To enhance integrated rainwater management in crop-livestock systems in the Volta basin of Burkina Faso, innovation platforms (IP) comprising of multiple stakeholders were established in the districts of Koubri and Ouahigouya. Quarterly IP meetings were organized to collectively identify and prioritize constraints and opportunities, and to design and implement strategies to address them. IP represents an example of putting the agricultural innovations systems’ perspective into practice.

This review aims to identify key issues and opportunities needed to bring current Agricultural Education and Training (AET) systems up to the needed capacity. This paper first looks at the opportunities identified in the preliminary research. Next the paper looks at some of the many pitfalls learned from previous AET work that should be avoided moving forward. Lastly the paper gives a brief explanation for some of the key areas that the preliminary research identified as requiring further research and study in a modern day context.
El presente estudio muestra las principales características socio-productivas de la red agroalimentaria mencionada, la identificación de etapas, agentes y actividades (primarias y de soporte), y el análisis de los mecanismos que la gobiernan; para lo cual se empleó una metodología sistémica que permitió caracterizar la mencionada red, y en donde se determinó que presenta ventajas como la inclusión de mujeres a la etapa productiva, y el sentido de asociatividad de procesadores y distribuidores
