Testing the GLDC Scaling Framework: Design, Performance, and Gaps
This paper presents GLDC's implicit scaling framework and reviews key GLDC scaling projects against it.

Adoption of improved GLDC crop varieties: A synthesis of evidence
1. Systematic review undertaken of improved GLDC crops in target countries. 220 potential studies sceened, with 63 meeting inclusion criteria and reviewed. Initial estimates include: 20,585,825 ha. under improved GLDC crops among 21,926,729 farming households.
