Innovation systems and support mechanisms
African agriculture is innovative by nature, as shown by its capacity to integrate many species foreign to the continent as a complement to traditional crops and for the purpose of diversification. Projects and mechanisms for "modernization" have attempted to amplify the rate of change, initially based on a technically oriented, top-down vision of innovation. But consideration of factors in the socioeconomic environment has led to a rethinking of the position of African farmers, whatever their level of production, on the premise that careful assessment should permit a new approach to extension services and lead to innovations that are not just technical in nature but also economic and organizational, and that are appropriate to the constraints at hand.
