Business models for maximising the diffusion of technological innovations for climate-smart agriculture

Thomas B. Long, Vincent Blok, Kim Poldner · 2016 · The International Food and Agribusiness Management Review

Summary. Current business models for delivering climate-smart agricultural technologies fail to optimize diffusion because they misalign with farmer needs. The study identifies critical gaps in value propositions, distribution channels, customer relationships, resources, partnerships, and cost structures. Innovation providers and potential users hold conflicting views about what works. The authors recommend redesigning business models to better match farmer adoption requirements and accelerate climate-smart agriculture uptake.
