Research for development organizations like the International Potato Center (CIP), which develop science-based solutions to the challenges faced by millions of smallholders, introduce and test those innovations with communities before taking them to scale. But taking even the most promising innovation to scale can be a challenge in and of itself, which is why researchers are increasingly focusing on approaches to scaling early in the research process.
An article by scientists from CIP and partner institutions recently published in the journal Agricultural Systems is an important contribution to this area of research.
