4.8 Innovation Systems
Supporting research systems possibly will add to the delivery of new knowledge and technologies.However ,this approach may not essentially advance the capacity for innovation in the agricultural sector as a whole. In recent times the model of an innovation system that takes into consideration holistic planning knowledge production and use, has gained in popularity. It focuses on enabling attitudes, practices, governance, and policies that permit the knowledge to be used for productive purposes. An innovation system can be referred to as system comprising of actors in the agricultural sectors that collectively demand and supply knowledge and technology, and the mechanisms and the rules by which these different agents interact.
