“When I first heard about the CDAIS project two years ago, I knew immediately that it was just what our group of farmers was looking for” explains Edgar Somacumbi. “We have land, seeds, tractors and all the equipment we want, and a processing plant. But moving from being farmer to agro-entrepreneurs is a complex process and requires new skills. And this is where we needed help.” CDAIS is now supporting a group of farmers to improve how they organise themselves and to help them find solutions to their problems.
En este capítulo se presenta la transferencia tecnológica desde una perspectiva sistémica para luego describir el relacionamiento entre las capacidades de innovación y las funciones de los sistemas. Posteriormente se procede a vincular los indicadores del IDIC con los elementos del modelo sistémico de congruencia organizacional y las capacidades de innovación asociadas a las funciones del sistema.
El presente trabajo muestra la importancia del uso de las TI’s (Tecnologías de la Información) como herramientas de consulta para los productores en mediana y pequeña escala de agricultura protegida; donde se establece la necesidad de acceder a portales en internet o aplicaciones móviles, que provean de información acerca de precios de mercados, alertas de clima y plagas, centros de investigación, financiamientos, apoyos gubernamentales, proveedores de insumos y de servicios, requisitos de clientes, casos de éxito, etc., y de esta manera puedan tomar decisiones que les permita proyectar sus
La Representación del IICA en Bolivia identifcó, dentro de su Estrategia de Cooperación Técnica 2014-2018 para el país, a la agricultura familiar como un pilar de focalización en las acciones y proyectos que se desarrollan en apoyo y por solicitud de las instituciones públicas, privadas, académicas y otros socios estratégicos.
Dans le cadre de ce projet (2015-2018), la FAO a travaillé dans 21 pays (voir la carte ci-dessous) au travers de partenariats avec des OSC nationales pour la réalisation d’ateliers de sensibilisation et de renforcement des capacités afin de: Améliorer les connaissances et la compréhension des OSC par rapport aux DVGF; Accroître leurs compétences en matière de construction et connexion de réseaux et de plaidoyer pour défendre leurs droits fonciers et renforcer les partenariats pour une meilleure application des DVGF à tous les niveaux; Renforcer leurs capacités pour une participation e
Well-designed and supported innovation niches may facilitate transitions towards sustainable agricultural futures, which may follow different approaches and paradigms such as agroecology, local place-based food systems, vertical farming, bioeconomy, urban agriculture, and smart farming or digital farming.
This paper examines innovations for bridging gender gaps in agricultural value chains in Africa. It focuses on innovative platforms for addressing gender gaps, considering women contribute up to 40 percent of labor in agricultural production. Women remain at the bottom of value chains and face gender-specific constraints attributable to gender and social norms, discriminatory beliefs and practices, gender-blind designs and delivery of technologies and innovations which impede women s participation in value chains.
For many years, rural women have been creating their own agri-food processing companies, that promote local agriculture by bringing to the market original foods in products that are accessible to urban populations. The aim of CDAIS is to support their development by strengthening their capacities to experiment and learn together, as well as to negotiate and make contracts with suppliers and traders. And Dakoupa in Bobo Dioulasso is one of many small family businesses supported by CDAIS through the women-led agri-food processing microenterprise innovation partnership.
