Step 2. What is practical and relevant to meet the needs?


Characteristics of good solutions 
  • credible, relevant and of interest to farmers
  • validated under local conditions.​
  • have clear benefit and are easy to test. ​

Evaluating possible solutions

  • Prioritize the problems - which problems are more important? Which problems have the most feasible solutions?

  • Does the problem require research, validation or does a proven solution exist?

  • Identify the true cause and type of problem  (e.g., Agronomic, Political or Socio-economic)

  • Evaluate if solutions are appropriate for your farmers  (e.g., Economic returns​, Simplicity vs Complexity, Fit with the farming system, Input availability and cost, etc.)
