El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar el impacto que genera la cadena de valor de la producción de destilado de agave en el Margen de Utilidad Bruta, considerando el proceso productivo del mismo, desde el mantenimiento del cultivo hasta el envase para su distribución, por lo cual se consideraron los siguientes pasos: Definir la cadena de valor de la empresa y asignar los costos y los activos correspondientes a cada proceso de la cadena.
Este documento presenta la identificación de los canales locales de comercialización del mango ataulfo en el municipio de Huehuetán Chiapas, como un acercamiento a la propuesta del diseño de un sistema de comercialización más justo y equitativo utilizando como estructura base los lineamientos del sistema producto mango y su plan rector
El objetivo de este trabajo fue establecer una línea base que sirva como referencia para evaluaciones posteriores del impacto del programa mencionado en el estado de Coahuila. Para obtener la información de la línea base se siguió la metodología empleada por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO) consistente en la aplicación de cuestionario diseñado por la misma institución y complementados por la Entidades Consultoras Estatales (ECE) y los Comités Técnicos Estatales de Evaluación (CTEC).
This document on Good Practices in Extension Research and Evaluation is developed as a hands on reference manual to help young researchers, research students, and field extension functionaries in choosing the right research methods for conducting quality research and evaluation in extension. This manual has been compiled by the resource persons who participated in the Workshop on ‘Good
This study assessed intermediate results of an investment intended to support climate change adaptation and resilience-building among farmers’ cooperatives in Rwanda. The assessment was based on a purposive sampling survey of farmers’ perspectives conducted in sites in 10 programme intervention districts of the country’s 30 districts.
These advanced training materials have been produced to foster the capacity of practitioners from private, nongovernmental and public sectors on one hand, and academics and scientists on the other, to practically implement cost-efficient RWHI technologies and practices in arid and semi-arid areas. Therefore, these training materials intend to provide the required information to support proper planning, design and construction of cost-efficient RWHI technologies and practices, with special emphasis on the specific problems encountered in Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
The CCAFS (CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change Agriculture and Food Security) annual report for 2016 describes impact through policies and partnerships, capacity development and innovative communication, breakthrough science and innovation and integrating gender and youth. It features regional highlights and publications, and lists the people involved, financial summary, and our donors.
Sustainable agricultural intensification requires the use of multiple agricultural technologies in an integrated manner to enhance productivity while conserving the natural resource base. This study analyses the adoption and impacts of sustainable intensification practices (SIPs) using a dataset from Ghana. A multivariate probit (MVP) model was estimated to assess the adoption of multiple SIPs. Moreover, we used a multivalued semi-parametric treatment effect (MVTE) model to estimate the effects of adopting multiple SIPs on maize productivity.
Between 2012 and 2016, in collaboration with research and development partners, ILRI undertook specific action research and capacity development interventions to address identified challenges and generate evidence for wider applicability along the pig value chain. The work was funded by three major bilateral donors, the European Commission/International Fund for Agricultural Development (EC/IFAD) and Irish Aid.
In developing regions with high levels of poverty and a dependence on climate sensitive agriculture, studies focusing on climate change adaptation, planning, and policy processes, have gained relative importance over the years. This study assesses the impact of farmer perceptions regarding climate change on the use of sustainable agricultural practices as an adaptation strategy in the Chinyanja Triangle, Southern Africa.
