Territorial governance agreements for agri-food system’s innovation. An approach from “Amaranth” in Mexico CityJuly 30th, 2021
Collaborative process among stakeholders, through governance agree- ments, may foster innovation in a territory. These territorial governance agreements (TGAs) could be held between Productive Units (PUs) and stakeholders from scientific-technological (S&T), industrial-productive (P&I) and government-institutional (G&I) structures. Considering this, the main objective of this paper is to analyze the effects of the TGAs on the level of innovation of PUs in the agri-food system of amaranth in Mexico City. To do this, a mixed methodology was used based on case study, semi-structured interviews and a survey applied to each PU’s owners. The information was analyzed using statistical methods and a qualitative analysis was performed considering each PU’s type of inno- vations. It is concluded that if the level of TGAs within stakeholders increase, so does the innovation level in the PUs in the amaranth agri- food system.
