This document summarizes a presentation on aquaculture nutrition and sustainability. It discusses how aquaculture is the fastest growing food sector, currently supplying almost 50% of the world's food fish. However, continued growth will require an additional 40 million tons per year by 2030. The presentation addresses challenges like dependence on fisheries stocks for feed ingredients and proposes solutions like domestication, selective breeding, integrated production systems, and microbial management to develop a more sustainable and knowledge-based aquaculture industry. Examples of successful integrated systems and species in both food and business aquaculture in Asia and other regions are also provided. The role of microbes in aquaculture systems is highlighted.Technology solutions for global challenges

Sustainable Food Production System
This document discusses factors that contribute to sustainable food production systems. It explains that climate, geography and geology influence agriculture in different regions, with some areas able to use almost all land for farming while others have limitations. Sustainable agriculture is defined as a system that satisfies food needs over the long term while conserving resources. Methods to improve sustainability include pest management, rotational grazing, soil conservation, and increasing crop diversity. The document also discusses aquaculture and concerns about effects of climate change on European agriculture. Achieving global food security by 2050 will require increased production while maintaining sustainability.
Fostering Sustainability and Resilience for Food Security in Sub Saharan Africa

The document discusses fostering sustainability and resilience for food security in Sub-Saharan Africa. It notes that the region's population is projected to reach 2 billion in the next 30 years, but currently 24% of people are undernourished with cereal yields half the world average. Current agricultural intensification focuses on high fertilizer and seeds but risks compromising sustainability. The Global Environment Facility proposes a pilot program to strengthen natural resource management and ecosystem services to achieve intensification that is sustainable and resilient. The $120 million program aims to generate $1 billion in co-financing to benefit millions of smallholder farmers across dryland regions in Africa.Accelerating Innovation in Agriculture 2014 01-23

The document calls for a transformational process in Sub-Saharan agriculture to build resilience to climate change through three key components: transitioning from vulnerability to resilience, adaptation to adaptation and mitigation, and piecemeal adaptation to transformational processes. It outlines 10 domains of action including generating accurate climate information, increasing crop resilience to higher temperatures and variable rainfall, diversifying and intensifying production systems, and developing safety nets. Partnerships between farmers' organizations, government, private sector and others are needed to implement solutions at local and national levels through decentralized and centralized innovation systems.Bioversity International Strategic Plan 2014-2024

Community seed banks and farmers’ rights
Bioversity International policy scientist Ronnie Vernooy gave this presentation at the the Global Consultation on Farmers’ Rights, Indonesia, 27-30 September 2016, organized by the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Plant Treaty).
The importance of farmers’ rights is recognized in Article 9 of the Plant Treaty.
In this presentation Vernooy shows how a community-based approach to the management of agricultural biodiversity, including supporting community seedbanks, can empower and benefit smallholder farmers and farming communities economically, environmentally and socially. This approach makes implementing farmers’ rights at national level both practical and effective contributing to food and seed security, sustainable livelihoods and resilience.

This document discusses mainstreaming agricultural biodiversity through incentives and investments. It argues that conservation strategies for wild and agricultural biodiversity are largely pursued separately despite their interdependencies. Only 30% of national biodiversity strategic action plans include details on agrobiodiversity conservation and use. The document highlights examples from Brazil of using school feeding programs and market incentives to promote consumption of nutrient-rich native species. It also discusses the benefits of maintaining forest borders around coffee fields to reduce crop pests by attracting predators like the yellow warbler. The document advocates for payment programs that reward farmers for conserving crop wild relatives and genetic resources and outlines threats to forest foods in Burkina Faso mapped through a multi-threat model.

Climate smart agriculture
This document discusses climate-smart agriculture (CSA). CSA aims to sustainably increase productivity and income, strengthen resilience to climate change, and reduce agriculture's contribution to climate change. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) supports CSA through approaches like the landscape approach, which deals with large-scale processes in an integrated manner. The document also discusses farming systems and practices that can help achieve CSA's goals, such as conservation agriculture, agroforestry, and integrated food-energy systems. Finally, the role of institutions in enabling policies, disseminating information, addressing data gaps, and supporting financing is discussed.

