Summary
This 2016 policy report, as suggested by its title and source, analyses the demographic profile of innovators in the United States and explores how innovation is distributed across different population groups and regions. The work appears to examine whether innovation participation reflects broader demographic diversity or remains concentrated among particular demographic cohorts. Whilst the title does not explicitly address agricultural innovation, the paper may discuss innovation trends across multiple sectors including food and agriculture.
UK applicability
The findings on United States innovation demographics and patterns may offer comparative context for UK innovation policy, but direct applicability would depend on the extent to which the study addresses sector-specific innovation (including agriculture) and whether demographic barriers to innovation are similar between the two economies.
Key measures
Demographic composition of innovators (age, education, gender, geography); innovation rates by demographic group; sectoral and geographic variation in innovation activity
Outcomes reported
The study examined demographic characteristics of innovators and innovation adoption patterns across the United States economy. It likely reported distributions of innovators by age, education, geography, and sector, and trends in innovation participation over time.
