Depuis plusieurs années déjà, La Vía Campesina et GRAIN dénoncent le système d'alimentation agroindustriel qui cause la moitié des émissions de gaz à effet de serre de la planète. Mais les gouvernements refusent de s'attaquer sérieusement à ces problèmes. Cette nouvelle vidéo de La Vía Campesina et GRAIN décrit les éléments nécessaires pour comprendre les effets du système agroindustriel sur notre climat et nous explique en même temps comment nous pouvons agir pour renverser la vapeur et commencer à refroidir la planète.
Une nouvelle vidéo montre comment les paysannes en Afrique de l’Ouest travaillent pour protéger la production traditionnelle d’huile de palme face à l'impact destructeur de l'expansion des plantations industrielles de palmiers à huile.
« Semences en résistance » est une animation développée dans le cadre du documentaire « Semences : bien commun ou propriété des entreprises ? », réalisé en 2017 par un collectif d'organisations latino-américaines qui œuvrent, à l’échelle de tout le continent, à la défense des semences indigènes comme fondement de la souveraineté alimentaire des peuples. Nous partageons aujourd'hui cette animation afin d’en faire un outil supplémentaire pour vous former et former les autres sur cette problématique.
"Seeds in resistance" is an animation developed in connection with the documentary "Seeds: commons or corporate property?", produced in 2017 by a collective of Latin American organisations from all across the continent that are working to defend native seeds as the basis of peoples' food sovereignty. We are sharing this animation as one more tool to help people understand and become familiar with these issues.
The capacity of existing monitoring and decision making tools in generating evidence about the performance of R4D with multi-stakeholder processes, such as innovation platforms (IPs), public private partnerships (PPP), participatory value chain management (PVCM) is very limited. Results of these tools are either contextual and qualitative such as case studies that can not be used by other R4D interventions or quantitative i.e. impact assessments that do not inform what works in R4D.
This presentation sets out a future research agenda for research on agricultural extension and advisory services, under influence of sustainability transitions and disruptive technologies such as digital agriculture technology, and synthetic foods.

This report describes the findings of the country study carried out for the design of IFAD project on Restoration of Landscapes and Livelihoods (ROLL P) in Lesotho. Following an IFAD designed project to develop an integrated approach for designing climate-smart and nutrition-sensitive investments, support was provided to undertake a thorough situation analysis for climate, nutrition and their interlinkages and to identify potential pathways and interventions to achieve both climate action and nutrition outcomes.
This report describes the findings of the country study carried out for the design of IFAD Smallholder Agriculture Cluster Project (SACP) in Zimbabwe. Following an IFAD designed project to develop an integrated approach for designing climate-smart and nutrition-sensitive investments, support was provided to undertake a thorough situation analysis for climate, nutrition and their interlinkages and to identify potential pathways and interventions to achieve both climate action and nutrition outcomes.
This chapter documents the learning process within the framework of innovation of soil fertility management practices that emerged from the implementation of Participatory Extension Approach (PEA) as part of service delivery reorientation within the Limpopo Department of Agriculture in South Africa.The chapter gives a narrative description of what transpired during the interaction between researchers, extension officers and farmers, the processes involved, the lessons and the conclusion.
Food security is predicted toface considerable challenges in the upcoming period. This couldbe more profound in developing countries due to rapid societal change and ecological pressure in theseregions. Concerted efforts to deal with these challenges areof great importance, including accelerating th euse of improved agricultural input technology (IAIT) such as high yield varieties of seeds and improved fertilizer formulas. This type of innovation is more suitable to being introduced amongst developing countries farmers in order to increase their productivity.
