Sistema de innovación agrícola paises SICA y hoja de ruta para su fortalecimiento

Agriculture is a key driver of economic and social development in the SICA region; however, it faces challenges to be addressed, the objective of the research was to analyze agricultural innovation and propose a roadmap for its strengthening. Agricultural innovation in the region has been fragmented, with limited actor involvement and insufficient investment. Collaborative projects often fail to sustain their achievements. The low performance of innovation affects a partial adoption of technologies, affecting productivity, climate adaptation and competitiveness. The roadmap begins with the innovation policy, regional spaces, regional innovation fund, capacity building plan, digitalization, results-based management and learning processes and the strengthening of the regional instances of SICA. The results obtained will help SICA improve technological innovation.
