L’étude propose une série de mesures qui s’avèrent nécessaires et urgentes pour sauver, consolider et revoir le secteur agricole dans cette situation entourant le coronavirus en Tunisie, et ce, afin de pouvoir penser l’après-Covid-19.
En Tunisie, l’agriculture fait sa révolution numérique: Capteurs installés dans les conduits d’irrigation et dans le sol, colliers émetteurs au cou des vaches… Le monde agricole tunisien est en pleine mutation.
L’économie tunisienne a subi de plein fouet les effets de la crise sanitaire Covid-19 et des mesures indispensables pour la juguler prises par les pouvoirs publics comme la fermeture des frontières et le confinement de la population. L’agriculture a dû faire face aux mêmes difficultés ; toutefois, la courte durée du confinement total et la décision des autorités d’exclure les activités agricoles de certaines restrictions ont réduit les effets de la crise sanitaire sur la disponibilité des produits alimentaires.
La maladie du covid-19 est devenue une pandémie qui a engendré une crise économique mondiale sans précédent. Cette crise a remis en cause la stabilité des équilibres assurant la sécurité alimentaire mondiale. Les modes de production et de consommation se trouvent aujourd’hui questionnés. Cette pandémie met en exergue les faiblesses et les inégalités existantes dans les systèmes de la santé ainsi que dans les systèmes agricoles et alimentaires.
Literature is scanty on how public agricultural investments can help reducing the impact of future challenges such as climate change and population pressure on national economies. The objective of this study is to assess the medium and long-term effects of alternative agricultural research and development investment scenarios on male and female employment in 14 African countries. The authors first estimate the effects of agricultural investment scenarios on the overall GDP growth of a given country using partial and general equilibrium models.
Within agricultural innovation systems (AIS), various stakeholder groups inevitably interpret ‘innovation’ from their own vantage point of privilege and power. In rural developing areas where small-scale and subsistence farming systems support livelihoods, dominant policy actors often focus heavily on participatory modernization and commercialization initiatives to enhance productivity, access, and quality. However, existing social hierarchies may undermine the potential of such initiatives to promote inclusive and sustainable farmer-driven innovation.
There is a broad consensus that farmers are not simply recipients of promoted techniques: rather, they are also an important source of agricultural innovations. They invent farm tools and equipment, develop new crop varieties, and add value to externally promoted technologies. When scouting, documenting and promoting such farmer-generated innovations, the thorny issue of intellectual property rights (IPRs) often emerges.
