It determines the current status quo of the South African Agricultural Innovation
System and its limitations and shows possible solutions to overcome these. The
agricultural sector in South Africa faces many challenges. Water scarcity, climate
change and increasing resource pressure are just some of the obstacles, which
need to be overcome. Agricultural activity is very diverse and ranges from highly
efficient farming operations to food gardens and subsistence farming.
Furthermore, the South Africa’s population will continue to grow, and food
production will need to increase significantly. In order to meet these challenges
and to ensure and improve food security, new solutions need to be found and
innovations need to be implemented. This study explores the ability of the South
African Agricultural Innovation System to support the emergence and
implementation of innovative solutions and to enable long lasting change of the agricultural sector and the overall food system. The research used a variety of
methodologies, such as literature review, qualitative interviews, social network
analysis and content analysis. A first journal article seeks to portray the South
African Agricultural Innovation System. Based on innovation system theory and its
application in agriculture as well as qualitative interviews with various
stakeholders, a social network analysis was performed and the results are
presented in a visual form. The maturity of the innovation system and its ability to
face and meet the existing challenges are discussed. The second journal article
describes the ability of the South African agricultural sector to support a long-term
transition towards more sustainability. The concepts of transition theory, the multilevel
perspective and strategic niche management are presented and discussed.
Limiting factors for a transition towards a more sustainable agricultural and food
system in South Africa were identified during interviews with various parties
involved in agricultural innovation. Potential solutions to overcome these
limitations are described and reviewed.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie lewer ’n bydrae tot die navorsing oor die opkoms en funksionering
van innovasiestelsels in die landbousektor in ontwikkelende lande. Dit bepaal die
huidige status quo van die stelsel met sy onderskeie beperkinge en bied moontlike
oplossings om dit te oorkom. Daar is aansienlike uitdagings wat die landbousektor
in Suid-Afrika kniehalter. Waterskaarste, klimaatsverandering en toenemende druk
op hulpbronne is slegs ’n paar van die struikelblokke wat oorkom moet word.
Landboukundige aktiwiteit is geweldig uiteenlopend en wissel van hoogs
doeltreffende landbouondernemings tot voedseltuine en bestaansboerdery.
Aangesien Suid-Afrika se bevolking boonop voortdurend groei, moet
voedselproduksie beduidend verhoog. Ten einde hierdie uitdagings die hoof te kan
bied en voedselsekuriteit te verseker en te verbeter, moet nuwe oplossings gevind
en innovasies geïmplementeer word. Hierdie studie ondersoek die vermoë van die
Suid-Afrikaanse Landbou-innovasiestelsel om die opkoms en implementering van
innoverende oplossings te ondersteun en langdurige verandering van die
landbousektor en die algehele voedselstelsel moontlik te maak. Die navorsing het verskillende metodologieë gebruik, onder meer literatuuroorsig, kwalitatiewe
onderhoude, sosiale netwerk-ontleding en inhoudontleding. Die eerste
vaktydskrifartikel beeld die Suid-Afrikaanse Landbou-innovasiestelsel uit.
Gebaseer op innovasiestelselteorie en die toepassing daarvan in die landbou,
asook kwalitatiewe onderhoude met verskeie belanghebbendes, is ’n sosiale
netwerk-ontleding gedoen en die resultate word in visuele vorm aangebied. Die
volwaardigheid van die innovasiestelsel en die vermoë daarvan om die bestaande
uitdagings aan te pak en dit die hoof te bied, word bespreek. Die tweede
vaktydskrifartikel beskryf die vermoë van die Suid-Afrikaanse landbousektor om ’n
langtermynoorgang na groter volhoubaarheid te ondersteun. Die konsepte
oorgangsteorie, die veelvlakperspektief en strategiese nis-bestuur word aangebied
en bespreek. Faktore wat ’n oorgang na ’n meer volhoubare landbou- en
voedselstelsel in Suid-Afrika beperk, is in onderhoude met verskeie
belanghebbendes by landboukundige innovasie uitgewys. Potensiële oplossings om hierdie beperkinge te oorkom word beskryf en hersien.
