Du fait de leur transversalité et de leur objet, l'évaluation des politiques de développement territorial ne peut pas s'appuyer sur les outils utilisés pour évaluer les politiques sectorielles. Les questions procédurales sont très largement dominantes, les dispositifs portant essentiellement sur la gouvernance et la coordination. Pour évaluer une démarche procédurale, il convient de préciser le référentiel d’évaluation à la fois en termes du quoi et du comment évaluer.

A partir de experiencias de investigación-transformación en sistemas agrícolas en Cuba, el trabajo examina áreas relevantes en una concepción de desarrollo rural sustentable, como el fortalecimiento y la diversificación de los sistemas agropecuarios y las economías locales, la articulación de actores y participación en los procesos de desarrollo, que evidencian el movimiento desde un enfoque eminentemente tecnológico hacia una propuesta más social e integradora
Participation is connected to technology through the notion of innovation systems. To make the connection work, it is argued, the focus has to shift from a framing of participation in terms of democratic entitlement to a framing in terms of the settlement of issues (i.e. politics from below), The innovation system is an appropriate notion to see where issues are likely to lock on to processes of technological change.

Determinants of innovation are not viewed individually but within the context of a complex agricultural innovation system involving many actors and interactions.
