La presente Cartilla ilustrada sobre Compras Públicas de la Agricultura Familiar (CPAF) compila información básica para el uso y promoción de esta herramienta en un solo documento. Cómo funcionan las Compras Públicas de la Agricultura Familiar, cuáles son sus normativas, cuáles los roles de los actores protagónicos que intervienen en el proceso y cuál es el potencial de desarrollo que ofrecen territorialmente son algunas interrogantes que este material informativo intenta responder.
The overall objective of the Comprehensive Assessment of the Agricultural Sector (CAAS) is to provide an evidence base to enable appropriate strategic policy responses by the Government of Liberia (GoL) and its development partners in order to maximize the contribution of the agriculture sector to the Government's overarching policy objectives. Given the strong relationship between growth in agricultural productivity and poverty reduction, future efforts in Liberia need to focus on productivity enhancing measures with a pro-poor focus that increase incomes.

Les agricultures familiales constituent la très grande majorité des agricultures du monde, la première source d’emploi en milieu rural et le premier fournisseur de biens alimentaires. Elles sont à l’honneur sur la scène internationale avec la proclamation par l’Organisation des Nations Unies de l’année 2014 « Année internationale de l'agriculture familiale » ; c’est l’occasion pour la communauté scientifique d’Agropolis International de témoigner de son fort engagement, depuis de nombreuses années, en matière de recherche « sur » et « pour » les agricultures familiales.
Esta presentación muestra como la historieta puede ser un medio de divulgación del conocimiento agrícola para los productores.
Se indagan las respuestas de comunidades campesinas indígenas a las variaciones climáticas locales a partir de un caso en Chilchota, Michoacán, México. Es importante conocer los procesos emergentes que afectan la capacidad de producir parte de sus alimentos, en tanto que pueden elevar más el contexto de vulnerabilidad de dichas comunidades. Se presentan siete tipos de adaptaciones de los campesinos, los factores que inciden en la capacidad adaptativa y las diferenciaciones socio-productivas de los agricultores.
The merger of Dow and DuPont, the acquisition of Syngenta by Chem- China, and the acquisition of Monsanto by Bayer have recently reshaped the global seed and biotech industry and caused concern about growing mar- ket concentration. This review documents market concentration in seed and agricultural biotech markets and discusses its causes and impacts. The avail- able evidence suggests that concentration in seed markets varies strongly by crop and by country, while markets for biotech traits are considerably more concentrated.
Les enjeux liés au changement climatique et à la sécurité alimentaire confortent la nécessité de mettre au point des démarches de conception/évaluation de systèmes durables, qu’il s’agisse d’améliorer les situations existantes ou d’imaginer de nouvelles voies de développement. En régions chaudes, l’élevage remplit aussi des fonctions non productives et doit s’adapter aux aléas et incertitudes.
The aim of this document is to produce a state-of-the-art of the academic literature in order to identify theories and concepts available for: a) describing the structure, the dynamics and the functioning of agricultural advisory services; b) understanding how these services are embedded into national Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS), and into various agricultural and rural policies across the European Union (EU) countries; c) providing some conceptual elements to support the methodology for an inventory of agricultural advisory services in EU 27 countries (WP3 of the PR
