Beyond scientific contribution : assessment of the societal impact of research and innovation to build a sustainable agri-food sector Chams, Nour Guesmi, Bouali Gil, Jose Maria Research outcome Sustainability performance Societal impact Innovative agri-food sector SDG 2 - Zero Hunger SDG 13 - Climate Action Due to the climate change and increased attention toward environmental management issues, the agri-food sector has been extensively relying on research, development, and innovation (RDi) to transform conventional agricultural production into a sustainable and eco-friendly industry. While the academic contribution of research has been relatively easily identified in the literature, the assessment of its societal impact remains underdeveloped. Accordingly, this study employs mixed-method evaluation approaches, mainly ASIRPA framework and Impact Oriented Monitoring (IOM) model to better understand and measure the multi- dimensional impacts of RDi in the agri-food sector in Spain. The objective of this analysis is to identify the impact of research on the society and the ecosystem. An in-depth case study analysis is conducted to examine the "best practices" program to promote sustainable techniques in the rice cultivation. Empirical findings suggest a standardized index to measure the economic, socio-territorial, health, political, capacity building, and environmental impacts, involving the stakeholder-network evaluation. The study highlights important implications for firm management decisions monitoring research uptake and policy design in the agri-food sector. 2020 Article https://ddd.uab.cat/record/307080 urn:10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.110455 urn:oai:ddd.uab.cat:307080 urn:oai:egreta.uab.cat:publications/a89249cb-5e8e-43f6-86e9-a837153cee7c urn:pure_id:465608999 urn:scopus_id:85082388555 eng Journal of environmental management ; open access Aquest material està protegit per drets d'autor i/o drets afins.
