Our research identifies a previously undiscussed potential bias of key informant interviews. Participation of local government authorities, farmer cooperatives, and the private sector could then boost the portfolio’s scaling potential. As pointed out by Lokot, key informant interviews are considered a reliable and ubiquitous part of qualitative research, but as she pointed out, potentially problematic because of potential bias due around who key informants are representing. The technologies and practices prioritized by the farmers can be integrated into a CSA portfolio to foster farmer uptake and adoption. The goal of conducting key informant interviews is to obtain descriptions of insights, perceptions, and experiences from a wide range of people. In terms of CSA technologies, farmers expressed their willingness to undergo trainings and attend demonstration trials to learn them. Key informant interviews are in-depth qualitative interviews of a small number of individuals (15-35) with direct knowledge or experience about a particular topic. In contrast, farmers did not prioritize leaf color charts and salt-tolerant rice varieties for their perceived unsuitability in their village. Farmers considered economic and environmental benefits for prioritizing these CSA practices. Home gardens emerged as another CSA practice that farmers preferred on their farms. Rice production could be complemented with animal husbandry, provided that its market is stable and the focus points on sanitation treatment. UCLA CENTER FOR HEALTH POLICY RESEARCH Section 4: Key Informant Interviews Purpose Key informant interviews are qualitative in-depth interviews with people. Majority of key informants stated that rice production must be prioritized because it is the main livelihood of farmers in Tra Hat CSV. Altogether, the results of the interviews and surveys would serve as a guide to implement the prioritized CSA practices and out-scale them in Bac Lieu Province. Results of the household surveys conducted in Tra Hat CSV were considered on this paper as well. Key informant sampling matrix (cont. The interviews aimed to further assess the climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices that farmers wanted to adopt on their farms, as well as the factors and barriers for adoption. Before conducting any focus groups or key informant interviews, it is important to decide what information you would like to obtain from your qualitative methods. This paper presents the results of key informant interviews conducted in Tra Hat Climate-Smart Village (CSV) in Vietnam.
