Apps, educación y patrimonio en México. Análisis de situación y estudio comparativo con el caso español

URSULA LUNA PEDRO JOSE CANTO HERRERA ALFREDO ZAPATA GONZALEZ ALEX IBANEZ-ETXEBERRIA (2020, [Artículo])

Este trabajo analiza desde un punto de vista educativo la oferta de apps en torno al patrimonio mexicano. Tras realizar una pequeña revisión de la situación del patrimonio en México y de la implementación de tecnologías digitales, especialmente apps, en el mismo, se hace un breve repaso al estado de la cuestión de la evaluación de apps de contenido patrimonial desde el punto de vista educativo. El estudio, de carácter descriptivo, se realiza desde la perspectiva del estudio de programas siguiendo el método OEPE adaptado al caso de las apps. Los resultados del análisis de la muestra final de 45 apps, muestran similitudes con el contexto español en cuanto a una baja cantidad de apps patrimoniales que puedan considerarse educativas, con escasa atención a la accesibilidad y sin adaptación a diferente tipología de público, prevaleciendo los contenidos y sin un diseño didáctico adecuado. Las diferencias principales se centran en los desarrolladores de apps, que en México son las empresas que crean contenidos dirigidos al turismo, frente a las administraciones públicas y museos en España que ofrecen un discurso patrimonial diverso. Sin embargo, en ambos países encontramos una necesidad de desarrollar apps de calidad que favorezcan su uso educativo.

Farmers’ perspectives as determinants for adoption of conservation agriculture practices in Indo-Gangetic Plains of India

Ajay Kumar Mishra ML JAT (2022, [Artículo])

Understanding the farmer's perspective has traditionally been critical to influencing the adoption and out-scaling of CA-based climate-resilient practices. The objective of this study was to investigate the biophysical, socio-economic, and technical constraints in the adoption of CA by farmers in the Western- and Eastern-IGP, i.e., Karnal, Haryana, and Samastipur, Bihar, respectively. A pre-tested structured questionnaire was administered to 50 households practicing CA in Western- and Eastern-IGP. Smallholder farmers (<2 ha of landholding) in Karnal are 10% and Samastipur 66%. About 46% and 8% of households test soil periodically in Karnal and Samastipur, respectively. Results of PCA suggest economic profitability and soil health as core components from the farmer's motivational perspective in Karnal and Samastipur, respectively. Promotion and scaling up of CA technologies should be targeted per site-specific requirements, emphasizing biophysical resource availability, socio-economic constraints, and future impacts of such technology.

Maize seed aid and seed systems development: Opportunities for synergies in Uganda

Jason Donovan Rachel Voss Pieter Rutsaert (2024, [Artículo])

In the name of food security, governments and NGOs purchase large volumes of maize seed in non-relief situations to provide at reduced or no cost to producers. At the same time, efforts to build formal maize seed systems have been frustrated by slow turnover rates – the dominance of older seed products in the market over newer, higher performing ones. Under certain conditions, governments and NGO seed aid purchases can support formal seed systems development in three ways: i) support increased producer awareness of new products, ii) support local private seed industry development, and iii) advance equity goals by targeting aid to the most vulnerable of producers who lack the capacity to purchase seeds. This study explores the objectives and activities of seed aid programmes in Uganda and their interactions with the maize seed sector. We draw insights from interviews with representatives of seed companies, NGOs and government agencies, as well as focus group discussions with producers. The findings indicated that seed aid programme objectives are largely disconnected from broader seed systems development goals. There is little evidence of public-private collaboration in design of these programmes. Better designed programs have the potential to align with varietal turnover objectives, commercial sector development and targeting of underserved markets could promote equity and ‘crowd in’ demand.
