Este trabajo se planteó como objetivo contribuir al diseño de políticas públicas para favorecer la innovación del cultivo de maíz en la región Caribe colombiana mediante el enfoque de sistemas específicos de innovación.
Este trabajo tiene como objetivos analizar el potencial aporte de los SLE en la en la cogestión de la seguridad hídrica, energética y alimentaria y nutricional a partir de la experiencias de los municipios de San Juan Comalapa, San José Poaquil y Patzún.
Este informe inicia con un análisis de sector agropecuario hondureño y la revisión sobre el marco legal e institucional que rige al sector agrícola. Luego, se analiza por separado cada uno de los cuatro rubros de producción (café, cacao, ganadería y granos básicos) en cuanto a políticas, leyes e institucionalidad propia en los sectores priorizados por el MAP II (Programa Agroambiental Mesoamericano II).
El presente trabajo se propuso elaborar participativamente una propuesta de estrategia trinacional para la incidencia política en el sector agropecuario a partir del enfoque de Agricultura Climaticamente Inteligente. Para lograr lo anterior, se realizó un análisis de los actores territoriales vinculados con el sector agropecuario con el propósito de visualizar las oportunidades y potencialidades para emprender un proceso de incidencia política en el territorio, a partir de la construcción participativa de una propuesta de estrategia.
The first phase in the development of the Common Framework on Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation systems (CD for AIS) consisted of the review of the existing literature, building up a repository of relevant documentation on agricultural innovation in general and AIS and CD for AIS. This report summarizes this first phase. In particular, Section 1 covers this brief introduction. Sections two and three focus on the review of relevant literature, presenting the methodology used and the structure of the repository itself.
The key concepts and definitions of this brief provide a common point of reference to inform the formulation of the TAP Common Framework on Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation Systems.
African agriculture is currently at a crossroads, at which persistent food shortages are compounded by threats from climate change. But, as this book argues, Africa can feed itself in a generation and help contribute to global food security. To achieve this Africa has to define agriculture as a force in economic growth by: advancing scientific and technological research; investing in infrastructure; fostering higher technical training; and creating regional markets.
Recently, Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKISs) have gained considerable attention in scientific and political forums in the European Union (EU). AKIS is considered a key concept in identifying, analysing and assessing the various actors in the agricultural sector as well as their communication and interaction for innovation processes. Using qualitative expert interviews and organizational mapping, the features of national AKISs were investigated in selected EU member states (Belgium, France, Ireland, Germany, Portugal and the UK).
This brief explores the definition of Agricultural Knowledge and Information System (AKIS) and the inventory of AKIS in Europe.
This report provides summary findings and conclusions from a set of five case studies examining the scaling up of pro-poor agricultural innovations through commercial pathways in developing countries.
