Innovation is often presented as one of the main catalysts for more
sustainable and inclusive development. In the agricultural and food sectors,
innovation is characterized not only by specificities arising from its
relationship to nature, but also from the wide diversity of its stakeholders,
ranging from farmers to consumers, and including intermediaries such as the
research community and advisory services. Innovation emerges from interactions
between these actors, who mobilize resources and produce knowledge in
collaborative mechanisms in orderto generate changes. It encompasses domains
as varied as production practices, market organization, and eating habits.
Innovation is closely tied to major development challenges in its various
forms: agroecological innovation, social innovation, territorial innovation,
etc.

This book casts a look atinnovation in agricultural and food systems. It
focuses in particular on supporting innovation, by examining methods and
organizations, and on evaluating innovation using different yardsticks. The
book is based on reflections and research originating from various scientific
disciplines, on fieldwork carried out both in France and in many countries of
the Global South, and finally on the experiences gained by accompanying and
supporting innovative actors. It combines theoretical contributions on
innovation with iconic case studies to illustrate its observations and
discussions.

This book is intended for teachers, professionals, students, and researchers.
