El objetivo de la presente investigación fue analizar la estructura y el funcionamiento de la cadena productiva de carne bovina en el municipio de Tecpatán, Chiapas, México. Se aporta información cualitativa y cuantitativa orientada a comprender y consolidar las alianzas entre actores de la cadena productiva
El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo proponer aspectos fundamentales para la adopción tecnológica en el sistema bovino de doble propósito. Esta propuesta plantea que el proceso de innovación tecnológica se inicia con la descripción del objetivo de la unidad de producción y su situación actual, con énfasis en el área que se pretenda aplicar. Enseguida, se debe identificar, correctamente, la necesidad que se pretende resolver y la alternativa tecnológica más pertinente. Cualquiera que sea el factor que detone la necesidad de tecnificación, la inversión realizada debe ser rentable

AARINENA was established to strengthen cooperation among national, regional and international agricultural research institutions and centers to ultimately support the agricultural sector in its member countries. Women farmers significantly contribute to the agricultural development in the WANA region, but often remain invisible in agricultural research and knowledge transfer.
Starting with background information, the report presents a summary of the plenary presentations of the workshop, which includes a brief on the post-conflict and protracted crisis environment in the 15 participating countries (Rwanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Congo Brazzaville, Sierra Leone, Burundi, Ethiopia, Uganda, Central African Republic, Chad, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Conakry, Liberia, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan). Some countries like Afghanistan qualified all in one as conflict, post-conflict and protracted crisis country.
This presentation is on AgriVIVO, a project aimed at facilitating better networking of individual researchers and the organizations they belong to for better collaborations and less duplication of efforts.
How can education and training contribute to Africa’s agricultural growth potential? This paper examines the role of education to increased agricultural productivity and the key areas in which education and training policies, reforms, programmes and investments combine to set Africa firmly on the path to sustainable agricultural development.
