Abstract

: Precision technologies and smart farming practices are spreading globally. However, there are still limited insights into how these technologies develop in newly adopted countries and adapt to different local systems, especially in emergent economies. This article aims to diagnose the technological innovation system of precision technologies within Chile’s dairy sector, focusing on the possibilities of development and co-evo-lution. A structural-functional innovation system analysis is performed, based upon 41 semi-structured interviews. The main results indicate that precision technologies are in the implementation phase in the Chilean dairy sector, with scarce experience and undeveloped knowledge of their benefits. Moreover, there are insufficient interactions between different actors with limited information sharing due to the lack of trust as a cultural issue, affecting the development of smart farming practices. Some strategies to develop and co-evolve the technological systems are discussed, as is the need to increase trust and cooperation between the actors of the dairy sector.

揭秘智利乳品行业适应的精密技术。结构-功能创新系统分析

精准技术和智能农业实践正在全球推广。然而，对于这些技术如何在新采用的国家发展并适应不同的当地系统，特别是在新兴经济体中，我们的见解仍然有限。本文旨在诊断智利乳制品行业内精密技术的技术创新系统，重点关注发展和共同进化的可能性。基于41个半结构化访谈，进行了结构-功能创新系统分析。主要结果表明，精密技术在智利乳制品行业正处于实施阶段，缺乏经验，对其好处的认识也不充分。此外，作为一种文化问题，由于缺乏信任，不同行为者之间的互动不足，信息共享有限，影响了智慧农业实践的发展。讨论了发展和共同发展技术系统的一些战略，以及增加乳制品部门参与者之间的信任和合作的必要性。
