Title Innovations in innovation: reflections on partnership, institutions and learning
 
Subject Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics
 
Description This book explores the nature of innovation processes associated with socio-economic
change in rural areas of developing countries. It brings together a collection of empirical
and conceptual papers that discuss contemporary experiences and perspectives. Common
to all of them is the use of the innovation systems concept as a guiding framework for
analysis. Most of the papers use this framework to provide lessons for the agricultural
research community, and in particular lessons on ways of more effectively deploying
agricultural science and technology as part of the socio-economic development process.
Three main themes emerge. Firstly, partnership is a core methodology for promoting
innovation and ways of developing effective partnerships should be a central concern of
research managers and planners. Secondly, research and related interventions need to be
understood, planned, implemented, and evaluated cognizant of their institutional contexts.
Practical tools to assist this need to be further developed and promoted. And thirdly,
learning, and particularly institutional learning, is a central innovation process and finding
ways to enhance learning will be critical in building more effective agricultural innovation
capacities.
