El presente documento tiene por objetivo plantear sobre la base de la descripción de la cadena productiva, desde la recolección del fruto hasta la comercialización de sus productos alimentarios y no alimentarios, sus relaciones con otras actividades y productos en la canasta de bienes complejos territorializados.
El objetivo de este articulo es analizar la gobernanza de la cadena de la mora para hacer más eficiente su desempeño en el ámbito de los Sistemas Agroalimentarios Locales. Si bien la interrelación y coordinación entre actores se enmarca dentro de un programa gubernamental diseñado para tal fin, distintos factores, comportamiento del mercado, políticas macro y micro económicas y sectoriales, intereses de actores privados, condiciones de producción y de organización, determinan el proceso de toma de decisiones en la cadena.
El objetivo de esta investigación se centró en contrastar, como instrumento metodológico, el esquema teórico de los conglomerados para analizar la propuesta de los sistemas agroalimentarios localizados (SIAL) y derivar potenciales elementos clave de necesaria atención a la hora de promover un proceso evolutivo desde una actividad tradicional y semindustrial, hacia un competitivo conglomerado de agroindustrias rurales (AIR), ubicado territorialmente y sustentado en los atributos locales propios de cada recurso explotado y con las características distintivas de las relaciones establecidas por
En este documento se expone el estudio de caso de una empresa innovadora mexicana con capital familiar, en la que se observa la generación de capacidades tecnológicas y se exponen las estrategias seguidas.
This paper presents an overview of current opportunities and challenges facing efforts to increase the impact of rural and agricultural extension. The starting point for this analysis is in recognition that the days when agricultural extension was synonymous with the work of public sector agencies are over.
Livelihoods, food security, and development processes in Sub-Saharan Africa are highly dependent on land management practices to generate natural ecosystem goods and services. Out of a total population of about 717 million people, almost 60 percent depend for their livelihood on agriculture, hunting, fishing, or forestry. However, unsustainable land management already is leading to large-scale land degradation trends, which pose a threat to food security and poverty alleviation in Sub-Saharan Africa. Climate change threatens to exacerbate and add to the existing vulnerabilities.
Society’s learning capacity in the field of sustainable land resource management is at stake and more emphasis on knowledge management is needed to guarantee that the accumulated knowledge is shared in such a way that the right actors have appropriate knowledge at the right time to take the best decisions. Efficient policies governing structures for national and regional knowledge management need to be formulated and the working procedures of the various actors in the field need to be defined more sharply.

This brochure presents the UNDP approach to supporting capacity development and the policy statements that UNDP supports. These are backed up by ongoing research and analysis of capacity development theory, methods and applications. The services included are examples of capacity development initiatives that can be supported by UNDP or its partners. Additional UNDP resources on capacity development are listed at the end of the brochure.
Feeding an additional three billion people over the next four decades, along with providing food security for another one billion people that are currently hungry or malnourished, is a huge challenge. Meeting those goals in a context of land and water scarcity, climate change, and declining crop yields will require another giant leap in agricultural innovation. The aim of this paper is to stimulate a dialogue on what new approaches might be needed to meet these needs and how innovative funding mechanisms could play a role.
