There are well-established arguments about the top-down approach being a major reason for such low performance of agricultural research. Therefore, there’s been a shift toward more participatory methodologies in which non-governmental organisations become central. The objective of this paper is to critically analyse the contribution of agricultural innovation platforms (as a participatory methodology) in the district of Hwedza, Zimbabwe, through examining the multi-faceted social interactions and relationships embodied in the innovation platform process. | | Détenteur du copyright | African Community of Practice (AfCoP) | | Copyright URL | http://www.acbf-pact.org | | Taille du fichier | 569072 MB | | Format du fichier | PDF | | [ Voir/télécharger document ] |
