"Farmers and businesses need to adapt constantly if they are to survive and compete in the rapidly evolving environment\r\nassociated with the contemporary agricultural sector. Rethinking agricultural research as part of a dynamic system of\r\ninnovation could help to design ways of creating and sustaining conditions that will support the process of adaptation\r\nand innovation. This approach involves developing the working styles and practices of individuals and organizations\r\nand the incentives, support structures and policy environments that encourage innovation. Previous efforts to support\r\nagricultural sector innovation largely targeted agricultural policy and research organizations. The systems approach\r\nrecognizes that innovation takes place through the interaction of a broader set of organizations and activities. These\r\npatterns of interaction and working styles and practices – or institutions as they are referred to by social scientists –\r\nneed to adapt continuously if they are to meet the changing demands of the evolving agricultural sector. Institutional\r\nlearning is central to this process and will ensure research organizations remain relevant and continue to introduce\r\ninnovations that impact positively on the livelihoods of the poor."^^ .
