Abstract
Institutional and technological innovations on food and nutrition security (FNS). Impact assessments have been undertaken by various organizations. It is widely acknowledged that innovations in agriculture and other sectors have a remarkable impact on FNS. While the impact assessments of such innovations mostly focus on a specific type of innovation and FNS outcome, our meta-analysis expands the assessment to several types of innovations and their multiple impacts, including on agricultural production and distribution, environmental aspects and nutrition outcomes. The meta-analysis is complemented by a survey of stakeholders' perceptions about the impacts of innovations for FNS. Drawing on the meta-analysis and the survey results, we discuss a framework for the development of FNS innovation scenarios.
