El proyecto Ganadería baja en emisiones, una contribución al desarrollo sostenible del sector en Suramérica (TCP/RLC/3714), realizado en Argentina, Chile, Ecuador Paraguay y Uruguay; tiene como objetivo la generación de evidencia para la toma de decisiones mediante el análisis costo beneficio de las prácticas y tecnologías disponibles; la identificación de...

In organic farming, plants should primarily be fed through the soil ecosystem, therefore fertilisation focuses on feeding the soil life. Organic farmers rely on biological nitrogen fixation by legumes, complemented by recycling, regeneration and/or addition of organic materials and nutrients. Among the external inputs used for organic plant nutrition, manures...

A growing number of poultry farmer field schools (FFS) are being implemented in developing countries by a wide range of actors. Experience over the past two decades has shown that good-quality facilitation and learning activities are key to the success and long-term sustainability of poultry FFS. This manual provides practical information...

Growing a variety of crops, including legumes such as beans or pigeon peas, and adding plant residues or manure to soils, according to an international team of experts, may increase food crop yields in regions such as rural Africa, where small-scale farmers cannot apply much nitrogen fertilizer. The study, published...

Natural substances are an important component of organic plant protection strategies, mainly in perennial crops. Only a small number of products and substances are authorised for plant protection in organic production. Organic farming constantly evolves, and new inputs are proposed to replace contentious inputs traditionally used or to tackle yet...

GRAIN produced an outstanding report evaluating the resounding clamor to shift funding away from industrial agriculture and toward agroecology in order to achieve food sovereignty. While it’s true that we need to resource and strengthen agroecology, the idea that it’s matter of moving money around, or pointing institutions in a...

En el marco del Sistema de Innovación Agropecuaria y frente al desarrollo de las capacidades locales hablar de procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje en la extensión rural y agropecuaria se vuelve cada día más frecuente. Este tema cobra importancia porque favorece la apropiación social del conocimiento, la transferencia tecnológica, el cambio y...

El Ministerio de Desarrollo Agropecuario (MIDA), con el apoyo de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO), ha establecido un sistema de alerta temprana y vigilancia de la sequía en agricultura (ASIS, por sus siglas en inglés). El objetivo de ASIS es proporcionar a los...

Soil biodiversity contributes to the provision of multiple ecosystem functions and services and is therefore emerging as a nature-based solution to global challenges. Despite the substantial progresses made in obtaining knowledge about soil biodiversity and its functions, only around one percent of soil organisms have been identified so far. The...

Le CCFD-Terre solidaire, qui lutte contre l’insécurité alimentaire, vient de mettre en place un programme baptisé « Face ». L’initiative vise à renforcer les capacités des organisations féministes face au changement climatique et à financer des alternatives pour la transition écologique et la préservation de la biodiversité.

Women and men play important roles throughout the fish value chain, and also for the conservation of aquatic resources. However, there is little recognition of women’s valuable contribution to the fisheries sector. Women glean and collect seafood from the mangroves. Women clean and process the fish.

Global change – including population growth, urbanization, land use change and climate change – is increasingly disturbing the equilibrium of the world’s drylands. Growing numbers of people are dependent on natural resources for their survival, against a background of advancing land degradation, weakened traditional governance and the intensified and unsustainable...

In the village of Mudjoga, in North Kivu, DRC, farmers have devised an innovative agricultural competition inspired by football. The competition is called “agricultural match” and it consists of farmers demonstrating the application of certain cultivation practices. The exercise itself is inspired by football, or “soccer”. It pits farmers against each...
