                      system (TACPA system) is a conventionally and uniquely
                      adopted indigenous potential climate-smart agricultural
                      technology (CSAT) in northwest Ethiopia. This study
                      investigates factors determining farmers’ adoption and
                      intensity of use of the TACPA system using a descriptive
                      statistic and a double-hurdle model. A total of 326 farming
                      household heads were selected using multistage random
                      sampling from two purposively chosen provinces. The
                      descriptive statistics showed that $64.42\%$ of the local
                      farmers adopted the TACPA system, and the area covered by
                      the adopter was 0.38 ha. Empirical estimates of the first
                      hurdle revealed that credit, plot ownership, association,
                      primary road distance, asset, farming experience, labor,
                      family size, livestock, tenure, and marginal land influenced
                      the adoption of the TACPA system. On the other hand,
                      estimates of the second hurdle showed that the intensity of
                      use of the TACPA system was determined by age, plot
                      ownership, nativity, primary road distance use, livestock,
                      tenure, secondary road distance, and experience. The
                      complementarity between the adoption of the TACPA system and
                      its intensity of use suggests the necessity of joint
                      socio-economic policies to meet the priority needs of
                      smallholder farmers of the study area and to disseminate the
                      innovation to other parts of Africa with similar
                      environmental conditions},
