Este libro en cada uno de sus capítulos presenta un caso exitoso de tecnología generada y transferida por el INIFAP en el Norte Centro del país, resultado de proyectos que han transitado por diferentes estrategias de transferencia de tecnología.
En la presente publicación, se describen los trabajos realizados durante los ciclos 2001-2002 a 2009-2010 para determinar el efecto de la labranza primaria sobre el rendimiento de trigo, en comparación con labranza secundaria a base de rastreo y su transferencia tecnologica
Este ensayo aporta nuevos enfoques sobre el desarrollo rural, así como algunas estrategias para que éstos sean exitosos como proceso transdisciplinario en el cual la relación entre la entidad ejecutante, los profesionales de apoyo al agricultor y las organizaciones de productores funcionen colaborativamente y constituyan un punto de partida para un verdadero progreso de las comunidades rurales.
Los casos incluidos en el presente documento se construyeron a partir de información suministrada, mediante entrevistas, por personas vinculadas a las organizaciones socias de ACORDAR, que son las protagonistas de estos casos. La escritura de los 10 casos de éxito fue realizada por el Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) y retroalimentada por las organizaciones que suministraron la información y por Catholic Relief Services (CRS)
Economic development and the successful transformation ofagriculture have been at the core of impressive change in countriessuch as China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina. This transformation has relied on substantial and effective investment inagriculture, and, in particular, building capacity in all aspects of agricultural change – from technology development and transfer through infrastructural development and the processing of agricultural commodities into consumer products.
Participatory varietal selection (PVS) is a recent approach increasingly being used in developing countries to make the farmers choose the best suited variety for their locality. Sugarcane Breeding Institute, Coimbatore implemented this participatory approach in M.R.K. Cooperative Sugar Mills Ltd., Sethiathope, Tamil Nadu during 2002 to 2006. Participatory rural appraisal and agro-eco system analysis were done with the participation of farmers to assess the situation and identify the needs of sugarcane growers.
Agroforestry (AF) systems have been the focus of numerous research and development projects in southern Africa, yet their adoption rate generally remains low. Employing on-farm, participatory research techniques in southern Malawi, was compared the suitability of three AF-based systems that relay crop the dominant staple, maize (Zea mays), with the perennial legumes Sesbania sesban, Tephrosia vogelii, and Cajanus cajan (pigeonpea).
Digital Agriculture is an “intelligent” computer management and application system that includes many high technologies of, such as infomationization, digitization, network, automation and more so on. On the basis of analyzing the main content and meaning of “Digital Agriculture”, this paper designs the system construction of “Digital Agriculture” based on Internet, and discusses the function and structure of main core modules of System of Digital Agriculture in detail. Finally, this paper also analyzes the developing trend about system of “Digital Agriculture”
Este trabajo describe diversos instrumentos de gobernanza en las universidades, que potencian su papel como agentes dinamizadores del Sistema Andaluz del Conocimiento (I+D+i).
Understanding how an innovation system emerges and develops is critical to its promotion and to ensuring successful innovation processes. Unfortunately, research on innovation system approaches has neglected the interplay between innovation and entrepreneurship and overlooked focus on how innovation systems occur. Based on a unique framework integrating the innovation systems concept and entrepreneurship theory, this study uncovers a process of innovation system formation: a self-organizing system of innovation based on a promising technology: the New Rice for Africa (NERICA).
