Los casos incluidos en el presente documento se construyeron a partir de información suministrada, mediante entrevistas, por personas vinculadas a las organizaciones socias de ACORDAR, que son las protagonistas de estos casos. La escritura de los 10 casos de éxito fue realizada por el Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) y retroalimentada por las organizaciones que suministraron la información y por Catholic Relief Services (CRS)
il est possible et nécessaire aujourd’hui d’opérer un bilan du développement durable (DD) en s’appuyant sur les formes concrètes qu’il a prises depuis plus de vingt ans. Malgré les discussions, interrogations ou critiques que le terme a suscitées, il est sans conteste, depuis la conférence de Rio en 1992, l’horizon normatif des projets, programmes et politiques d’aide publique au développement qui opèrent concrètement sur les territoires, et il accompagne maintenant les stratégies d’entreprise.
This paper comparatively analyzes the structure of agricultural policy development networks that connect organizations working on agricultural development, climate change and food security in fourteen smallholder farming communities across East Africa, West Africa and South Asia.
Development education, it combines various methodologies of education to promoting knowledge, so that agriculture sector needs development education to revive productivity through agriculture. ICT (Information communication technology) help to provide knowledge to the door step of farmers.
This report aims to o estimate the current use of machinery in rice and bananas value chains; To establish determinants of mechanization in rice and bananas along the entire value chains; and estimate the effects of the determinants on mechanization levels. This study therefore seeks to identify factors that influence
mechanization levels for rice and bananas value chains. The findings from this study will help provide technical and policy recommendations for the improvement of not only the rice and banana value chains but the entire agriculture sector
Learn about the Women’s Empowerment Farmer Business Schools (WE-FBS) implemented in Kenya through FAO’s Flexible Multi-Partner Mechanism (FMM). The approach prompts men and women to reflect critically on their roles, resources, and activities in farming, and to develop strategies that are needed to maximize their commercial potential.
The IFAD-NUS project, implemented over the course of a decade in two phases, represents the first UN-supported global effort on neglected and underutilized species (NUS).

Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), or FAW, is an insect native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas. In the absence of natural controls or good management, it can cause significant damage to crops. It prefers maize, although it can feed on more than 80 additional species of crops including rice, sorghum, millet, sugarcane, vegetable crops and cotton.
The determination of bunch features that are relevant for bunch weight estimation is an important step in automatic vineyard yield estimation using image analysis. The conversion of 2D image features into mass can be highly dependent on grapevine cultivar, as the bunch morphology varies greatly. This paper aims to explore the relationships between bunch weight and bunch features obtained from image analysis considering a multicultivar approach.
This guide is the second in a series of documents designed to support agencies implementing participatory agroenterprise development program operating within defined geographical areas.
