Highlighted Publication

Scale Up Sourcebook

The content of the Scale Up Sourcebook was informed by a Scale Up Conference organized by Purdue University and held in West Lafayette, Indiana, USA, on September 25–27, 2018. Over 200 persons from 20 countries, representing over 90 organizations, attended this conference that focused on how to best scale agricultural technologies and innovations to impact millions in the developing world. The objectives of the conference were to enhance understanding of scaling up, establish a network among agricultural experts working in developing countries, and aid in the spread of technologies that will feed our growing global population. The Scale Up Sourcebook is intended to capture the spirit and content of the Scale Up Conference, continue the conversation on scale up, and serve as a user guide on the topic.
