The agrarian activity has been playing a major role in Brazil's economic growth for many years and as a consequence the country is one of the largest exporters of agricultural products. The National Agricultural Research System (NARS) is an important instrument that contributes to the positive result; however, it is currently fragile due to absence of coordination and cooperation between the actors, in addition to the reduction of resources. In this context the Centre for Strategic Studies and Management (CGEE) has proposed an alternative arrangement for agricultural research which includes a platform organization that will enable articulation, alignment and synergy between the actors involved in the agricultural research process and innovation in the Country in the medium and long term. The objective of this study was to present a proposal to be implemented, in the short term, in order to achieve the model formulated by the CGEE. A case study on the NARS was performed through a brief theoretical review of concepts relevant to the needs of analysis of the System. The main events of the NARS trajectory that occurred between 1972 and 2015 were described in order to understand its functioning and dynamics. The analysis of the System was conducted through articles, books and theses review and, in particular, through interviews conducted with different actors representing the System: academics, managers and contributors of the State Agricultural Research Organizations (OEPAs), leaders of representative councils, public officials and representatives of the private sector. We found that, in order to be possible in the short term, an institution that held a major role in the NARS should implement the model, and that already had legal, technical and operational capacity mechanisms required to validate and implement the new model. There was also the need for institutional and organizational innovations of the System, especially to meet the producers and society demands. Ultimately, one of the most relevant findings is that the effectiveness of the new arrangement will only occur if the involved institutions and actors recognize each other as co-authors, be proactive and realize their roles and responsibilities.
