This second book of stories of change from DeSIRA projects illustrates stories of innovation, with a view to narrate the contributions of the DeSIRA initiative to AFS transformation, and how DeSIRA projects created or reinforced changes that produced initial outcomes and thus built conditions for impact at scale with:

• a focus on the nature and the transformative potential of changes provoked and the gaps filled by DeSIRA projects within agricultural innovation systems through the novelties that they brought;

• a critical reflection on how, and by whom, the innovations were selected and bundled for addressing sustainability challenges, who ends up owning these innovations and who can help scaling them.

The collection of stories in this book will walk the reader through these enabling conditions and modalities that have helped producing innovations of different natures, often in combination, that call for different scaling approaches and modalities. The stories show how project teams have forged networks of collaboration with diverse actors and have woven outcome trajectories over longer periods than project duration in order to ensure continuity in the changes they have triggered.
