Filtros de aguas grises: Cómo implementarlos
El agua es esencial para la vida del ser humano; sin embargo, en algunas comunidades es un recurso con acceso limitado, especialmente durante el verano.
Por esta razón, la FAO y el Ministerio de Agricultura, Ganadería y Alimentación (MAGA), impulsan en Guatemala la implementación de filtros artesanales de aguas grises.
Estas estructuras...

Supplemental Irrigation: A promising climate-smart practice for dryland agriculture
Supplemental irrigation - the addition of limited amounts of water to essentially rainfed crops to improve and stabilize yields when rainfall fails to provide sufficient moisture for normal plant growth - is an effective response to alleviating the adverse effects of soil moisture stress on the yield of rainfed crops during dry spells. Supplemental irrigation, especially during critical crop growth...

Eco Khalleh - Educational training center on agroecology and organic farming
Agronomic practices and management decisions can have a significant impact on the type and number of weeds on a farm. Understanding this relationship can help organic producers manage weeds through avoidance, and various cultural management practices.
The most important steps of non-chemical weed management are prevention, diagnosis, and a number of...

Initiative of the system of rice intensification
In 2005, we began experimenting with SRI methods at Al-Mishkhab Rice Research Station (MRRS) in Najaf. With SRI practices, roots grow larger and deeper and do not degenerate for lack of oxygen in the soil as occurs when rice fields are kept continuously flooded. SRI is considered as a methodology...

Agroecology research by agriculture and agri-food
In many regions of Canada, the footprint of agriculture is increasing. This often results in excessive losses of wildlife habitat and biodiversity, increases in GHG emissions and carbon losses, and degradation of water quality and soil resources. This project aims at conserving, protecting and valuing natural features, such as riparian...

L'atelier paysan: a network for farmer-driven technologies and practices
Small-scale agroecological and organic farming systems require appropriate machinery and technologies, and a change of paradigm in the way they are conceived, produced, sold and patented. The mainstream agricultural model has led to machines that are getting increasingly bigger and more expensive and complicated, and thus inaccessible for many farmers...

Land to lab approach for developing and disseminating location specific innovations
The needs of rural and high-risk areas are diverse and location specific. As the market is limited, the private sector is not interested in developing technologies for high-risk areas, and the government sector often bypasses or ignores their needs. Identifying area-specific needs and developing specific solutions are key for sustainability....

Understanding Farm Diversity to Promote Agroecological Transitions
Agroecology is increasingly promoted by scientists, non-governmental organisations (NGO’s), international organisations and peasant movements as an approach to foster the transition to sustainable and equitable food systems. The challenges to agroecological transitions are not the same for all farmers, as they can face different social and bio-physical conditions. We developed...
