Este documento habla del programa Gira Educativa que busca mejorar la efectividad de los procesos de desarrollo en los territorios rurales, para lo cual fomenta la creación de habilidades y actitudes que les permitan a sus habitantes actuar colectivamente en torno al logro de objetivos comunes. Se parte de la premisa de que todos los seres humanos tienen la capacidad de impulsar cambios y adquirir nuevas habilidades, pero esa capacidad debe ser estimulada y fortalecida.
La FAO, IBM et Microsoft cherchent des moyens concrets et durables d’utiliser l’intelligence artificielle dans le respect des principes d’éthique approuvés par le pape François 24 septembre 2020, Rome - Lors d'une manifestation organisée aujourd'hui à l'Académie pontificale pour la vie, l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO), IBM et Microsoft ont réitéré leur engagement en faveur de la mise au point de formes d'intelligence artificielle (IA) qui soient inclusives et promeuvent des moyens durables de concrétiser la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle.
Good governance of community fish refuge-rice field fishery (CFR-RFF) systems, which are a vital source of nutritious aquatic foods, is integral to the food and nutrition security of rural households in Cambodia. Intentional integration of nutrition and gender activities into CFR management has the potential to further bolster these outcomes. Using qualitative and quantitative data, we aimed to document the impacts of the nutrition and gender activities conducted alongside CFR management activities.
The video (in Vietnamese language- English subtitles) tackles how to mainstream Gender and Social Inclusion (GSI in setting up a Climate-Smart Village (CSV). GSI should be integrated in the eight guide steps in establishing a CSV, such as: determining the purpose and scope of CSV; identifying the climate risk in the target area/s; locating the CSV in a small landscape; consulting the stakeholders; evaluating the CSA options; developing portfolio; scaling-up; and monitoring and evaluating uptake and outcome.

L’approche Champs-Écoles Producteurs (CEP) est introduite au Ghana en 1996, au Niger en 1999 et au Sénégal en 2000 via le projet « Gestion intégrée de la Production et des Déprédateurs (GIPD) » soutenu par la FAO.
This paper examines how the different institutional innovations arising from various permutations of linkages and interactions of ARD organizations (national, international advanced agricultural research centres and universities) influenced the different outcomes in addressing identified ARD problems.
Since the early 1990s, Uganda has implemented a number of reforms in the agricultural sector. However, in the past 10 years, the performance of the sector has lagged behind other sectors particularly services and industry. There are concerns among researchers and policy analysts that institutional constraints in agriculture play a central role in the lacklustre agricultural performance registered during the 2000s. This study examines the institutional constraints affecting agricultural production in Uganda.
A complex systems approach to innovation provides rich insights into the drivers, barriers, and key elements for innovation in rural systems. Through a case study of dry direct seeding (DDS) in smallholder systems in Laos, this article reveals a “perfect storm” of challenges and opportunities resulting in rapid adoption. Labour shortage, climate variability, and machinery availability are key factors.
“Business as usual” is no longer an option for a food-secure future. Pastoralism can be an innovative system: a time-tested, undervalued alternative to high-input and resource-intensive farming, and a valuable lesson for the much needed evolution towards ‘farming with nature’, with largely-untapped potential for income growth and employment in marginal areas.
