A
series of field pilot studies termed as “campaigns”, involving
agriculture communities, were conducted in the Kurunegala, Matale, and
Batticaloa Districts in Sri Lanka. Farmers identified various knowledge
mobilization activities, ranging from exchanging local crop price
information, to alerting on elephant attack, to disease control, general
inquiries, announcements, so on and so forth. This
presentation will discuss the insights gained as well as challenges
faced by the research team in carrying out the campaigns, with a view to
developing a better understanding of key factors of partnership
development for promoting inclusive innovation among these communities
of practice.
