 The Current Agricultural Technology Transfer Policy in Colombia Modeled through Dynamic Performance GovernanceRoa-Ortiz Santiago A. and Cala-Vitery Favio Research on World Agricultural Economy, vol. 6, issue 1 Abstract: This paper accounts for public policies on agricultural technology transfer policy in Colombia and is modeled on the actual policy, illustrating how the “Dynamic Performance Governance” framework can solve some problems that have occurred and currently arise, and could affect the long-term objectives of the National Agricultural Innovation System. Our results reveal a virtuous circle (positive loop) potentiating the country’s growth and development, based on government investments in science and technology to increase productivity in the Colombian countryside, thus increasing both sustainability and gross agricultural domestic product. However, this has not been achieved due to two types of technology transfer delays for rural producers. The first one is generated by the definition of the technological territorial demands followed by decision-makers when prioritizing interventions. The second one relates to the lack of agricultural extension and technical assistance services that restrict the results generated by agricultural research from being transferred and their subsequent adoption by end-users.
