The food security research project (FSRP) aims to contribute to effective policy dialogue, capacity building, and ultimately an improved agricultural policy environment in Zambia, through collaboration with government and the private sector. It achieves these objectives through in-service capacity building, applied analysis, and policy outreach. A hallmark of the Michigan State University/FSRP approach is the “joint products” approach, whereby training, applied research and outreach are undertaken collaboratively with in-country stakeholders and government counterparts.

Les exigences du marché s’accentuent progressivement avec la mise en place de systèmes de normes et de certification destinés à garantir la santé du consommateur, le droit des travailleurs, et limiter les impacts négatifs sur l’environnement. La production d’ananas dans le nord du Costa Rica est plus particulièrement concernée par la loi américaine sur le bioterrorisme et les normes EUREPGAP issues du secteur privé européen.
L’intégration de la conservation de la biodiversité à un développement durable est ici analysée pour la gestion de la zone tampon de la Réserve de biosphère du Parc du W. Trois gestions intentionnelles sont avancées pour anticiper une transition agraire et paysagère. Chacune d’elles s’appuie sur des capacités qui leur sont propres. Une gestion intégrée de type agro forestière est recommandée.
Des réformes institutionnelles ont autorisé la liberté d’association dans les pays du Maghreb. L’émergence et/ou l’essor d’un réseau ramifié d’organisations offertes par ces nouvelles politiques de développement rural ont multiplié les possibilités d’action autonome des acteurs sociaux dans la vie locale.
The paper is one of a series of research papers that are designed to timely disseminate research and policy analytical outputs generated by the USAID funded Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Security Policy (FSP) and its Associate Awards. The FSP project is managed by the Food Security Group of the Department of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics at Michigan State University (MSU), and implemented in partnership with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the University of Pretoria (UP).
The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Collaborative Research on Grain Legumes (Legume Innovation Lab; LIL), supports ten multi-disciplinary collaborative research and institutional capacity strengthening subcontracted projects working in 13 Feed the Future countries in Africa and Central America and the Caribbean involving scientists at 10 US universities, 3 USDA/ARS research centers, and 23 developing country national agriculture research systems and universities.
From November 1, 2012 to June 30, 2015, Michigan State University subcontracted Washington State University together with the University of Rwanda (UR) in order to deliver a gender sensitive Masters of Science in Agribusiness program at UR. The project had three specific objectives, to strengthen the human and institutional capacity of UR in teaching and applied research in agricultural sciences; to promote and support women's access to graduate education in agricultural sciences; and to extend UR's knowledge about, and women's expertise in, agricultural sciences to the community.
