Este trabajo busca evaluar el impacto de la primera fase del Programa Agroambiental Mesoamericano, a partir de la adopción de las tecnologías agrícolas propuestas por el PIH en el territorio del Trifinio (área fronteriza entre Honduras, El Salvador y Guatemala), desde dos aproximaciones metodológicas, una cuantitativa y otra cualitativa.
Este informe inicia con un análisis de sector agropecuario hondureño y la revisión sobre el marco legal e institucional que rige al sector agrícola. Luego, se analiza por separado cada uno de los cuatro rubros de producción (café, cacao, ganadería y granos básicos) en cuanto a políticas, leyes e institucionalidad propia en los sectores priorizados por el MAP II (Programa Agroambiental Mesoamericano II).
Este documento describe el El Programa Integrador de IICA a formosa que está estructurado con cinco componentes principales y un componente de apoyo: (i) Programa para el desarrollo de frutas tropicales y subtropicales (PROFRUTA-FORMOSA) y sus respectivos planes de acción; (ii) Proyecto de desarrollo productivo sostenible de la región oeste formoseño (iii) Programa para mejorar la competitividad de la cadena de valor de la ganadería bovina de carne ; (iv) Programa de desarrollo sustentable para los recursos naturales de los ecosistemas de Formosa; (v) Proyecto de desarrollo rural sostenibl
This study identifies, characterizes, evaluates, and validates promising agricultural innovations on wheat and faba bean crops along their value chains. It particularly addresses the following four research questions: ▪What constrains are likely to adversely influence efficiency, productivity, marketability, and market performance of wheat and faba bean in Ethiopia? What is the level and sources of efficiency and productivity of smallholder wheat and faba bean producers? Which innovations are promising to enhance productivity and profitability of wheat and faba bean along the value chains?
This report aims to analyse the rice innovation platform in Mali. Starts showing the most recent data about production, area, importation and exportation. Discuss about the importance of the rice in the Malian economy, describe the main frameworks of the rice sector including changes in policies and perform a deep analysis in the rice food chain of the country
This study presents detailed examples of how repeat Sénékéla users have changed their farming and marketing practices, and the reasons underpinning these changes. Data was collected through a series of semi structured interviews with repeat Sénékéla users. The findings of the case study serve to complement quantitative data about customer behavior change that was collected through a structured survey with 50 customers from Mali
The expected results of this report are the full understanding and identification of the frame that answers the following questions: To what level policymakers in Tunisia are committed? On what exact base the agricultural decisions, whether to support an innovation or not, are made? To answer these questions, interviews were made with key partners from public institutions on each success/failure case to identify the major strengths and weaknesses related to each agricultural innovation
The study is an attempt to identify the type and channels of acquiring agricultural information by farmers; and whether this information helps them in their decisions to adopt new and improved technologies, which can then be translated into higher yield. A unique two-period panel data sets that come from surveys conducted in 2011 and 2013 by the Central Statistical Agency in collaboration with Ethiopian Strategic Support Program were used to evaluate Agricultural Growth Program (AGP)
The objectives of this study twofold (i) First to assess farmer's perceptions of IT and secondly (ii) to determine the major factors influencing farmer's adoption decisions. This study offers for policy makers important considerations that could stimulate and sustain adoption of these IT in Tunisian arid agricultural areas. The present study is based on the hypothesis that the farm adoption decision of farmers has no relationship with the type of technology
The objective of this paper is twofold. First, using a three rounds panel data of 7110 households, was investigate the adoption decisions and the complementarities among the four labor-intensive technologies (agricultural extension service, irrigation, soil conservation and planting seeds in a row) and a comprehensive use of four modern inputs (improved seed variates, inorganic fertilizer, pesticides, organic fertilizer) which have been frequently adopted by smallholder farmers.
