Highlights:

  • Improving the agrifood system calls for coupling the design in agriculture and food.
  • The coupled innovations are genetic, technological, organizational and institutional.
  • Coupling the design requires coordinating exploration processes in separate domains.
  • Renewed networks of actors in niches are needed for coupling radical innovations.
  • The governance of the design process should target sharing expectations and knowledge.
