Supporting food systems transformation: The what, why, who, where and how of mission-oriented agricultural innovation systems

Laurens Klerkx, Stephanie Begemann · 2020 · Agricultural Systems

Summary. Agricultural innovation systems need a mission-oriented approach to drive food systems transformation. The authors argue that mission-oriented agricultural innovation systems (MAIS) help explain how innovation develops across different scales to enable transformative change toward goals like agroecology, digital agriculture, and protein transitions. They identify key research needs: mapping missions across countries, understanding governance and networks, and examining whether innovations support necessary exnovation alongside new technologies.
