La présente note a pour objet de donner des éléments aux décideurs, au niveau national, pour leur permettre de procéder à des évaluations et de prendre les mesures voulues concernant la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition face au changement climatique. Elle comprend des informations générales sur l’effet que le changement climatique et la variabilité du climat ont sur les secteurs de l’agriculture et la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition et sur la façon dont ces secteurs et les habitudes alimentaires contribuent aux émissions de gaz à effet de serre.
The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) financed the second Cordillera Highland Agricultural Resource Management Project (CHARMP2), in areas where poverty is most severe among indigenous peoples in the highlands of the Cordillera Region in northern Philippines. The aim is to reduce poverty and improve the livelihoods of indigenous peoples living in farming communities in the mountainous project area. The indigenous peoples consist of many tribes whose main economic activity is agriculture.
This report explores three different scenarios for the future of food and agriculture, based on alternative trends for key drivers, such as income growth and distribution, population growth, technical progress in agriculture, and climate change. Building on the report The future of food and agriculture – Trends and challenges, this publication provides scenario-based quantitative projections to 2050 for food and agriculture.
Although it is not always acknowledged, power differences between partners fundamentally affect Agricultural Research for Development (ARD) partnerships. In referring to its African-European ARD partnerships, PAEPARD has often alluded to aspects of power without naming them as such. The project was established to create “equitable and balanced partnerships” between: a) researchers and research users, and b) African and European partners.
Inclusion is a key issue for Agricultural Research for Development (ARD). Development goals in and of themselves call for better livelihoods and opportunities for the less privileged actors working in agriculture. They also call for greater equity and balanced representation of the population at an institutional level. This brief focuses on how ARD processes can more sensitively address gender relations and youth issues. Women and young people have distinctive needs and interests which can be less visible within broader “Producer Organizations”, for example.
This paper highlights lessons learned from the development of PAEPARD-supported consortia, which illustrate various impacts of brokerage. The preliminary conclusions and recommendations may appear obvious at first sight, but will be useful for informing the implementation of brokerage activities until PAEPARD activities come to an end in December 2017.
Ce document met en évidence les enseignements tirés de la constitution de consortiums appuyés par PAEPARD, qui illustrent les différents impacts de la médiation. Les conclusions et recommandations préliminaires peuvent sembler évidentes à première vue, mais seront utiles pour informer de la mise en œuvre des activités de courtage jusqu'à la fin des activités de PAEPARD en décembre 2017.
This document presents a summary of the main findings of sector and multi-stakeholder consultations conducted by the Platform for African European Partnership on Agricultural Research for Development (PAEPARD) during 2010-2012. It provides recommendations for the sustainable establishment of partnerships in agricultural research for development (ARD), between African and European partners in particular, to be innovative, balanced and demand-driven.
Ce document présente un résumé des principales conclusions des consultations sectorielles et multi-acteurs menées par la Plateforme pour un partenariat Afrique-Europe dans le domaine de la recherche agricole pour le développement (PAEPARD) entre 2010 et 2012. Il formule des recommandations pour l’élaboration de partenariats durables, innovants, équilibrés, en particulier entre partenaires africains et européens, et pilotés par la demande dans le domaine de la recherche agricole pour le développement (RAD).
As the PAEPARD project is complex and multi-faceted, ensuring that appropriate information is made available to users in a timely manner and in a form that can be easily understood and used has been a major challenge.
