Reframing technical change: Livestock Fodder Scarcity Revisited as Innovation Capacity Scarcity: Part 2. A Framework for Analysis
This is the second in a series of three papers that develop a conceptual
framework for a project on livestock fodder innovation. The paper begins
by reviewing the evolving paradigms of agricultural research and
innovation over the last 30 years or so and explains the emergence and
relevance of the innovation systems concept to agricultural development.
The paper then presents a framework for exploring fodder innovation
capacity. This framework gives particular emphasis to the patterns of
interaction needed for innovation and the policy and institutional
settings needed to enable these processes. The paper concludes with some
comments on the difficulties of measuring institutional change and the
desirability of tracking institutional change and its relationship to
welfare outcomes.
