Group work by participants in the SEARCA Forum-workshop on Platforms, Rural Advisory Services, and Knowledge Management: Towards Inclusive and Sustainable Agricultural and Rural Development, Los Banos, 17-19 May 2016.
This guide is developed by synthesizing successful field experiences within a project known as Improving Productivity & Market Success of Ethiopian Farmers Project or IPMS Project. The main purpose of the IPMS project was to test methods, approaches, and processes that can help transform Ethiopian smallholder agriculture from subsistence to a market‐oriented agriculture.
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.
Following the remarkable success of performance testing in the commercial sector, the Agricultural Research Council's Animal Improvement Institute (ARC–AII) initiated a beef cattle performance testing scheme for smallholder farmers in 1996. The scheme, which became known as Kaonafatsho ya Dikgomo (Sotho for animal improvement), has been running well in the Northern and North West Provinces and is set to spread gradually to the rest of the country.
This flyer is about the AgriFood chain toolkit, which has been launched in 2013 by the CGIAR programme on Policies, institutions and markets.The AgriFood chain toolkit acts as a clearing house and learning platform – using the power of information and communication technologies to bring together people and resources.
The workshop summarized in this report was proposed by the Africa Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation (Africa RISING) project and CG’s livestock and fish program, in response to a perceived need to strengthen the capacity of local partners and staff (including agricultural scientists, development practitioners and development agents/extensionists) to integrate gender in the agricultural interventions in the Ethiopian Highlands.
Innovation platforms are widely used in agricultural research to connect different stakeholders to achieve common goals. This brief deals with the gender dimension in innovation platform and is part of the series of ‘practice briefs’ intended to help guide agricultural research practitioners who seek to support and implement innovation platforms.
This brief deals with the importance of power and representation within in innovation platforms. The brief is part of the series of ‘practice briefs’ intended to help guide agricultural research practitioners who seek to support and implement innovation platforms. A contribution to the CGIAR Humidtropics research program, the development of the briefs was led by the International Livestock Research Institute; they draw on experiences of the CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food, several CGIAR centres and partner organizations.
