Este trabajo está estructurado en tres partes. La primera explica el marco teórico-metodológico en el que se realizó la investigación, así como el área geográfica a la que circunscribe; la segunda presenta las condiciones del surgimiento de los tianguis alternativos locales en México, su contexto y diversidad (orgánicos, agroecológicos, de agricultura familiar); y, finalmente, el tercer apartado, establece la reflexión sobre los mecanismos organizativos en los tianguis alternativos locales como procesos de innovación socioambiental
El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo abordar el tema y el debate sobre la noción de innovación social. Ofrece una revisión de la literatura reciente, los elementos más importantes del debate y se presenta lo que se considera como la clave para distinguir la innovación social de otros tipos de fenómenos sociales. Para esto se recurre a la acción colectiva como herramienta de análisis, y también se presenta un estudio de caso en que se aplicaron estás nociones.
El presente trabajo pone en relevancia la promoción del diseño y gestión de innovaciones tecnológicas para la resolución de problemáticas socio-productivas locales. Desde una visión de innovación, que intenta superar la óptica exclusivamente económica, se toma como caso paradigmático una experiencia de producción de hábitat desarrollada en la localidad de Concordia (Entre Ríos, Argentina). La misma, desarrolla colectivamente una tecnología asociada a sistemas constructivos en madera, con el fin de promover procesos productivos sustentables a partir de recursos y saberes locales.

Future technologies and systemic innovation are critical for the profound transformation the food system needs. These innovations range from food production, land use and emissions, all the way to improved diets and waste management. Here, we identify these technologies, assess their readiness and propose eight action points that could accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable food system. We argue that the speed of innovation could be significantly increased with the appropriate incentives, regulations and social licence.

The main objective of this paper is to describe the AgroFE and Agrof-MM projects. This projects aims to develop an agroforestry training system based on a common framework and core content, and to promote training at European level. The knowledge databank is a component of the project training system. It aims to gather and share a set of documents, resources that partners can use and which will have been accessed by learners and the public users.
This report aims to analyse the value chain of Organic Pinneaples in Uganda and to identify innovation opportunities in order to increase the market share of the product
This publication contains the compilation of different innovations generated on the plantain commodities from various Innovation Platforms. Its gives a succinct description of the commodity, its agronomy, production techniques, production trends, the role of the commodity in food chain and other traditional uses. The uses of the commodities and data on nutritional content etc. it also explicate the production processing and marketing constraints that could be manipulated to ensure increase in productivity and income.
