description |
The dynamism of the agricultural sector environment requires continuous innovation
to cope with emerging challenges. Sustainable frugal innovations (SFIs) are an attempt to scale
above sustainability challenges in agriculture. Zimbabwe, like many emerging economies has
embraced the application of sustainable frugal innovations in farming. The study sought to assess
the impact of sustainable frugal innovations on the growth of the agriculture sector. In this study,
Agriculture growth is defined asincrease in productivity hence the terms growth and productivity
are used interchangeably. A quantitative research was adopted to gather data from agriculture
experts. Preliminary correlation tests were run on economic, environmental and social
sustainability against productivity. The relationship between sustainable frugal innovations and
agriculture productivity was tested through regression analysis. The findings revealed positive
relationship between sustainable frugal innovation and agriculture growth. These findings
provide vital insights to motivate creation and adoption of sustainable frugal innovations.
Application of sustainable frugal innovations is expected to increase efficiency in production
and processing of agriculture produce hence grow the agriculture sector |
