The origins and implications of using innovation systems perspectives in the design and implementation of agricultural research projects: Some personal observations
In recent years the there has been an increasing recognition of the
potential of the innovation systems concept to provide new ways of
making more effective use of agricultural research and improve its
impact on socially desirable outcomes. This paper documents the
experiences of a group of researchers in India who experimented with
this framework and tried to operationalise its principles in project
design. The paper comments on some of the implications of using this
approach and the challenges it presents for implementers of agricultural
research projects in developing countries.
