- In which dimension is the case of productivity gain?

- Access of the planting materials, seeds?

- External drivers and constraints in policies, market?

- is there any gender approach?

- The innovative approach is not clear to me. What is the main innovation?

- What type of forages were used?

- Description of innovation is general and difficult to know what it is. What kind of forages are applied on the farms?

- Are indigenous forages included?

- What are the forages compared to?

- Productivity gain seems too high?

- how were people reached with those forages? What approach was picked?

Is the prioritization/farmer fit etc process scaleable? 100 k farmers were "reached". What does that really mean?

What about the business case? It seems a bit of an afterthought.
