This paper discusses the challenges and determinants of agro-operations and innovation initiatives in developing countries. With particular reference to the Caribbean region, available country statistics and data are analysed. A generic model of collaborative innovation for agriculture that stresses collaboration among the stakeholders (government, knowledge institutions, public and private firms and others) is described.
This study describes the evolving context and organisational linkages in the agricultural innovation system of Azerbaijan and suggests ways to promote effective organisational ties for the development, distribution and use of new or improved information and knowledge related to agriculture. Graph-theoretic principles and concepts are employed to assess the existing organisational linkages vital for agricultural innovations.
The purpose of this report is to provide some of the groundwork in answering the question of how the CGIAR system and other public agricultural research organisations should adapt and respond to an era of transformation framed by the SDGs. It does this by exploring the way in which this transformation agenda reframes agricultural research and innovation.
The Applied Research and Innovation Systems in Agriculture project (ARISA) started in December 2014 with the aim of increasing net farm income for 10,000 smallholder farming households in eastern Indonesia. The project was designed to address a key challenge in agricultural research for development: how to ensure that proven research outputs1 are available and accessible for use in farming communities.
The purpose of this brief is to open up a conversation on this topic, to draw in a wider set of perspectives, and to explore collaboration opportunities. In particular the meeting aims (i) to identify limitations and missed impact opportunities of current agri-food innovation systems; (ii) to explore the nature of frameworks and tools needed to advance innovation and impact; and (iii) to develop a road map on how these could be co-developed to best meet the needs of different stakeholder groups
Applied Research and Innovation Systems in Agriculture (ARISA) was implemented by CSIRO in collaboration with Indonesian partners. This multi-year program seeks to strengthen collaboration between public research organisations and agribusinesses in order to incubate and deliver technology and business solutions appropriate to smallholder farmers. The geographic focus of the program was Eastern Indonesia.
The CSIRO Agriculture and Food & the CGIAR Independent Science and Partnership Council (ISPC) Secretariat are collaborating to explore the nature of agri-food systems innovation and impact. This workshop report is a record of the key outcomes from a workshop held on the 14-15 December 2016 in Canberra, Australia
Se realizó un estudio con el objetivo de identificar las brechas de formación en cuanto a la capacidad gerencial; la situación actual en instituciones, organizaciones y proyectos respecto a la determinación de la demanda de formación de capacidades en cultura y gestión empresarial en el marco agropecuario; así como los actores con posibilidades de asumir labores como promotores, facilitadores y formadores, que dieran respuesta a un programa de formación propuesto para los años 2015-2017.
Con el objetivo de conocer aspectos relevantes que constituyen aprendizajes en el proceso de gestión del desarrollo local en el municipio Perico, provincia de Matanzas –Cuba–, se realizó un ejercicio de sistematización en el período 2013-2016. Para el análisis se tomó como guía las variables identificadas en el eje de «gestión para el desarrollo», en sus dimensiones productiva y cultural asociativa.
Este artículo tiene como objetivo facilitar la comprensión sobre la relevancia de las percepciones de los actores para el cambio social y la sostenibilidad de las transformaciones que se ejecutan en el entorno agropecuario municipal, ante la complejidad de los escenarios actuales.
