Description
Summary:This scoping study assesses the institutional, systemic, and market readiness for introducing Biological Nitrification Inhibition (BNI) wheat in Kenya, Ethiopia, and India. It applies CIMMYT’s Scaling for Impact diagnostic framework to identify technical, regulatory, and behavioral constraints to BNI scaling. The study draws on a systematic review of seed systems and farmer typology; analysis of nationally representative household surveys; and stakeholder consultations with 75 experts.
