Opportunities, practices of Scaling out student’s ideas and community engagement for agribusiness innovations

Abstract: 
The approach of scaling out students’ technologies in the near future will depend on model of training and placement needs of students for internship programs. Nevertheless, forming incubation centers and encouraging research is a critical approach in fitting these innovations in building farmer capacity, and strenthening university outreach potential for research and students idea growth. The internship placement currently is an ongoing concern for every University program across Africa and Uganda in particular. Through this, there are many opportunities as prototype ideas, and technologies that can be developed and scaled out by students to meet local and regional market demands. However, there is limited capacity and funding to facilitate the scaling out.
