Abstract

ABSTRACT Innovation and technology are a feature of New Zealand’s dairy sector. To overcome current challenges, dairy farmers require agile and multi-dimensional innovation, supported by forward-looking and integrated policy from both the sector and government. In this paper, we outline some of the current dairy sector challenges, and potential technologies to address these challenges. We focus on the future for digital agriculture innovation and discuss policy approaches to enable the sector to leverage digitalisation. These approaches include co-innovation, responsible innovation, multi-scale approaches, micro-innovation and poly-innovation and mission-oriented innovation. Digital agriculture and policy may interact in two ways: (1) policy may be used to enhance digital agriculture innovation and, (2) digitalisation itself may act to enhance agricultural policy design and delivery. Overall, innovation policy requires greater directionality, use of policy bundles and a focus on technology as a mediator of new dairy farming practices and institutional configurations.

加强乳制品行业创新的政策方法——有效实施数字农业的未来途径和政策综述

创新和技术是新西兰乳制品行业的一大特色。为了克服当前的挑战，奶农需要灵活和多维度的创新，并得到行业和政府前瞻性和综合政策的支持。在本文中，我们概述了当前乳制品行业面临的一些挑战，以及解决这些挑战的潜在技术。我们关注数字农业创新的未来，并讨论使该部门能够利用数字化的政策方法。这些创新途径包括共同创新、责任创新、多尺度创新、微创新和多元创新以及使命导向创新。数字农业和政策可以通过两种方式相互作用:(1)政策可以用来加强数字农业创新;(2)数字化本身可以用来加强农业政策的设计和实施。总体而言，创新政策需要更大的方向性，使用政策包，并注重技术作为新的奶牛养殖实践和制度配置的中介。
