C4OI: Special Training Session (English): Using the “Innovation Tracking Approach” to leverage local agricultural innovations in your DeSIRA Project
2023, March 30 @ 13:00 - 15:00
Does your project aim to leverage local agricultural innovations but you don’t know how to select or prioritize them? Is your objective to engage local farmers in innovation processes, but you don’t know how to identify these farmers? Do you want to scale out agricultural innovations, but you must first understand how these innovations work in their specific context?
These questions are central to the Innovation Tracking Approach and will be the focus of this special session. In the form of a three-hour workshop, the special session will have several learning objectives.
Objectives
- Understand the different types of local innovations in the agricultural sector;
- Understand what an innovation tracking approach is, and how it can leverage local agricultural innovations;
- Design an innovation tracking approach adapted to your own Desira project.
