Abstract
Agricultural technology innovation originates from the interaction of scientific research and development resources, knowledge accumulation, and talent management.
However, when institutions or researchers successfully complete the initial stage of technological innovation, they usually focus on the dissemination of explicit knowledge (academic papers) and thus ignoring tacit knowledge (practitioner guidance). This is the result of flaws in the design of current knowledge systems in the agricultural field and implies a crisis of underdeveloped talent in agribusinesses.
Thus, if we aim for agricultural knowledge systems that more effectively drive the knowledge transformation, we must carefully plan and establish people-oriented full-resource integrated knowledge service models.
By promoting multiple and more effective channels for sharing scientific community experiences, these knowledge service models drive the process from explicit to tacit knowledge, from R&D to applied product, and thus continue the momentum of innovation in research through to practical development results.
This paper summarizes the activities of a project that takes the example of the cold chain postharvest handling of agricultural products, to illustrate how such a multi-resource knowledge service model could be developed and function.
The findings from the project will be helpful for improving the future flow of agricultural industry knowledge and the development of professional social networks for innovation.
