Summary
This paper, authored by researchers at INRAE and Université Paris-Saclay, proposes a structured research agenda for advancing sustainable agrifood systems through coordinated innovation. Rather than a empirical study, it presents a conceptual framework for identifying and prioritising research questions that span agronomic, economic, social and institutional dimensions. The work appears aimed at guiding future research investment and policy in France and beyond, bridging the gap between farm-level practice and systemic food system change.
Regional applicability
Whilst conducted in a French context, the framework for coupled innovation and research prioritisation is likely transferable to United Kingdom agrifood policy and research councils (BBSRC, UKRI). However, institutional structures and policy instruments differ, requiring adaptation to UK devolved agricultural frameworks and current policy priorities such as the Environmental Land Management schemes.
Key measures
Research priorities, innovation coordination mechanisms, sustainability criteria (inferred from title and journal focus)
Outcomes reported
The paper likely proposes a framework or research agenda for coordinating innovation across agrifood systems towards sustainability. It appears to address how coupled innovation—spanning technical, organisational and institutional dimensions—can be designed and prioritised.
