Jargon of the week: **Cross-fertilisation**

Submitted by crinadmin on

Have you ever felt confused about why farming terms sprout up in NGO papers?

Cross-fertilisation is generally a method used to improve crops by breeding and selection.

However, the word has been adopted by NGOs as a vague way to describe the successful cooperation between two different groups.

Instead of encouraging cross-fertilisation, try to encourage cooperation or partnership and leave cross-fertilisation in the farmyard.
