Co-resourcing and actors’ practices as catalysts for agricultural innovation

摘要: PurposeIn this work, we aim to shed light on how co-resourcing and actors’ practices impact the agricultural innovation process.Design/Methodology/ApproachIn a first step, we conceptualized agricultural innovation as the process during which actors exchange solutions that enable innovation to emerge. To provide these solutions, actors integrate operand and operant resources while simultaneously changing the context within which the innovation process takes place through their practices. By using three case studies, we present how co-resourcing and actors’ practices catalyze agricultural innovation.FindingsActors participate in solution networks having different aims. After setting forth value propositions, they engage in co-resourcing processes, using a wide array of practices (even ‘dark’ ones) to extract value from the innovation.Practical ImplicationsThis study suggests the need for both research and policy …
