Pour accompagner les efforts d’adaptation au changement climatique couplé à la rareté des ressources en eau et promouvoir une agriculture durable à forte valeur ajoutée, la TIL est l'un des moyens les plus significatifs pour améliorer la productivité de l'eau en agriculture. Au Maroc, En dépit des efforts et incitations financières pour accélérer l’adoption de la TIL, les superficies actuellement équipées de cette technologie ne représentent qu'une part négligeable du potentiel.
This brochure summarizes key results of the work done by the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS) on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the center (1970-2020).
L’étude propose une série de mesures qui s’avèrent nécessaires et urgentes pour sauver, consolider et revoir le secteur agricole dans cette situation entourant le coronavirus en Tunisie, et ce, afin de pouvoir penser l’après-Covid-19.
En Tunisie, l’agriculture fait sa révolution numérique: Capteurs installés dans les conduits d’irrigation et dans le sol, colliers émetteurs au cou des vaches… Le monde agricole tunisien est en pleine mutation.
This manual provides a set of conceptual definitions and practical implementation protocols for knowledge and scaling hubs. Both concepts of knowledge and scaling hubs are developed to aggregate, leverage, and coordinate the efforts undertaken by pilot research project with larger development programs and local scaling dynamics.
The objective of this paper is to analyse the olive oil value chain (OVC) in the Governorate of Medenine (south-east of Tunisia) and the relationships between its main operators for an effective involvement and better performance and resilience of olive sector. Based on semi structured interviews and participatory multi-stakeholders’ workshops, OVC has been analysed and described. MACTOR approach has been applied to establish linkages among chain operators and activities in a partnership approach.
Also known as CD4AIS. This interactive guidebook brings together tools and resources to help practitioners design and implement capacity development activities with an innovation systems approach in mind. The guidance provided here is not prescriptive.
A worthy agricultural innovation system (AIS) is one that that helps an agricultural sector be productive, sustainable and resilient and facilitates reduction in poverty and malnutrition. How can an AIS be made resilient in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic is a question pondered in this note. The key issue will be continued strong investment in knowledge and technology creation that underpins growth in productivity and the active pursuit of mechanisms that make agriculture more resilient to the emerging environments challenges around the world.
This webinar on Precision Agriculture for Smallholders was organized in 2020 by the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) in collaboration with the partners Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa (ASARECA), Centre for Coordination of Agricultural Research and Development for Southern Africa (CCARDESA, West and Central African Council for Agricultural Research and Development (CORAF) and financial support of the European Union and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
Outlines of the presentation:
Rainfed agriculture accounts for more than half of the world’s food production but is facing increasing precipitation variability, driven by climate change. Achieving zero hunger will require improvements in rainwater management to increase productivity. About 45 percent of global rainfed cropland is still under low-input production systems. These are concentrated mostly in lower-income countries, which face multiple challenges in addressing the growing water shortages. Improved water management practices must be combined with the best agronomic practices for enhanced effectiveness.
