  4. SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE PROGRAMME CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

  5. SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE Addressing challenge of upscaling and outscaling of agricultural innovations • Success stories from PANTIL and previous SUA researches are visible in project villages and sites • Limited evidence of upscaling of best practices and proven technologies to entire villages and districts • SUA cannot achieve upscaling working alone • Partnerships required • Change in approaches required

  6. SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE The Agricultural innovation system • Is made up of three main components: • The knowledge and education domain • The Business and enterprise domain • The Bridging institutions that facilitate the transfer of knowledge between the two domains (Arnold & Bell, 2001)

  7. SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE The Agricultural innovation system … • Governing the three domains are social economic institutions that influence innovation processes • Regulatory functions, rules (both formal and informal) and practices that influence how individuals and organizations within each domain behave and interact as competitors or allies

  8. SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE The Agricultural innovations system … • It is in this complex realm that research works to influence uptake of innovations by various value chain role players including innovative policies by policy makers
