This presentation was made at the GCARD3 conference (third Global Conference on Agricultural Research for Development), jointly organised by the Global Forum on Agriculture Research (GFAR) and the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) in April 2016. The presentation focuses on the results achieved by FONTAGRO, a mechanism for agricultural innovation in Latin America and Caribbean (LAC).
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.

This volume presents a state-of-the-art overview of the rapidly evolving field of agribusiness, highlighting the most current issues, concepts, trends and themes in research, practice and policy. With a particular emphasis on technology, product and process innovation, the authors cover a wide array of topics relating to such issues as research and development, technology transfer and patents and licensing, with particular respect to the roles of academic institutions, private organizations and public agencies in generating and disseminating knowledge.
Most agencies supporting agricultural research in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) provide funds for discrete projects over specific periods of time, usually a maximum of three years. Research topics identified for calls for proposals are not always well aligned with users’ needs. In particular, research topics may not reflect the priorities of organizations - such as farmer organizations and private agribusinesses, with interests in the research outcomes; they are not generally supported to play a significant role as project partners.

En este artículo se brinda el procedimiento para implementar el Modelo de Gestión Tecnológica en la relación universidadempresa estatal ganadera cubana y su validación en el estudio de caso Universidad de Pinar del Río y Empresa Pecuaria Genética Camilo Cienfuegos. El procedimiento constó de cuatro fases, con sus correspondientes pasos (ocho); además, se identificaron 18 indicadores, considerados relevantes para la gestión tecnológica en la relación universidad-empresa, organizados en cuatro dimensiones: retroalimentación institucional, económico-productiva, ambiental y pertinencia social.
Good agricultural practices (GAPs) are an indispensable tool for risk management due to the close relationship between agriculture and climate, as well as the climate variability currently being experienced. The implementation of these tools, however, involves fostering innovation, increasing knowledge and giving stakeholders, small producers in particular, a holistic view, so that they may improve their production systems, increase their resilience, and ensure their sustainability.
L’enjeu environnemental pour les territoires croît de façon exponentielle depuis une décennie. Les décideurs politiques s’emparent de cette mouvance et favorisent des actions qui entrent dans le projet dit durable. La Région Île-de-France choisit en partie de baser son développement territorial sur l’idéologie de l’« urban greening ». Elle met en œuvre des actions pour devenir la première Écorégion d’Europe d’ici une demi-douzaine d’années et, pour ce, favorise les mesures agro-environnementales. Un des piliers de ce développement est l’agriculture biologique.
