La gestión de la I+D+i agroalimentaria : un modelo basado en el aprendizaje social

The author has introduced outstanding innovations into the R&D+I management of the Spanish Agri-Food System. Though it is the most difficult sector in the Spanish economy to promote its involvement in research and innovation activities, i.e. because of having the lowest investing activity on the area, its atomisation, the use of ‘low-tech’ technologies and presence of dozens of public technological centres and research organisms; the work carried out confirms that enterprises prospered since they are based on the Social Learning Model, framed in the Evolution Planning Theory developed by Prof. Friedmann. The work includes a review of the academic doctrine on the economical effects of research and technology; an analysis of the Agri-Food R&D+I systems in USA, Holland, France and Spain. Moreover, it is concluded the presence of strong causes concerning the clear inefficiency of the work on this issue in Spain that, according to the author, suggests the presence of ‘erroneous technological routes’, as well as low developed social behaviours, which handicaps our development.
