This document discusses upscaling agricultural technology to increase productivity in a sustainable way. It defines upscaling as intensifying and catalyzing existing good practices and innovations to multiply their impact through better extension services to farmers. This helps increase food production, processing and marketing while making agriculture more productive and efficient. The document introduces concepts of agriculture, sustainable agriculture, technology and issues in agriculture. It emphasizes designing policies that accelerate sustainable agriculture production and income through research and development of agro-technologies.

2. INTRODUCTION TO UP-SCALING

3. UP-SCALING
• Relate to intensifying and
catalyzing existing efforts
• Multiplying what is considered to
be good practice in agricultural
• An increase in technological
developments and innovations

4. • Better extension services to farmers
• Increase: production, processing, and
marketing of food, fiber, and
renewable natural resources
• Makes our agriculture production
system more productive and efficient
Why ?

20. ISSUES IN AGRICULTURE

21. COMPETING ISSUES
• Securing low-cost food to
urban consumers
• Supporting income of
rural farmers

22. AGRICULTURAL POLICIES
• Reduce income gap between
farm and non-farm work force
• Increased government budget
for agricultural subsidies and
incentives

23. NEW DIRECTIONS
Designing agricultural policies that
accelerate:
 sustainable agriculture production
 sustainable agriculture income
