Esta presentación muestra una solución sostenible para los pequeños productores y las familias rurales, particularmente por medio de nuevas tecnologías.
Este folleto explica que es el hub: la infraestructura fisica del hub consiste en un sistema de investigación (plataformas de investigación), implementación (módulos demostrativos) y difusión (áreas de extensión). Esta infraestructura forma la base para la construcción de una red de actores de la cadena agrícola - agricultores, técnicos, científicos, centros de investigación, iniciativa privada, prensa y funcionarios públicos, entre otros- hacia el objetivo en común, innovación en el sistema de producción para llegar a un sistema más sustentable, productivo y rentable.
A network of women farmers’ leaders is set to drive widespread adoption of innovations and technologies across India.

Holding a vision of Lifestyle for Environment (LiFE), and with a target of net-zero carbon emission by 2070, India plans to usher in a green industrial and economic transition through a movement with an environmentally conscious lifestyle. One of the credible options for a continuous, predictable, accessible and cost-free green energy source is solar power. In the agricultural sector, one of the key innovations in promoting solar irrigation was the initiation of the world's first ever Solar Cooperative - Dhundi Solar Energy Producers' Cooperative Society (DSEPCS) - in Gujarat, India.
Being the ultimate beneficiary of ecosystem services provided by on-farm agricultural biodiversity, the participation of farmers in its sustainable utilization and conservation is crucial. How much aware they are with the significance and conservation of agricultural biodiversity in order to improve their crop yield remains unclear, especially from the developing courtiers. Pollination is one of such ecosystem services, enormously contributed by the wild bees.
Agricultural communication to mitigate climate change enables information dissemination of both scientific knowledge (SCK) and indigenous knowledge (IDK) for practical farming. This research analyzed knowledge utilization and conducted community-based participatory communication to propose a practical agricultural communication framework for climate mitigation. Based on a qualitative method of data collection in Phichit province, the key findings showed that SCK and IDK can be mutually utilized to enhance the good relationship among the people and for the people with nature.
