Opening design and innovation processes in agriculture: Insights from design and management sciences and future directions

Elsa Berthet, Gordon M. Hickey, Laurens Klerkx · 2018 · Agricultural Systems

Summary. Agricultural innovation requires more open, participatory design processes that move beyond traditional approaches. This paper synthesizes research on co-design and co-innovation in agriculture, drawing insights from management and design sciences. It identifies three priorities: expanding design tools to engage multiple senses, opening innovation networks to support sustainability transitions while addressing power dynamics, and including non-human actors like materials and ecosystems in innovation processes.
