This notes paper touches on
Ethiopia's being one of nine countries Involvement in
the international network PROLINNOVA (Promoting Local
Innovation). The Ethiopian program set up multi-stakeholder
teams in different agro climatic zones. The paper goes on to
mention exhibition of local and modern innovations at the
Agricultural Technologies Exhibition which was held in
Mekelle, the capital of Tigray region and give examples of
local innovations. Some of the technologies at the
exhibition are: a water-lifting device developed by Priest
Malede Abreha and displayed as a model he built himself;
subsurface drainage developed to relieve waterlogged farms
in the main wet season; Drip irrigation systems, improved
bee hives and queen rearing; and domesticating wild bees for
medicinal honey. The paper also covers how farmers assess
these innovations and the differences in interests and
perceptions that such innovations bring. |
