Cette fiche technique décrit les résultats d’une analyses coûts/bénéfices de l’introduction de bandes végétales/rampes vivantes dans les cultures de pois, dans les municipalités de Bainet et Grand Goave, à Haïti. Cette pratique atténue l’érosion des sols via une diminution de la vitesse d’écoulement de l’eau et une favorisation de son...

La agroecología, junto con la agricultura familiar, pretende transformar los sistemas agroalimentarios abordando las causas fundamentales de los problemas y aportando soluciones holísticas y de largo plazo basadas en la co-creación de conocimientos, el intercambio y la innovación, incluida la combinación de conocimientos locales, tradicionales, indígenas y prácticos con una ciencia multidisciplinaria.  Centrada en las personas, intensiva...

This publication outlines key features of South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) and how FAO has applied SSTC to the delivery of its mission. The case studies presented provide a window on how SSTC has contributed to alleviating hunger and malnutrition in countries across the global South and has helped build...

Recent research suggests that there is an urgent need to create transitions to agroecology to address the many ecological, social, and ethical problems caused by the hegemonic Corporate Food Regime. In the Global South, however, there are already numerous and diverse agroecological initiatives driven by peasant communities, indigenous peoples, and...

Díptico que repasa la situación de las mujeres rurales en la agricultura familiar en ALC, incorporando datos de Argentina, Colombia, Perú, Ecuador y Guatemala. Este material ha sido producido por dos plataformas regionales "Mujer rural y derecho a la tierra" y "Agricultura Familiar" que impulsa la International Land Coalition en América Latina...

Agroecology proposes to mobilize the scientific and practical, traditional and local knowledge of producers to develop jointly new production systems. This article presents the results of research on biological control carried out since 2003 in the north of Uruguay. Experiences were conducted by different organizations of family farmers and by...

El autor, Lusi Hernández Navarro, hace un recuento histórico del café, desde su uso medicinal hasta su propagación por todo el mundo y la explotación a la que someten las tierras y a las y los agricultores.

Exponentially growing cells regulate their size by controlling their timing of division. Since two daughter cells are born as a result of this cell splitting, cell size regulation has a direct connection with cell proliferation dynamics. Recent models found more clues about this connection by suggesting that division occurs at...

L’Union des Travailleuses et Travailleurs de la Terre (UTT) a lancé le « Corridor Souverain de Patagonie », un parcours de 4 500 km tout au long duquel un camion distribue des aliments sains à Buenos Aires, La Pampa, Neuquén, Río Negro et Chubut. Cela permet de réduire les coûts...

The global banana industry is threatened by one of the most devastating diseases: Fusarium wilt (FWB). FWB is caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), which almost annihilated the banana production in the late 1950s. A new strain of Foc, known as tropical race 4 (TR4),...

Digital and automation solutions can solve labour bottlenecks, increase agricultural productivity, resilience and efficiency, and improve environmental sustainability. However, access is limited in low- and lower-middle-income countries, especially for small-scale producers. Based on ten case studies in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean and Asia, this study investigates the suitability...

Desde BID Lab creemos que el uso de soluciones tecnológicas en la agricultura y las cadenas de valor agropecuaria ayudarán a reducir las brechas de productividad de forma más sostenible, apoyar a los productores a diseñar estrategias frente a las crisis climáticas; asegurar la inclusión de los pequeños y medianos...

Spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) has been widely studied for its diversity of compounds for product generation. However, studies describing the chemical and biological characteristics of commercial spearmint materials from different origins are scarce. For this reason, this research aimed to bioprospecting spearmint from three origins: Colombia (Col), Mexico (Mex), and...

La evidencia muestra que cuando una fuerte voluntad política se traduce en leyes, políticas públicas y programas, los indicadores de seguridad alimentaria y nutrición tienden a mejorar significativamente. Los parlamentarios desempeñan un papel fundamental en la promoción y aprobación de leyes y políticas para erradicar el hambre y la malnutrición,...

Abstract. Spatial soil databases can help model complex phenomena in which soils are decisive, for example, evaluating agricultural potential or estimating carbon storage capacity. The Soil Information System for Latin America and the Caribbean, SISLAC, is a regional initiative promoted by the FAO's South American Soil Partnership to contribute to...

I learned from Ing. Abrahán Mujica how you can culture your own microorganisms, using some simple equipment and a few inexpensive ingredients. Abrahán showed me and a small group at his agroecology course that you can start by collecting some leaf litter. We gathered the leaves and topsoil from the...

This report summarizes the findings of a literature review on women's management of terrestrial ecosystems in the Andes. This review was conducted with the purpose of characterizing the scientific knowledge, including gaps, which guide public policy and decision making regarding women's roles in the context of biodiversity and climate change. ...

Variables of bacterial division such as size at birth, growth rate, division time, and the position of the septal ring, all vary from cell to cell. Currently, it is unknown how these random fluctuations can combine to produce a robust mechanism of homeostasis. To address this question, we studied the...

Actualmente nos encontramos ante una cadena de suministro cada vez más avanzada e interconectada en donde la trazabilidad se ha convertido en una práctica que permite optimizar las actividades operacionales y logísticas de los procesos de producción y acondicionamiento, en la cual el cacao (Theobroma cacao) y sus derivados agroindustriales...
