El objetivo de esta investigación fue definir las cadenas de valor por producto agropecuario acorde con la integración entre los actores participantes (productor-centros científicos-decisores-servicios técnicos-población) en entidades productivas (EP) de las provincias de Matanzas y Villa Clara, insertadas en el Proyecto Internacional Coinnovación.
Los objetivos del estudio fueron conocer la satisfacción por parte de los agricultores de los Servicios Científico Técnicos que se brindan en la actualidad y contribuir al rediseño del Sistema de Servicios Técnicos de apoyo a la agricultura en cada municipio, fortaleciendo el servicio para el control de plagas y enfermedades brindado por las Estaciones de Protección de Plantas (ETPP) y los Centros de Reproducción de Entomófagos y Entomopatógenos (CREE)

This is the first chapter of the book "Innovation platforms for agricultural development: Evaluating the mature innovation platforms landscape". It introduces the background, case study competition process, case study characterization and readers’ guide, and book outline. Characterization of the case studies includes their geographical spread, age and life stage of the platforms, and specific information on the multi-stakeholder processes, the content matter, platform support functions, and outcomes and impacts.
This is a chapter of the book Innovation Platforms for Agricultural Development edited by Iddo Dror, Jean-Joseph Cadilhon, Marc Schut, Michael Misiko and Shreya Maheshwari.
The Global Value Chain (GVC) approach has emerged as a novel methodological device for analysing economic globalization and international trade. The suitability of the chain metaphor and strategies for moving up the ladder of GVCs (“upgrade”) is widely echoed in international development agencies and public agencies in the Global South. Most of the existing GVC studies focus on new forms of firm-to-firm relationships and the role of lead firms and chain governance in defining upgrading opportunities.
Although many smallholder communities are yet to embark on their journey towards gender empowerment, this report presents best practice examples which demonstrate that significant strides can be achieved in relatively short time periods. Women’s Coffee initiatives are engaging consumers about the role of women in coffee production, and providing additional premiums that fund projects targeted at women, such as the projects implemented by UNICAFEC in Peru and Soppexcca in Nicaragua.
