  "abstract": "For organic farming to be adopted it should be simple, understandable in its concept and easy to practise. In this research, results show that the adoption of organic farming in Jordan is perceived as a complex issue surrounded by uncertainty and not easy to practise. Therefore, this paper suggests an action plan to help the government of Jordan, and other countries to promote and ease the adoption of organic farming.",
