El objetivo de esa tesis es identificar, caracterizar, analizar y definir los modelos de toma de decisiones en los modelos de organización productiva del Noreste de la Provincia de La Pampa (Departamentos Chapaleufú, Trenel y Maracó), como aporte para la mejora de la gestión del Sistema de Extensión Rural y Transferencia de Tecnología del Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria
El presente trabajo pretende indagar sobre las decisiones productivas y, en particular, sobre aspectos tecnológicos como la actividad ganadera, la siembra de soja, el uso de nuevos materiales genéticos, el uso de agroquímicos (pesticidas y fertilizantes), el tipo de laboreo de suelo y las siembras consociadas en establecimientos familiares del sudeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Todo ello con la finalidad de revalorizar estas prácticas y saberes e incorporarlos al diseño de estrategias de manejo agroecológico
El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido caracterizar la evolución de la Extensión Rural de nuestro país en los últimos 30 años. Para ello, han sido analizadas las disertaciones, paneles, conferencias y trabajos presentados en las diferentes jornadas realizadas durante el periodo transcurrido desde 1983 hasta 2016.
Innovations in the agri-food sector are needed to create a sustainable food supply. Sustainable food supply requires unexpectedly that densely populated regions remain food producers. A Dutch innovation program has aimed at showing the way forward through creating a number of practice and scientific projects. Generic lessons from the scientific projects in this program are likely to be of interest to agricultural innovation in other densely populated regions in the world.
In this paper, presented at the 8th European IFSA Symposium ( Workshop 6: "Change in knowledge systems and extension services: Role of the new actors") in 2008, the authors discuss a conceptual framework that understands innovation processes as the outcome of collaborative networks where information is exchanged and learning processes happen. They argue that technical and economic factors used to analyse drivers and barriers alone are not sufficient to understand innovation processes.
This paper, presented at the 8th European IFSA Symposium ( Workshop 6: "Change in knowledge systems and extension services: Role of the new actors") in 2008, discusses the innovation network Waardewerken, a Dutch network of rural entrepreneurs pioneering in multifunctional agriculture. which aims to contribute to a professional multifunctional agriculture sector in the Netherlands. For this purpose it cooperates with researchers and policymakers in order to improve policy conditions and to develop knowledge for multifunctional farmers.
This paper, presented at the 8th European IFSA Symposium ( Workshop 6: "Change in knowledge systems and extension services: Role of the new actors") in 2008, discusses the FutureDairy project, which is developing more productive forage and feeding systems and testing technical innovations such as robotic milking in Australian pasture based dairy systems.
This report explores the role of rural networks in enhancing innovation processes, questioning the features of the agricultural/rural networks could enhance farmers’ ability to co-innovate in cooperation with other actors. The prospect of this investigation is also to provide interesting and significant experiences that constitute examples for the ‘European Innovation Partnership’ by increasing farmers’ capacities to create, test, implement and evaluate innovations in cooperation with other rural actors.
The French Ministry of Agriculture has called for agro-ecological transitions that reconcile farming and the environment. In this review, we examine the transformations of farmers and AKIS (Agriculture Knowledge Innovation System) actors’ work during agro-ecological transitions, and argue that the content, organization, and aim of farmers’ work are influenced by agricultural training, agricultural development, and discussions between peers, research, and regulations. Our main findings concern those transformations.
Este articulo busca sintetizar el proceso incesante de mejora en la organización interna del Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria, desde el fortalecimiento del sistema de extensión, hasta la internalización del enfoque territorial como estrategia de planificación y gestión del accionar institucional en la complejidad sistémica que caracteriza a los territorios.
