Agricultural innovation is the process through which individuals or organizations introduce new or existing products, processes, or organizational methods into a specific context for the first time. This initiative aims to enhance effectiveness, competitiveness, resilience to shocks, and environmental sustainability, and ultimately contribute to food security, nutrition, economic development, and sustainable natural resource management. Innovation involves implementing something new and different, whether by addressing an old problem in a new way, tackling a new problem with a proven solution, or introducing a new solution to a new problem.
