En el enfoque adoptado para el desarrollo del trabajo, se considera el concepto de Cadena Agroalimentaria en su acepción mas amplia, al tener en cuenta todas las etapas de producción/ transformación/ distribución mayorista/minorista; y referirse a productos que se consumen frescos como a los que sufren un proceso de transformación industrial.
Esta tesis se propone investigar la realización de las publicaciones escritas – Noticias y Comentarios- que se elaboran en la Estación Experimental Agropecuaria Mercedes –EEA-.
Este trabajo reúne cuatro profundos estudios sobre cuestiones estratégicas del sector agropecuario, los alimentos y la agroenergía en el país, a partir de una mirada detallada del escenario internacional y el lugar de la Argentina en él. El momento de su lanzamiento no podría ser más oportuno. Hoy el mundo, y con él la Argentina, enfrentan el desafío de satisfacer la demanda creciente de alimentos y, al mismo tiempo, garantizar su acceso a cada vez más personas, sin poner en riesgo el desarrollo sustentable ni la seguridad energética.
Recent studies in the literature examining impact of government seed price intervention on adoption of Bt cotton get different results depending on the specifics of the situation analyzed. According to one study, reduction in seed prices enables farmers to buy seeds at lower prices and this can result in surge of area sown under Bt cotton. The other view holds that seed price interventions have little impact on the adoption rates rather these interventions may adversely affect firms’ incentives to innovate. Which of the two views characterize adoption of Bt cotton in India?

Innovation intermediaries are individuals and organisations that enhance connectivity amongst constituencies of national, sectoral, and regional systems of innovation, thereby facilitating knowledge spillover. This paper articulates the whole picture of Indonesia's agricultural innovation system, with a special focus on how different innovation intermediaries play different roles in technology transfer and knowledge dissemination.
This research delves into the implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) among seven types of independent smallholders in Rokan Hulu regency, Riau province. The research area consisted of a relative established agricultural area on mineral soils and a relative frontier, mostly on peat. Smallholder types ranged from small local farmers to large farmers who usually reside in urban areas far from their plantation and regard oil palm cultivation as an investment opportunity.
Smallholder rice farming is characterized by low returns and substantial environmental impact. Conversion to organic management and linking farmers to fair trade markets could offer an alternative. Engaging in certified cash-crop value chains could thereby provide an entry path to simultaneously reduce poverty and improve environmental sustainability. Based on comprehensive data from a representative sample of approximately 80 organic and 80 conventional farms in northern India, we compared yield and profitability of the main rotation crops over a period of five years.
