ABSTRACT
Several studies aim to evidence the relevance of innovation in the agro-food industry. However, comparative studies between regions are almost absent. With the aim to fill this literature gap, this paper aims to present a geographical analysis of innovation in the agro-food value chain. With the goal of presenting a geographical comparative analysis of innovation in the agro-food value chain, we present results of some interviews conducted with a sample of Italian firms. We selected two case studies to evidence how institutional contest affects firms’ innovative activities.
