According to the literature on regime transition, niches are sources of innovation that may lead to the transformation of the dominant regime, if processes at other level of the system – the landscape and the mainstream regime - are supportive. A focus on actors involved in the transition process and the analysis of their specific role in knowledge networks can help assessing the robustness of a specific niche and its growth potential. Knowledge systems, and in particular the dynamics of local and expert knowledge, have in fact a key role in innovation models.
The profound changes in European policy for farms advisory services (FAS) require a period of experimentation and results observation before the new CAP 2021-2027. This paper focuses on Measure 2 of Rural Development Programme (RDP) 2014-2020. The paper is focused on the description of case studies in three Italian regions: Campania, Emilia-Romagna and Veneto. Different Measure 2 – sub-measure 2.1 models are analyzed through a qualitative approach, using a conceptual framework adapted by Birner et al. (2009).

The European Innovation Partnership for agricultural productivity and sustainability (EIP-AGRI), which can be perceived as a platform based on interaction among farmers, researchers, and advisors/extensionists, represents a useful tool for a better understanding of applied innovation processes.
SALSA is an EU Horizon 2020 project that set out to assess the current and future role of small farms and related small food businesses (suppliers, processors, distributors) in achieving sustainable Food and Nutrition Security (FNS). SALSA studied small farms in 30 reference regions in 20 countries - 25 regions (at the so-called NUTS3 administrative level) in Europe and 5 regions in Africa.
SALSA est un projet Horizon 2020 de l'UE qui visait à évaluer le rôle actuel et futur des petites exploitations agricoles et des petites entreprises alimentaires associées (fournisseurs, transformateurs, distributeurs) dans la réalisation d'une sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle (SNA) durable. SALSA a étudié de petites exploitations dans 30 régions de référence dans 20 pays : 25 régions (au niveau administratif dit NUTS3) en Europe et 5 régions en Afrique.
Este documento trae herramientas de desarrollo de capacidades enfocadas en la abordaje territorial. Describe el caso de 25 municipios de Alta Verapaz, Baja Verapaz y Chimaltenango, Guatemala.
Esta tesis busca construir de manera participativa criterios para la selección de alternativas de manejo de sistemas agroforestales de café con sombra relacionadas al uso de la biodiversidad en La Dalia, Nicaragua.
Este panfeto describr las experiencias del Proyecto innovaciones Hortalizas. El proyecto ha consolidado acciones con enfoque de equidad de género en diferentes niveles (familias, organizaciones y plataformas institucionales) con el propósito de promover la participación e inserción de hombres y mujeres con igualdad y equidad en todas sus fases de implementación. Todas las acciones están orientadas a alcanzar mayor participación en los espacios políticos (organizaciones, juntas directivas), espacios económicos (mercados y cadenas) y acceso a formación y desarrollo de capacidades.
Este informe describe las actividades de cooperación técnica del CATIE en honduras, los resultados en capacitación, destaca programas y proyectos y trae propuestas de mejoras en la integración institucional logrando ofrecer mejores servicios.
