Abstract

This Research Topic includes nine articles related to innovation processes, land use transitions, roles of advisors, application of agroecological practices, and farmer perspectives in change processes. The research represents regional contexts including Kenya, Australia, the UK, the Netherlands, Ghana, and the Philippines. From this Research Topic we propose the following research agenda: • What are benefits or costs and operational implications experienced by farmers when implementing transformative technologies and practices? • What are the linkages between transformational practices and positive sustainability outcomes? • How is transformation addressed in a context of deep uncertainty? • How is responsible innovation enacted in farm-level transformations? • What is the role of advisory networks that farmers require during transformative change? • What are implications for advisors with respect to their work, roles, capacities and businesses? • How can we improve our methodologies for assessing socioeconomic and sustainability impacts of farm system transformation and on-farm digitalization?
