Theoretical model of territorial agro-industrial development through multi-focus research analytics.

This study sought to propose a theoretical model by determining the incident factors of agro-industrial territorial development based on the existing scientific literature and the exploration of successful case studies in the sector worldwide. A systematic review of the literature was carried out, with a bibliometric analysis and content analysis, recognizing elements associated with the improvement of competitiveness and territorial development. The factors identified as incidents of agro-industrial territorial development are: the short supply chain, protection of agri-food products with territorial identity, family farming, local food systems and agribusiness. These factors were integrated into a theoretical model in order to analyze the systemic interaction of each of the factors to find the causes or reasons for territorial development where activation mechanisms can be identified, such as: relational, spatial and technological proximity, the institutional framework from the territory, the support of public policy and the promotion of inclusive and integrated businesses in the value chain. • Identifies publication trends in the two most relevant scientific databases and compares their results. • Determines the units of analysis based on the results of the bibliometric exercise and the content data of the articles studied. • Proposes a rural territorial development approach, valuing the processes of social construction, geophysical characteristics, cohesion of economic, technological, socio-political and cultural forces of the territory. • It formulates a theoretical model of agro-industrial territorial_development to be developed and evaluated in a systemic way for its effectiveness.
