In this context\, scaling—where innovations are adapted\, embedded\, and expanded within societal dynamics—plays a crucial role in agricultural research for development (AR4D). This webinar will explore findings from a systematic literature review on scaling in AR4D\, with a particular focus on the role of social capital in this process. \nThe study identifies four key knowledge clusters shaping the field of scaling: the innovation and adoption of agricultural technology\, the economics of technology adoption\, sustainability in agricultural innovations\, and the evolution of scaling as a distinct research domain. Disciplines such as sustainable agriculture\, systemic thinking\, technological transitions\, and technology adoption have significantly contributed to this development. However\, while relationships\, trust\, and reciprocity are fundamental to successful scaling\, social capital remains underexplored in this literature. \nThe webinar will discuss the growing multidisciplinary nature of scaling in AR4D\, the contributions of international research institutions\, and the importance of locally rooted\, participatory approaches. It will also highlight future research directions\, emphasizing how fostering social capital can support more intentional and responsible scaling of agricultural innovations. Attendees will gain insights into how strengthening social networks and trust-based collaboration can enhance the impact and sustainability of agricultural advancements worldwide. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nDeissy Martínez Barón is a climate action and agrifood systems expert with over 15 years of research experience\, specializing in climate-smart agriculture\, rural development\, and social capital in scaling innovations. She leads Climate Action research for Latin America at the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT\, overseeing multi-country initiatives for sustainable food systems. Her PhD research in Geography from the University of Copenhagen explored how social capital enables the scaling of climate-smart agriculture in the context of agricultural research for development (AR4D). Her work bridges science and policy to enhance climate resilience\, sustainable finance\, and evidence-based solutions. Deissy collaborates with governments\, private sector stakeholders\, and international organizations to drive inclusive\, scalable strategies for agricultural adaptation and sustainability. Her leadership has contributed to strengthening resilience in agrifood systems across Latin America\, ensuring impactful\, science-driven interventions that address climate challenges at multiple levels. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

While social contacts are often crucial for accessing resources\, they can also impose obligations on individuals to support others within their networks. These demands\, termed “negative social capital” following Portes’ seminal work (1995)\, can represent a significant burden for individuals. Drawing on findings from a survey of small business owners in Uganda\, the presentation identifies the types of networks most likely to generate negative social capital and examines their intersection with issues of gender and internal migration. This study represents one of the first attempts to operationalise the concept of negative social capital by examining requests for resources. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nGiacomo Solano is Assistant Professor in Migrant Inclusion at the Nijmegen School of Management\, Department of Economics and Business Economics.

You can connect with people\, ask questions\, get advice\, and discuss ideas or issues. \nWho is this for? \nAlthough this workshop is focused on PhD students\, we welcome anyone conducting research on social capital. \nWho will run the workshop? \nBeverly Sloan has a PhD in Organisational Leadership from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. She is a veteran of the United States Air Force with more than 32 years of service. Her leisure activity includes mentoring masters and doctoral candidates on research practices. \nHow will the session work? \nIn these sessions\, we aim to discuss the research process. This includes defining research; discussing research significance\, problems\, and purposes; examining your worldview and philosophical stance; developing research questions\, sub-questions\, and hypotheses; and your theoretical or conceptual framework. We will discuss the initial literature review and its purpose in helping you build your initial central research question. We will use the initial research question to guide the preliminary literature review. During the preliminary literature review\, we will consider defining your key concepts and how they will drive your overall literature review. As we discuss the literature review\, the goal is to refine the research question\, identify gaps in the literature\, and focus the literature review on the central aspects of your research question. This should also help us develop a good outline for our literature review and identify variables or sub-research questions. Once we understand how the literature review shapes our study\, we will move on to research methods and design or our roadmap for collecting data. Then we will move on to data analysis and conclude by combining all the pieces. This will not be a linear process\, but it will be a process. \nAccess requirements \nWe seek to make our events accessible\, and this is no exception. If there is something that will help you to engage more effectively in this session\, please email us on: events@intsocialcapital.org. Sometimes\, it’s the small things that make a big difference\, so do email us if you have an access request. We recognise that not all participants are able to attend all sessions for the full duration. You are free to join us and leave at any time during the session. We request that you have your name on Zoom (this can be just a first name) to make it easier for us to facilitate the session and address participants correctly.
