INNOVATIVE APPROACHES
Special instruments have been developed and tested to reach local actors. General characteristics are:
I. Knowledge & Communication Analysis
29.05.2017
• Exchange of formal and local knowledge • Build social capital • Engage in action research • Change attitudes
II. Socio-economic Field Laboratories (SFL) III.Participative Innovation Platforms (PIP)

Research proved agroforestry systems to be a sustainable livelihood strategy in the Andes
Problem statement: • Farmers do not incorporate agroforestry systems on a larger scale
PERU
Socio-Economic Field Laboratories BOLIVIA
• Results discussed with farmers & local experts • Redefine potential interventions
For further information: Dr. François Jost
Outcomes: Agroforestry systems are NOT suitable FOR ALL farmers 29.05.2017
