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.
Otros recursos de TAP
Esta sección contiene otros recursos desarrollados por la Plataforma de la Agricultura Tropical, como herramientas de implementación práctica y hojas informativas para el Desarrollo de Capacidades, Historias de éxito de proyectos implementados, Carta de la TAP, informes anuales de la TAP y muchos más.
CDAIS Global Overview 2017
CDAIS is a global partnership that aims to strengthen the capacity of countries and key stakeholders to innovate in the context of complex agricultural systems, to improve rural livelihoods. The goal of the Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation Systems (CDAIS) project is to promote innovation that meets the needs of small farmers, small and medium-sized agribusiness, and consumers. To do so, it is bringing together key stakeholders in agricultural innovation systems around selected niche partnerships in eight pilot countries (Angola, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Guatemal...2018
TAP Newsletter - Issue No. 01/2018 (period: January 2018 - May 2018)
The Newsletter of the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP) provides regular updates on global activities by TAP and its partners, on the EU funded CDAIS project (jointly implemented by FAO and Agrinatura) and on upcoming related events. This issue specifically refers to the period from January to May 2018.2018
Burkina Faso: Stories of change. Women lead the way in rural enterprises
For many years, rural women have been creating their own 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 these companies’ develop- ment 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 micro-enterprise innovation partnershi...2018
G20 Stock taking Exercise 2018. Report on the Tropical Agriculture Platform
This report provides an overview of the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP) since its inception in 2012, when it was officially launched by FAO at the first G20 Meeting of Agriculture Chief Scientists (MACS) in September 2012 in Mexico, until December 2017. The G20 Agriculture Deputies agreed on this stock taking exercise that started under the 2018 Argentinian G20 Presidency. Purposes of the exercise are the following: To take stock of the work of the initiatives launched by G20 Agriculture Ministers since the 2011 French Presidency. To prepare comments and proposals as a...2018
Guatemala: Stories of change. Better beans mean better nutrition
The ‘dry corridor’ is a region of guatemala that covers part of the departments of Baja Verapaz, Zacapa, El Progreso, Jalapa, Chiquimula, Jutiapa and Santa Rosa. It is vulnerable to drought and, in some parts, communities lack food security, with a high level of extreme poverty. Malnutrition is a significant problem, especially among young children and their mothers. The traditional diet in guatemala and throughout much of Central America is based on maize and beans and, as diversifying this has proved problematic, increasing the nutritive value and yields of these crops is seen as...2018
Aplicación de las TI’s a la Cadena de Valor Agrícola para Productores de Agricultura Protegida
El presente trabajo muestra la importancia del uso de las TI’s (Tecnologías de la Información) como herramientas de consulta para los productores en mediana y pequeña escala de agricultura protegida; donde se establece la necesidad de acceder a portales en internet o aplicaciones móviles, que provean de información acerca de precios de mercados, alertas de clima y plagas, centros de investigación, financiamientos, apoyos gubernamentales, proveedores de insumos y de servicios, requisitos de clientes, casos de éxito, etc., y de esta manera puedan tomar decisiones que les permita proyectar sus fu...2018
Angola: A story of change. From farm to agri-business
Angola has so much potential as an agricultural country, with up to 50 million hectares that could be cultivated. But why is it not being cultivated now? “It is simply a case of lack of will – political will in strengthening sectorial strategies and providing resources for those who live from this activity,” said Somacumbi. “government policy is to help farmers, but little is actually done.” He hopes that through the policy dialogue that CDAIS is facilitating in 2018, the views of farmers like himself and his fellow fazendeiros will be heard loud and clear at a higher political level....2018
Strengthening plant health systems to improve nutrition and livelihoods
The presentation was delivered to a conference entitled "Science Protecting Plant Health" in Brisbane on September 26th 2017 and then in private policy briefings to ACIAR (Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research) and DAWR (Australian Government Department of Agriculture) in Australia. The presentation includes description of the role of the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP) and case study examples from CABI’s work to describe capacity building at the levels of individual, organisation and enabling environment.2017
Ethiopia: Stories of change. The need for seed - subtle changes
To ensure food security, farmers must have access to quality seed, in adequate quantities. The government of Ethiopia acknowledges this, and has responded by investing in improving the seed sector. However, as this example shows, not all challenges can be overcome by technical training and new technologies alone. A large seed cooperative union was faced with a problem that affected its very existence. And the solution was not technical. CDAIS became engaged, and now they are making concrete steps towards resolving the issue – which will have much broader knock-on benefits for all farmers...2017
