Title: Reframing technical change: Livestock Fodder Scarcity Revisited as 
	 Innovation Capacity Scarcity: Part 2.  A Framework for Analysis
Abstract: This is the second in a series of three papers that develop a conceptual 
	 framework for a project on livestock fodder innovation. The paper begins 
	 by reviewing the evolving paradigms of agricultural research and 
	 innovation over the last 30 years or so and explains the emergence and 
	 relevance of the innovation systems concept to agricultural development. 
	 The paper then presents a framework for exploring fodder innovation 
	 capacity. This framework gives particular emphasis to the patterns of 
	 interaction needed for innovation and the policy and institutional 
	 settings needed to enable these processes. The paper concludes with some 
	 comments on the difficulties of measuring institutional change and the 
	 desirability of tracking institutional change and its relationship to 
	 welfare outcomes.
