6. Innovation Platform
“A forum for learning and action involving a group of
actors with different backgrounds and interests: farmers,
agricultural input suppliers, traders, food processors,
researchers, government officials, etc. These actors
come together to develop a common vision and find
ways to achieve their goals. They may design and
implement activities as a group or coordinate activities by
individual actors.”
Homann-Kee Tui et al (2013)
