Established farm-business ties may steer agri-start-up ideas toward smaller gains
Credit: ThisisEngineering/ Unsplash The Leibniz Center for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), in collaboration with other academic institutions, has published a new study on start-ups in the agricultural sector in the journal Progress in Economic Geography. In it, a research team examines how well so-called agri-start-ups are embedded in existing innovation structures in a region of Lower Saxony that is particularly strongly characterized by agriculture. A key finding: the extent to which innovations from agri-start-ups contribute to sustainability transformations in the region depends heavily on established and well-entrenched structures.
