Summary
"Agriculture and Industry in Brazil: Innovation and Competitiveness considers technological change in the Brazilian agriculture. The book's objective is to present theory and practice, highlighting what successful experiences have in common. Can Brazilian agribusiness fit within the theoretical approach of induced institutional innovation? To what extent does the Brazilian case compare to the national industry models? Jose Eustaquio Ribeiro Vieira Filho and Albert Fishlow argue that tropical agriculture depends on institution building with a focus on science and technology. As such, modern agriculture is a knowledge-intensive sector, similar in Brazil to its oil and aviation industries. Filho and Fishlow tackle the theme of industrial innovation from various angles. They argue that agricultural research has played a key role in production and productivity growth in Brazil, however it is the institutions for knowledge diffusion that speak to long term economic development. Education and urban development play relevant roles"-- Provided by publisher.
