Este es uno proyecto de investigación de visión prospectiva para influir en la concientización de los tomadores de decisión en la visión estratégica de la investigación de los sectores público y privado para el fortalecimiento de sus acciones en materia de agregación de valor a los productos vegetales y animales del sector agropecuario y forestal, utilizando para la valoración, el juicio de 58 expertos (método Delphi) de distintas instituciones dedicadas a la investigación agropecuaria y forestal, mediante la respuesta de un cuestionario estructurado, la medida estadística utilizada fue la
This scoping review synthesizes the literature on government agricultural policy and production in order to 1) present a typology of policies used to influence agricultural production, 2) to provide a preliminary overview of the ways that impact is assessed in this literature, and 3) to bring this literature into conversation with the literature on food and tobacco supply.
The impulse towards a larger introduction of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the agricultural field is currently experiencing its momentum, as digitisation has large potentialities to provide benefits for both producers and consumers; on the other hand, pushing technological solutions into a rural context encounters several challenges.
China has put in place a series of policies to support private companies to engage in biotechnology research. This study uses data from a survey of 103 major agribusiness firms in the agricultural chemical and seed industries in China to evaluate the impact of government policies on private R&D investment in biotechnology. The results show that firms with positive profit expectation, public R&D subsidies, R&D collaboration with universities/research institutes or state-owned enterprises are more likely to embark on biotechnology research activities.
El establecimiento de prioridades de investigación e innovación es una preocupación permanente en la gobernanza de la ciencia y la tecnología, debido a que permea la definición de los objetos de estudio, la asignación de recursos por parte del Estado y la apropiación social de los resultados. Este artículo analiza las Agendas Estatales de Innovación en México, un programa impulsado por el gobierno mexicano para definir prioridades de innovación en la escala estatal.
Connecting science with policy has always been challenging for both scientists and policy makers. In Ghana, Mali and Senegal, multi-stakeholder national science-policy dialogue platforms on climate-smart agriculture (CSA) were setup to use scientificevidence to create awareness of climate change impacts on agriculture andadvocate for the mainstreaming of climate change and CSA into agriculturaldevelopment plans.
Innovation policies are considered the long-term strategy to overcome the present systemic crisis. But this crisis is questioning such policies, their presuppositions and institutional arrangements. This questioning includes the Triple Helix theory and its impact on research and innovation policies. The goal is to examine how this theory can respond to theoretical and practical challenges, how the theory needs to evolve in order to fit the present context.
In this paper it is reviewed the literature on how transitions to sustainable food systems may play out and present a framework based on the Multi-Level Perspective on Socio-Technical Transitions, which builds upon conceptual developments from social and natural science disciplines.
This paper seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the complex dynamics that shape the contribution of research to policy and innovation processes that address ‘competing claims’ on natural resources and their management.
Confrontés aux évolutions des enjeux et modèles de développement touchant les secteurs de l’agriculture et de l’alimentation, les organismes de recherche interrogent les méthodes d’évaluation des impacts liées aux activités de recherche. En effet les cadres méthodologiques conventionnels utilisés depuis les années 1950 ne répondent plus aux attentes sociétales et aux réalités de l’activité de recherche dans ce domaine.
