• Characteristics:• Helps the different actors of the market chain, including
farmers, to express better their needs to R&D organizations
• Stimulates innovations of different types among market chain actors through collective learning and trust building
• Facilitates partnership among farmers, market chain actors and service providers for improving the VC efficiency.

Indonesia: Farmer Business School (FBS)FBS Combines the Best of FFS and Market-Chain Approaches
Lessons learnedThe PMCA as a new way to do agricultural R&D with a strong innovation focus• Contributed to change work and relationship between the
heterogeneous market chain actors (institutional innovations), – Key to have a champion to facilitate the process
• Triggers innovation process, evolves over time, second and third generation innovations emerge after PMCA has ended
• PMCA is most effective when applied together with other measures as part of a broader intervention (program or project)– Innovation platforms, farmers’ organizations, public awareness,…
• PMCA developed in the Andes was enriched from global applications in other regions through South-South learning :– Farmer Business School in Indonesia and Asia– Gender tools in Uganda and East Africa
Thank you!
