Abstract
Abstract This chapter puts forward 'technology stewardship' as an approach for training and supporting individuals and teams who engage their agricultural communities to encourage and support innovative practices with low-cost, widely available digital technologies. The chapter draws upon theoretical ideas of 'communities of practice' to analyse a stewardship initiative that has been implemented in Sri Lanka, presenting preliminary results of an ongoing action research project involving pilot studies of technology stewardship with partner organizations. The chapter outlines plans for a Joint Education and Training Initiative for technology stewardship that includes community engagement, rapid prototyping, evaluation and impact assessment, which was launched in September 2016.
