In the context of a growing population in an already densely populated area, agricultural yields will need to increase without putting additional stress on the environment. The adoption of modern inputs by smallholders is an important ingredient of agricultural transformation. In this study we ex...

Stimulating agricultural technology adoption lessons from fertilizer use among Ugandan potato farmers
Agricultural innovation systems are complex, multi-layered, and can be difficult to define and analyse. In this paper, we provide examples of ‘systems analysis’: describing the context, what was done, and how the outcomes informed broader research and development activities.
The five cases descri...

This working document presents a proposal to integrate the verification of promising technology with farmer participation in the research process. A case study, already half finished, is presented in which the proposed methodology has been applied. (AS- CIAT)
Financial cooperatives and microfinance institutions (MFIs) are the two major sources of rural finance in Ethiopia. Whereas MFIs are relatively new, financial cooperatives have existed for centuries in various forms. The coexistence of two different institutions serving the same group of people, ...
