Esta tesis tuvo la finalidad de contribuir al diálogo de saberes en la primera fase del proyecto piloto de ciencia abierta y colaborativa para la adaptación al cambio climático en el Bosque Modelo Reventazón, para lo cual se realizó un análisis de situación basada en el marco de los recursos y enfoque de medios de vida, para luego identificar los saberes locales respetos a temas claves desde la percepción de los participantes de los diferentes grupos y luego sistematizar la información, caracterizar las lecciones aprendidas del intercambio de saberes locales sobre investigación y adaptación
El trabajo de investigación se realizó en la subcuenca “La Suiza” ubicada en los Municipios de Montecristo de Guerrero y Mapastepec correspondiente al Estado de Chiapas, México, el fin fue definir lineamientos para manejo y conservación de los servicios ecosistémicos.
Este trabajo tiene como objetivo preparar participativamente una estrategia local de desarrollo sostenible bajo cambio climático en el municipio de Santa Rita, departamento Copán - Honduras, con énfasis en la comunidad de Tierra Fría No. 1. Para eso busca desarrollar un análisis del territorio en sus diferentes dimensiones (cultural, social, económico, institucional y ambiental) y caracterizar a los diferentes actores que integran la mesa de ambiente y producción (MESAP) de la MANCORSARIC, incluyendo la comunidad de Tierra Fría N.
The Feed the Future Uganda Agricultural Inputs Activity is to increase the use of high quality agricultural inputs in Uganda by increasing availability of high quality inputs to farmers in Feed the Future focus districts, and decreasing the prevalence of counterfeit agricultural inputs.
Climate change is threatening development gains and intensifying global inequities—putting peace and important gains in human well-being at risk.
Innovation is high on the agenda, in view of the deep economic crisis and the challenges of feeding 9 billion people in 2050 in a more sustainable way. For an effective and efficient response the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (Akis) needs to innovate itself and adopt new ways of working.
This paper, presented at the 12th European IFSA Symposium (Workshop: "Generating spaces for innovation in agricultural and rural development") in 2016, aims to summarise the main features of the AgriSpin project. The project is being financed by the Horizon 2020 research program of the European Commission aiming at contributing to system-oriented innovation research in agriculture and as complementary to the policy instrument EIP AGRI. The idea behind EIP AGRI is that innovation emerges from interaction between stakeholders.
The European Innovation Partnership for agricultural productivity and sustainability (EIP-AGRI), which can be perceived as a platform based on interaction among farmers, researchers, and advisors/extensionists, represents a useful tool for a better understanding of applied innovation processes.
Multi-actors networks are increasingly used by farmers to link between them and to be interactively connected with other partners, such as advisory organizations, local governments, universities, and non-farm organizations. Given the importance assigned to the agricultural innovation by EU resorting to the networking between the research chain actors and the farmers, a strong focus on enhancing the creation of learning and innovation networks is expected.
A challenge for researchers and other developers of new technologies in agriculture is to find ways of communicating their results and recommendations. This challenge is particularly acute in regions in which farmers have limited access to education and where illiteracy is widespread, such as in the rural areas of Mali. One approach that shows potential, yet remains largely unused by extension services, is the dissemination of educational video on mobile phones with video and Bluetooth technology, which are widespread in the region.
