This document discusses innovation, institutional learning, and networks for agricultural development in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It provides examples of experiences at different levels, including the INNOVAGRO network which involves stakeholders in national agricultural research systems across the hemisphere, sub-regional networks like PROCIS, and El Salvador's Family Agriculture Plan. Key lessons are that trust is important for partnerships and networks to work effectively, and local innovation networks are important given innovations often occur at the territorial level. The document concludes with proposals like promoting a global partnership for family farming development and implementing a hemispheric strategy to modernize agricultural research institutions in LAC.
