Las organizaciones de la Agricultura Familiar de Centroamérica y República Dominicana, tienen el agrado de presentar a las comunidades, pueblos y países de la región, a las instituciones públicas que han estado interesadas en este tema y a las organizaciones de la comunidad internacional que han creído y acompañado estos procesos la Política de Agricultura Familiar Campesina, Indígena y Afrodescendiente PAFCIA.
L’agriculture familiale produit aujourd’hui plus de 60% de la nourriture consommée dans le monde et emploie 40% de la population active mondiale. Elle joue donc un rôle majeur dans la sécurité alimentaire et dans la lutte contre la pauvreté. Ce document explique pourquoi on devrait s'intéresser á l'agriculture familiale.
El objetivo principal del estudio es describir el escenario actual y contribuir a articular una posición común para el desarrollo de la juventud en el ámbito de la agricultura familiar. Por ello, las conclusiones planteadas se trasladaran al trabajo de incidencia política sobre juventud de la campaña AIAF+101. El estudio se enmarca dentro de las líneas de acción del Foro Rural Mundial (FRM) para avanzar en el seguimiento y dinamización de la agricultura familiar.
Este compendio de documentos ha sido organizado y editado para ayudar a mantener la memoria, en una sociedad que suele tener una frágil recordación histórica que conlleva a creer que todo gobierno de turno debe comenzar de cero. Está dirigido a líderes agrarios, líderes comunales, promotores de organizaciones no gubernamentales de desarrollo rural (ONGs), a académicos e invesgadores universitarios y por supuesto a legisladores y funcionarios públicos.
Des changements dans les agendas des politiques publiques des Comités Nationaux de l’Agriculture Familiale des Philippines, du Honduras, du Burkina Faso et du Sénégal seront soutenus techniquement et économiquement. La création d’un nouveau Comité au Tchad sera également appuyée.
Following the remarkable success of performance testing in the commercial sector, the Agricultural Research Council's Animal Improvement Institute (ARC–AII) initiated a beef cattle performance testing scheme for smallholder farmers in 1996. The scheme, which became known as Kaonafatsho ya Dikgomo (Sotho for animal improvement), has been running well in the Northern and North West Provinces and is set to spread gradually to the rest of the country.
This book documents a unique series of 19 case studies where agricultural biotechnologies were used to serve the needs of smallholders in developing countries. They cover different regions, production systems, species and underlying socio-economic conditions in the crop (seven case studies), livestock (seven) and aquaculture/fisheries (five) sectors. Most of the case studies involve a single crop, livestock or fish species and a single biotechnology.
This report provides a synthesis of all findings and information generated through a “stocktaking” process that involved a desk study of Prolinnova documents and evaluation reports, a questionnaire to 40 staff members of international organizations in agricultural research and development (ARD), self-assessment by the Country Platforms (CPs) and backstopping visits to five CPs. In 2014, the Prolinnova network saw a need to re-strategise in a changing context, and started this process by reviewing the activities it had undertaken and assessing its own functioning.
In this book, the authors assessed the role of biotechnology innovation for sustainable development in emerging and developing economies. This book compiles studies that each illustrate the potential, demonstrated value and challenges of biotechnology applications for sustainable agricultural innovation and/or industrial development in a national, regional and international context.
Processes of designing for systemic innovation for sustainable development (SD) through the lens of three long-term case studies are reported. All case studies, which originated from the SLIM (Social Learning for the Integrated Management and Sustainable Use of Water at Catchment Scale) Project, funded within the EU Fifth Framework Program (2001–2004), constitute inquiry pathways that are explored using a critical incident approach.
