The Brief
- A study in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems examines social relationships in scaling agricultural innovations.
- Partnerships and institutional collaboration feature prominently in climate-oriented agricultural research.
- Their relationship with the scaling of innovations is rarely explicitly documented, according to the study.
Why it matters
