The Progress towards Sustainable Agriculture initiative (PROSA) is a framework that seeks to complement ongoing efforts on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and particularly indicator 2.4.1, to support country-level assessments using data already available at the national level. Making agriculture more sustainable – productive, environmentally friendly, resilient and profitable is fundamental, as agriculture remains the main source of livelihood for the majority of the world’s poor and hungry.
Cette document (Note méthodolgique pour l'analyse des chaines de valeur agricoles) combine:
- les réponse aux quatre Questions Structurantes en relation avec l'analyse des chaines de valeurs agricoles.
Question 1: Quelle est la contribution de la chaine de valeur à la croissance économique ?
Question 2: Cette croissance économique est-elle inclusive ?
Question 3: La chaine de valeur est-elle durable du point de vue social ?
Question 4: La chaine de valeur est-elle durable du point de vue environnemental ?
Tool 9 provides general information and examples on the latest developments, uses and applications in the area of food biotechnology, and it focuses on genome (or gene) editing. It also provides examples that could help users of this toolkit to explain genome editing, the difference between genetic modification and genome editing and the potential benefits of these new technologies. In addition, it supports users to highlight possible research and development activities ongoing in their own country.
L’équipe d’Analyse et de Cartographie de la Vulnérabilité (VAM, Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping) du Bureau Régional pour l'Afrique de l'Ouest et Centrale (RBD, Regional Bureau Dakar) du Programme Alimentaire Mondial (PAM) a lancé une initiative régionale sur le Genre et les Marchés afin de renforcer la collecte et l’analyse de données sexospécifiques sur les rôles, les défis et l’autonomisation des femmes et des hommes dans les marchés de neuf pays de l’Afrique de l’Ouest.
FAO Eritrea, in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture is implementing the national component of a global project entitled “Developing capacity in Agriculture Innovation System project: Scaling up the Tropical Agriculture Platform Framework”.
Le projet "Renforcer les capacités des systèmes d'innovation agricole: application et adaptation de l’approche de la plateforme d'agriculture tropicale (TAP-AIS)" vise à stimuler l'innovation pour la transformation des systèmes agricoles et alimentaires des pays partenaires en vue de mieux résister aux effets du changement climatique. Il intéresse ainsi le public technique ou pas, les jeunes et les media.
Dans de nombreux pays, les décideurs ont besoin d'informations pertinentes sur les systèmes d'innovation agricole (SIA) pour guider la formulation des stratégies et des instruments politiques de soutien à l'innovation.
Contract farming has gained in importance in many developing countries. Previous studies analysed effects of contracts on smallholder farmers’ welfare, yet mostlywithout considering that different types of contractual relationships exist. Here, we examine associations between contract farming and farm household income in the oilpalm sector of Ghana, explicitly differentiating between two types of contracts,namely simple marketing contracts and more comprehensive resource-providing contracts.
Individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds are increasingly engaging in research and development in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The main activities, although still nascent, are coalescing around three core activities: innovation, policy, and capacity building. Within agriculture, which is the focus of this paper, AI is working with converging technologies, particularly data optimization, to add value along the entire agricultural value chain, including procurement, farm automation, and market access.
Good governance of community fish refuge-rice field fishery (CFR-RFF) systems, which are a vital source of nutritious aquatic foods, is integral to the food and nutrition security of rural households in Cambodia. Intentional integration of nutrition and gender activities into CFR management has the potential to further bolster these outcomes. Using qualitative and quantitative data, we aimed to document the impacts of the nutrition and gender activities conducted alongside CFR management activities.
