In this paper the authors reflect on the potential role of innovation platforms as spaces to identify and spread useful
innovations associated with dairy production and feeding.
They draw examples from MilkIT, a project to promote
milk production in India and Tanzania. They first introduce the idea of innovation platforms and show how
they can be used to define the key issues quickly. They highlight the various changes in local practices that innovation
platforms can stimulate. They then consider how local innovations can move beyond innovation platforms, and
classify a series of mechanisms by which this can happen. They outline strategies to ensure that innovation platforms
generate wide-scale changes.
