Confronting the challenge of low of adoption of agricultural technologies

Dear all

Since December 2017 the CCARDESA discussion group community was sharing
ideas on how to improve adoption of agricultural technologies. The
discussion emanated from the concern that research is generating
technologies at a rate faster than their adoption. Is there a problem
with the research system, extension system,or farmers themselves?. If so
how, is it solved? The discussion generated several reasons for failure
of farmers to adopt the new technologies, possible solutions and a lot
of questions demanding further consideration and more research. Please
find _HERE [1]_a synthesis of the points which were raised.
