Abstract: In order to respond to a number of problems related to the measurement of innovation, we propose an approach for innovation measurement which responds to these problems.Our approach will focus on the agrifood sector, due to the specific characteristics and problems related to innovation in this sector.First we develop a concept of innovation taking into account its multiform, complex and embedded character.Then we prove our concept by applying it to the sector of traditional food products.We can show that our concept of innovation is working well in a value chain frame.This paper has important implications for further research.For future research we suggest, to prove its generalizability to other sectors.
