• Systems approaches to innovation in crop protection. A systematic literature review (2014, background): “Compared to the other systems-oriented approaches, the agricultural innovations systems (AIS) approach has more attention for the institutional and political dimensions of change processes (Hounkonnou et al., 2012; Leeuwis, 2000).”
• Information networks that generate economic value: a study on clusters of adopters of new or improved technologies and practices among oil palm growers in Mexico. (2015, background): “As literature has indicated sometimes changes that are beyond the farm level, which requires a different type of network (following Garb and Friedlander, 2014; Hounkonnou et al., 2012; Klerkx et al., 2010; Poncet et al., 2010; Thuo et al., 2014), and AIM could do so by connecting homogenous networks”
• INNOVATION PLATFORMS: EXPERIENCES WITH THEIR INSTITUTIONAL EMBEDDING IN AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH FOR DEVELOPMENT (2015, background): “IPs can play a key role in facilitating so-called system innovation in agriculture, which has been found essential to solve the complex agricultural problems (Elzen et al., 2012a; Hounkonnou et al., 2012; Kilelu et al., 2013; Schut et al., 2015a).”
• Sustainable intensification of agricultural systems in the Central African Highlands: The need for institutional innovation (2016, background): “policy, markets, partnerships) change (Hall and Clark, 2010; Hounkonnou et al., 2012; Leeuwis, 2004).”
• RAAIS: Rapid Appraisal of Agricultural Innovation Systems (Part I). A diagnostic tool for integrated analysis of complex problems and innovation capacity (2015, methodology): “The facilitation of the multi-stakeholder workshops ensured that different stakeholder groups could raise and discuss their ideas (Hulsebosch, 2001).”
• Functions and limitations of farmer cooperatives as innovation intermediaries: Findings from China (2014, background): “To enhanceAIS functioning it is important to stimulate the building of linkages betweenheterogeneous actors andmaking their subsequent interactions effective in terms of joint learning, changing practices, and shaping new institutional arrangements (Hounkonnou et al., 2012; van Rijn et al., 2012), a”
• Raising Crop Productivity in Africa through Intensification (2017, background): “The study in West Africa also indicated the need for strengthening innovative systems in enabling institutions in order to boost productivity of smallholder farmers [161].”
• Taking Complexity in Food Systems Seriously: An Interdisciplinary Analysis (2014, background): “Participants may be recruited by a “catalytic” agent or broker, drawing on or strengthening existing networks (Ekboir, 2012; Hounkonnou et al., 2012).”
