The objective of this study was to analyse the economic and environmental impacts of the adoption of climate change adaptation strategies on farm management in Benin. The data were collected from 371 producers. Descriptive statistics, pie charts and histograms were used to represent and characterise the different adaptation strategies depending on the climatic risks experienced on the farms surveyed. The flora analysis tool EX-ACT developed by FAO allowed to evaluate greenhouse gas at farm level depending on the adaptation strategies used.
This study was set out to describe the operation of the agricultural multi-stakeholder platforms and assess the impact of their activities on the production and revenue of the different beneficiaries. The required data was collected from 285 stakeholders using structured questionnaires. The econometric approach based on the Local Average Treatment effect (LATE) was used to identify the impact of the participation in the MSP activities on the revenue and yield of the producers
To establish an effective monitoring and evaluation system that would effectively measure progress towards achieving the project objectives and targets, different data collection methods including surveys, focus group discussions and participatory workshops were conducted. Data were collected to have an in-depth understanding of the constraints in the rice value chain and to identify intervention strategies for addressing the constraints through the value chain analysis approach.

Con el objetivo de reflexionar sobre criterios generales para la adopción y extensión de un modelo de producción lechera estacional en la provincia de Camagüey, se presentan consideraciones relativas a las posibilidades y potencialidades de la producción estacional de leche basada en las condiciones climáticas, características de los ecosistemas ganaderos y en el aprovechamiento más eficiente de los recursos disponibles.
The term 'Integrated Agricultural Research for Development (IAR4D),' first coined in 2003, acknowledges the complexity of the agricultural system and the need to bring together not only different related research disciplines but also multiple actors (private sector, public sector, producer organisation and policymakers) to find joint solutions to the challenges of agricultural innovation. The book is produced in response traces the evolution of the concept back to its roots in an impressive range of theories and approaches from diverse disciplines, such as constructivism, participatory acti
This study aims at exploring scaling up factors that determine the successful up scaling or otherwise of agriculture innovations in Ghana. This is done through a case study approach by analysing selected agricultural innovations to determine the strategies used to scale up as well as factors that account for successes or failures of the scaling up.
En este artículo se brinda el procedimiento para implementar el Modelo de Gestión Tecnológica en la relación universidadempresa estatal ganadera cubana y su validación en el estudio de caso Universidad de Pinar del Río y Empresa Pecuaria Genética Camilo Cienfuegos. El procedimiento constó de cuatro fases, con sus correspondientes pasos (ocho); además, se identificaron 18 indicadores, considerados relevantes para la gestión tecnológica en la relación universidad-empresa, organizados en cuatro dimensiones: retroalimentación institucional, económico-productiva, ambiental y pertinencia social.
El objetivo de este estudio fue fundamentar la propuesta de un modelo de gestión tecnológica en la relación universidad-empresa estatal ganadera cubana. Para ello se diagnosticó el 82,4 % de la población de cinco departamentos en la Universidad de Pinar del Río y el 45,4 % de los directivos en la Empresa Pecuaria Genética Camilo Cienfuegos. El modelo que se propone se concibió como participativo, continuo y flexible, con enfoque sistémico y estratégico; presenta cuatro fases para su implementación.
