“…Además de los datos mencionados, se evaluó el riesgo de sesgo de los artículos, ya que las conclusiones de la revisión sistemática de literatura son válidas en la medida en que los estudios que la componen, llamados estudios primarios, sean confiables (Moreno et al, 2018). Asimismo, se realizó un análisis de las principales características y hallazgos de los campos científicos con la finalidad de identificar los vacíos del conocimiento, es decir, alguna controversia o falta de estudios sobre el tema, y con ello definir líneas de investigación que el campo o área del conocimiento presenta (Vargas-Canales et al, 2022).…”

“…El desarrollo y consolidación de cada uno de los campos científicos depende mucho de la naturaleza de cada disciplina, y como resultado, existe una gran heterogeneidad en el proceso evolutivo entre los diferentes campos científicos y sus dinámicas (Coccia, 2022). Esto se debe principalmente a que entre cada campo existen desigualdades y desequilibrios de poder asociados, por ejemplo, a la obtención de recursos para desarrollar investigación y posicionar sus temáticas en la agenda pública (Vargas-Canales et al, 2022).…”

El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar el estado actual del conocimiento de los estudios sobre bioeconomía, con el fin de identificar su desarrollo, evolución y tendencias. Para su análisis se utilizó el método de revisión sistemática, mientras que para la codificación, extracción de datos y resultados se utilizó el software VOSviewer. En los últimos años se dio un crecimiento sobre las investigaciones en bioeconomía, concentrado en pocos países, instituciones y disciplinas. Los resultados identifican la consolidación de tres campos científicos con temas e intereses específicos. Actualmente, se percibe mayor interés en estudios referentes a la economía circular, la bioeconomía circular y la sustentabilidad. Finalmente, se perciben pocas investigaciones técnicas relacionadas con mejoras de procesos y productos; es decir, las investigaciones se enfocan a cuestiones socioeconómicas y en menor magnitud al desarrollo tecnológico.

“…However, the health crisis has accelerated the digitization process of society, and advances that were expected to take years have occurred in a few months [68]. Currently, and as a consequence of the confinement caused by COVID-19, which forced society to remain in isolation, there has been a significant increase in the use of information and communication technologies in all sectors [6]. In other words, it is certain that the data related to the analysis variables are greater today [1].…”

“…The agri-food sector has historically experienced a series of scientific and technological revolutions that have allowed it to increase productivity, efficiency, performance, and profitability to levels never before imagined [6]. Currently, it is proposed that a digital agricultural revolution will be the change that could help ensure that agriculture meets the needs of the world population [7].…”

“…Despite the benefits, the adoption rates of technologies such as smart agriculture are not uniform across countries [12]. However, the reality indicates that all countries, companies and markets are being affected by the digital transformation and more so as a result of the health emergency created by COVID-19, which forced the entire world into confinement and to adopt the use of digital tools [6]. In addition, it originated the emergence of four trends in the food sector: food innocuousness, food production with bioactive compounds, food safety and sustainability [21].…”

Agriculture 4.0 and 5.0 generate good expectations of satisfying the growing demand for food in a sustainable way. However, in order to make effective use of scientific and technological developments, infrastructure, knowledge, experience and skills are required. In this sense, the objective of this research was to analyze the technological capacity of the Mexican agri-food sector for the adoption of new technologies. The documentary research method was used, and the information was obtained from the Encuesta Nacional Agropecuaria, the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía and the Instituto Mexicano para la Competitividad. A cluster analysis was performed to generate a typology of states, in addition to an analysis of variance with the Kruskal–Wallis H Test for independent samples, for which the IBM® SPSS Statistics program was used. The variables analyzed presented very low values, indicating low technological capabilities. Three clusters of states with different technological capabilities were identified. The first was formed of four states in the north of the country with high technological capabilities, for which it was expected that they would have higher adoption rates. Next, there was a group made up of ten states in the north and center of the country with intermediate technological capabilities. Finally, there was a group of 18 states of the country made up of states from the center and south of the country, which present the lowest levels. The results indicate that the technological capacities for the adoption of new technologies in the Mexican agri-food sector are low in general, and are concentrated in some highly specialized regions linked to international markets.

Bioeconomic innovations breeding more sustainable innovations: A value chain perspective from Argentina

Innovations are crucial for the transition to a sustainable bioeconomy. They are embedded in and linked to complex value chains, but these interrelationships have not received much attention in the empirical literature yet. Using current typologies of four bioeconomic innovation types and six value chain models, this case study analyzes detailed data from 11 companies in Argentina to identify the drivers of sustainable innovations, their linkage to different value chain characteristics, and the main innovation types. The results show that certain factors such as supply and demand, interindustry cooperation and R&D, diversification strategies, personal values and the search for sustainable solutions particularly shape certain types of innovation. The structure and governance of the value chains influence the type of sustainable innovation. Innovations take place at different levels, and in succession, they complement each other and can thus make the bioeconomy more sustainable. Therefore, appropriate policies to promote the bioeconomy in Argentina and beyond should consider the type of value chains and specific innovation systems involved.
