Agricultural innovation for Family Farmers

FAO believes that innovation, in general and particularly in agriculture, is the central driving force for achieving a world free from hunger and malnutrition.
Innovation is usually perceived as related to technology. In fact, innovation is broader than that. Agricultural innovation is the process whereby individuals or organizations bring new or existing products, processes or ways of organization into use for the first time in a specific context, to increase effectiveness, competitiveness and resilience with the goal of solving a problem. FAO plays a key role in promoting the importance of innovation in agriculture to increase food security, sustainable development and promote rural development.
