FAO believes that innovation is the central driving force for achieving a world free from hunger and malnutrition, where food and agriculture contribute to reducing poverry in an economically, socially and

environ menta lly sustainable way.

lnnovation is usually perceived as related to technology. ^lnfact, innovation ^isbroader than that. tnnovation is

the

process whereby individuals or organisations bring new or existing products, processes or ways of organisation

into

use for the

first time

in ^a specific context to increase effectiveness, competitiveness ^and resilience with the goal of solving a problem.
