Sustainable Agriculture Production, Innovation Spillovers, Adoption Challenges and Opportunities: A Systematic Review
Authors: ,
Abstract: This research emphasizes on review of existing empirical and theoretical literature on impacts of Research and Development (R&D) innovation spillovers for sustainable agriculture productivity. Furthermore, it identifies the challenges and opportunities that agrarians have in innovation adaptation for sustaining the agricultural output. Government and private sector intervention performs a productive role in agriculture adaptation and adoption measures of innovation spillovers. The review is based on 101 existing bodies of publication in scientific journals internationally. This research provides a qualitative review of studies from 2000 to 2022 addressing sustainable agriculture, R&D innovation, innovation spillovers, embracing, and returns on agricultural R&D for sustainable food security and economic development. This study aims to identify the role of innovation spillovers, knowledge spillovers, innovative capacity, absorptive ability, and other challenges faced in sustainable agriculture output. Specifically, this research highlights the challenges and opportunities that contain the farmers in sustainable agriculture through innovation adoption and spillover shocks that are anticipated in previous literature. The evidence shows that innovation spillover performs a mediator role in sustainable agriculture productivity, while agrarian absorptive ability, knowledge capital, adoption capacity, and government extension services are key challenges.
