Esta guía, para el diagnóstico de los SisNIAs plantea un nabordaje con base en tres ejes de análisis: i) Caracterización de la producción y del sistema de ciencia y tecnología, donde se desarrolla la situación productiva del país, generación de conocimiento, dominio tecnológico y base técnica de producción; ii) Caracterización de los actores del sistema y sun papel en la inducción de la innovación, identificando a los principales actores y el rol que cumplen en el sistema; iii) Caracterización de la institucionalidad del SisNIA, sustentada en los marcos legales, estímulos y obstáculos a la
El propósito de este texto es explorar el concepto de sistemas territoriales de agricultura familiar (STAF) en el marco de procesos que promuevan, de manera integrada, iniciativas de desarrollo de nuestros territorios rurales y de fortalecimiento de las agriculturas familiares, en el marco de políticas nacionales articuladas o complementarias entre sí.
En este documento se resumen casos concretos de aplicación de buenas prácticas de adaptación de los sistemas agropecuarios ante el cambio climático en algunos países de América Latina, las cuales pueden ser consideradas, adaptadas y enriquecidas para ser replicadas, bien sea en diferentes regiones de un mismo país o en otros países.

These Proceedings report on the second International Conference of the Convergence of Sciences (CoS) programme in Elmina (2009). The first International Conference was four years earlier in the same location, where it was discussed how to follow up on the findings of the first CoS Programme phase (entitled CoS1 running from 2001 to 2006). The Conference was intended to introduce the focus on “innovation systems”, and how to enhance these systems for smallholder farmers’ development.
According to the literature on regime transition, niches are sources of innovation that may lead to the transformation of the dominant regime, if processes at other level of the system – the landscape and the mainstream regime - are supportive. A focus on actors involved in the transition process and the analysis of their specific role in knowledge networks can help assessing the robustness of a specific niche and its growth potential. Knowledge systems, and in particular the dynamics of local and expert knowledge, have in fact a key role in innovation models.
