Abstract

Background. Innovation platforms (IP) are a set-up where a group of stakeholders that are somewhat interdependent are identified and invited to get together and interact in a forum for social learning. However, Sub-Saharan African researchers have recently paid very little attention to its participation. Objective. To investigate the determinants of participation in IPs and its sustainability. The study specifically outlines the socioeconomic characteristics of the farmers and identifies variables influencing farmers' participation in IPs and the sustainability of such IPs. Methodology. The study used a multistage sampling technique to collect its data. The data were analyzed using the Double hurdle count model. Results. The results of the first hurdle indicate that the decision to participate in IPs is significantly influenced by factors such as gender, age, household size, years of farming experience, number of female working-class members, young dependents, aged dependents, access to agricultural extension, and asset ownership. While the findings of the second hurdle model reveal that gender, age, marital status, years of schooling, the number of female members of the working class, the number of young dependents, the number of aged dependents, access to extension services, and asset ownership play a significant role in determining the sustainability of participation in IPs. Implications. The paper adds evidence for a better understanding of the determinants of participation in IPs and its sustainability. Conclusions. Based on these findings, it is recommended that institutional structures and programs that enhance farmers' education, the frequency of extension contacts, and farm income be implemented to sustain participation in IPs.

Abstract

Son múltiples los estudios relacionados con los sistemas de innovación agropecuaria; sin embargo, a pesar de los avances en la literatura, la articulación de estos en los contextos regionales no ha logrado repercutir de la manera esperada. Por este motivo el objeto del presente trabajo es proponer estrategias que articulen el Sistema Nacional de Innovación Agropecuario al contexto del Norte del Valle del Cauca. La investigación se aborda a través de una revisión de la literatura existente y la indagación a expertos acerca de los sistemas de innovación agropecuaria en la que se establecen los elementos clave que benefician el dinamismo de estos. El análisis y la comprensión de estos hallazgos permitió el diseño de unas estrategias de articulación en lo que el autor considera son los pilares fundamentales de los sistemas de innovación agropecuaria a nivel mundial. En concreto se encuentran, los intermediarios, las plataformas, las cadenas de valor y la normatividad. Estos pilares en conjunto con una adecuada estrategia permiten desarrollar una propuesta para la articulación del Sistema Nacional de Innovación Agropecuaria para el caso de Colombia en el contexto del Norte del Valle del Cauca., There are many studies related to agricultural innovation systems; however, despite advances in the literature, the articulation of these in regional contexts has not been able to have the expected impact. For this reason, the object of this work is to propose strategies that articulate the National System of Agricultural Innovation to the context of the North of Valle del Cauca. The research is approached through a review of the existing literature and the investigation to experts about the systems of agricultural innovation in which the key elements that benefit the dynamism of these are established. The analysis and understanding of these findings allowed the design of articulation strategies in what the author considers to be the fundamental pillars of agricultural innovation systems worldwide. These include intermediaries, platforms, value chains and standards. These pillars together with an adequate strategy allow the development of a proposal for the articulation of the National System of Agricultural Innovation for the case of Colombia in the context of the North of Valle del Cauca.
