ex-post impact assessment; and scaling of innovations. Foresight and scenario analyses help guide priority setting for research investments, policy reforms, and technology options by identifying strategies that can promote more inclusive and sustainable food, land, and water systems. Ex-ante impact assessment informs technology prioritization by estimating potential welfare impacts and determining where and for whom innovations should be deployed. \n\nImpact assessment research serves both accountability and learning purposes: it measures long-term impacts on food security, poverty reduction, and climate resilience, while also generating evidence to test key assumptions in the Theory of Change, improve technology delivery mechanisms, refine scaling strategies, and strengthen the long-term effectiveness of agricultural innovations. Scaling research identifies effective pathways and delivery mechanisms that facilitate widespread adoption of agricultural technologies by addressing barriers such as limited access to finance, markets, risk management tools, and extension services. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27c36e1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\"
