Several posters have been created on the occasion of the 5th TAP Partners Assembly (Laos, 20-22 September 2017) to show recent activities and achievements in the eight pilot countries of the CDAIS project.
Este documento presenta los aspectos centrales del Programa Territorios Productivos. Este es un programa para potenciar la productividad, la producción y los ingresos de los hogares en condición de pobreza que son beneficiarios de PROSPERA que habitan en municipios y localidades en que los pequeños productores campesinos tienen un peso social y económico preponderante, priorizando los municipios originalmente seleccionados por la Cruzada Nacional contra el Hambre
This report provides a synthesis of all findings and information generated through a “stocktaking” process that involved a desk study of Prolinnova documents and evaluation reports, a questionnaire to 40 staff members of international organizations in agricultural research and development (ARD), self-assessment by the Country Platforms (CPs) and backstopping visits to five CPs. In 2014, the Prolinnova network saw a need to re-strategise in a changing context, and started this process by reviewing the activities it had undertaken and assessing its own functioning.
Este libro demuestra a través de datos la importancia de la investigación y el desarrollo tecnológico, la extensión y la transferencia tecnológica, la vinculación tecnológica, las articulaciones con otras instituciones, la gestión del conocimiento y la comunicación para los desafios del desarrollo rural. Asimismo, expone que los procesos de innovación son altamente sensibles a los contextos socioeconómicos y a la implementación de políticas públicas.
Este capitulo es parte de un libro del proyecto Específico “Procesos socio-técnicos de innovación en los territorios” del Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria (INTA) de Argentina.
Extension services play a crucial role by improving skills and access to information that result in greater farm level innovations, especially on family farms which are the predominant form of agriculture in the world. This study analyzed the connection between strategies implemented by extension services and technology adoption on family farms. Using the case of the Servicio de Asesoría Técnica (SAT) Program, the authors developed a bottom-up adoption index (AI) for vegetable and berry farmers in three regions of Central Chile.
Ce catalogue décrit une série de solutions agricoles pour les zones arides du Sahel et de la Corne de l'Afrique, utiles pour l'adaptation au changement climatique et l'atténuation de ses effets. Il est basé sur les interventions du programme Technologies pour la transformation de l'Agriculture en Afrique (TAAT). Ce programme, dirigé par l'Institut International d'Agriculture Tropicale (IITA), est à l'origine de nouvelles approches pour le déploiement de technologies éprouvées auprès des agriculteurs africains.
This brief summarizes the main activities carried out by the 15 international agricultural research centers of the global research partnership for a food secure future CGIAR and their affiliated institutions develop innovative solutions for sustainable agriculture
Agricultural extension in the Global South can benefit greatly from the use of modern information and communication technologies (ICT). Yet, despite two decades of promising experiences, this potential is not fully realized. Here, it is reviewed the relevant research literature to inform future investments into agricultural information services that harness the full potential of digital media.The study describes a recently emerging innovation agenda that is, in part, a response to the eventualfailure of many new agro-advisory initiatives.
Approved by TAP partners, the TAP Work Plan 2016 describes the activities to be carried out in 2016 to achieve TAP's objective of promoting more coherent and effective capacity development interventions for agricultural innovation.
