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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Agricultural industries $x Technological innovations $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Agricultural innovations $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Agriculture and state $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Agriculture $x Economic aspects $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Competition $z Brazil. 650 7 $a Agricultural industries $x Technological innovations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00800910 650 7 $a Agricultural innovations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00800915 650 7 $a Agriculture and state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00801722 650 7 $a Agriculture $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00801415 650 7 $a Competition. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00871464 651 7 $a Brazil. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206830 700 1 $a Vieira Filho, Jose Eustaquio, $e author. 700 1 $a Scheinkman, Jose A., $e writer of foreword. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Fishlow, Albert. $t Agriculture and industry in Brazil $d New York : Columbia University Press, [2020] $z 9780231191708 $w (DLC) 2019057518 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032542.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=13BE28BAAF2611EC897049F049ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
