This paper aims to analyze the innovative effort of the agri-food system (AFS) in the Valencian Autonomous Community (VC), Spain, estimating the intensity of innovation in each subsector of the AFS. The analysis distinguishes between the direct and indirect (or induced) innovation intensities incorporated by the acquisition of inputs from other subsectors produced in the VC or in the rest of Spain. The methodology employed is based on the inputoutput framework combined with data of technological innovation in enterprises.
El presente artículo es el resultado de una investigación que se realizó en el año 2019 con 24 actores del sector público, sector científico tecnológico y sector productivo que han participado del Sistema Nicaragüense de Investigación e Innovación Agropecuaria SNIA a partir de su instalación en el año 2015 sobre las percepción actual con relación a lo actuado y estado del conocimiento durante el período 2015 – 2018 y las principales valoraciones, expectativas, perspectivas y prioridades del mismo, para el período 2019 – 2021.
Evaluation provides effective feedback for development plans and programs. In this respect, it is of utmost importance to ensure that the outputs of agricultural extension and education projects are compatible with the ones expected. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to evaluate agricultural extension model sites approach from actors’ perspectives and to analyze their gaps via the context, input, process, and product (CIPP) evaluation model.

Ce rapport final dresse le bilan des activités scientifiques engagées dans le cadre du projet Adap’Terr « L’adaptation au changement climatique : les défis d’une approche intégrée pour les territoires ? ». Ce volume de synthèse, présentant les principaux résultats, s’organise en trois parties. Une première partie précise certaines questions que posent pour l’aménagement et l’urbanisme l’action climatique locale, afin de développer un cadre conceptuel en mesure d’analyser les initiatives locales face au « problème climat ».
Este estudio analizó la evolución de una red de innovación entre productores de hule natural durante tres periodos de observación (dos olas o tres años), y evaluó cómo los productores reaccionan a diferentes innovaciones en un momento dado. Las prácticas de innovación fueron agrupadas en tres actividades: control de plagas y enfermedades, establecimiento y manejo de plantaciones, y manejo de cosecha y poscosecha.
This Economic and Sector Work paper, “Enhancing Agricultural Innovation: How to Go Beyond the Strengthening of Research Systems,” was initiated as a result of the international workshop, “Development of Research Systems to Support the Changing Agricultural Sector,” organized by the Agriculture and Rural Development Department of the World Bank in June 2004 in Washington, DC.
Given the diversity and context-specificity of innovation systems approaches, in March 2007 the World Bank organized a workshop in which about 80 experts (representing donor agencies, development and related agencies, academia, and the World Bank) took stock of recent experiences with innovation systems in agriculture and reconsidered strategies for their future development. This paper summarizes the workshop findings and uses them to develop and discuss key issues in applying the innovation systems concept. The workshop’s recommendations, including next steps for the wider
