This paper specifically addresses the hypothesis that access to land and forest resources is gendered and poverty-related among land reform migrants in Zimbabwe.
The project aims at developing, testing and sharing a conceptual framework for implementing and assessing gender-responsive information and communication technology (ICT4scale), for scaling agricultural solutions in rural regions.
Farm Radio Trust (FRT) will carry out a three-year research study starting in 2018 to find out how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) impacts on agricultural productivity in Malawi.
Maize, rice, beans, cassava, sweet potato, fish and groundnuts are among the most important food commodities in Malawi. Losses along the post harvest (PH) chains are fuelled by inefficiencies in handling, storage and preservation methods.
Access to extension services was found to be an important factor for adoption of post harvest (PH) technologies in Benin. Consequently, there is need to give more impetus to outreach programmes.
This presentation reviews and compares icipe (International Centre of Physiology and Ecology-African Insect Science for Food Health) innovations and responses to food security issues with other groups (such as FAO/World Bank).
