La Gestión de Tecnología e Innovación (GTI) juega un papel crucial en el avance del sector agropecuario de una nación, ya que promueve el mejoramiento de la productividad y competitividad en todas las regiones, consolidándose como una herramienta fundamental en su desarrollo. El propósito central de este estudio es proponer una nueva perspectiva en la gestión de la tecnología y la innovación para las Unidades de Producción Agropecuaria (UPA) de la provincia de Cotopaxi, presentando así una alternativa innovadora que busca resolver los retos existentes y futuros en esta materia.
La innovación se implementa en un entorno de objetivos de desarrollo productivo a través de un sistema que incluye incentivos, tecnología y redes público-privadas. El objetivo principal de este estudio es analizar la innovación en los agronegocios de El Oro y determinar cómo incide en la competitividad del sector agropecuario. La metodología utilizada en este estudio es descriptiva y documental, con carácter científico, además está enmarcada bajo el enfoque cuantitativo.
The Newsletter of the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP) provides regular updates on activities by TAP and its partners, on the projects and on upcoming events. This issue specifically refers to the period from January 2023 to July 2023.
This collection of posters from the TAP-AIS project illustrates key achievements of the project towards strengthening national agricultural innovation systems (AIS) in Africa (Burkina Faso, Eritrea, Malawi, Rwanda, Senegal), Latin America (Colombia), Asia and the Pacific (Cambodia, Lao PDR, Pakistan). For each of these nine countries, and for their respective regions, the posters provide: i) thematic focus and context; ii) constraints in the AIS; iii) capacity development interventions; iv) outcomes; v) the way forward.
Despite the concept's widespread popularity, the terminology surrounding missions can come across as convoluted. This is understandable, given that the term - which denotes ambitious, time bound, cross-sectoral and measurable policy objectives to address grand societal challenges such as climate change mitigation, biosphere restoration or tackling health inequities - has proven to be both deceptively intricate and remarkably versatile.
The OECD InDeF team developed a portfolio approach to innovation. A portfolio approach takes a balcony view on innovation which helps organizations align innovation processes, resources and performance with organizational objectives and enables them to track innovation with a view to scaling. Coached by the OECD team, Enabel colleagues in Benin, Morocco and Palestine piloted this portfolio approach by reviewing their current innovation supporting activities and investments against a set of key criteria.
The OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2023-2032 provides a consensus assessment of the ten-year prospects for agricultural commodity and fish markets at national, regional, and global levels, and serves as a reference for forward-looking policy analysis and planning. Recent surges in agricultural input prices experienced over the last two years have raised concerns about global food security. This year’s Outlook demonstrates that rising fertiliser costs can lead to higher food prices.
Les politiques d'innovation sont en plein essor dans de nombreux pays du Sud. L'innovation est considérée comme un moyen de concevoir des solutions viables et adaptées aux défis économiques, environnementaux et sociaux de chaque pays. De par la nature incertaine et risquée de l’innovation, une politique adaptée est nécessaire pour la promouvoir.
Le diagnostic orienté-action du système national d’innovation agricole au Burkina Faso a été conduit conjointement par la FAO et le Ministère en charge de l’agriculture dans le but d’éclairer l’action politique à court terme tout en proposant un cadre stratégique global et de long terme pour renforcer les capacités des acteurs du système national d'innovation agricole.
Water is scarce and pivotal for the Sahel, not only for increasing the productivity for millions of small-scale farmers but also for countering loss of arable land resulting from erosion and warming temperatures. A major barrier to the use of water in the Sahel is the lack of infrastructure and technologies – 45 percent of the population do not have access to water, and only 2 percent of arable land is irrigated (OECD, 2022).
