Abstract
An innovation in agriculture has been the basis for increasing agricultural
productivity and promoting agricultural development. Over the years, farmers also selected
several varieties that had higher productivity and better quality. Farmers have also
developed new and low-cost technologies to preserve process and package various farm
products both for increased shelf life and better market opportunities. Although farmers’
innovations and re-inventions have always been happening but quite slowly and has seldom
been recognized by communities itself and the scientists also. It so, because of the key
actors’ innovation process is not working closely with each other. The significance of
farmers' innovations and re-inventions however ranges from being useful only to the
individual farmer, sometimes even limited to specific circumstances to a wider range of
application that can be used by many farmers. With this consideration, the problem
entitled “A critical study on generation of farmers’ innovations and re-inventions in
Saurashtra region” was undertaken.
