      abstract = {Rapid changes in the global food and agricultural system  suggest that developing-country agriculture must become  more dynamic, responsive, and competitive to survive.  However, without adequate measurements of the properties  and performance of innovativeness in the agricultural  sector, it is difficult for decision-makers to make  policies and investments that promote innovation in  agriculture. This paper attempts to demonstrate how  innovativeness in developing-country agriculture can be  measured. It does so first by identifying a set of  indicators from secondary data sources that capture key  elements of an agricultural innovation system, and  aggregates these indicators into a unique Agriculture,  Development, and Innovation Index (ADII) covering 35  developing countries. It then provides a toolkit for  collecting and analyzing “systems-oriented” indicators that  add more process-related nuances to ADII with both  attributional and relational data. This is illustrated with  data collected in Ethiopia and Vietnam in 2007-08.},
