Validating Science Through On-Farm Evidence

Approaches

How We Validate Innovations

On-Farm Trials

Real-world testing of varieties, technologies and farming systems under farmer conditions. These trials generate locally relevant evidence that informs farmer decision-making.

Technology Demonstration Sites

Showcasing innovations such as hydroponics, seed systems and climate-smart practices. Farmers visit demonstration sites to learn through observation and hands-on experience.

Farmer Participatory Research

Engaging farmers directly in selection, testing and validation of agricultural technologies. Farmers are co-researchers, not just recipients of information.

Scaling

Innovation Awareness & Scaling

We actively promote awareness and adoption of innovations through multiple channels that reach farmers where they are — in the field, online and in community spaces.
