Advances in Knowledge Brokering in the Agricultural Sector: Towards Innovation System Facilitation

Laurens Klerkx, Marc Schut, Cees Leeuwis, Catherine Kilelu · 2012 · IDS Bulletin

Summary. Agricultural extension has evolved from pushing research findings to farmers toward collaborative models that recognize innovation emerges from interactions among multiple actors. Knowledge brokers now facilitate systemic change by building linkages and creating enabling contexts for technical, social, and institutional innovation. This innovation systems approach applies beyond agriculture to other sectors, requiring knowledge brokers to move beyond research uptake to broader innovation facilitation activities.
