Este libro recopila experiencias de innovación en procesos de extensión agropecuaria, en aspectos metodológicos, seguimiento y evaluación, gestión de la información y análisis de datos para la toma de decisiones; desarrolladas e implementadas por profesores, estudiantes y egresados de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias de la Universidad de Antioquia, con lo cual esperamos contribuir a la implementación del “Subsistema Nacional de Extensión Agropecuaria” en el marco de la normatividad vigente relacionada con el “Sistema Nacional de Innovación Agropecuaria”, creado por la Ley 1876 de 2017.
En este libro se recopilan experiencias en el uso de enfoques metodológicos cualitativos como teoría fundamentada, análisis de conversación, análisis de textos, estudios cualitativos de caso e historias de vida. También se recogen experiencias sobre revisiones sistemáticas o metanálisis como investigaciones cientícas basadas en estudios originales primarios, sobre el uso de técnicas de análisis multivariado, de sistemas de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM), de metodologías educativas, de formación y capacitación y de metodologías de extensión.
Este libro aporta a la gestión de hatos bovinos y a la mejora de la calidad e inocuidad de la leche por medio de la descripción y el análisis de la adopción de tecnologías digitales en la industria lechera.
Este libro tiene como propósito ampliar el campo de análisis, interpretación y discusión en torno a un modelo conceptual y empírico de articulación del enfoque de cadena productiva (Ley 811 de 2003), y de sistemas territoriales de innovación (Ley 1876 de 2016), mediante enfoques que permitan un análisis del cambio tecnológico y organizacional en las cadenas productivas, a partir de herramientas estratégicas, prospectivas y participativas.
This chapter describes the Swiss agricultural innovation system (AIS). It identifies the actors in agricultural innovation and their roles, describes the main trends in public investments in agricultural research and development (R&D), discusses the impact of agricultural policies on AIS, and describes initiatives to foster agri-food innovation. It also depicts institutional co-ordination between regional innovation systems (RIS) and the Federal Office for Agriculture’s (FOAG) advisory services at the canton level.
Mission-Oriented Innovation Policies (MOIPs) are one approach that can advance the required transformations. As our colleague Philippe Larrue noted in a 2021 paper, MOIPs are "a co-ordinated package of policy and regulatory measures tailored specifically to mobilise science, technology and innovation in order to address well-defined objectives related to a societal challenge, in a defined timeframe".
The publication is a part of the FAO work to assist the member countries in reforming their national Extension and Advisory Services (EAS). It highlights the main elements and provide concrete guidelines for the policy makers to coordinate pluralism in extension and advisory services (EAS), i.e. ensuring that multiple EAS providers from public, private sector and NGOs/donors, provide quality services that contribute to national agricultural priorities and wellbeing of rural producers, collaborate and exchange information to maximise synergies and minimise gaps and duplications.
This brochure presents the five-year TAP-AIS project (2019-2024) funded by the European Union under the DeSIRA Initiative and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. The project has the main objective to strengthen capacities to innovate in national agricultural innovation systems (AIS) in the context of climate-relevant, productive, and sustainable transformation of agriculture and food systems in Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Pacific.
This policy brief presents a methodology for assessing agricultural innovation systems (AIS), developed and pilot tested by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in the context of the Tropical Agriculture Platform, a G20 initiative to develop capacities for agricultural innovation in the tropics supported by the European Union. Using participatory, multi-stakeholder methods and tools, the assessment of a country’s AIS take stock of enabling and hindering factors in innovation processes, identifies gaps and challenges, and advices on ways to strengthen the AIS.
Over the past few decades, some countries in Asia have been more successful than others in addressing poverty and malnutrition. The key question is what policies, strategies, legislation and institutional arrangements have led to a transformed agricultural sector, effectively contributing to poverty alleviation and addressing malnutrition. The great majority of national policymakers within and outside the Asia-Pacific region are keen to understand the causes of agricultural development and transformation in successful countries in Asia.
