| | Using the case study of Rhizobium inocula project in Kenya, this paper argues that the main
challenge to enhancing smallholder access to biotechnology lies in addressing the sources of
institutional constraints in agricultural innovation processes. These constraints include sunk
costs, uncertainty and political influence. How are mechanisms such as reducing uncertainty,
building trust, and creating incentives at both national and local levels likely to improve
smallholder access to Rhizobium inocula and transgenic crops in Kenya?
