Abstract

The triple helix model (THM) studies the interactions between academia, industry, and government designed to promote entrepreneurship and innovation in a knowledge-based society. This paper shows how agricultural extension works through the THM for inclusive innovation to evaluate its effects on farmers. For this purpose, we analyze the case of Cultiva UChile, a technology transfer center led by the University of Chile that operated from 2016 to 2020 and that was financed by and in cooperation with public sector organizations. Cultiva UChile offered extension services to vegetable growers from the Chilean Central Valley. As our main sources of information, we used internal reports and surveys of 91 farmers who received Cultiva UChile extension services from 2019–2020. A qualitative study of this organization, the actors involved, and the operation and governance of the center and a quantitative analysis of the center’s direct effects adopting descriptive techniques and binary logistic regression were used. The results show strong interactions between actors as the basis of Cultiva UChile and its positive short-term direct effects regardless of farmers’ paths in terms of innovation, cooperation, and investment. These results lead us to conclude that extension services adopted under the THM can be appropriate means to promote inclusive innovation in agriculture.
创新三螺旋模式下的协同农业推广项目描述与评价
三螺旋模型(THM)研究知识型社会中学术界、产业界和政府之间旨在促进创业和创新的相互作用。本文展示了农业推广如何通过THM进行包容性创新,以评估其对农民的影响。为此,我们分析了智利文化中心的案例,这是一个由智利大学领导的技术转移中心,于2016年至2020年运营,由公共部门组织资助并与之合作。智利栽培公司向智利中央山谷的蔬菜种植者提供推广服务。作为我们的主要信息来源,我们使用了内部报告和对2019-2020年期间接受智利栽培推广服务的91名农民的调查。本文采用描述技术和二元逻辑回归对该组织、参与者、中心的运作和治理进行了定性研究,并对中心的直接影响进行了定量分析。研究结果表明,作为“智利栽培”的基础,参与者之间存在很强的相互作用,无论农民在创新、合作和投资方面采取何种方式,其短期直接效应都是积极的。这些结果使我们得出结论,在THM下采用推广服务可以作为促进农业包容性创新的适当手段。
