Abstract:

  • Farmers learn both from heterogeneous and peer networks. The intersection of the two is the most conductive for innovation
  • Communities of practice are spaces not only of learning, but of production of discourses and norms for innovation
  • Addressing communities of practice rather than individual farmers in innovation projects empowers farmers to innovate
