Abstract

This paper examines the shifts needed in the development, adoption and scaling of innovation and technology to achieve resilient and inclusive rural transformation across farming systems and value chains. It analyzes opportunities for innovations to generate rural employment, improve smallholder farmer livelihoods, alleviate malnutrition and address the impacts of climate change. The paper identifies five key levers of change that include: (i) a renewed focus on long-term investment in participatory, equity-sensitive and gender-responsive agricultural R&D, (ii) ensuring that marginalized voices are heard, (iii) promoting equitable access to technology, (iv) leveling the playing field by curbing corporate dominance while encouraging private sector support for small- and medium-scale agrifood enterprises, and (v) prioritizing rural employment amid automation and evolving value chains.
