Stage of Development, Technology readiness levels (TRL)

Technological revolutions require time, investments, training and analysis to be reliable, profitable and wide spread effective. For science, modelling knowledge requires years. After the first enthusiastic but critical step of research discovery, deployment requires time and skills: be ready to get your hands dirty, literally. And even more if we are in a chaotic development of a universe of technologies to be set in order. Each technology has to be assessed in the TRL technological readiness level. Researchers and providers have to respect their own rule in the technology development. Moreover, technology must to be assessed for the benefit of the technical capacity absorbable by the farm system and the Business model of the farm enterprise.
