| RESUMO: A necessidade de dados para avaliação financeira e econômica de tecnologias agropecuárias e de aperfeiçoamento de procedimentos gerenciais de fazendas, por meio de recursos de informática, levou a Embrapa Cerrados à proposição de um sistema de informações gerenciais para fazendas em parceria com dois produtores familiares e um agrônomo autônomo. Dois estudos de caso em fazendas, na região sul goiana, vêm fundamentando o processo de criação de protótipo do sistema. Utilizando-se do Microsoft Access, foram desenvolvidos os módulos de controle financeiro, de custos, de estoques e de análise de resultados. Módulos de controle de máquinas, de pessoal, do rebanho e de mapas georreferenciados encontram-se em desenvolvimento. Na especificação do módulo de... |

| Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar, em termos gerais, a AbAC e o método intitulado Diagnóstico Comportamental de Atividade Produtiva (DCAP), desenvolvido para avaliar resultados relacionados à adoção e ao impacto de tecnologias. O DCAP foi elaborado com base em duas contribuições teóricas: de Fishbein e Ajzen (Predicting and changing behavior: the reasoned action approach) e o método de Taylor-Powell e Henert (Developing a logical model: teaching and a training guide), usados em conjunto com variáveis relacionadas a resultados de curto prazo (conhecimento e motivação), médio prazo (ação) e longo prazo (impacto). O método foi projetado para ser operacionalizado por meio de cinco etapas sequenciais: 1) Delineamento ? definição do público-alvo,... |

| Climate changes are occurring rapidly at both regional and global scales. Farmers are faced with the challenge of developing new agricultural practices to help them to cope with unpredictable changes in environmental, social, and economic conditions. Under these conditions, adaptive management requires a farmer to learn by monitoring provisional strategies and changing conditions, and then incrementally adjust management practices in light of new information. Exploring adaptive management will increase our understanding of the underlying processes that link farmer societies with their environment across space and time, while accounting for the impacts of an unpredictable climate. Here, we assessed the impacts of temperature and crop price, as surrogates... |

| Machadinho is a Colonization Project created by the National Institute of Colonization and Agrary Reform (INCRA) in 1982 as part of the POLONOROESTE Project, financed by the World Bank. It is located in Rondonia State (western region of Brazilian Amazonia) and has a population of approximately 32,000 habitants living in an area of 209,000 ha divided in 2,934 plots of land for farming, 17 Florest Reserves, 15 urban areas and one airport. The 1986 and 1989 EMBRAPA's study showed that: 1) the agriculture's practice is totally manual; 2) settlers use the strategy of great multiplicity of small investments (animal or vegetal production) to avoid losses; 3) the use of modern technology is limited; 4) productivity is low; 5) life condition is of almost complete... |

| The paper sets out the agenda for reviewing models of decision making in the context of farmers’ use of seasonal climate forecasting. Such forecasts have been framed in terms of shifts in cumulative distribution functions of yields or gross margins. Typically they have been applied to choices about crop variety, crop type, time of planting or level of fertiliser application. Fundamental questions are: how do farmers conceptualise and make use of the information contained in seasonal climate forecasts? Do our models of decision making represent well the way in which these decisions are made? |

| ABSTRACT: This study to present information from literature about evaluation of social programs, which were used later on to evaluate the Pronaf (a credit line for small farmers implemented by the Brazilian Federal Government) in Paraiba state. Several approaches about the evolution logic models were identified, in which data and information are gathered through tables or input lists, activities, products, results, in which was verified the recommendation of quasi-experimentation design, with control group, to isolate results of the specific program. Moreover, concepts related to hard indexes and perception data were also presented to facilitate visualization of how determined variable criterion occurs in the real world, i. e., how e perception data can be... |

| Two banana supply chains (BSC), one in Indonesia (BSC1) and one in Australia (BSC2), are described based on case study research conducted in 2002. BSC1 sources bananas from small farmers for distribution through traditional markets in Jakarta. BSC2 includes farmers supplying to both major and independent retailers in Sydney through a wholesale agency with some farmer ownership. Farmers in both chains live in relative isolation from the main markets for their bananas. Prices for their bananas depend on the market prices in the city, upon which they have little control. This paper focuses on how farmers removed from key markets, deal with buyers to receive fair prices. In both chains, most transactions between farmers and their buyers were completed through... |

| Small holders' agriculture is currently facing new stakes due to State's withdrawal from agricultural support and to higher market requests for producing agricultural products. Different coordination mechanisms can be observed inside the supply chains involving farmers, farmers' organizations, and others stakeholders. They depend on the nature of the product, the characteristics of the stakeholders involved, the technical specifications related to the transactions, and the institutional environment. Relying on a comparative case study methodology, the paper analyzes the consequences of different coordination mechanisms on inclusion or exclusion of small farmers in the northern region of Costa Rica. Market coordination could be an efficient way to integrate... |

| The Ministry of Agriculture of People’s Republic of China put in practice in non-hazardous food production and high-toxicity pesticides elimination, which aim at human, food and environmental safety. To investigate 491 farmers in Sichuan Province, the paper analyzes comparatively training content, fixed-point samples, different areas and training influence. The training content focuses on pesticide purchase, label reading, personal protection, container disposal, sprayer maintenance and sprayer cleaning. The results of SPSS statistical software show that there is a significant difference in 30 fixed-point samples between before and after training, and each index has obvious performance. And the results of component score and comprehensive scores of... |

| The occurrence of El Nino causes tremendous havoc to economies. Recognizing this problem, the Philippine government has been introducing measures to mitigate the impact of the El Nino phenomenon. One of the measures to lessen the vulnerability of the farmers on El Nino related risk is the Small Water Impounding Projects (SWIPs). Furthermore, farmers have their own initiatives and coping mechanisms to mitigate the effects of El Nino. This research was undertaken to document the coping mechanisms, which would be useful in policy formulation. This study aims to: a) Determine the impacts of El Nino-related abnormal weather changes on agricultural production and farmers' income; b) Document the existing farming systems, resources, infrastructure, institutions,... |

| Milk producers in northern Australia are attempting to make rapid adjustments to production systems that enable them to compete in a newly deregulated market, although there is uncertainty about how to do this. Through industry consultation and expert review a process was developed to identify production systems that may be capable of supporting economic targets of 10% return on assets and 600,000 L milk/labour unit. A broadly based project team in terms of disciplines then used this process to identify five production systems which were each applicable to substantial numbers of current milk producers. These were modelled using whole farm economic analyses and annual feed planning, using an iterative process over an extended period, to determine the... |
