The agricultural sector plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing food, raw materials, and employment.
However, as challenges such as climate change, population growth, and resource depletion intensify, agricultural practices
need to become more sustainable, efficient, and innovative. This paper identifies and analyzes the main directions for
improving innovative activities in agriculture, focusing on technological advancements, policy support, and capacity
building. The paper suggests that an integrated approach combining research, innovation, and supportive policies is
essential to foster growth in the agricultural sector
