El presente trabajo ofrece un panorama global del mercado existente de los productos de origen animal, principalmente de carne y leche, con el propósito de obtener un panorama general de la producción caprina y valorar algunas perspectivas de la producción caprina en México y el mundo. Se enfatiza en los sistemas tradicionales de producción caprina y las perspectivas de desarrollo de la producción caprina a distintos niveles: local, regional, nacional e internacional
Se evaluó la aceptación de una nueva tecnología de manejo integrado del cultivo de papayo en el ejido Miralejos, municipio de Soledad de Doblado, Veracruz, México. Se encuestaron 32 productores antes y después de asistir a eventos demostrativos en tres parcelas del ejido. El análisis multivariado de componentes principales mostró evidencia significativa que engloba la opinión de los encuestados respecto a los cambios de actitud positiva hacia la tecnología
Agroproductividad es una revista de divulgación científica y tecnológica, auspiciada por el Colegio de Postgraduados de forma mensual para entregar los resultados obtenidos por los investigadores en ciencias agrícolas y afines. En esta edición los artículos presentes son: 1) Cadenas de importancia socioeconómica para el
Processes of designing for systemic innovation for sustainable development (SD) through the lens of three long-term case studies are reported. All case studies, which originated from the SLIM (Social Learning for the Integrated Management and Sustainable Use of Water at Catchment Scale) Project, funded within the EU Fifth Framework Program (2001–2004), constitute inquiry pathways that are explored using a critical incident approach.
This synthesis report presents the outputs of the workshop organised by CTA at its headquarters in Wageningen, The Netherlands, 15-17 July 2008. The outputs are presented in two main parts, each corresponding to one of the workshop objectives, and ends with a section on the way forward as suggested by the workshop participants. It also includes a first attempt to come to a consolidated generic framework on AIS performance indicators, based on the outputs of the different working groups.
Apple production in South Tyrol is a true illustration of a vibrant agricultural innovation system.
This paper contributes to the ongoing discussion in the scientific literature on the advantages and disadvantages of privatization of extension and advisory services and the shift from thinking in terms of the traditional Agricultural Knowledge System towards a broader Agricultural Innovation System.
The European Innovation Partnership for agricultural productivity and sustainability (EIP-AGRI), which can be perceived as a platform based on interaction among farmers, researchers, and advisors/extensionists, represents a useful tool for a better understanding of applied innovation processes.
Multi-actors networks are increasingly used by farmers to link between them and to be interactively connected with other partners, such as advisory organizations, local governments, universities, and non-farm organizations. Given the importance assigned to the agricultural innovation by EU resorting to the networking between the research chain actors and the farmers, a strong focus on enhancing the creation of learning and innovation networks is expected.
Although innovation is understood to encompass much more than R&D, science continues to be an essential ingredient. In particular translation, adaptation and ‘valorisation’ of research results, the responsiveness of research to users’ needs and improved access to results are all regarded as important in achieving a more sustainable European agriculture. These challenges can be addressed in a number of ways including increased collaboration, networking, transdisciplinary research and co-operation between researchers and practitioners.
