Estrategias de articulación para el sistema nacional de innovación agropecuaria enmarcadas en el contexto del norte del Valle del Cauca

Abstract

There are many studies related to agricultural innovation systems; however, despite advances in the literature, the articulation of these in regional contexts has not been able to have the expected impact. For this reason, the object of this work is to propose strategies that articulate the National System of Agricultural Innovation to the context of the North of Valle del Cauca. The research is approached through a review of the existing literature and the investigation to experts about the systems of agricultural innovation in which the key elements that benefit the dynamism of these are established. The analysis and understanding of these findings allowed the design of articulation strategies in what the author considers to be the fundamental pillars of agricultural innovation systems worldwide. These include intermediaries, platforms, value chains and standards. These pillars together with an adequate strategy allow the development of a proposal for the articulation of the National System of Agricultural Innovation for the case of Colombia in the context of the North of Valle del Cauca.
