| Innovation Title | Generic algorithm for multicriteria ranking of crop technological options based on the “Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution” using ShinyApps |
| Innovation description | The innovation refers to a generic interface which is particularly used for ranking or selecting one or more options (or alternatives) from among a finite number, with respect to multiple criteria. The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) was configurated using R software, and linked to a user friendly interface (developed sing ShinyApps) to generate and visualize ranking of finite number of investment options in food security in SSA. |
