“…On the other hand, cooperatives generally have a social commitment to contribute to local social and economic development but are less likely to have strong ties to universities, at least for now. Brundenius (2017a) suggests that social enterprises and other non-profit organizations from the third sector play a crucial role in the learning process within an NIS. They have the ability to provide solutions where non-profit and public sectors may fall short.…”

The purpose of this paper is to spatially and regionally examine academic engagement within Brazil, identifying patterns. Moreover, our investigation can contribute to a better understanding of how knowledge can be turned into a tool to fight regional inequality. We depart from two hypotheses: first, universities situated in peripheral regions interact more with companies from relatively more dynamic regions, and second, in the absence of industrial knowledge demand, universities tend to collaborate more closely with a diverse range of stakeholders in the region. To evaluate these hypotheses and find empirical evidence, we consider 4497 research groups and 4603 nonacademic organizations as “nodes” connected by 8830 collaborations throughout all Brazilian regions. Social network tools are used to illustrate the spatial and regional dimensions of academic engagement more accurately. The results show that academic engagement is not regionally homogeneous, demonstrating essential differences regarding local nonacademic partnerships. Innovation policies, which encourage only university–firm interactions, perpetuate regional inequality.

“…A collaborative platform allows the exchange of personal assets and assets at the business level to increase access and interaction person to person (Kumar, ). Unlike traditional models, a hierarchical structure is absent, and this allows outsourcing all members of the community and creating the advantages from collaboration (Brundenius, ). Food security chains can benefit from this new platform‐based organizational forms.…”

“…Agenda on territorial control for food security was a recurring theme in economic theories of Prebisch (1949) and Cardoso and Faletto (1969) (Cranfield, Hertel, Eales, & Preckel, 1998;Maluf, 1998;McMichael, 2002;Otero, Pechlaner, & Can Gürcan, 2013;Vergara-Camus, 2012) The emergence of a regime of transition of developing economies towards the control of the territory by large agro-industrial transnationals is a trend that continues today and proposes to reevaluate the role of the nation state. In the permanent construction of an agenda for food security, it is necessary to implement public policies with certain restrictions.…”

The present text offers a summary of some of the crucial food security problems in Latin American (LA) countries. This region, like many others in the globe, confronts such as food safety difficulties. The summary offers also an analysis of some technologically based solutions for LA food security issues. As a general call, the present review article calls for a collaborative and transdisciplinary approach to think deeper about how to solve food security problems, putting the focus on enabling technologies within a context of social, market, and global trends to achieve food and nutritional security. The review is positioned far from techno‐optimisms and, at the same time, away from purely economic‐based solutions. Conversely, this review embraces the whole complexity that brings economy‐nature‐technology triad. Embracing such complex relationships between technology, nature and the socio‐economy aspects of food security LA issues. Such complexity also triggers a need for a solution that considers a renewed approach to sustainability in the whole food value chain from production to consumption. Sustainability in the value chain opens up a much‐needed approach to LA food security that broadens, and refresh, our understanding of this fundamental socio‐economic and technical phenomena.

La Universidad de la República es la institución pública de educación superior más importante y con mayor tradición de Uruguay. Entre sus funciones está la investigación y la producción de conocimiento de calidad, original, intelectualmente significativa y socialmente valiosa para el desarrollo social, económico y cultural del país. Este trabajo ofrece una mirada de las capacidades y principales contribuciones en materia de investigación e innovación de la Universidad al país, ejemplificada con el papel desempeñado en el entorno de la pandemia por covid-19. Con base en esa experiencia, reflexionamos sobre el proceso de ampliación de esas capacidades, así como sobre las oportunidades y dificultades para profundizarlas y expandirlas.
