Technology Transfer and Risks of Knowledge Leakages Through Training Activities: An Assessment in Sovereign Industries

Irrigation sustainability is particularly important in the vicinity of Doñana National Park (Huelva, Spain), where Europe’s most important wetland area coexists with a profitable strawberry irrigation activity. In this paper, an innovation and technology transfer project was laid out. The project was promoted by the Institute of Agricultural and Fisheries Research and Training (IFAPA), belonging to the Regional Government of Andalusia. The main objective of the project was to contribute to the sustainability of the complex ecological, productive, and social system of this region. The project was focused on the rational use of water resources. Experimentation, demonstration, technology transfer, and training activities were carried out, involving public administrations, companies, and private farms. The project was carried out in collaboration with strawberry companies covering a total surface area of 1900 hectares. Irrigation application efficiency and irrigation water productivity increased by 66% and there was also a significant increase in water saving (44%), without resulting production losses. The success of the activity was based on the implication of farmers in experimentation assignments. During a five-year time span, irrigation trials took place on several farms. This fact allowed a progressive improvement of irrigation management by farmers based on confidence in the experimental work results.

Available Resources

Although rural cities and counties in the West appear stable with respect to available resources and demands on their transportation systems, changes in demands and available resources are becoming more evident. Available transportation resources in rural areas are limited at the same time that agriculturally based areas are exploring ways to strengthen their economies. A common approach by local officials is to use the same resources as they have in the past and solve problems as they arise rather than conduct systematic planning for the future. Increasing traffic demands on rural transportation systems, environmental pressures, strict standards, and diversified use make solutions harder to find. Today's legal environment forces cities and counties to adhere to minimum standards in construction and maintenance. The current need for technology transfer and providing assistance to local officials to solve transportation problems is focused on. Several factors adversely affect the transfer of needed information. They fit into two basic categories: ineffective communication on the part of the giver and a lack of desire or ability to receive needed information by local officials. Programs at technology transfer centers throughout the West have been developed to improve the quality and availability of training. The programs are designed to reduce travel, time involvement, cost, and effort required by the local transportation officials to participate in training activities. All of these ideas define technology transfer as communication.

Science Program for Wiayah (IbW) is intended to empower the community to form Kademangan Sub-district in Probolinggo City which is more advanced, more prosperous and more faithful. This objective will be achieved by empowering communities through the development of science and technology based areas with a planned approach, in which communities are involved in the planning, implementation, evaluation and utilization of results. In particular the IbW Program is: (1) To identify potential, realistic, realistic, real, and realistic human resources, condition, and resources in Kademangan sub-district, Probolinggo Municipality; (2) To formulate the potential of human resources and natural resources so that it can be used as a commodity of superior territory; (3) Conducting training activities in the framework of technology transfer produced by Higher Education to the community. The methods used in this Program are survey, and observation. Preparation of action programs conducted through workshop activities. The results of the IbW program are: (1) The socialization of IbW Program with the Local Government of Probolinggo Municipality and the Pohsangit Kidul and Pilang Village Farmer Groups; (2) Counseling on the Benefits and Use of Pesticide Neighbors; (3) Training and practice of Mimba Leaf Processing Becoming Plant Pesticide. The conclusion of the IbW program is that it is very potential to develop bio-pesticide biological agents from neem. To cultivate vegetable pesticides especially from neem by farmers still needed the process and time because farmers are still familiar with chemical pesticides.
