La riqueza y la desigualdad continúan aumentando en todo el mundo, y aunque la última representa un desafío muy serio, la primera ofrece oportunidades para atender disparidades sociales y económicas que merecen ser analizadas. El sector filantrópico, como cualquier otro, muestra limitaciones y problemas, pero también ha brindado resultados e impactos significativos en áreas tan relevantes como educación, salud, pobreza, agricultura y ambiente, por citar algunos.
Las empresas de familia contribuyen en alto grado a generar riqueza y empleo en la economía, así como al crecimiento económico mundial.

En este artículo si demuenstra la experiencia Campagna Amica es relevante desde varios puntos de vista: por su amplia dimensión territorial, por el número de agricultores implicados, por el protagonismo de un importante sindicato agrario (Coldiretti), y porque pone de manifiesto los cambios que afectan a las políticas agrícolas europeas.
Este artículo tiene por propósito comparar las redes de compras públicas para la agricultura campesina y familiar en los programas de alimentación escolar de los municipios de Granada (Antioquia-Colombia) y São Lourenço do Sul (Rio Grande do Sul-Brasil) en los años de 2016 y 2017. Para tal fin, se construyó un abordaje teórico-metodológico desde la perspectiva de las redes de política pública, articulado a dos metodologías, el Análisis de Redes Sociales y la comparación de Sistemas de Máxima Diferencia.
This editorial paper brings together different streams of research providing novel perspectives on co-design and co-innovation in agriculture, including methods, tools and organizations.
Communities of Practice (CoPs) are a promising concept for transdisciplinary knowledge co-creation in sustainable agricultural development, but empirical evidence from the farmers’ viewpoint is scarce. This paper contributes to empirical insights on the knowledge creation in CoPs as valued by farmers. Using concepts from CoP theory (domain, community, and practice) and the value creation framework (VCF) developed by Wenger et al. (Promoting and assessing value creation in communities and networks: a conceptual framework.
Innovation intermediaries are individuals and organisations that enhance connectivity amongst constituencies of national, sectoral, and regional systems of innovation, thereby facilitating knowledge spillover. This paper articulates the whole picture of Indonesia's agricultural innovation system, with a special focus on how different innovation intermediaries play different roles in technology transfer and knowledge dissemination.
The usual linear top-down approach of the innovation process has been transformed into an 'ecological vision' in which regions make up the appropriate scale for the elaboration of agricultural innovation systems (AIS). Interfaces such as institutional arrangements have been created in industrial countries. However, there is still a lack of interaction among parties involved in innovation for the agricultural sector, especially in the outermost regions and in developing countries.
Agricultural Innovation Systems (AIS) approach, arise as tool for better understanding dynamics and complexity of agricultural innovation. The objective of this article is present a framework for AIS capability development, taking as a scientific reference, emerging economy countries experiences. A multi-dimensional methodology of literature review and content analysis is implemented, supported in bibliometric and data mining techniques.
