Definitions
Agricultural innovation refers to the implementation of new or significantly improved products, processes, marketing, or organizational methods in agriculture. Knowledge transmission, integration, diffusion, and utilization are fundamental in supporting innovation in agriculture. Agricultural innovation is sustainable when it takes into account sustainability considerations (environmental, social, economic) and contributes to food system sustainability and food security. The critical role of innovation to make agriculture both more competitive and more sustainable is widely admitted. Innovations and modern techniques can strengthen food system resilience, improve resource efficiency in agriculture, and secure social equity thus contributing to achieving sustainable food security.
Introduction
Innovation is widely recognized as a critical dimension of sustainable development as well as sustainable consumption and production (European Political Strategy Centre 2016)....
