SamenvattingThis bulletin analyses the role played by farmers’ organizations in agricultural innovation and investigates the constraints preventing them from fully playing their role. Based on case studies conducted in Benin, Rwanda and Tanzania, the book presents a number of best practices and lessons learned, and identifies issues related to strengthening the role of farmers’ organizations. The case studies show that farmers’ organizations currently gain knowledge and access information from various sources. However, for knowledge to become innovation, appropriate institutional and organizational settings are necessary. The studies underscore the fact that agricultural innovation is a multi-stakeholder, interactive process in which farmers’ organizations are key actors. They need to develop specific skills and link with other actors, who in turn have to accept them as allies in the innovation process.
