Anchoring innovation methodologies to ‘go-to-scale’; a framework to guide agricultural research for development

Mikinay Seifu, Annemarie van Paassen, Laurens Klerkx, Cees Leeuwis · 2020 · Agricultural Systems

Summary. Research for development projects use innovation platforms to solve agricultural problems, but scaling these approaches to new contexts remains unclear. This paper develops a framework for anchoring innovation methodologies across networking, institutional, and methodological dimensions. Testing the framework on a farmer research group in Ethiopia, the authors identify which anchoring tasks succeeded or failed and provide concrete recommendations for R4D projects seeking to scale their innovations effectively across different contexts.
