The effect of Sustainable Frugal Innovations on agriculture productivity

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...
