Marco Común de la Plataforma de Agricultura Tropical (TAP)
El Marco Común propone un enfoque práctico para el Desarrollo de Capacidades (DC) para la Innovación Agrícola.
El Marco se compone de tres volúmenes y proporciona conceptos, principios, metodologías y herramientas para una mejor comprensión de la arquitectura de los SIA, para evaluar las necesidades de DC y para planificar, implementar, monitorear y evaluar las intervenciones de DC.
Manuales de desarrollo de capacidades
Esta colección de manuales para instructores se produjo como parte del proyecto Desarrollo de capacidades para los sistemas de innovación agrícola (CDAIS). El proyecto fue implementado por Agrinatura-EEIG y la FAO en asociación con socios nacionales de ocho países piloto y se centró en fortalecer la capacidad de los países y las principales partes interesadas para innovar en sistemas agrícolas complejos, logrando así mejores medios de vida rurales.
Herramientas de la TAP
La FAO, en colaboración con Agrinatura, ha producido una serie de hojas informativas que describen herramientas y enfoques para promover proyectos de desarrollo de capacidades para sistemas de innovación agrícola (AIS). Las herramientas están diseñadas con miras a la implementación práctica de los principios del Marco Común de la Plataforma de Agricultura Tropical (TAP). Estas herramientas han sido usadas en el proyecto CDAIS.

Burkina Faso: Story of change. Organic certification takes root, thanks to everyone working together
“Thanks to the money I earn from producing organic vegetables, this helps with the costs of schooling my children. I also feed my family with healthy food, and don’t buy any vegetables at the market anymore” says Clarisse Ilboudo, a farmer in the Koubri women’s group, Kadiogo province, Burkina Faso. The Koubri women group is supported through ‘Bio SPG’, a national organic agriculture label based on a participatory guarantee system approach, supported by the CDAIS project as one its innovation niche partnership. This story of change from Burkina Faso is part of a series of stories occur...2018
Burkina Faso: A story of change on small family business
For many years, rural women have been creating their own agri-food processing companies, that promote local agriculture by bringing to the market original foods in products that are accessible to urban populations. The aim of CDAIS is to support their development by strengthening their capacities to experiment and learn together, as well as to negotiate and make contracts with suppliers and traders. And Dakoupa in Bobo Dioulasso is one of many small family businesses supported by CDAIS through the women-led agri-food processing microenterprise innovation partnership.2018

Guatemala: Stories of change. Moving to modern beekeeping
From the Maya to modern times, beekeeping has been a much respected rural activity in Guatemala. Then in recent years, production increased and a national association was formed. But internal disagreements soon saw a fall in production and sales. Then thanks to CDAIS, producers across the country asked for and were given, a new space to gather. And there they rediscovered their common interests and goals, and have re-established their original organization, to excellent effect.2018

Bangladesh: A story of change. Pineapples - Putting plans into action
Pineapple is one of the most important commercial fruit crops in the world. In Bangladesh, it is ranked third in terms total production and area farmed, both of which are increasing continually.
