La innovación, producción y comercialización de un producto resultan de la interacción de una diversidad de actores. Así, el modelo de extensión hub del programa gubernamental MasAgro busca ser un espacio en el que agricultores, extensionistas, proveedores de insumos, instituciones gubernamentales y de enseñanza e investigación, entre otros, interactúen, con el fin de promover bienestar individual y colectivo a través de la innovación.
Este libro se centró en la construcción de los 17 focos de ciencia, tecnología e innovación que abarcan las demandas de la agenda nacional de investigación,
Para comprender el rol potencial de los psicólogos en la extensión rural se realizó una investigación cualitativa, de carácter exploratorio-descriptivo, centrada en la realización de cuarenta entrevistas a extensionistas del noreste argentino. Las entrevistas fueron grabadas y luego analizadas, de acuerdo con los principios de la Teoría Fundamentada, mediante el uso del software Atlas Ti
Heat-tolerant wheat varieties, developed by ICARDA and Sudan’s Agricultural Research Corporation (ARC), are helping farmers adapt to the heat stress, however, bringing higher and more stable yields. Farmers across the wheatproducing regions of Sudan are now achieving up to six t/ha over successive growing seasons.
ICARDA scientists along with CGIAR LIVESTOCK developed a cloud-based genetic database platform to boost breed improvement programs in community-based livestock breeding programs in Ethiopia.
- Lack of automated data capture systems affects timely feedback and accuracy of information for breeding decisions.
- CGIAR researchers and national research partners have adopted a digital genetic database, Dtreo, that is enhancing genetic improvement by providing timely and accurate animal ranking information to communities.
- Dtreo is a digital genetic database that is flexible and easy to use, that allows users to capture and save data offline. Data is uploaded to the database once an internet connection has been established.
Afghanistan-ICARDA programs have field tested a range of rural development approaches and practices. Many of these are ripe for scaling-up at national level and can contribute to the EU-Afghanistan National Priority Programs (NPP) 2017-2021.
The literature reviewed in this document is global in its focus to attend to broad trends in the field and practice of agricultural extension. We do not aim for an extensive literature review but to identify implications for not including gender, ways to do so, and means to move forward. The aim of this report to highlight the importance of gender integration into agricultural extension programs in various parts of the world in order to raise much needed awareness on the subject
Providing farmers with essential agricultural information and training in the era of COVID-19 has been a challenge that has prompted a renewed interest in digital extension services. There is a distinct gender gap, however, between men’s and women’s access to, use of, and ability to benefit from information and communication technologies (ICTs).
La presente investigación tiene como objetivo desarrollar el análisis de las tendencias de investigación como una práctica internacional de obligatorio cumplimiento para el caso de las actividades de I+D, donde el conocimiento del entorno tecnológico propende por sustentar y justificar la inversión de recursos humanos y materiales en distintos proyectos de investigación, a partir de la vigilancia tecnológica como herramienta de direccionamiento estratégico.
