Innovation models in the mexican agricultural/food sector
Abstract
The increasing loss of competitiveness in the Mexican agricultural/
food sector, the deterioration of natural resources and the
persistence of poverty in the rural environment, can hardly be
overcome if the linear innovation model, which has dominated
the development approach adopted in the agricultural/food sphere,
is not changed. Based on various case studies, the need to go
beyond the vertical character of this model is argued, and to
recognize that innovation is a social process in which multiple
actors or nodes, each with different resources, capacities and
abilities, interact and co-develop new knowledge with great
potential to generate changes that create wealth. The real challenge
is in valuing the power of networks as an innovation mechanism.
