Building the Future of Agriculture: Strategic Theories for Resilience and Ecological Transition
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article presents a theoretical analysis of the transformative dynamics shaping the agricultural sector in the context of contemporary environmental, economic, and societal challenges. Through an examination of the conceptual foundations of Schumpeterian innovation, institutional theory, stakeholder theory, and the Resource-Based View (RBV), this study highlights the key levers enabling the transition toward sustainable and resilient agricultural models. It emphasizes the role of technological and organizational innovation, the importance of a stable and incentive-based institutional framework, the active engagement of stakeholders, and the strategic mobilization of internal resources in building sustainable competitive advantage. The analysis shows that agricultural sustainability is no longer solely an environmental requirement, but a strategic imperative for strengthening overall performance, competitiveness, and resilience of agricultural enterprises facing climate and economic pressures. This theoretical contribution provides a solid conceptual foundation for understanding the transition from the traditional agricultural model toward a sustainability- oriented approach driven by innovation and responsible value creation.
