Land tenure security is crucial for women's empowerment and a prerequisite for building secure and resilient communities. Tenure is affected by many and often contradictory sets of rules, laws, customs, traditions, and perceptions. For most rural women, land tenure is complicated, with access and ownership often layered with barriers present in their daily realities: discriminatory social dynamics and strata, unresponsive legal systems, lack of economic opportunities, and lack of voice in decision making.
This film describes the role of capacity development in accelerating adoption of new technologies and innovations in the CGIAR Research Program on Integrated Systems for the Humid Tropics.
Les populations africaines font partie des plus vulnérables face au changement climatique, du fait de leurs situations géographiques et économiques. Dans certaines régions du continent, où la variabilité climatique actuelle limite déjà la production agricole, le changement climatique pourrait l’inhiber complètement en l’absence de mesures pour adapter les systèmes agraires existants aux nouveaux contextes. Les paysans, qui représentent 70 à 80 % des agriculteurs en Afrique, seront très certainement les plus vulnérables face au changement climatique.
El presente documento se enmarca en el Proyecto “Estrategia de Extensionismo, red de instituciones nacionales e internacionales para proveer el sustento científico y tecnológico para el desarrollo de capacidades y extensionismo rural” y corresponde al entregable del Objetivo Específico 2.1, Documento con lineamientos a nivel político, estratégico y operativo que permitan avanzar en la incorporación de la perspectiva de género en las estrategias de extensionismo de la SAGARPA.
The term ‘systemic innovation’ is increasing in use. However, there is no consensus on its meaning: four different ways of using the term can be identified in the literature. Most people simply define it as a type of innovation where value can only be derived when the innovation is synergistically integrated with other complementary innovations, going beyond the boundaries of a single organization. Therefore, the term ‘systemic’ refers to the existence of a co-ordinated innovation system.
RIU is a research and development programme designed to put agricultural research into use for developmental purposes and to conduct research on how to do this. The programme is funded by the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID). It follows earlier investments by DFID in agricultural and natural resources research, supported through its renewable natural resources research strategy (RRNRRS). While this strategy delivered high-quality research, the uptake of this research and its impact on social and economic progress was modest.
This video illustrates the goals and work of the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP), a G20 initiative supported by the European Union to improve efficiency and effectiveness of capacity development programmes and of knowledge sharing in order to strengthen agricultural innovation systems in the tropics and sub-tropics. The Secretariat of TAP is hosted by the Research and Extension Unit, Office of Innovation, of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.
This video has been prepared by the Secretariat of the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP) to present to the G20 Agriculture Deputies Meeting 2021 the work and results achieved by TAP and its partners in 2020.
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).
Cette vidéo illustre les objectifs et les travaux de la Plateforme d'agriculture tropicale (TAP), une initiative du G20 soutenue par l'Union européenne pour améliorer l'efficience et l'efficacité des programmes de développement des capacités et du partage des connaissances afin de renforcer les systèmes d'innovation agricole dans les régions tropicales et subtropicales. tropiques. Le Secrétariat du TAP est hébergé par l'Unité de recherche et de vulgarisation du Bureau de l'innovation de l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO).
