Des changements dans les agendas des politiques publiques des Comités Nationaux de l’Agriculture Familiale des Philippines, du Honduras, du Burkina Faso et du Sénégal seront soutenus techniquement et économiquement. La création d’un nouveau Comité au Tchad sera également appuyée.
This Resource Manual on IPPM ALS in Vegetables is a compilation of various documents on the production of commonly grown vegetable crops. This was developed basically for the facilitators and learners of the Children’s Participation in Integrated Production and Pest Management (CP IPPM) Program and the Integrated Production and Pest Management for the Alternative Learning System (IPPMALS) Program. The objective of this resource manual is to provide them a ready reference to complement the learning process in discovery-based IPPM ALS Session Guides that trainers will use in conducting FFS.
This manual, for FFS facilitators and coordinators, refers to the previous publication and specifies how the topic and practices on trees outside forests can be implemented using the FFS approach. This is accomplished by introducing an adapted AESA and special topics for a four-month FFS growing season. The agroforestry ecosystem analysis (AFESA) includes TOF, production, environmental services, trees, non-trees – bamboos and palms – and shrubs on different types of rice fields in combination with sketch maps and record making.
This field guide is co-published by the Project for the ECBFMP, Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Region III, KASAKALIKASAN, and ASEAN IPM Knowledge Network integrates best practices and learning experiences on agroforestry farming systems in the Philippines and the Asia-Pacific Region based on the shared experiences of FFS facilitators, farmer-practitioners and technical experts. Field walks, soil maps, farmer-validated baseline surveys, material-flow charts and the ballot box exercise, with a broad listing of possible questions and answers serve as diagnostic tools.
Based on three regional needs assessments, a strategic Action Plan has been formulated and adopted by the Partner Assembly of the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP), held in China in September 2013. It defines the outcomes, outputs and activities of TAP, which are considered instrumental for facilitating effective and sustainable Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation Systems in tropical areas.
Summary of the first week of the e-conference "Innovation systems for food security and nutrition: understanding the capacities needed". The e-conference, organized by the Secretariat of the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP), is aiming at bringing together the issues of capacity development, agricultural innovation, and food security and nutrition with the objective of developing recommendations for policy-making.
The e-conference started on 18 April and lasted until 13 May 2016.
This flyer summarizes the key-findings from the e-conference (19 April-13 May 2016) and the international symposium (21 June 2016) both organized by the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP) and supported by the United States in the framework of the USA-Brazil agreement to promote, via TAP, the implementation of the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. The agreement pays particular attention to innovation system for food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture.
The timeline tool is generally put to use when stakeholders embark upon the self-assessment phase of their innovation partnership. Stakeholders are asked to recall moments they feel were significant for the partnership, from its beginning to the present and to reflect upon how the partnership has evolved since it began.
