El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar el impacto que genera la cadena de valor de la producción de destilado de agave en el Margen de Utilidad Bruta, considerando el proceso productivo del mismo, desde el mantenimiento del cultivo hasta el envase para su distribución, por lo cual se consideraron los siguientes pasos: Definir la cadena de valor de la empresa y asignar los costos y los activos correspondientes a cada proceso de la cadena.
Following their first formation in Indonesia over 25 years ago, Farmer Field Schools (FFS) have served as a “proof of concept” of how transformative learning can help governments, donors and development stakeholders achieve development objectives. The FFS approach, which has now been used in more than 90 countries by more than 12 million small farmers (FAO, 2016), not only creates a space in which the practical needs of smallholders to solve production-related issues can be addressed but also fosters personal and community-level transformation through empowerment.
Este documento presenta la identificación de los canales locales de comercialización del mango ataulfo en el municipio de Huehuetán Chiapas, como un acercamiento a la propuesta del diseño de un sistema de comercialización más justo y equitativo utilizando como estructura base los lineamientos del sistema producto mango y su plan rector
El objetivo de este trabajo fue establecer una línea base que sirva como referencia para evaluaciones posteriores del impacto del programa mencionado en el estado de Coahuila. Para obtener la información de la línea base se siguió la metodología empleada por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO) consistente en la aplicación de cuestionario diseñado por la misma institución y complementados por la Entidades Consultoras Estatales (ECE) y los Comités Técnicos Estatales de Evaluación (CTEC).
Agricultural information is transferred through social interactions; therefore, ties to agricultural informants and network structures within farmers’ local neighborhoods determine their information-gathering abilities. This paper uses a spatial autoregressive model that takes account of spatial autocorrelation to examine such network connections, including friendship networks and advice networks, upon farmers’ knowledge-gathering abilities during formal agricultural training.
Applied Research and Innovation Systems in Agriculture (ARISA) was implemented by CSIRO in collaboration with Indonesian partners. This multi-year program seeks to strengthen collaboration between public research organisations and agribusinesses in order to incubate and deliver technology and business solutions appropriate to smallholder farmers. The geographic focus of the program was Eastern Indonesia.
We look at the trade-off between smallholder cocoa intensification and the ecosystem in Indonesia and investigate the determinants of environmental efficiency in cocoa production. In our analysis, we apply a distance output function that includes cocoa production and the abundance of native rainforest plants as outputs. Our data set, based on a household and environment survey conducted in 2015, allows us to analyze 208 cocoa producers with both measured and self-reported data. We find that the intensification of cocoa farms results in higher ecosystem degradation.
Innovation platforms (IPs) form a popular vehicle in agricultural research for development (AR4D) to facilitate stakeholder interaction, agenda setting, and collective action toward sustainable agricultural development. In this article, the authors analyze multilevel stakeholder engagement in fulfilling seven key innovation system functions. Data are gathered from experiences with interlinked community and (sub)national IPs established under a global AR4D program aimed at stimulating sustainable agricultural development in Central Africa.
Several posters have been created on the occasion of the 5th TAP Partners Assembly (Laos, 20-22 September 2017) to show recent activities and achievements in the eight pilot countries of the CDAIS project.
