Driving Scalable Solutions for Agriculture

Advances in agricultural innovation offer unprecedented opportunities to improve productivity, profitability, and resilience. AIM for Scale was established to bridge the gap between pilots and implementation at scale–accelerating the adoption of evidence-based, cost-effective innovations that improve farmer outcomes.

Our Innovation
Packages

 

AIM for Scale’s primary instrument to scale innovations is the Innovation Package—a structured investment blueprint focused on a single high-potential innovation area. Each package identifies the full set of conditions required for scale, including technical design, financing mechanisms, delivery systems, implementation capacity, and long-term sustainability pathways.

What makes us different

Grounded in Evidence

Every innovation area we support is backed by rigorous evidence of impact and cost-effectiveness. We don’t just ask whether something works—we ask how well it works, at what cost, and whether it can maintain that performance at scale. This ensures we are channeling resources toward solutions that effectively and efficiently improve farmer livelihoods.

Purpose-Built For Scale

AIM for Scale complements the work of organizations developing new innovations by focusing on scale and delivery. We design innovation packages that connect proven solutions with the financing, institutional capacity, and implementation support needed to reach millions of farmers and sustain impact over time.

World-Class Expertise

AIM for Scale brings together leading academic minds and implementation partners like multilateral development banks with deep, field-level insight. This unique combination ensures that every solution we support is grounded in rigorous evidence and informed by real-world experience.

Deeply Collaborative

AIM for Scale doesn’t work in isolation. We partner with governments, donors, researchers, multilateral institutions, private-sector actors, and NGOs to align efforts around high-impact innovations. As a broker, convener, and provider of technical and strategic support, we help partners coordinate more effectively—ensuring that resources are directed toward solutions that work and that investments deliver measurable, scalable results.
