Ce manuel illustre une méthode pour l’évaluation des projets de développement agricole, tout en expliquant:
- Ce qu’il faut mesurer;
- Comment mesurer l’impact des projets: quelles méthodes sont employées;
- L’évaluation systémique d’impact;
- L’évaluation systémique d’impact à l’épreuve des faits.
L’agronomie s’interroge sur la façon de co-développer de nouvelles propositions techniques et organisationnelles pour améliorer la production et le niveau de vie des populations. La Recherche-Action en Partenariat (RAP) est une démarche de recherche qui associe les acteurs locaux à la construction d’innovations. Le caractère imprévisible des stratégies des acteurs et la nécessité d’atteindre les objectifs de la RAP incitent les chercheurs à mettre en place des dispositifs adaptés à la situation locale.
Les exigences du marché s’accentuent progressivement avec la mise en place de systèmes de normes et de certification destinés à garantir la santé du consommateur, le droit des travailleurs, et limiter les impacts négatifs sur l’environnement. La production d’ananas dans le nord du Costa Rica est plus particulièrement concernée par la loi américaine sur le bioterrorisme et les normes EUREPGAP issues du secteur privé européen.
Les relations entre, d’une part, la nature des droits et la disponibilité d’un titre de propriété, d’autre part, la stimulation du marché foncier, l’investissement ou la productivité des facteurs, restent objets de débats. Cette relation est explorée dans le cas de la politique foncière algérienne qui en 1983 ouvre la voie à la privatisation des terres du domaine privé de l’État. Cet article discute l’impact de cette politique en termes de marchandisation et d’usage productif de la terre, sur la base d’une enquête conduite dans la wilaya de Laghouat.
Given the search for new solutions to better prepare cities for the future, in recent years, urban agriculture (UA) has gained in relevance. Within the context of UA, innovative organizational and technical approaches are generated and tested. They can be understood as novelties that begin a potential innovation process. This empirical study is based on 17 qualitative interviews in the U.S. (NYC; Philadelphia, PA, USA; Chicago, IL, USA).
The objective of the study was to outline the determinants of market awareness and participation in the Kaonafatso ya Dikgomo (KyD) scheme in South Africa. The study utilised a cross-sectional survey of a randomly selected sample of 116 KyD farmers in KwaZulu-Natal Province. A Logit model was used to analyse the data. The results show that more farmers are aware of farmgate market channels, but however, they tended to utilise auction market channels.
The agrarian system Analysis and Diagnosis is used for this study, the goal of which was to provide a corpus of basic knowledge and elements of reflection necessary for the understanding the Niayes farming systems dynamics in Senegal, West Africa. Such holistic work has never been done before for this small region that provides the majority of vegetables in the area, thanks to its microclimate and access to fresh water in an arid country.
To meet global demands towards food security, safety as well as sustainable agriculture and food systems innovative approaches are inevitable. Despite the growing body of literature in both innovation research and in values and aims, what has been explored to a lesser extent is the bridging link between these areas. This study represents a first step in addressing this relationship.
Iran faces environmental challenges such as erosion and extreme events, namely droughts and floods. These phenomena have frequently affected the country over the past decades and temperature rise has led to a more challenging situation. Iran started to implement national and provincial policies in the 1950s to cope with these phenomena. To provide an overview of Iran’s efforts to tackle land degradation and climate change, this paper examined through literature since 2000 the stakeholders’ policies, their interventions and obstacles to the mitigation of these environmental challenges.
Agricultural knowledge and innovation system (AKIS) has a strong potential to enhance economic performance of farming and contribute to agricultural sustainability, as it may increase synergies and complementarity among actors. This paper is aimed to develop a proposed framework to strengthen AKIS in the study area based on the results of this study. This paper explores perception and views about strengthening AKIS in Dakhalia governorate of Egypt by applying a multi-actor approach. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through face-to-face interviews and focus group discussion.
