The document discusses innovation in the European agrifood sector and provides findings from a study comparing innovation systems in Denmark and Ireland. The key findings are:
1) Denmark invests more in business research and R&D which has led to more patents and new products compared to Ireland. Danish firms also appear to collaborate more.
2) While Ireland has a high proportion of innovative businesses, much of the innovation is around marketing and organization rather than new product development.
3) Access to finance is identified as a key constraint to innovation in both countries. More collaboration across the agrifood innovation system is needed in Ireland.

This document discusses using CSR (corporate social responsibility) as a business development strategy. It notes that the global population is growing and food production must increase 60% by 2050 to feed everyone. It argues that companies should move beyond reactive CSR compliance and instead take a leadership role in solving major global problems through their core competencies. The document proposes a "total CSR leadership" approach where companies identify food challenges and contribute solutions using their products and skills. This would help build strong brands by telling true stories that are solving real needs and including customers in the vision.

The document discusses the potential for growth in Denmark's food cluster exports globally. It notes that Denmark is a small, open economy that relies heavily on exports. The food cluster, including agriculture, food processing and technology, is an important part of Denmark's economy. There are significant opportunities for growth in food exports to Asia and other regions to meet rising global demand as the world population and middle class increases. However, obstacles like environmental regulations and a lack of resources could hamper Denmark's ability to realize this export potential. The food cluster represents the possibility of balanced growth through increased knowledge and sustainable production.
Ambassador Susanne Hyldelund, Under-Secretary for The Trade CouncilDanish Food Cluster
Global trends will impact export opportunities for Danish companies in the coming years:
1) The economic center of gravity is shifting towards Asia as countries like China see continued strong growth, while growth in Europe and the US will be more modest.
2) Aging populations in Europe and low population growth globally will impact consumption patterns and economic growth.
3) The Danish export outlook for 2015-2016 is positive, with expected growth of 5.7% in 2015 and 6.0% in 2016, driven particularly by Asian and North American markets.
4) The Danish government is strengthening export promotion efforts through economic diplomacy, priority markets and sectors, and partnerships between government, businesses and authorities.

Innovation in the European
Agrifood Sector
Alan Renwick
Danish Food Cluster
19th March 2015
2. Background and
Motivation
• Whilst working for SAC in Scotland which is
undertakes Research, Education and Consultancy
became interested in the innovation system and
our role in it.
• Undertook a study in Scotland and linked with
researchers in Netherlands who had undertaken
similar work to compare the two countries
• When moved to Ireland thought it would be
interesting to extend the work to include Ireland
but also to look at it more quantitatively and
compare across Europe
3. • The basic premise is that for a country to have a
successful Agrifood sector in the future, all parts
of the system have not only to work well
individually but also function collectively as well.
• For example, there is no point having world class
food manufacturers and processors if there is no
raw material supply.
4. Innovation Systems
• As the World Bank (2006) states “The innovation
systems concept embraces not only the science
suppliers but the totality and interaction of actors
involved in innovation. It extends beyond the
creation of knowledge to encompass the factors
affecting demand for and use of knowledge in
novel and useful ways.”
5. Direct Demand of Innovation :
Agri-food Supply Chains
Indirect Demand
of Innovation
Research
Intermediaries
Input suppliers (e.g Goldcrop, Dairymaster etc)
Farmers

8. How well are they working?
• Pictures show the extent of the connections but
not the strength/quality of these connections and
what they are doing in terms of boosting the
performance of the agrifood sector
• Through stakeholder interviews and data analysis
we investigated this further
9. Capturing Innovation
• Interviews/ Workshops (Scotland,
Ireland and Netherlands)
• Series of indicators developed
– Inputs (Expenditure on R&D etc)
– Outputs (Patents, Publications etc)
– Outcomes (Farm and Firm
performance)
• Compare across Europe (where
available beyond Europe too
10. • An initial study undertaken at Wageningen using
secondary data on Food and Drink companies for
8 European countries
• We extended to more European Countries
including Ireland
• Also extended to include agricultural sector rather
than just food and drink manufacturing
11. Interview process
• Step 1 – Who are the key players in the agri-food
innovation system?
• Step 2 – What roles(functions) do they perform
and how well do they perform them?
• Step 3 – How strongly is the innovation system
performing?
• Step 4 – What are the key barriers or enabling
factors determining the level of performance?
• Step 5 – What could/should be done to improve
the performance?

25. Denmark vs Ireland
• The comparison appears to show a relatively clear picture -
Denmark is investing more in business research (both by the
government and by industry), this is leading to more patents
and new products being introduced. In general firms appear
more collaborative, agriculture is more productive and the
overall environment is more conducive to innovation.
• Ireland does have a greater proportion of innovative
businesses, but this seems to be more around
marketing/organizational innovation than new product
development. In addition Ireland does have a higher level
of value added and operating surplus in the food and drink
industry, but again this is likely to be skewed by the relative
importance of the alcoholic drinks industry in Ireland.

