El objetivo del presente trabajo consistió en destacar la importancia de la innovación como alternativa para resolver la situación de baja tasa de pariciones en los sistemas de cría de becerros en México. Para ello, se analizó información publicada en diversas fuentes, así como obtenida en visitas a distintas unidades de producción
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
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.

Mark Holderness, GFAR Executive Secretary, was invited as a moderator for the Network development meeting of the Eurasian Centre for Food Security (ECFS) in Moscow, Russian Federation, from 18 to 20 November 2013. Dr Holderness gave a keynote presentation titled "Shaping the future together: Transforming agricultural research, education, extension and enterprise for development" summarizing the rationale for the changes agreed in the GCARD Road Map and then taken up by the wide range of stakeholders delivering the GFAR Medium Term Plan.
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 summarizes lessons learned as a result of developing Information and knowledge systems in Egypt in the last years. The lessons are classified on the main topics discussed in International Consultation on Agricultural Research for Development and Innovation held in December 2009 in ICRISAT. Th
This presentation at the GCARD Montpellier, in March 2010, focuses on the Danish model for agricultural advisory services.
This presentation on a FAO and GFRAS study, on occasion of the Global Conference on Agricultural Research for Development (GCARD) held in March 2010 in Montpellier, deals with the core challenges to extension and the relationship between research and extension
This presentation was realized for the GFAR workshop on "Adoption of ICT Enabled Information Systems for Agricultural Development and Rural Viability" (at IAALD-AFITA-WCCA World Congress, 2008). It presents lessons learned through linking research to extension, including examples from projects in Nigeria, Colombia, Uganda ,Costa Rica, Egypt and Bhutan.
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.
