dialogue demanding innovation researchers in acp countries are facing a growing range of challenges. they are required to respond effectively to the demands of policy makers, private sector investors and donor agencies, farmers and other stakeholders in the agri-food chain. they are being asked to deliver research outputs that will improve agricultural productivity, food quality and food safety, in order to increase their countries competitiveness in global markets, and contribute to food security, poverty alleviation and sustainable development. at the same time, researchers must be socially and ethically responsible and contribute to the advancement of science and technology. as the demands for accountability increase and the levels of funding diminish, researchers need to prioritize and strategize their responses. differentiated s&t strategies for improving productivity of acp farming systems acp farming systems are very diverse and the scientific community must be able to provide adequate responses to meet the varied needs of small subsistence farmers who make up the majority of the acp farming community while simultaneously addressing the needs of the medium to large-scale farming enterprises to compete on price, quality, responsiveness to changing consumer demands and reliability in supply in all markets. therein lies the challenge as there is no one-size fits all approach that will enable researchers to respond to the needs of small scale farmers who are primarily concerned with sustainable livelihoods or medium to large-scale farms who wish to remain competitive and take advantage of any opportunities despite deteriorating environmental conditions and trade and economic restrictions. within the last few years, the acp region has seen a resurgence of emphasis on family farms which are being valued not only for their contribution to maintaining social order but to environmental sustainability. this dossier provides guidance and lessons learned on the need for the acp region to apply a differentiated strategic approach for using science to enhance the performance of acp agricultural sector. early dialogues on s&t policy some of the most

the acp poultry value chain the poultry value chain in africa, caribbean and the pacific (acp) countries involves both large-scale integrated enterprises and small-scale production systems. the former have benefited from capital investments, access to information and scientific research, whereas the latter remain isolated despite their significance. family poultry comprises approximately 80% of the world's total poultry stock and plays a key role in many households in acp countries for food and nutrition security, livelihoods and conservation of indigenous breeds. an analysis of the family poultry value chain, including its poor productivity and low financial and technical inputs, shows that it contrasts markedly with conditions in large-scale commercial poultry enterprises. governments and researchers would be well advised to thoroughly review the family poultry value chains to identify priorities for science and innovation that can contribute to improved efficiency for the provision of eggs, live birds, fresh-chilled, frozen and other value-added poultry products. this summary is provided by cabi and cta, july 2012. other commodities bananas the acp group of states need

regional efforts and collaborate to harness science and technology for the development of agriculture in their countries. cta top 20 innovations that benefit smallholder farmers by judith ann francis over the years, cta has contributed to building acp capacity to understand innovation processes, strengthen the agricultural innovation system and embed innovation thinking in agricultural and rural development strategies. the cta top 20 innovations project set out to prove that innovation is taking place in acp agriculture and in the process has demonstrated that smallholder farmers are beneficiaries as well as partners in agricultural innovation. the cta top 20 innovations that were selected from among the 251 submissions that had been received from 49 countries showcase the ingenuity of numerous stakeholders who are innovating and by their collective efforts are making a difference in the livelihoods of acp smallholder farmers and their families. 29/04/2016 read more...
