dc.description.abstractThe report draws attention to social and agroecological impacts; negative as well as positive rates and consequences of technological innovation adoption; farmer innovations’ that enable improved ‘fit’ of technologies within existing farming systems; and the ways technologies spread within communities. The guide describes a methodology for tracking effects of technological interventions in agriculture. The methodology emphasizes technology “spillover” or, spontaneous farmer-to-farmer spread of technologies in the absence of outside mediation (farmer-led modifications), giving greater insight into innovation adoption and impact. Findings are presented from the application of the methodology in two benchmark sites of the ecoregional African Highlands Initiative (AHI).en
