Le projet agro-écologique porte une ambition claire : dépasser les oppositions autour de la question du modèle de croissance de notre agriculture et inscrire l’évolution de notre agriculture et des filières agricoles et agroalimentaires dans un cadre tourné vers l’avenir et adapté aux nombreux défis que nous devons relever. Cette approche est d’autant plus nécessaire qu’il n’existe plus, de fait, de modèle unique d’exploitations ; celles-ci sont très diversifiées et de moins en moins semblables les unes aux autres. L’agro-écologie est un véritable projet pour l’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.
“I see mindset shifts being promoted by CDAIS says Gemechu Nemie, director of the Ethiopian Animal Feed Industry Association (EAFIA) and a key member of the livestock feed safety and quality innovation niche. And this is the sort of change that the CDAIS project is beginning to engender, as partners start to implement approaches that better promote innovation in agriculture, by inspiring small and simple personal revolutions… Ethiopia is one of eight CDAIS pilot countries, and within each, several ‘niches’ or ‘innovation partnerships’ have been selected.
This trainers’ manual on capacity needs assessment was produced as part the Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation Systems (CDAIS) project. This involves a global partnership (Agrinatura, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations [FAO] and national partners from eight pilot countries) that aims to strengthen the capacity of countries and key stakeholders to innovate in complex agricultural systems, thereby achieving improved rural livelihoods.
Este documento en el contexto del Programa Regional de Investigación e Innovación por Cadenas de Valor Agrícola (PRIICA), tiene como objetivo el desarrollo de acciones para incrementar la disponibilidad de los alimentos y el acceso a ellos y a generar bienes públicos internacionales, mediante la investigación agrícola en los productos-cadena: papa, yuca, tomate y aguacate en Centroamérica y Panamá.
A partir del “Estudio de mercado de los productos forestales en Honduras, se analiza, se discute y se validan los hallazgos de dicha investigación con los diferentes actores sociales, políticos y económicos de la cadena de valor forestal, a través de talleres y entrevistas. Los resultados de estas consultas se plasman en en el presente libro. Los hallazgos principales analizan la oferta y la demanda; análisis de las importaciones; diagnóstico de barreras; roles y funciones; y una propuesta de plan de aumento
Este documento tiene como objetivo crear un “mapa” actualizado de la relevancia económica de las distintas cadenas de valor de la producción agroindustrial argentina. El segundo objetivo de este volumen tiene como objetivo cuantificar ⎯valor de producción, valor agregado, empleo y localización⎯ las actividades desarrolladas por una treintena de cadena de valor que cubren la casi totalidad del sector, abarcando los principales insumos, la actividad primaria y la primera etapa de transformación industrial
The study responds to the request by farmers in the Hohoe and Jasikan Rice Innovation Platforms, to identify traders and consumers’ rice preferences to enable them produce rice varieties that meet users’ demands.