30. US view
• “To maintain this leadership moving forward, we
need to recalibrate our federal agencies to
support innovation, develop a globally
competitive workforce, and engage frontier
markets. There are numerous gains to be made
by tackling trade and regulatory challenges and
leveraging the strengths of universities,
businesses, and other players ….And if history is
any indication, America is up to the challenge.”
• Dan Glickman

34. Systemic Strengths and Weaknesses:
University Challenge?
• Scottish universities and research providers strong links
externally but weaker links with indigenous SMEs
• Only partial success in Scotland to overcome interactions–
very strong links Policy-Research but less so into industry
• Relatively few innovation brokers and intermediaries in
Scotland
34
35. Challenges for Universities: Scotland and
Ireland Findings
• Researchers and consultants – ‘intellectual
arrogance’ (Sc)
• Researchers low priority on communicating
findings
• Researchers need to learn a new language!
• "Doing the research is only one part of it, getting
it implemented is the more important.
Universities are doing the research, but is it
getting out into the market?”
• ‘All very interesting but I want
to know what are going to be
the products on the shelves
in two years time’
36. Companies Challenged
• Lack of ‘Absorptive Capacity’
• ‘Companies with a turnover of over €150 m have
no R&D Department’
• ‘Businesses are employing people with just an
undergraduate degree and making them head of
research’
• ‘At the farm level there is a weak demand for
innovation’

38. • "Banks are not in the innovation game. [They're
in the] lending money game and getting that
money back game.“
39. • Enterprise Ireland identify that the key
challenges for High Potential Start Ups
(HPSU) in Food and Drink at the early stage
include:
– high up front capital costs coupled to difficulties in
raising finance
– the need to validate the product in an approved
facility
– a lack of experience in scaling food production
– getting the logistics right
– long timelines in closing a listing with retailers
particularly overseas retailers
• Source personal communication with Enterprise Ireland
40. Characteristics of Successful Start-Ups
• On the other hand successful food HPSUs,
that have managed to scale and export
quickly, display common characteristics such
as:
– A promoter/team with expert technical knowledge
in the product sector.
– There is an innovative business model, innovative
product or Intellectual Property (IP) that provides a
competitive advantage in the market place.
– Expert market knowledge, ideally with access to
key customers and distribution and an
understanding of the real costs in the market place.
– Adequate finance and margins to fund and sustain
an export dimension.
41. Systemic Strengths and Weaknesses
• Hard Institutions
– Regulation; Regulation; Regulation
– Application procedures for innovation too
complex
– Tax breaks and R&D credits innovation
vouchers enabling but GM ban detrimental
– CAP funding a barrier to innovation?
– Levy funding more directed at research in

42. Conclusions
• From the analysis undertaken a series of
conclusions are drawn concerning the state of the
Irish Agrifood Innovation System.
• Presenting them here as may have some
resonance with your situation in Denmark
43. Ireland has a number of truly world class innovative
companies, however the problem is there are simply not
enough of them and there are too few new innovative
companies emerging from which world leading companies
could emerge.
44. Conclusions
• Within Ireland there is a high
level of government support for
the agrifood sector and for
Science and Technology within
agriculture and food sectors in
particular.
• However, much of the science
and the efforts at encouraging
innovation are supply pushed
rather than demand pulled.
• In addition, Ireland lags behind
other countries in terms of
business investment in research
and development.
45. Conclusions continued
• Companies are finding it difficult to access the
knowledge they require. Much of the engagement that
occurs is ad hoc in nature.
• Ireland is relatively strong at innovation that removes
cost from the supply chain (Lean principles), however
it is weaker in terms of the development of new
products
• Evidence points to access to finance being a key
constraint in the innovation process.
46. Conclusions continued
• As a small country it can co-ordinate activity more
easily than other larger countries. However, more
generally there is a lack of a culture of collaboration
across and between all components of the Agrifood
Innovation System.
• The structural issues in agriculture that are well known
as more general are also a significant barrier to
innovation at the farm level.
• Through the discussions undertaken for the study,
there is a perception that a conservative mindset
dominates organisations with power and influence and
that leaders in the agrifood sector need to be more
open to the benefits of co-operation, collaboration and
partnerships for innovation.
47. Recommendations
• Incentives for more R&D within Firms
• Incentives for more KTE within
Universities
• Focus on New Products – Adding Value
• Novel funding arrangements for
companies
• Education and Advisory – Redirection?
• Greater Collaboration – Industry Forums
• Structural Change
• Fit for Purpose Structures
• Is it just about people?
