Gestión del conocimiento y capacidad de innovación de organizaciones agrícolas del Valle del Yaqui en tiempos de Covid-19.
Knowledge management and innovation capacity of agricultural organizations in Valle del Yaqui in times of Covid-19.
Abstract
Objective: To analyze the situation experienced by the agricultural organizations in the Yaqui Valley in relation to the way they generate knowledge and their capacity for innovation in health contingency. Methodology: Through qualitative research using interview guides with various farmers in the Yaqui Valley. Results: It was found that the agricultural sector quickly adapted to the appearance of Covid-19, seeking to generate ideas and strategies that allow them to obtain more knowledge about their crops. Limitations: The sector's barriers to participating in this type of research need to be pointed out as a limitation. The above is due to two main points: crime and extortion. They argue that they have been contacted by supposed institutes with the intention of contacting business appointments, and in the end, they result in telephone blackmail. Therefore, not all agricultural producers show openness regarding collaboration for the project, which makes obtaining information even more complex. Conclusion: The agricultural organizations seek to manage their knowledge through innovation, specifically product innovation.
