Phase of Innovation:

Impact Based Spatial Targeting Index (IBSTI) / Extrapolation Suitability Index (ESI)

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi

Two complementary indices were developed to guide evidence-based spatial targeting of sustainable agricultural intensification technologies during their scaling. The tool also generate a map of the most influential covariate (MIC) that is the environmental variable that exert the highest limit to suitability of a particular bundle of agronomic technologies over space. The ESI map can also guide seed companies and agro-dealers involved in production or distribution of improved seeds and fertilizers to target supplies to regions where their technologies have the highest potential societal impact.
