As Innovation brokers purposefully catalyze innovation through bringing together actors and facilitating their interaction, from a relatively impartial third-party position. Brokering expands the role of agricultural extension from that of a one-to-one intermediary between research and farmers to that of an intermediary that creates and facilitates many-to-many relationships.
Preliminary lessons from our experience are that innovation brokering help build synergy in agricultural innovation systems, keeping a “behind-the-scenes” mode of operating.
Recommendations
“A recommendation from our brokers is to plan for the nature of the different innovation broker functions in the different steps of the innovation process, but be flexible at the same time.”
‘”For policy makers it is recommended to assess innovation system failures and current innovation broker capacity to avoid duplication of effort.”
“Project managers should coordinate actions of the innovation network partners and the innovation broker when forming the network to avoid confusion among the parties.”
