BookletManual / guideGuía para la elaboración de planes de negocios en bancos comunitarios de semillas 2024
Also available in:
No results found.En Nicaragua, Mesoamérica sin Hambre AMEXCID-FAO ha centrado sus esfuerzos en apoyar el diseño y la implementación de instrumentos normativos y de política pública, basados en experiencias validadas y sistematizadas en campo, que contribuyan a mejorar la disponibilidad, el acceso y la calidad de semillas, y con ello a garantizar la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional de los agricultores familiares y de la población nicaragüense en general. En esta labor, los bancos comunitarios de semillas desempeñan un papel fundamental, al ser espacios de organización y participación en los cuales los productores agrícolas tienen la posibilidad de producir semillas de las variedades que utilizan en sus cultivos y reducir su dependencia externa. Estos bancos comunitarios de semillas impulsan procesos de mejoramiento, comercialización, distribución e intercambio solidario de semillas, contribuyendo a incrementar la cantidad y calidad de la producción de granos básicos. Con el objetivo de contribuir a la consolidación de los bancos comunitarios más avanzados hacia pequeños negocios, Mesoamérica sin Hambre AMEXCID-FAO y el Instituto Nicaragüense de Tecnología Agropecuaria han acompañado la elaboración de planes de negocios en tres bancos comunitarios de semillas. Fruto de este proceso, se presenta esta Guía , con el objetivo de servir de herramienta metodológica para impulsar y facilitar la elaboración participativa de estos instrumentos en otros bancos comunitarios de semillas del país. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyA Shift In Global Perspective: Institutionalizing Farmer Field Schools 2015
Also available in:
No results found.The Farmer Field School (FFS) approach has been very successful and witnessed a strong expansion in many areas beyond crop production. Notwithstanding this success, the adoption of FFS in national extension often remains problematic and FFS activities have often been implemented in the margin of national institutions with strong reliance on donor funding. The creation of an enabling environment for institutional support is essential for expanding the effort, improving quality, and strengthening impact and continuity of the FFSs. This paper aims to analyse opportunities, challenges and implications of institutionalizing FFS at the national level. -
Book (stand-alone)General interest bookStories of change: Building competence and confidence in agricultural innovation 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This book tells stories. Stories from very many people. Stories of change – triggered by this complex project, Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation Systems (CDAIS). The stories relate to changes. Personal change. Organizational change. Changes in attitudes. Changes in practice. They tell of improvements in livelihoods. But more importantly, they tell of positive and appreciated changes in individual and organizational approaches – in how people see things and do things. They give some examples of the rich learning experiences stimulated by the CDAIS project, but of course don’t show them all. Also, each is only a ‘snapshot’ – having been written and published on www. cdais.net at different times over the past 12 months, though some have been updated, others show where people were at that point in time. But they all show how competence – but perhaps more importantly – confidence – amongst those involved has changed. Though the main aim of the CDAIS project was to test how and in what ways the approach used worked (or didn’t work), how it could be improved, and in what ways the results could help donors when deciding on the design of future projects. But this is not the purpose of this book. Other publications will explain that in detail. This book just tells stories, with images and testimonies from the field. The ‘end users’, ‘beneficiaries’ or whatever other impersonal terms some in ‘development’ want to call them – the people – here, they air their views. In context. Honestly. Frankly. And, as it seems, positively. But this would not have been possible without the great efforts of very many people. First and foremost are the 40 contributors we have supported – almost all ‘national innovation facilitators’ trained by CDAIS to implement innovation in agricultural systems, to collect these stories. And we are so very proud of their achievements, and the help provided by many others within Agrinatura, national partner organisations, and others in the partnerships concerned. And even after working in rural development for 30 years, some of these experiences have moved us deeply. We are seeing real change. Of that there is no doubt. “Other projects bring us machines, but CDAIS brings us knowledge and a new way of working together” was a common thread to many of the conversations. “And thanks to that it has helped us so much. Thank you.” I visited six of the eight pilot countries during the preparation of this work, so can vouch personally, for many of the testimonies. And as for seeing the faces of those as they spoke the words that are included in the book, the photographs can’t do them justice. I saw the impacts. And now you can seen them too. Enjoy!
