Este libro es una invitación a descubrir que hay funcionarios públicos talentosos y dispuestos a generar cambios, a valorar la colaboración público-privada, a descubrir el potencial innovador de emprendedores sociales y sobre todo es una invitación a replicar las buenas prácticas y metodologías que están detrás de cada caso. Los autores esperan que “Experencias de Innovación Pública”, sirva de inspiración tanto para estudiosos como para hacedores de innovaciones que generan valor público.
La crise alimentaire mondiale de 2008 a bien évidemment également touché l’Afrique de l’ouest et l’une de ses filières phares : le riz. Cette crise a incité les États et les institutions régionales à mettre en oeuvre des mesures visant à améliorer la production et l’offre locales de riz.
This document on Good Practices in Extension Research and Evaluation is developed as a hands on reference manual to help young researchers, research students, and field extension functionaries in choosing the right research methods for conducting quality research and evaluation in extension. This manual has been compiled by the resource persons who participated in the Workshop on ‘Good
Good agricultural practices (GAPs) are an indispensable tool for risk management due to the close relationship between agriculture and climate, as well as the climate variability currently being experienced. The implementation of these tools, however, involves fostering innovation, increasing knowledge and giving stakeholders, small producers in particular, a holistic view, so that they may improve their production systems, increase their resilience, and ensure their sustainability.
The main objective of the Guidelines is to provide a non-binding complement to other guidelines and offer advice to RDP evaluation stakeholders on how to carry out the evaluation activities for answering the common evaluation questions related to innovation. Since the RDP’s effects on innovation in rural areas can be expected to take place, most likely, in the long-term, the guidelines focus in particular on those evaluation related activities, which will be reported in the AIR in 2019 and in the ex post evaluation. The Guidelines are structured in three parts:
L’édition annuelle de Défis Sud propose un regard sur les agricultures, avec des faits, des chiffres et des prévisions. Face à l’augmentation de la population, au réchauffement climatique et à la perte de ressources naturelles, les solutions proposées pour répondre au défi de la sécurité alimentaire mondiale devraient davantage miser sur l’agriculture familiale et l’agroécologie. En 2018 les agricultures familiales seront encore menacées.
La presente publicación constituye una contribución para visualizar un modelo conceptual por el cual los segmentos de población urgidos de acceso a oportunidades de desarrollo, sustentabilidad e inclusión social en los territorios rurales de la america latina y del caribe, se beneficiarían con una o varias soluciones de innovación en la cadena de valor de bioqueroseno.
The term 'Integrated Agricultural Research for Development (IAR4D),' first coined in 2003, acknowledges the complexity of the agricultural system and the need to bring together not only different related research disciplines but also multiple actors (private sector, public sector, producer organisation and policymakers) to find joint solutions to the challenges of agricultural innovation. The book is produced in response traces the evolution of the concept back to its roots in an impressive range of theories and approaches from diverse disciplines, such as constructivism, participatory acti
Innovation Platforms are increasingly being proposed and used in agricultural research for development project and programs. Innovation Platforms provide space to farmers, agricultural service providers, researchers, private sector and other stakeholders to jointly identify, analyse and overcome constraints to agricultural development. Although innovation platforms have been successful in addressing agricultural challenges, there is a risk that they are promoted as a panacea for all problems in the agricultural sector... which would clearly be a big mistake.
La metodología de identificación de estilos de aprendizaje aplicable al sector agropecuario colombiano (Mideas) surge como propuesta de Corporación Colombiana de Investigación Agropecuaria CORPOICA y desarrolla el contrato con la Universidad de Antioquia.
