VEGA-PEREZ, C. A.  and  CAMARGO-CASTILLO, L. S.. Appropriation of the elements of social innovation in community agricultural organizations of the department of Boyaca, Colombia. Rev. Med. Vet. Zoot. [online]. 2022, vol.69, n.3, pp.299-309.  Epub Jan 12, 2023. ISSN 0120-2952.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rfmvz.v69n3.99196.

In order to establish minimum criteria related to social innovation in agricultural community organizations, qualitative research tools were used, including specialized searches and the use of programs for the analysis of bibliographic data (for example VOSviewer™), with the purpose of defining the elements related to management, governance, capacities, business model and sustainability for eight (8) community organizations of agricultural producers in the province of Sugamuxi, in the department of Boyacá, Colombia. It was possible to establish that some organizations of agricultural producers that carry out activities in the department of Boyacá are not integrally appropriating the elements of social innovation (at operational and managerial levels) and, consequently, there is a whole route of improvement to be developed with them to optimize the organizational efficiency indexes; in addition, the complexity of the subject is evident, given that the sustainability of social innovations will depend largely on the management of the organizations, where shared institutional agendas contextualized and adjusted to the territories are established. It is necessary to optimize the channels of participation in a joint manner between the State, the organizations, and the producers themselves to be able to dynamize processes, goals and the real scope of social innovation in light of the accelerated changes faced by the agribusiness producer in Colombia, related to market dynamics, access to resources and others.
