Este video ilustra los objetivos y el trabajo de la Plataforma de la Agricultura Tropical (TAP), una iniciativa del Grupo de los Veinte (G20) respaldada por la Unión Europea para mejorar la eficiencia y eficacia de los programas de desarrollo de capacidades y el intercambio de conocimientos con el fin de fortalecer los sistemas de innovación agrícola en los trópicos y subtrópicos. La Secretaría de la TAP está albergada en la Unidad de Investigación y Extensión de la Oficina de Innovación de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO).
Esta tesis busca facilitar el proceso participativo de desarrollo y fortalecimiento de la cadena de valor del ramón (Brosimum alicastrum Swartz), con enfoque de inclusión y equidad, que contribuya con los esfuerzos de conservación de biodiversidad y desarrollo local en la Reserva de la Biosfera Maya. Tiene como objetivo especifico 1. Diagnosticar de forma participativa la cadena de valor (CdV) de la semilla de ramón (Brosimum alicastrum Swartz). 2.
Improved Productivity and Market Success (IPMS) of Ethiopian Farmers is a five‐year project funded by Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and being implemented by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). The project focuses on the development of new approaches and processes for: development of market oriented agriculture emphasizing marketable commodities; knowledge management; and innovation capacity development.
Applied Research and Innovation Systems in Agriculture (ARISA) was implemented by CSIRO in collaboration with Indonesian partners. This multi-year program seeks to strengthen collaboration between public research organisations and agribusinesses in order to incubate and deliver technology and business solutions appropriate to smallholder farmers. The geographic focus of the program was Eastern Indonesia.
This learning module on Applying innovation system concept in agricultural research for development has been prepared to serve as a tool in achieving the objective of strengthening the capacity of project staff and other researchers and actors who are believed to have a key role to play in ushering in market-led agricultural transformation. This includes national, regional, international and private sector agricultural researchers, university lecturers, and others engaged in biophysical as well as social science research.
In 2011, the Platform for African European Partnership on Agricultural Research for Development (PAEPARD) launched the Users-led Process (ULP) to better articulate users’ needs in a multi-stakeholder research and innovation (R&I) partnership. The ULP comprises six critical steps: (1) Identification of a federating theme; (2) Desk review; (3) Introduction workshop; (4) Multi-stakeholder research question inception workshop; (5) Concept note development; (6) Full proposal development.
L’agriculture est aujourd’hui interpellée par la société, qui exige bien plus qu’une simple production alimentaire : aliments de qualité, services environnementaux, insertion de populations marginalisées, revitalisation des territoires ruraux, habitabilité des milieux urbains, développement de productions énergétiques… Cette ouverture des futurs agricoles incite les acteurs ruraux à expérimenter de nouveaux systèmes de production et valorisation, faisant ainsi preuve de créativité et d’obstination pour exister face aux modèles de développement dominants.
In order to facilitate improved returns to research and development in African agriculture, the innovation systems approach which engenders the involvement of multiple stakeholders in its innovation pathway, has been proposed. Despite the potential of this approach, the understanding of its implementation and particularly of the process of setting up its multi-stakeholder platform is still largely lacking. Yet, this platform is critical to the success and sustainability of the operations of the platform.
This publication represents a synthesis of assessments of national agricultural innovation systems in countries of Central Asia, South Caucasus and Turkey. The first chapter gives an introduction of the project “Capacity Development for Analysis and Strengthening of Agricultural Innovation Systems in Central Asia and Turkey”, out of which the current publication reports about one of the project outputs achieved.
Des investisseurs publics et privés, nationaux ou étrangers, lancent des programmes d’acquisition, de location ou d’utilisation contractuelle de terres agricoles dans des pays disposant de ressources foncières bon marché, où le marché foncier relève généralement de l’État (Afrique, Asie centrale, Amérique du Sud). Cette tendance s’est accélérée à la suite de la crise alimentaire du printemps 2008, puis de la crise fi nancière. Selon la FAO, entre 20 et 30 millions d’hectares de terres auraient fait l’objet de transactions ces dernières années.
