Agricultural Council
In 2007 Law No. 18.126 of the "Decentralization and Coordination of Agricultural Policies with a Departmental Base" was created. The law creates the Agricultural Council which brings together different bodies: a National Agricultural Council, a departmental board for each department and rural development boards. The Agricultural Council is in charge of the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries. The National Council and the departmental meetings bring together representatives of the State and non-governmental institutions. Its main tasks are to promote decentralization and the involvement of the agricultural society, to guide the actions of institutions linked to the sector and to promote the implementation of policies.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
