Vegetable proteins, a strategic issue (Lauvergeon report)

Plant and plant chemistry proteins are one of the seven 'ambitions for Innovation "identified by Anne Lauvergeon's report revealed.

At the head of a committee named "Innovation 2030" based on the strategy of the nature of these key innovations, called "rupture". The seven "big ambitions" finally adopted by the Commission are: energy storage, recycling of materials, the development of marine resources, vegetable proteins and plant chemistry, individualized medicine, "silver economy" (innovation for longevity), development of massive data (big data).

If you mean innovation in terms of the type of extension services, you may check out work on the 'new extensionist' by G-FRAS, see http://www.g-fras.org/en/gfras/157-the-new-extensionist.html

we also wrote a paper on the emerging role of 'innovation broker', see https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236259278_Advances_in_Knowledge_Brokering_in_the_Agricultural_Sector_Towards_Innovation_System_Facilitation?ev=prf_pub

I don't understand very well what you mean by "strategic innovation in agricultural extension".

However, if you mean innovative approaches used in extension, we are still investigating if there is a new approach. Indeed, the context varies and what is found new somewhere can be among the oldest practices in another area. 

Please, you can find some studies in http://www.meas-extension.org/

I will appreciate if you can share with us your findings in this searching of strategic innovation in agricultural extension.

Hi Jamal

If you are talking about innovative extension approaches in agriculture, then check out the following website. It shows how innovative extension methods were used to scale out forages for livestock production in remote areas of Laos. Lots of videos and resource material that you can access.

Hi Jamal

It can be useful information of INNOVATION MODELS IN THE MEXICAN AGRICULTURAL/FOOD SECTOR

Attached are two papers that provide a way to change the economics of the farmer and processor.  The technology is called Managed Ecosystem Fermentation.  This process converts the waste cellulose into industrial chemicals biologically overnight using a process that has worked for millions of years.

I share the view of Tsafack MATSOP Antoine Sygnola that what is found new somewhere can be among the oldest practices in another area. In my part of the world innovative agricultural extension means adapting e-extension practices to scale up innovations

Thanks for your responses. What I meant was the issue of agriculture innovation system which one dimension is related to strategic innovation. Extension in many developing countries lack the innovation approach and in regard to strategic framework, we should look at innovation. I am directing one of my Student in doing her Phd dissertation about this subject in iran

I work in agricultural extension in Ireland ( specifically in Health and Safety extension). Please find the proceedings of a conference organised by Teagasc on extensionin 2013  at http://www.teagasc.ie/publications/2013/2629/index.asp

It may provide some ideas.

Not sure if I understand the question properly. Training and Visit was once publicized as an innovation in extension, same has been done with respect Farmer Field schools and similar other approaches. The problem, something that worked in a given situation has often been scaled up for wide dissemination without regard to the specific needs and circumstances. Consequently which was once an innovation turned out to be no good for another situation. Detailed objective evaluations of the concepts, processes and impact of innovations should be reviewed before trying to test or adapt any innovation in another situation.

Let me draw the attention to a simple gap in extension theory and application. The issue is the process of learning and adoption- the lag between acquisition of knowledge and final adoption and then continue or discontinue and relearn and readopt  and so on. Understanding this process will help to design targeted extension and make extension more need and demand driven and effective. A paper is attached for ref, others are available in the literature.

Dear Dr. Hosseini

I have some experiences in this case . We can make an appointment for the next week and see each other . I also refer you to  my and Dr. Shahpasand country paper which has presented in one of the recent APO's workshops in The Philippines. I have attached it to your application.
