Today is the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss & Waste! Do you know the difference between #FoodLoss & #FoodWaste? Swipe right to find out! #FLWDay

Differences in the perception of soil characteristics between farmers and agricultural specialists, may result in situations where technological packages arrive at farms that are not likely to adopt or the reverse: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

#Smallholders' perception of #soil characteristics, as well as actual variability of the soil, are likely causes of low adoption rates of agricultural interventions. 💭🌱 New 📝 by Luciana Delgado (IFPRI) & jetse stoorvogel (Wageningen U&R): doi.org/10.1016/j.jrur… CGIAR

📌Key takeaway from Luciana Delgado & jetse stoorvogel's new paper (doi.org/10.1016/j.jrur…): Reducing information gaps with respect to real needs of farmers 👨‍🌾 will make ag extension policies more effective, resulting in higher adoption rates of new tech & increased productivity. 📈

It was great to host so many IFPRI colleagues this week in #Kigali to discuss our collaboration with Mastercard Foundation and World Food Programme!
