L’objectif général du projet est d’améliorer la résilience de la population rurale face à l’insécurité alimentaire en augmentant leur revenu à travers la promotion des chaînes de valeur. La GIZ contribue au développement économique dans les régions Androy, Anosy et Atsimo Atsinanana et vise surtout à intégrer des ménages vulnérables dans ces chaînes, notamment les ménages dirigés par les femmes. La GIZ sélectionne des filières à haut potentiel et souhaite les adapter aux changements climatiques.
La hidroponia o cultivo sin suelo es una técnica cuya importancia reside en su alta producción por metro cuadrado, gran eficiencia en el uso de agua y una multiplicidad de cultivos compatibles que brindan a los productores de zonas áridas y semiáridas una oportunidad interesante de producción (Birgi, 2015).
Lors de la conception de projets, il importe de faire intervenir les parties prenantes locales le plutôt possible afin de veiller à ce que les activités de renforcement des capacités répondent vraiment à leurs besoins. Les processus multipartites peuvent aussi mener à à une plus grande appropriation des activités et des résultantes des projets. La présente étude de cas offre un exemple de processus multipartite mis en place avec succès au Soudan pour renforcer les systèmes d’information sur la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition dans quatre États.
This is the third volume of the proceedings of the national conference on "Water for Food and Environment", which was held from June 9 -11, 2009 at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH). The volumes 1 and 2 have been produced as separate documents of this report series. In response to a call for abstracts, 81 abstracts were received from government institutes dealing with water resources and agriculture development, universities, other freelance researchers and researchers from the International Water Management Institute (IWMI).
Innovation is the process whereby individuals or organizations bring new or existing products, processes or ways of organization into use for the first time in a specific context. Innovation in agriculture cuts across all dimensions of the production cycle along the entire value chain - from crop, forestry, fishery or livestock production to the management of inputs and resources to market access. This book represents the proceedings of the first International Symposium on Agricultural Innovation for Family Farmers which FAO organized at its headquarters in Rome, on 21–23 November 2018.

In this paper, is explained how previous waves of innovation in South Asian agricultural and food systems have combined to create the present situation, and we suggest how alternative kinds of innovation may enable South Asian countries to escape from the triple burden of malnutrition.
In light of recent trends in international agricultural markets, and in the interest of analyzing, contributing to discussions of and making informed decisions on how to address the complex problem of price volatility, we are pleased to present this first issue of the ECLAC-FAO-IICA Bulletin, prepared within the framework of an initiative launched by our institutions in 2009 calling for the annual publication of a document on the state of and outlook for agriculture and rural life in Latin America and the Caribbean.
There is a growing concern by governments, retailers and consumers about the safety and quality of food. Because products are resourced on a on a global scale it becomes important that the origin of the products as well as all the treatments during production can be traced and that the production methods can be verified as good agricultural practices (GAP). This also includes considerations for the environment and sustainability.
Ce guide est né d’une demande de paysans africains qui souhaitaient s’engager dans des pratiques agricoles plus respectueuses de leur environnement et plus durables. Il a été conçu comme un outil d’accompagnement destiné à tous les paysans et techniciens souhaitant développer l’agroécologie et l’agroforesterie en zone tropicale humide. Après un rapide rappel du contexte et des enjeux actuels de l’agroécologie, il fournit des informations techniques, issues de l’expérience de quatre « terrains » (République démocratique du Congo, Myanmar, Cambodge et Inde).
