This report reviews recent trends in agricultural innovation systems (AIS) and discusses
the impact of a wide range of policies on the creation and diffusion of innovation
in the agricultural and agrifood sector. It suggests a framework for analysing the
role of governments in fostering increased innovation, with a view to helping to identify
practical actions that governments could take to improve productivity growth, sustainable
use of resources, and resilience to future market developments in national and global
agriculture and agri-food systems.
