Innovation and techno-ecological transition.

Summary The adoption of the law on the energy transition for green growth and the holding of the XXIst edition of the UN Climate Conference testify to an individual and collective awareness of the impacts of human activity on the environment. This book deals with the implementation of structural transformations - the transition - that allow for the emergence of environmentally friendly socio-technical systems. The hypothesis is that the structural change of a society is analyzed through technological, societal and institutional innovations. The question of sustainable transition is studied through the analysis of two vital functions: energy and agriculture/agri-food. Innovation and Techno-Ecological Transition invites the reader to question the "classic" models of innovation and to observe the processes and blocking factors that constitute obstacles to the success of the transition.
