The traditional linear technology transfer model has limited effectiveness in promoting the uptake of
technologies and innovations. It fails to account for complexity within the agri-food system, is too
simplistic and does not fully consider forward and backward feedback loops in the food system or pay
adequate attention to context. There is, therefore, an increasing interest in investors and decision makers making use of alternative instruments (such as innovation platforms or accelerators) to

This analysis covers the Major challenges for climate change adaptation for the agriculture sector of Honduras, Including the understanding of the plausible future scenarios and threats and the role of institutional networks and their links with vulnerable spaces.

This training guide was developed by the potato component of the Accelerated Value Chain Development
(AVCD) program with contributions from Edward Mwakio, a business skills consultant, and from county
agribusiness development officers in the six project intervention counties. Preparation of this guide is based on
the experience and the feedback from different trainers and participants.

This proposal on how to integrate the development and implementation of CS-MAP into the government’s policy framework was drafted by Former Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Dr. Bui Ba Bong. In the policy document, CS-MAP can be integrated into national and sectoral policies and plans, such as in the National Plan to adapt to climate change, Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to climate change mitigation in the agricultural sector, and in the national and regional agricultural restructuring plan for the period 2021-2025.

In developing countries, agricultural credit plays a vital role in supporting agricultural production and productivity increases. Together with other political and economic elements, credit can be a useful tool to promote innovation, improve resource allocation, and, properly targeted, help diminish inequality gaps, thereby generating a cycle of economic prosperity.

Malnutrition among children of school-going age is a challenge of serious concern in developing countries especially Sub-Saharan Africa. Many programs focus on mothers and under-5-year-old children, leaving the school going age unattended. It has been shown that school meals can reduce school absenteeism, improve concentration in class and reduce early dropouts. In Tanzania, successful home-grown school feeding programs are localized in few areas but have not been scaled-out.

Two consecutive workshops were conducted on 20th and 27th of July 2021 at Bahir Dar and Debrezeit, respectively. The workshops were aimed at engaging Ethiopian Universities in up-scaling of community based breeding programs (CBBP) through incorporation of CBBP in animal breeding curriculum and being involved in the implementation of CBBP in the vicinity of the Universities.

Through this initiative of public private partnership development, ICRISAT/CCAFS aims to analyze the partnership’s environment to establish the public private partnership required to promote the sustainable use of climate services and agro-advisories for improving management of climatic risks by farmers and pastoralists from the GGW area in Mali.

Latin America and the Caribbean play an essential role in the global cattle sector since they contribute more than 25% of the global beef and 10% of the global milk production. The sector generates both internal and external benefits as it guarantees the food security of the countries and energizes their economies. Cattle production in the region not only goes back a long way but also appears to be anticipating a promising future.

Rangelands can be described as land on which the vegetation
is predominantly grasses, grass-like plants, forbs or shrubs,
and often with trees that are grazed or have the potential to be
grazed by livestock and wildlife. They are diverse in their vegetation
driven by highly fluctuating rainfall, temperature and other climate
phenomena, and habitat for a wide range of wildlife, many species
of which are found nowhere else. Rangelands store vast amounts of
carbon and either originate or serve as freshwater catchment areas for

Malnutrition, mostly resulting from poor food, health, and care practices, is related to physiological, socioeconomic, and psychological factors and remains one of the leading causes of mortality in children under five years of age in low- and middle-income countries. Nigeria, as with many parts of the world, is experiencing a multiple malnutrition burden, where undernutrition, including micronutrient deficiencies, exists alongside overweight, obesity, and associated diet-related non-communicable diseases.
