DocumentTechnical studyFarm 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. -
Book (stand-alone)General interest bookSistemas silvopastoriles y su contribución al uso eficiente de los recursos y a los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible: Evidencia desde América Latina 2020
Also available in:
Este documento representa el esfuerzo conjunto entre dos redes de acción de la Agenda Global: (i) Cerrando la brecha de la eficiencia y (ii) la Red Global en Sistemas Silvopastoriles. Un marco de referencia para evaluar el uso de los recursos naturales es aplicado a una variedad de modelos de producción silvopastoril para determinar su productividad y sus beneficios socioeconómicos y ambientales. Se presenta una visión general de los SSP, sus principales características y ventajas en términos productivos, ambientales y climáticos, y su contribución a los ODS, describiendo los resultados de diez estudios de caso de adopción de sistemas silvopastoriles en diversos contextos en Colombia, México, y Argentina, concentrándose en la productividad de la tierra, producción de carne y leche, y desempeño económico a nivel de finca. Basados en los resultados, se presentan recomendaciones de política pública que sirvan para el escalamiento y promoción de los SSP en Latinoamérica y otras regiones. -

The Land Tenure Journal, launched in early 2010, is a successor to the Land Reform, Land Settlement and Cooperatives, which was published between 1964 and 2009. The Land Tenure Journal is a medium for the dissemination of quality information and diversified views on land and natural resources tenure. It aim s to be a leading publication in the areas of land tenure, land policy and land reform. The prime beneficiaries of the journal are land administrators and professionals although it also allows room for relevant academic contributions and theoretical analyses.
