Dissemination of Improved Technologies Based on Innovation Platform Approach for Sustainable Wheat Production in Ethiopia
- Tolessa D.; Solomon A.; Wudineh G.; Rehima M.; Wasihun L.; Wondimu F.
- Support to Agricultural Research for Development of Strategic Crops (SARD-SC) wheat project has employed innovation system approach as a guiding principle in its improved technology dissemination to small-scale wheat farmers in Ethiopia. Within this context, six Innovation Platforms (IPs) and many Innovation Clusters (ICs) were established and operationalized to demonstrate and popularize best-bet bread and durum wheat technologies along the value chains during 2013-2016. Training of farmers, Devepemnt Agents (DAs) and Subject Matter Specialists (SMSs) were considered as the means through which improved technologies, knowledge and skills are conveyed and enabled farmers to use the new practices accuretely. As a result, a total of 172 SMSs, 154 DAs and 7,906 farmers (25% women) were trained on improved wheat management practices. Demnostration of best-bet technologies has been found the most important group techniques used for new technology dissemination to small-scale farmers. Consequently, 406.1 tons of improved wheat seeds were used for demonstration and a total 9084 farmers (26.1% women) were direct beneficiaries. A series of 38 field days were organized and more than 11,200 farmers (24% women) were participated. The IP has linked farmers to processors through its networks. Contractual farming and community marketing were established that enhnaced market bargain capacity of small-scale farmers. In the IP sites, 314 champion wheat farmers produced >6.5 t/ha and recognized for their excellence in wheat production. Champions enthuse peers from their group, promote networks among IP members and within their constituencies. As the result of improved technology dissemination, wheat productivity increased from 2.5 t/ha at the baseline to 4.0 t/ha in the intervention areas, productivity increased by 60.0%. Likewise, national mean wheat yield increased from 2.0 t/ha in 2012 to 2.54 t/ha in 2016 with yield increment of 27.0%. Results of impact assessment study revealed that participant farmers generated significantly higher income about 53.8% from wheat production as compared to non-participant farmers. This indicates there is significant adoption of improved packages of wheat technologies in the IP sites, and the innovation system and its network played important roles. In general, the IP has been found an opportunity for all stakeholders in which everybody is taking ownership and responsibility for the outcome. The end users of the innovation are involved in every steps of technology development which made innovation adoption and diffusion much easier
