Critical Systems of Learning and Innovation Competence for Addressing Complexity in Transformations to Agricultural Sustainability

Laxmi Prasad Pant · 2013 · Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems

Summary. Technological innovation alone cannot ensure food security in developing countries. This study examines why agricultural biodiversity-rich nations in Nepal and India fail to leverage agroecological advantages despite investing heavily in technology. The research finds that low and middle-income countries need more than technological competence—they require critical systems of learning competence that integrate social, ecological, and technical knowledge to address agricultural sustainability and food security.
