Agricultural innovations such as disease resistant maize varieties and integrated pest management often hold a potential for wider application. This motivates many agricultural development interventions to aim for scaling agricultural innovations. However, several factors may constrain such intentions. Scaling may also lead to undesirable side-effects such as environmental degradation. Wigboldus et al. review current and alternative approaches to scaling. They present a framework to enrich views on what is involved in helping such innovations go to scale in an effective and responsible way
