摘要

本研究旨在开发和应用快速规模化工具(RST),这是一种旨在促进农业创新负责任地规模化的新型工具。RST将可持续发展目标(SDGs)和针对性农业食品可持续性指标整合到一个综合评估框架中。RST通过文献综述、专家咨询和案例研究迭代开发,从创新发展的早期阶段就依赖利益相关者的合作。它提供了一个三步走的过程,以确保规模努力与环境、经济和社会可持续性目标保持一致。该框架指导实践者了解扩大农业创新规模的复杂性,并将中间价值链(IVCs)作为案例研究,以确定负责任的扩大规模的指标。IVCs的概念代表了农业食品链中的一种新的组织结构,在短链和长链结构之间提供了一个中间地带。本文详细介绍了RST背后的方法,并通过将其应用于涉及瑞典野生浆果采摘IVC的案例研究,讨论了其对农业食品系统转型的影响。IVC的案例研究说明了RST如何帮助预先识别潜在的负面影响并制定缓解策略,同时为解决早期创新评估中的设计悖论提供了实用的解决方案。基于其灵活、用户友好的设计,这使得RST成为研究人员、政策制定者和从业者的重要工具,旨在为扩大农业食品部门的创新取得有影响力和可持续的成果。

Recognizing complexity in agricultural innovation: Advancing responsible scaling using the Rapid Scaling Tool in Intermediate Value Chains
This study aims to develop and apply the Rapid Scaling Tool (RST), a novel instrument designed to facilitate the responsible scaling of agricultural innovations. The RST integrates the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targeted agri-food sustainability indicators into one comprehensive evaluation framework. Developed iteratively through literature reviews, expert consultations, and case studies, the RST relies on stakeholder collaboration from the early stages of innovation development. It provides a three-step process to ensure that scaling efforts align with environmental, economic, and social sustainability targets. This framework guides practitioners through the complexities of scaling agricultural innovations, and uses Intermediate Value Chains (IVCs)as a case study to identify indicators for responsible scaling. The concept of IVCs represents a novel organizational structure within agri-food chains, offering a middle ground between short and long chain structures. This paper details the methodology behind the RST and discusses its implications for transforming agri-food systems, by applying it to a case study involving a Swedish IVC for wild berry picking. The IVC case study illustrates how the RST can aid in preemptively identifying potential negative impacts and developing mitigation strategies, while offering a practical solution for addressing the design paradox in early-stage innovation assessments. Building on its flexible, user-friendly design, this makes the RST an essential tool for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners aiming to achieve impactful and sustainable outcomes for scaling innovations in the agri-food sector.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Rural Studies publishes research articles relating to such rural issues as society, demography, housing, employment, transport, services, land-use, recreation, agriculture and conservation. The focus is on those areas encompassing extensive land-use, with small-scale and diffuse settlement patterns and communities linked into the surrounding landscape and milieux. Particular emphasis will be given to aspects of planning policy and management. The journal is international and interdisciplinary in scope and content.
