ProjectSupport to Sustainable Agriculture Mechanization - TCP/TIM/3701 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The Government of Timor Leste recognizes the importance of addressing agricultural mechanization across agrifood chains in the country, and of developing public private community partnerships for reducing food losses, creating and diversifying business opportunities in rural communities, and reducing the work drudgery of both men and women, while increasing the resilience of smallholder farmers to face the effects of climate change In this context, the Government has developed an Agricultural Mechanization Policy Towards a Sustainable Agricultural Transformation (January 2018 in support of sustainable agricultural mechanization, which provides a strategic framework to guide and prioritize future key interventions in the country However, technical capacity was not sufficient to implement key interventions, such as the establishment of agricultural mechanization service centres and the provision of training to service providers at national and local levels The project aimed to improve farmers’ access to agricultural mechanization, by providing technical support for an effective assessment of the type, size and appropriateness of the existing machineries, and identifying input suppliers, as well as providing training for proper operation and maintenance of these machines. -

DocumentFarm power and mechanization for small farms in sub-Saharan Africa 2006
Also available in:
No results found.In the past, many of the publications concerned with mechanization, draught animal power, hand-tool technology, etc. tended to be rather mono-topical, dealing with only one aspect of the subject. Farm power and mechanization also tended to be separated from the actual processes of crop production and processing; it was a topic created by engineers and was dealt with by engineers. As a result, there is a widespread lack of understanding of the subject, and there are many widely held mis conceptions with regard to the essential contribution of farm power and mechanization to small farmers’ productivity and livelihoods. In recent years, the Farm Power and Mechanization Group in FAO has broken away from this rather narrow approach and has put the different sources of farm power, mechanization, machinery, equipment and tools into a much broader context. We have looked at farm power from the perspective of rural livelihoods and farming systems, as well as the critical area of labour saving in HIV/AIDS and migrationaffected populations. We have purposely avoided taking rigid positions with regard to any one particular type of technology; instead, we have adopted a much wider brief and have been concerned to identify appropriate solutions for a range of situations.
