• Functions and limitations of farmer cooperatives as innovation intermediaries: Findings from China (2014, background): “Knowledge intermediation relates to some functions of classical extension services, but also includes broader functions beyond technology dissemination (Rivera and Sulaiman, 2009), since knowledge is considered to be contextual and co-constructed by stakeholders rather than a fixed ‘product’ transfe”
• Systems approaches to innovation in crop protection. A systematic literature review (2014, background): “However, the conventional roles and mandates of extension personnel as facilitators of knowledge and technology transfer are challenged, and more attention for institutional innovations, such as the structural collaboration between public and private actors, is advocated (see also Agwu et al., 2008;”
• Strengthening Agricultural Innovation Capacity: Are Innovation Brokers the Answer?

• The private sector's role in agricultural extension systems: potential and limitations (2011, background): “Scholars nowadays tend to view extension more broadly, for example, as: “comprising public, private and semi-public ‘systems' that make up a multi-institutional, multisectoral ‘pluralistic' system” ( Rivera and Sulaiman, 2009, p. 267”
