Innovation systems thinking is increasingly influencing approaches to sustainable agricultural development in developing world contexts. This represents a shift away from technology transfer towards recognition that change entails complex interactions among multiple actors and range of technical, social institutional factors. One option for practically applying innovation involves the establishment platforms (IPs). Such are designed bring together variety different stakeholders exchange...
Men and women interact with water resources landscapes in different ways, there are frequent criticisms that little research is undertaken across disciplines to address this issue. Biophysical scientists particular struggle how integrate "gendered" uses into models necessarily based on prevailing laws equations describe the movement of through hydrological cycle, independent social constructs.
