Cet article analyse les conditions d’accès aux connaissances dans l’univers des politiques publiques agricoles et leurs conséquences en termes de verrouillage technologique sur des solutions techniques dépendantes de l’usage de pesticides. À partir de l’identification des réseaux d’action publique impliqués dans le développement de l’Agriculture de conservation (AC), il montre une situation d’inégalité entre acteurs pour l’accès aux ressources permettant de développer des techniques innovantes.

Year 1 activities were mainly on establishment of the project team at the global and country levels. A Partnership Agreement between AGRINATURA-EEIG and FAO was formalized and signed, and practical coordination mechanisms established. A Specific Power of Attorney between AGRINATURA-EEIG members within CDAIS was created, agreed and signed by all members, serving as the consortium agreement among members.
Owing to its devices that are the ember furnace, the fat collection tray, the indirect smoke generator system and the hot air distributor, the FAO-Thiaroye processing technique (FTT-Thiaroye), focus of this methodological guide, strengthens the functions of existing improved smoking techniques in small-scale fisheries.
Paper presented to the European Initiative for Agricultural Research and Development (EIARD), 12 January 2015.
This document provides an overview of the Tropical Agriculture Platform and highlights its main goals and activities.
While the Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI) initiative provides data and analysis of domestic public and private spending on agricultural research and development for a wide range of developing countries, the literature pays little attention, if any, to foreign assistance to agricultural, fishing and forestry research and agricultural extension. The objective of the present study is to fill this gap.
The study describes the historic development of the Danish Agricultural Advisory Services (DAAS). This is the case of a national advisory system owned and managed by the farmer organizations and financed with public subsidies combined with farmer/user payments, gradually developed to full user payment. The links and relations between the empowerment of farmers and their organizations, their evolving roles in advisory systems, and the innovative financial mechanisms in extension, especially pull-mechanisms, are analyzed.
