Why a Scaling Innovations Lab?

Innovations, whether technologies, products or processes, do not automatically create impact. Innovations which are adopted create impact. Many interesting and functional innovations have been developed, but for various reasons have not been widely adopted or reached meaningful scale, and therefore have not achieved impact. There is a strong need for research to support scaling success, in order to advance knowledge regarding the conditions which support and enhance the adoption, uptake, expansion and commercialization of agricultural innovations.
