Abstract

Efforts in terms of science and technology have the most effective manifestations in innovations, in their consequences and effects. Traditionally related to industrial activity, the innovation process, scientific-technical dynamism, technological progress and knowledge, in the Brazilian case, seem to be concentrated in agricultural activity. The strong productive and exporting dynamism of activities related to agriculture explains part of this process, but the productive-technological arrangements and aspects of a political-institutional nature have a very significant weight. Thus, with regard to the Brazilian economy, agriculture and livestock have overlapped industrial activity as an element that stimulates production, an export base, a launching pad for innovations and an element for the diffusion of technological progress. Finally, it should be considered whether this imbalance could be corrected by a greater interaction between the two activities.
