From technology adoption to understanding innovation: lessons from plantain innovation systems in four countries
Published 2014“…In recent decades, new production technologies and varieties have become available and are being tested in major producing countries. The purpose of the project ‘Intensification of plantain production in Latin America and West Africa” which results are presented on this poster was 1) to identify determinants for successful technological change for intensification in plantain production and bottlenecks in the socio-economic and market context, and innovation and seed systems in Latin America and 2) analyze how these elements are relevant under conditions in West Africa, so as to contribute to intensification and off-season plantain production for West African smallholders.…”
