La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo caracterizar los esquemas de innovación tecnológica y su transferencia en las agroempresas frutícolas del estado de Michoacán; para ello se mapeó una red de 137 nodos del sistema–producto guayaba de la región oriente de la entidad. Con el software Keyplayer 2, se calcularon los tres actores clave difusores y estructuradores, y con NetDraw se determinaron los actores conformantes de la red primaria, ello hizo un total de 33 nodos entrevistados.

This report summarizes and consolidates the findings of three Bank studies on poverty issues in Mexico, written as part of the second phase of this work: Urban Poverty, Rural Poverty, and Social Protection. It also expands on how Mexico will seek to use social protection policy as a vehicle for redistribution. Discussed in Chapter 1, the state has a clear role in providing risk-pooling mechanisms where private insurance markets fail (e.g., old age and health insurance), but the role of social protection policy in promoting redistribution is more an issue of national choice.
En este trabajo se analiza la configuración del Sistema de Innovación del Sector Agroalimentario Mexicano (SNIA). La información generada en un taller con especialistas nacionales se sistematizó para construir una matriz que contiene el listado de actores relevantes en el SNIA y sus relaciones e intensidad de las mismas. Para clasificar la información, se aplicaron escalas ordinales y se calcularon los indicadores de redes denominados densidad y centralidad de grado, utilizando el software Ucinet©; también se efectuó un análisis gráfico de redes, utilizando el software Net Draw©

Global agriculture will face multiple challenges over the coming decades.

The development objective of the Sustainable Management of Agricultural Research and Technology Dissemination Project is to improve the institutional capacity and performance of the Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development (IAARD) to develop and disseminate relevant and demand-driven innovative technologies, meeting the needs of producers and of the agri-food system. There are four components to the project. The first component of the project is human resource development and management.
The report analyses the contribution to date of agricultural water management to poverty reduction and growth in the in sub-Saharan Africa region, the reasons for its slow expansion and apparently poor track record, as well as the ways in which increased investment in agricultural water management could make a sustainable contribution to further poverty reduction and growth.
