Business model inspiration and ideation for scaling CSADay 3 – 10th Oct | 14:00 – 15:30VIP room

Brief Description

There is great interest in scaling up Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), but there is a lack of successful and proven models for scaling CSA. One reason is the focus of CSA has been on developing and testing innovative CSA technologies, policies, and stakeholder processes, but less focus on designing innovative business models for scaling CSA. This side event session will be a highly interactive ideation workshop to co-design potential business models for scaling CSA. Using Human-Centered Design principles of inspiration and ideation, this workshop will bring together enthusiastic and innovative design teams to propose business models for scaling CSA around a set of different themes: (1) climate-smart seed systems; (2) climate information, agro-advisories, and extension; (3) climate-smart financial services; and (4) climate-smart value chains.
