In developing the IWEP model and investigating farmers’ willingness to adopt it, this study surveyed 4 00 farmers in Kedah. The intention of the farmers to adopt the proposed model was analysed by adding perceived barriers and socio socio-economic variables into the theory of reasoned action (TRA) model. The collected data were processed using structural equatio equation modeling (SEM). The SEM results show that the subjective norm is positive and has a significant impact on the intenti ons of low low-income farmers to accept the IWEP model. This indicates that the decision of the low low-income farmers to accept the IWEP model is significantly influenced by their family members, neighbours and friends.
