“…The equipment can be made by local artisans with available materials and skills. The principle behind this improved technology is that after soaking the paddy, it is transferred to the top container and pre-cooked with steam, without the paddy touching the water (Zossou, Van Mele, Vodouhe, & Wanvoeke, 2009). The improved parboiler enhances product-related quality (notably better moisture content, lower rate of cracks, and lower rate of burnt grains) (Houssou & Amonsou, 2004).…”

“…While farms may struggle to build appropriate networks and strategic alliances for pursuing new opportunities, they need to develop appropriate capabilities, learn about and integrate external resources and knowledge to be successful (Grande, 2011). As studies in Cell 2 depict, the individual learning process that results from networking (Chiffoleau, 2005;Oreszczyn et al, 2010) and education (Pyysiainen et al, 2006;Zossou et al 2009) has been identified as an important outcome of engaging in entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector. Seuneke et al (2013) examined entrepreneurial learning within the change processes required to progress from a production-oriented to a diversified farm business, identifying three major areas: re-developing an entrepreneurial identity; crossing the boundaries of agriculture; and 'opening up' the family farm.…”

Recent and rapid vertical integration and rationalization within the agricultural sector provides a dynamic setting for scholars to investigate entrepreneurship theory and practice. We identify three key contextual dimensions of the agricultural sector; identity, family, and institutions, which provide promising opportunities for future research and the potential to contribute to and extend current theoretical and empirical analyses of entrepreneurship research.

“…Moreover, capacity development activities like trainings or experiential learning through onfarm research trials, as well as more formalized collaboration through contractual partnerships or business deals can form the basis for involving previously unconnected actors in innovation processes. Mediated communication such as (local) newspapers, posters, flyers, email, phone, radio, or video can also play its part in reaching out (Chowdhury et al 2015;Sanyang et al 2016;Van Mele 2006;Zossou et al 2009). When looking more closely at the underlying dynamics of facilitating multi-stakeholder innovation and building linkages between different actors at different levels, innovation system scholars have written about individuals who, for example, helped organizations to extend their organizational boundaries (i.e.…”

Innovation platforms (IPs) form a popular vehicle in agricultural research for development (AR4D) to facilitate stakeholder interaction, agenda setting, and collective action toward sustainable agricultural development. In this article, we analyze multilevel stakeholder engagement in fulfilling seven key innovation system functions. Data are gathered from experiences with interlinked community and (sub)national IPs established under a global AR4D program aimed at stimulating sustainable agricultural development in Central Africa. Our findings show that all innovation systems functions required multilevel action, but that fulfillment of specific functions demands for strategic involvement of specific stakeholders at specific levels. We observed that a research-and dissemination-oriented sequence in the functions was prioritized in AR4D IPs and argue that such a sequence may be different in other types of (business) IPs. Our findings provide an incentive to think function oriented about compositional dynamics (stakeholder groups * levels) in innovation processes, rather than striving for equal stakeholder participation.
