Research framework for technology network and gendered knowledge analyses

This paper presents a detailed framework for connecting people and turning innovation into the implementation of conservation agriculture (CA) at the smallholder level through the use of networks, participatory processes, and data collection. With the use of adaptive management, we can effectively work together with actors in a technology network and begin to develop sustainable solutions to address the food security problem. To allow for adaptive management and the extension of knowledge networks, we need to map social relations to improve networks and spread conservation agriculture techniques.
