Abstract: The ever-more turbulent business environment of agro-food industries requires fast and effective innovation of varied dimensions of products and business processes.In realizing this, innovation processes should be organized smoothly.This implies that both incremental improvements and transformational innovations processes are integrated and embedded deeply in the entire organisation.Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can have an important enhancing role by providing valuable tools to capture, structure and communicate the required information and thus making complexity manageable for human mind.In the paper this enhancing role is elaborated in a conceptual innovation framework and the required ICT-architecture is illustrated by a case study in Dutch arable farming.
