Innovation: the importance of identifying and measuring Pope dynamic subsector (Solanum tuberosum) in northern Nicaragua

Abstract

  The subject under discussion refers to innovation, from a subsector perspective; Its object of study is the knowledge about the expressions of innovation in the productive subsector of the potato (Solanum tuberosum. L), which locates its dynamics, mainly in the territories of Matagalpa, Jinotega and Estelí located in the north of Nicaragua. The problem lies in the lack of an adequate methodology for the identification and measurement of innovation in the Nicaraguan productive subsectors. The objective of this ongoing study is to create a methodology that provides approximations that allow the identification and measurement of innovation in this productive subsector. The theoretical, methodological and practical contributions of the study lie in the search to increase information and knowledge about the various dynamics that significantly affect the activities of a productive subsector, important within a territory with similar agroecological characteristics, whose special attributes make possible the development of a specific productive activity, whose influence on territorial development is relevant.
