Many M.Sc and Ph.D student theses are being conducted annually in the field of agriculture and horticulture, but nobody uses their scientific findings. How can theses be applied and commercialized?
The only way to commercialize these findings lies in the power of the scientist or student since he formulated and addressed the research problem pertaining to a particular region. The first people to benefit from his findings are the respondents or stakeholders who supported him in data collection. Then if his findings are truly cutting edged solution, other friends of these respondents will see the progress and adapt willingly. The other option is to organize seminars in the regions where these findings will be useful using a case study of the first respondents or adopters as example worth emulating. The other option is to notify his ministry of agriculture through proposal about his findings and the need to commercialized it for the benefit of the masses. The last option is through publication which may not be rather effective since most of the endusers of these findings may not even be able to access libraries and read but may be beneficial to governments of the ministry of agriculture but they also barely search for information or research findings that may help them be effective.
If the Sciences of local Agronomy do not serve to nourish the world, we must know better the history of these grounds and the progresses of the other peoples.
About commerce - it is other type of discipline, not my spécialisation.
