Promoting innovation capacity for the benefit of family farms

Previous chapters have discussed the roles of research and of extension and rural advisory services in supporting innovation on family farms. A broader challenge lies in strengthening the innovation system for the benefit of family farmers, to improve their productivity, the sustainability of their production, and their livelihoods. This chapter examines how to develop innovation capacity for family farms at different levels: individual, collective and through an enabling environment.
