Description: The environment in which agricultural discovery and innovation occurs has been
constantly changing with resultant significant influences on the organization and the
social processes of discovery and innovation. As a result, there have been significant
paradigm shifts in agricultural knowledge generation, dissemination and utilization.
Currently, the knowledge generation, dissemination and utilization processes within the
agricultural sector are guided by four complementary and mutually reinforcing concepts
and principles: the innovation systems perspective (ISP); value chain approach; impact
orientation; and research for development (R4D). Impact orientation and R4D are
implicit in the concept of ISP. A major challenge confronting the agricultural research
for development (AR4D) community is how to integrate these different concepts in the
design, implementation and evaluation of AR4D. However, an operational model that
integrates ISP and value chain approach into AR4D is lacking. This paper is an attempt
to develop such an operational model. The paper also addresses the emerging issues
and challenges in the integration process and its institutionalization within the broader
framework of AR4D.2009-01-01T00:00:00ZDrought Management and Planning for Water Resources192.168.6.56/handle/123456789/888282020-07-30T11:12:53Z2006-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Drought Management and Planning for Water Resources
Editors: Joaquín Andreu Giuseppe Rossi Federico Vagliasindi Alicia Vela
Description: Water resources management in the arid and semiarid areas is a complex task, involving a large number of hydrologic, environmental, and manage- ment factors that have to be considered in order to supply sufficient water and to ensure the minimum levels of environmental protection and quality of life. Droughts, so frequent in the semiarid areas, intensify these problems even more. Since they are unpredictable phenomena (both in their occurrence and duration), prevision and preparation against droughts are key elements for minimizing their impact.2006-01-01T00:00:00Z
