Les enjeux liés au changement climatique et à la sécurité alimentaire confortent la nécessité de mettre au point des démarches de conception/évaluation de systèmes durables, qu’il s’agisse d’améliorer les situations existantes ou d’imaginer de nouvelles voies de développement. En régions chaudes, l’élevage remplit aussi des fonctions non productives et doit s’adapter aux aléas et incertitudes.
Depuis plusieurs décennies, la canne et la banane, monocultures fortement dépendantes des intrants, façonnent le paysage guadeloupéen de manière binaire : canne au Nord et banane au Sud. Depuis quelques années la production de bananes est dans une situation difficile avec l’évolution rapide du cadre régle- mentaire et du fonctionnement du marché de la banane. Les planteurs et les organisations agricoles doivent réfléchir à une nouvelle orientation des itinéraires techniques conventionnels.
This tool helps the design of comprehensive capacity development interventions aimed at strengthening mainly functional capacities. The purpose of this tool is to provide an overview of the different options in terms of capacity development modalities that an innovation partnership can consider while developing the action plan.
The Outcome mapping factsheet provides a series of steps to gather information on the outcomes of the process initiated by capacity development for agricultural innovation. This tool provides an overview of the outcome mapping methodology used for planning and assessing projects/programmes oriented towards change and social transformation. A simplified version (three stages and 10 steps) is proposed, based on the original IDRC methodology and experiences from the application in the CDAIS project.
This tool is designed for reviewing the partnership to assess whether it is achieving the goals of the individual actors or partner organisations. It is essentially a ‘health check’ of the innovation partnership. This tool can offer an opportunity to the partners to reflect on the value of the partnership from their own organization’s perspective. It also helps to assess what-if any- changes would improve the effectiveness of the partnership and to agree as a group to any revisions to the partnership agreement taking into account the findings of the review process.
Esta guía es el resultado de un primer ciclo de econegocios impulsado por el MAP en la región de Trifinio (Guatemala, El Salvador y Honduras), por medio de su Proyecto Innovaciones en Cadenas de Valor Sostenibles.
Este documento tiene como propósito brindar recomendaciones para integrar el enfoque de género y equidad en las empresas rurales asociativas. Están basadas en la experiencia de MAP Noruega con la Escuela de Formación Empresarial (EFET), en la estrategia de género y equidad de MAP y en otras experiencias reportadas en la literatura sobre este mismo tema.
Este programa está basado en una lógica de intervención productiva, que orienta y privilegia sus acciones y esfuerzos a la creación y fortalecimiento de cadenas de valor específicas. Durante su ejecución, el programa contribuirá a aumentar el nivel de competitividad de cada uno de los productos definidos y priorizados por las estrategias nacionales de desarrollo del Gobierno de El Salvador.
This volume is devided into three parts. The first part describes on-going
processes of change within, or aside, the socio-technical regime that we have
inherited from the modernisation and industrialisation process of agriculture,
which took part after the second world-war. The focus in this part is on studies
dealing with the issue of agro-ecological initiatives born in niches of organic
movement, which are questioning the mainstream regime of industrialised
agriculture.
Innovations in the agri-food sector are needed to create a sustainable food supply. Sustainable food supply requires unexpectedly that densely populated regions remain food producers. A Dutch innovation program has aimed at showing the way forward through creating a number of practice and scientific projects. Generic lessons from the scientific projects in this program are likely to be of interest to agricultural innovation in other densely populated regions in the world.
