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic modelrnwere employed to assess and identifY the factors that determine adoption of soil and waterrnconservation practices. Both indigenous and improved SWC measures are practicing in the studyrnarea. About 64.8% of the sampledfarmers were adopters and 35.2% were non-adopters ofSWCrnmeasures. Demographic, socio-economic and institutional factors influence the investment ofrnhouseholds commit to soil and water conservation measures. The result of the model shows thatrnthe explanatory variables: farmers' level of perception on soil erosion, farmers experience inrnfarming and extension service given by development agents increases the likelihood of adoptionrnof soil and water conservation practices measures by the farmers. On the other hand,rninvolvement in off-farm activities has a negative and significant influence on the adoption of soilrnand water conservation activities in the study area. In order to improve SWC practices; policyrnmakers, extension experts and development agents should give due attention for those significantrnvariables that determine farmers ' adoption of SWC measures.
