Addressing challenge of upscaling and outscaling of agricultural innovations

Success stories from PANTIL and previous SUA researches are visible in project villages and sites

Limited evidence of upscaling of best practices and proven technologies to entire villages and districts

SUA cannot achieve upscaling working alone Partnerships required Change in approaches required

The Agricultural innovation system

Is made up of three main components: The knowledge

and education domain

The Business and enterprise domain

The Bridging institutions that facilitate the transfer of knowledge between the two domains (Arnold & Bell, 2001)

Informal institutions, practices, behaviours; e.g. organizational culture, learning orientation, communication practices

The Agricultural innovation system … Governing the three

domains are social economic institutions that influence innovation processes Regulatory

functions, rules (both formal and informal) and practices that influence how individuals and organizations within each domain behave and interact as competitors or allies
