Abstract

[ES] La extensión rural ha evolucionado desde enfoque lineal tradicional, hacia un modelo sistémico que involucra la participación de actores públicos y privados, configurando sistemas de innovación. En esta interacción sistémica se conforman estructuras de redes de información donde los productores establecen vínculos con diversos actores tanto locales como externos al territorio. A partir del análisis de estas redes, fue posible identificar actores clave, determinando los roles de promotor de innovaciones, líder de opinión, intermediario facilitador e intermediario bróker. La identificación de actores y su función, permite la implementación de un modelo de extensión rural a escala local. [EN] Rural extension has evolved from a traditional linear approach, towards a systemic model that involves the participation of public and private actors, configuring innovation systems. In this systemic interaction, information network structures are formed where producers establish links with various actors, both local and external to the territory. From the analysis of these networks, it was possible to identify key actors, determining the roles of promoter of innovations, opinion leader, facilitator intermediary and broker intermediary. The identification of actors and their function allows the implementation of a rural extension model at a local scale.
