Abstract

The generation of wealth, sustained by productive activities of agro-industries, leads to the production of wastes and uses natural resources, interfering in the environmental pillar of sustainability. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether cassava processing companies generate eco-innovations by means of technological cooperation, and the degree of participation of agents in these interactions. The quantitative method used the structural equation modeling for data analyses. The results indicated a relationship between technological cooperation and the generation of eco-innovation. The model developed showed the significance between variables and exposed the main aspects that generate eco-innovation from technological cooperation. A cooperation process allows a reduction in the burning of fossil fuels, reducing the emission of methane gas, which aggravates the greenhouse effect, also reducing odor, and ultimately, providing financial gains to agribusiness.

木薯加工企业的生态创新与技术合作:结构方程模型

由农业工业的生产活动维持的财富的产生导致产生废物和使用自然资源，从而干扰可持续性的环境支柱。本研究的目的是探讨木薯加工企业是否透过技术合作的方式产生生态创新，以及代理人在这些互动中的参与程度。定量方法采用结构方程模型对数据进行分析。研究结果表明，技术合作与生态创新的产生存在一定的关系。该模型显示了变量间的显著性，揭示了技术合作产生生态创新的主要方面。合作过程可以减少化石燃料的燃烧，减少加剧温室效应的甲烷气体的排放，也可以减少气味，最终为农业综合企业提供经济收益。
