Presentation given at the session on 'Seeds of Resilience - Novel strategies for using crop diversity in climate change adaptation' at Tropentag 2016, September 21st, Vienna, by Bioversity International scientist Ronnie Vernooy. Future impacts of climate change are expected to become more pronounced in many parts of the world, forcing farmers to change their practices and causing them to find crops and varieties better adapted to new weather dynamics. Providing farmers with better access to crop and varietal diversity can strengthen their capacity to adapt to climate change. Under supportive policy and socioeconomic conditions, such strengthened capacity could contribute to greater food availability throughout the year, the production of more nutritious and healthy crops, and income generation. This is easier said than done. How do we design and implement a comprehensive strategy that will allow farmers to access and use plant genetic diversity more effectively in the context of climate change adaptation? This session responded to this question through an interactive introduction to the challenge of enabling farmers to use climate-adapted germplasm (led by Bioversity International), a practical example from the field to bring new diversity to farmers fields (a case study from Uganda), and a “this is how we support crop diversification for climate change adaptation” exchange among a number of experts from government (development cooperation), private sector and civil society.

Ehsan Dulloo, Bioversity International Conservation and Availability Programme Leader, presented at the international conference Enhanced genepool utilization - Capturing wild relative and landrace diversity for crop improvement, in Cambridge, UK, 16-20 June 2014. It is said that “you can't manage what you don't measure”. The unprecedented global loss of agricultural species, varieties and associated traditional knowledge is of increasing concern, threatening the provisioning, regulatory, supporting and cultural ecosystem services of importance to the livelihoods of the poor as well as the welfare of broader society. Such services include such public goods as maintaining agroecosystem resilience and future option values. Unfortunately, although many crop genetic resources (CGR) are widely recognized as being threatened, there is only limited information available regarding actual status. Only isolated efforts at monitoring have been undertaken. Conventional monitoring efforts, where they exist at all, have been subject to limitations due to ad hoc approaches that lack rigorous survey and sampling approaches, do not adequately account for search effort costs or systematically involve the participation of local-level actors, and are usually based on collections instead of direct observations in the field. Furthermore, the links between specific CGR conservation levels/configurations and the provision of specific ecosystem services are poorly understood. There is thus an urgent need for the development of a systematic approach to the monitoring of CGR. This presentation draws on the outcome of a recent Bioversity International/CIP international expert workshop aimed at the development of such an approach. The proposed multi-scale approach builds on a wide range of existing monitoring experiences and a review of the literature related to agricultural biodiversity-relevant ecosystem services. A number of proposed indicators that could be used to assess CGR threat levels, be used for monitoring purposes and/or assist in evaluating ecosystem service public/private good trade-offs arising from agricultural intensification are presented, with a view to supporting the potential for prioritizing, designing and implementing on-farm/in situ conservation measures that actively involve farmers, support livelihoods, complement existing ex situ conservation efforts and facilitate access and benefit sharing.

Presenter: Dr. Marie Haga Executive Director, Global Crop Diversity Trust. Facing demographic and climate changes, our best and most important tool to develop a resilient agricultural system is found in the natural diversity of crops and within crops. The Global Crop Diversity Trust (Crop Trust) works to safeguard the most important collections of crop diversity in genebanks around the world. This global common good will guarantee farmers and plant breeders have access to the raw materials needed to improve our crops, and ultimately, feed the world.

Content strategists at Facebook plan, structure, and create content for more than a billion people. But they’re not writers or content marketers—they’re interaction designers, information architects, and UX practitioners. They design and build product experiences that are simple, straightforward and human. And so can you. Content strategy isn't just for big organizations. It's for anyone who's building an experience. And by using our approach, you can start building better content. In this presentation, you'll learn: - How content strategy works in a context of product design and development - A framework for minimum viable content that provides quality and consistency - How to build and iterate on product content experiences to meet people's needs - How to stand up and become a better advocate for the people using your products Stand up for putting The Why before The How. Stand up for value, ease of use, and craft. Stand up for meeting (and exceeding) people's needs. Stand up for BETTER CONTENT! Inspired by Maria Giudice of Facebook, Ian Lurie of Portent, and Jason Mesut of Plan. Based on the works of Jesse James Garrett, Simon Sinek, A.H. Maslow, Kristina Halvorson, Rachel Lovinger, Dan Saffer/Kicker Studio, Erin Kissane, Michael Powers, Sarah O'Keefe, Hilary Marsh, Wouter De Bres, Matt Toback, Eric Ries/The Lean Startup, Dr. Chun Wei Choo, Libby Brittain, and more. Featuring the design work of the Facebook Analog Research Lab, including concepts by Julie Zhuo, Russ Maschmeyer, and Adam Mosseri of Facebook along with content standards from Facebook's Content Strategy team. Originally presented at Content Marketing World on September 10, 2014 in Cleveland, Ohio.
