Constant, massive testing is required
Can science be accelerated?
Citizen science (also known as crowd science, crowdsourcedscience, civic science or networked science) is scientific research conducted, in whole or in part, by amateur or nonprofessional scientists.
Wikipedia
Crowdsourcing is the process of obtaining needed services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people, and especially from an online community, rather than from traditional employees or suppliers.

Yield of 31 varieties of rice (orange) and 5 locally grown varieties (blue) (q/ha)
1. Local learning fostered, accelerated
2. Reliable, generalizable results
1. Reduced costs comparing to otherparticipatory approaches
2. Simple field experiments makeupscaling possible
