“…The results of Table 4 indicate that "Investing in disinfection and dry-cleaning sections "is ranked highest among the items of processed products in processing industries and the item "separation of gardens based on export-domestic consumption -processing industries" has the lowest priority. These results are consistent with those of Balali et al (2014), Gagliardi et al (2014), andLiu et al (2015).…”

Conversion and complementary industries are one of the best ways to develop agricultural waste prevention. One of the problems facing the date-making and finishing industries is the problem. Lack of attention to the innovation of these industries and consequently lack of sufficient share in domestic markets and lack of access to global markets. This study examines the total innovation management in the fields of branding, packaging and pricing, customer orientation, and date and time-consuming advertising. Method: According to the goals and assumptions, descriptive-analytical research and its survey method is a survey. According to the Cochran formula, 155 people are involved in marketing, packaging and processing of dates in Kerman province. To answer the research question, a questionnaire was designed as the main research tool. SPSS software and AMOS software were used to analyze the results. Findings "Extensive Database of Resources", "New Technology", "Risk-taking Power", "How to Manage Workshops" are Top Priorities in Comprehensive Innovation Management in Convertible and Supplementary Industries and "Customer Oriented" Component Marketing And in the packaging of the component "smart packaging to maintain product quality" and in the processing of products "investment in the disinfection and grading sector" are the most important elements in the development of conversion and complementary industries.

The Sustainable Niche for Vegetable Production within the Contentious Sustainable Agriculture Discourse: Barriers, Opportunities and Future Approaches

Agricultural productivity impacts the environment and natural resources in various ways. The severity of these impacts has triggered the emergence of natural resource management and the related, highly criticized science of agroecology. Vegetable production has known environmental impacts. However, the extent of its participation in sustainable production has not been adequately explored. This review sought to explore the spaciotemporal position of vegetables in a suite of existing sustainable agricultural practices, explore regional variations and discover lessons that can guide the future of vegetable production. There are regional differences regarding sustainable production practices and the associated barriers to their adoption. Generally, sustainable agricultural practices with a societal history in a region tend to be successful, unlike when they are “new” innovations. The major barriers to sustainable agricultural practices in vegetable production are economy-related (total investment cost) and crop-related and are also related to the technology transmission approaches. Unfulfilled expectations and a lack of community participation in technology development are noted challenges, which have led to dis-adoption. A farmer-centered approach to technology promotion could help. Comparatively, southern Africa has the most challenges in the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. From the lessons learned from other regions, agroecology in vegetable cultivation is not unachievable in Africa. The projected challenges mean that sustainable vegetable production is inevitable.

“…In between, however, the industry research institutes play a key role. These also produce and transfer codified knowledge, but in addition to this, they often assist in stimulating knowledge transfer and application in industry [33]. This notion is particularly valid in the context of the pulp and paper industry; in this sector, the knowledge formation process does not only concern R&D, but also technology demonstration and tests [15], as well as synthetical development activities for which system integration is very important [34].…”

This article provides a sectoral innovation system perspective of the development of energy efficient and clean process technologies in the Swedish pulp and paper industry. Specifically, the analysis elaborates the importance of knowledge development, actor networks, and institutions (including policy) for progressing and diffusing novel technologies related to energy use. The empirical analysis also sheds light on how significant changes in the sectoral innovation system have influenced the relevant research, development and demonstration activities in the Swedish pulp and paper industry over the period 1970–2010. The results are based on various sources—e.g., industry magazines, reports from industrial consultants and associations, minutes from meetings—and illustrate the importance of well-functioning innovation systems for successful technological development and diffusion processes. They display, in particular, the importance of joint, industry-wide R&D activities, trust-based state—industry relationships, government R&D expenditures, and intense information sharing. One important implication is that the role of policy stretches beyond the funding of basic R&D. Policy also involves measures that strengthen existing actor networks, build competence, and secure the existence of research institutes that provide a bridge between basic knowledge generation (at the universities) on the one hand, and industrial application on the other.
