Innovation Is More Than an Ingredient
A Socio-Technical Innovation Bundle (STIB) treats innovation as a system, not just a product. Instead of distributing improved seed alone, bundles combine seed with insurance, gender-responsive training, digital tools, and market linkages to address structural barriers that limit adoption. When linked with On-Farm Experimentation, these bundles can be tested under real conditions to assess whether they truly reduce constraints and improve outcomes across diverse farmer groups.
