Transport costs heavily influence milk movement in Ireland and can offer opportunities for greater efficiency. 4/4

Policy insight: shifting milk collection routes or upgrading processing capacity can rationalize overall market efficiency. 3/4

The space price equilibrium approach incorporates milk price variation, and argues that these impact transport and processing dynamics. 2/4

A new model of Ireland’s milk market captures how regional production, transport costs, and processing capacities interact to determine milk flows across the country. 1/4

The paper acknowledges emerging varieties of innovation maps, but also pushes for more work in three directions: Spatial analyses can capture innovation journeys, maps of innovation can be more inclusive and normative lenses can be used to account for the spatially uneven impact of innovation. 2/2

The article answers the questions:
- how we map innovation: maps are not descriptive exercises, they are powerful illustrations that capture and shape what we value
- Are maps of innovation capturing the changing perspectives on what innovation is and why it matters?