Fish and food security: sustainable intensification of aquaculture
1. Fish is a key source of nutrition, especially in Asia, and demand is growing rapidly as populations and incomes increase.
2. Aquaculture production must more than double by 2050 to meet projected demand, but current practices risk significant environmental impacts if not intensified sustainably.
3. Sustainable intensification focuses on increasing production while reducing environmental impacts through improved technologies, management practices, regulations and inclusive development that benefits small-scale farmers and consumers.

Building Smallholder Farmer Resilience to Climate Change in Africa: Building ...
There is a renewed interest in the role of agriculture at the climate change negotiations, as evidenced by a number of interesting side-events during COP 16 in Cancun. The reason is simple: Agriculture and related activities account for a third of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, most of which can be mitigated, an opportunity that policy makers simply cannot afford to miss. What’s more, some of the techniques that sequester carbon have the added advantage of building the water-retention capacity and nutrient content of soils, hence contributing to a triple-win situation where mitigation, adaptation and yield increases are all addressed.
In response to this, SIANI and Sida arranged a one-day workshop on the theme From Source to Sink: How to make Agriculture part of the Solution to Climate Change while contributing to Poverty Alleviation? The main purpose of the workshop was to link the multiple potentials of agriculture to other development goals such as over-all poverty alleviation and food security, with particular reference to the needs of smallholder farmers who make up 70% of the world’s poorest people.

The document discusses Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD), an international mechanism to incentivize reducing deforestation rates in developing countries. REDD has the potential to provide large financial benefits but also risks. It may reward countries with historically poor forest management. Ensuring benefits reach small producers and rural poor communities presents governance challenges. While REDD could fund shifts to more sustainable forestry and agriculture, strict rules may disadvantage small producers. Careful program design is needed to balance environmental, economic and social objectives.

10 years of research for development through engagement with the rural poorInternational Water Management Institute (IWMI)
Through 10 years of research across multiple river basins in Africa and Asia, the Challenge Program on Water and Food analyzed water, food, and poverty issues affecting 1.5 billion people living on less than $1.25 per day. The program addressed these complex problems through basin-focused research that developed sustainable solutions for water management, agricultural intensification, and benefit sharing through stakeholder engagement. Key outcomes included identifying cropping systems and land uses for the Mekong basin that increased benefits for communities while allowing for hydropower development, and institutional and technical innovations in the Ganges basin that supported diversified and resilient agricultural systems.Sustainable agriculture development in Ethiopia
Ecological agriculture practices have been successfully implemented in Tigray, Ethiopia to address challenges of overgrazing, soil degradation, and poverty. The Tigray Project promoted (1) local bylaws to empower community control of resources, (2) biological and physical soil/water conservation, and (3) composting with low external inputs to improve soil fertility. Results include increased incomes, crop yields equal or exceeding chemical fertilizers, reforestation, and spring water returns. The project reconnects youth to sustainable traditions and empowers innovator farmers to spread solutions. It provides a model for climate-resilient smallholder agriculture adaptation across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Hyderabad | Sep-16 | SAFE Network – An Initiative to support Smallholder Farmers
Smallholder farmers in India are facing significant challenges from climate change impacts like droughts and floods. In the past, farmers relied on organic methods and adequate rainfall/water sources, but now face issues like depleted groundwater, erratic rainfall, use of chemicals, and unreliable electricity. The future of farming requires sustainable energy-dependent practices, water conservation, afforestation, and diversified crops. Supporting smallholder farmers is important as they make up the majority of Indian farmers but have limited irrigation access. Grassroots organizations aim to promote best practices, form farmer groups, and support farmers through challenges like seed banks and veterinary care.

Traditional knowledge in climate smart agriculture
Traditional knowledge is unique to a given culture or society which established over time. It is techniques or practices which is well knitted with customs, traditions and beliefs in rural life. Mainly rural people or tribal are main custodian of this traditional knowledge. The traditional knowledge or practices are found to be socially desirable, economically affordable, sustainable, and involve minimum risk to rural farmers and producers. This knowledge is evolved over time periods so it offers a climate resiliency. The knowledge is also based on their belief and customs, so it is location specific and acceptable. As modern science or approaches are not well suited to many rural or remote locations, there integration between these two knowledge may provide better understanding and result. Modern approaches are resource exploitable however it is widely believed that traditional practices try to conserve resources. It provides basis for problem solving strategies for local communities. CSA identifies agricultural strategies suitable to local conditions for sustainable food production under climate change scenario.
