Book Description
In the pest, technology has played a key role in promoting agricultural development and economic growth in latin america and the caribbean. Initially, it made it possible to inorporate new lands into agricultural activities. AS horizontal expansion became more difficult, it foundways to increase production through productivity grouth. Under the national and international conditions now confronting the economies of the importance of technology, fra from being diminished, has increased. In the short term, a growth in productivity will be needed to counterbalance the decline in international prices and maintain the regions competitive advantages in agricutural production.

Science, Technology and Innovation Policies for Development
Author: Gustavo Crespi
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3319041088
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
This book examines the implementation of science, technology and innovation (STI) policy in eight Latin American countries and the different paths these policies have taken. It provides empirical evidence to examine the extent to which STI policies are contributing to the development of the region, as well as to the solution of market failures and the stimulus of the region’s innovation systems. Since the pioneering work of Solow (1957), it has been recognized that innovation is critical for economic growth both in developed and in less-developed countries. Unfortunately Latin America lags behind world trends, and although over the last 20 years the region has established a more stable and certain macroeconomic regime, it is also clear that these changes have not been enough to trigger a process of innovation and productivity to catch-up. Against this rather grim scenario there is some optimism emerging throughout the region. After many years of inaction the region has begun to invest in science, technology and engineering once again. Furthermore, after many changes in innovation policy frameworks, there is now an emerging consensus on the need for a solution to coordination failures that hinder the interaction between supply and demand. Offering an informative and analytic insight into STI policymaking within Latin America, this book can be used by students, researchers and practitioners who are interested in the design and implementation of innovation policies. This book also intends to encourage discussion and collaboration amongst current policy makers within the region.

Technological Innovation in Agriculture
Author: Alain De Janvry
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
This paper examines the role of market and nonmarket forces in affecting the rate and bias of technical change in agriculture. It examines the process of generation of innovations and investment in agricultural research and explores, in the context of political economy, the sources of deviation from the equilibrium rate and bias of technical change. It is argued that a theory of the rate and bias of technological innovation must go beyond the analysis of market forces because they explain only a fraction of changes in investment and productivity in agriculture. It is further argued that the roles played by the various actors involved in agricultural research are being redefined as research moves in to the "Post Green Revolution" era. New mechanisms of identification of research priorities, of coordination of research programs, and of participation of social groups affected by research need to be devised to increase efficiency and equity in the research effort.
