Download or read book Food Into Cities written by Olivio Argenti and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2000 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid growth of African cities means they have a great challenge in ensuring an adequate supply of food to satisfy their nutritional needs in terms of quantity, variety and taste, at accessible/affordable prices. Food supply and distribution systems (FSDS), whether formal or informal, are a key element. An efficient FSDS can increase the availability of food to the urban consumer, and at the same time increase the revenues of both traders and producers. However, there are a number of constraints that impede the efficiency of FSDS and these are discussed in the papers in this Bulletin that address the whole issue of food supply and food security. They are addressed towards urban managers and planners together with professionals and researchers concerned with urban food security.
Download or read book An ecosystemic framework for analysing evidence informed policy systems for agricultural transformation written by Thoto, F., Mas Aparisi, A., Derlagen, C. and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The production and use of evidence for agricultural policy is critical to prioritizing and targeting effective agricultural transformation reforms in African countries. International development organizations have supported programmes that promote evidence-informed policies, however, this support has often been focused on short-term and externally driven solutions, with limited impact in the long run. Faced with this scenario, there is now a growing interest in the role of resilient and sustainable national systems that can generate organic evidence-informed agricultural policy. Yet, there is limited knowledge on how to map out and analyse such systems, which is critical to fostering their emergence and the later uptake of evidence in policymaking. This study draws on ecological science and social network analysis to develop and test a framework that can help understand evidence-policy systems and their potential to sustainably promote evidence-informed policymaking in the agricultural sector. Applying this framework in Benin, the study found that beyond the Ministry of Agriculture, other organizations produce, broker or use evidence such as data, research, evaluation and expert knowledge in a context that is influenced by the institutional rules and setup, the incentives in place and the funding landscape. Furthermore, the paper analyses the sustainability of the evidence-policy system in Benin through its power, resilience and capability. Finally, it provides policy recommendations with the key entry points to improve on and how a system like this can be used to improve agricultural policymaking.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In addition to assessing existing conditions and knowledge, the IAASTD uses a simple set of model projections to look at the future, based on knowledge from past events and existing trends such as population growth, rural/urban food and poverty dynamics, loss of agricultural land, water availability, and climate change effects. This set of volumes comprises the findings of the IAASTD. It consists of a Global Report, a brief Synthesis Report, and 5 subglobal reports. Taken as a whole, the IAASTD reports are an indispensable reference for anyone working in the field of agriculture and rural development, whether at the level of basic research, policy, or practice."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Manuel d laboration des politiques agricoles written by Benoît Daviron and published by Groupe de Recherche et d'Echanges Technologiques. This book was released on 2004 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La place de l'intervention publique dans le secteur agricole des pays en développement a été largement reconsidérée au cours des deux dernières décennies. Malgré un bilan très mitigé des expériences de libéralisation des marchés et de désengagement d'États autrefois omniprésents dans les actions de développement rural, l'évolution des esprits a été telle que l'intervention publique, hier encore légitime, doit aujourd'hui être justifiée sur la base d'arguments économiques précis. Le présent manuel propose une démarche originale d'élaboration des politiques agricoles, fondée sur la construction d'argumentaires légitimant l'intervention publique. Cette construction présente la double caractéristique de mobiliser le langage de l'économie, aujourd'hui dominant, et de reposer sur une dynamique de concertation entre acteurs publics et privés du secteur. L'argumentaire sera en effet d'autant plus solide et convaincant qu'il aura été élaboré conjointement par les différentes parties prenantes du développement rural. Ce travail est le résultat d'une réflexion impulsée par le ministère français des Affaires étrangères et menée par le groupe " Pôle de formateurs africains en politique agricole ". Il se compose de trois parties : une partie méthodologique décrit en détail la démarche en huit étapes, présentant pour chacune son objectif, son contenu, sa mise en œuvre, les concepts et outils qu'elle mobilise. Trois études de cas illustrent l'application de la démarche à une situation concrète. Enfin, des fiches expliquent les différents concepts utilisés et éclairent le lecteur sur certains points de méthode. Ce manuel constitue à la fois un support pédagogique, un guide pour les formateurs en politiques agricoles et un manuel de référence. Il exige une compréhension de base de l'économie mais ne fait appel à aucune connaissance approfondie de formalisation.
