Knowledge and InnovatIon for agrIcultural development

Kwadwo Asenso-Okyere, Kristin Davis · 2009 · Policy briefs

Summary. Rural agricultural development requires linking indigenous knowledge with formal research and development. The paper argues that while rural communities innovate through local experimentation and adaptation, indigenous knowledge alone cannot address complex challenges like food price volatility, climate change, and biofuel demand. Sustainable agricultural development accelerates when formal and informal knowledge systems connect, enabling knowledge creation, sharing, and practical application across technologies, organizations, institutions, and policies.
