El informe está estructurado en tres partes:
• la primera parte trata de la adaptación de la agricultura familiar a los cambios climáticos y de las condiciones de la adaptación; • la segunda parte aborda el lugar que ocupa la adaptación de la agricultura familiar en las políticas públicas;
• la tercera parte propone algunas recomendaciones para una mejor integración de este tema en las políticas públicas.
Una presentación de los tres estudios de caso-países figura también en anexo.
To successfully realize the African transformation agenda, governments will have to capitalize on the potential of Africa’s youth. Growing up in an increasingly free and fair continent, the young people of Africa are dynamic, forward-looking and best positioned to find innovative solutions to local chal-lenges through the use of science and technology. To do this, conditions have to be suitable and young people need an environment in which barriers to self-actualization are broken.
This brief discusses the emergence of Asia as a hotpot of innovation and the implications for Australia's own innovation capacity
The term ‘systemic innovation’ is increasing in use. However, there is no consensus on its meaning: four different ways of using the term can be identified in the literature. Most people simply define it as a type of innovation where value can only be derived when the innovation is synergistically integrated with other complementary innovations, going beyond the boundaries of a single organization. Therefore, the term ‘systemic’ refers to the existence of a co-ordinated innovation system.
Research-based evidence on the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices is vital to their effective uptake, continued use and wider diffusion. In addition, an enabling policy environment at the national and regional levels is necessary for this evidence to be used effectively. This chapter analyzes a 4-year period of continuous policy engagement in East Africa in an attempt to understand the role of multi-stakeholder platforms (MSPs) in facilitating an enabling policy environment for climate change adaptation and mitigation.
This paper explores the use of complex adaptive systems theory in development policy analysis using a case study drawn from recent events in Uganda. It documents the changes that took place in the farming system in Soroti district during an outbreak of African cassava mosaic virus disease (ACMVD) and the subsequent decline in cassava production — the main staple food in the area. Resultant adaptation impacts are analysed across cropping, biological, economic and social systems each of which operate as an interlinked sub-system.
Comment se porte le secteur laitier ? En Europe, il n’en est pas à sa première crise. Au Sud, il subit les conséquences de la surproduction et des exportations massives.
Atentos a la dinámica que han seguido los mercados internacionales de productos agrícolas, y con el interés de contribuir al debate, al análisis y a la toma de decisiones informadas para hacer frente al complejo problema de la volatilidad de precios, nos complace presentar este primer número del Boletín interinstitucional CEPAL-FAOIICA, que forma parte de la iniciativa que nuestras instituciones vienen emprendiendo desde 2009 para elaborar, cada año, una publicación sobre las perspectivas de la agricultura y el desarrollo rural en América Latina y el Caribe.
À partir d’une expérience de valorisation d’un produit par l’origine, la viande de bœuf produite dans les prairies de la Pampa brésilienne, notre article propose d’analyser la capacité des acteurs locaux à élaborer et mettre en œuvre des dispositifs, leur permettant de répondre aux enjeux du développement durable.
This paper details the analytical framework used for developing a nested understanding of systemic innovation capacity in an AIS. The paper then introduces the two case studies, along with the data and methods of analysis, followed by a presentation of the results as timelines of configurations of capabilities at different levels of the AIS.
