This document discusses improving land and water management in Africa. It summarizes that soil quality and fertilizer use is relatively low in Africa compared to other regions, contributing to lower cereal yields, which have historically increased through expanding farmland rather than improving yields. It also notes that conservation agriculture, water harvesting, and agroforestry techniques have potential to increase yields when applied in various African countries. Overall the document advocates an integrated landscape approach that considers gender and scaling up improved practices on over 300 million hectares through communication, policy reforms, capacity building, and mainstream investment.Brussels Briefing n. 56: Craig Hanson "Sustainability of resources and confli...

- Agriculture accounts for over 80% of global freshwater usage, mainly for food production. Meeting future global food and energy demands in a sustainable manner poses challenges due to increasing water constraints.
- Closing yield gaps through irrigation expansion could help boost food production, but over 40% of current irrigation is unsustainable due to exceeding local water availability. Agricultural intensification must be pursued carefully to avoid environmental degradation.
- Transitioning to more efficient irrigation practices, suitable crops, and agricultural production systems could allow for sustainable increases in food supply while reducing overall water usage. However, ensuring local and global food and water security remains complex with growing population and dietary changes.Climate Change and Jamaica's Agricultural Sector
The document discusses the impacts of climate change on Jamaica's agricultural sector. It notes that small farmers, who make up 85% of agricultural holdings and rely on rain-fed production, are highly vulnerable. Climate change is already causing more variable rainfall patterns, increased temperatures, and more frequent extreme weather. This has resulted in losses estimated at $14.4 billion between 1994-2010. More frequent droughts and hurricanes damage infrastructure and lower crop yields, threatening food security as local production becomes less predictable and reliable.

This document summarizes a study on future water availability and food security in the Nile Basin. Population growth is increasing food demand substantially by 2025. The study models three scenarios for meeting this demand: national priorities, upstream control, and basin cooperation. Basin cooperation through improved rainfed agriculture, irrigation, hydropower, and food trade could increase agricultural production by 38% and gross profits by $1154 million, better satisfying needs across the region. Stabilizing political relations and optimizing water allocation over space and time are keys to ensuring long-term food security for all Nile Basin countries.

The document discusses the dual challenge of doubling food production while facing increasing water scarcity and climate change impacts. It notes that food production will need to double by 2050 to feed the growing population, but water needs are also expected to double if practices do not change. Climate change is projected to make some areas wetter and others drier. Solutions discussed include improving water management, upgrading rainfed agriculture, developing a range of agricultural water management options, increasing water storage, and utilizing groundwater resources. However, agricultural water management has not been implemented widely or rapidly enough. Barriers include institutional issues, lack of focus on the poor and women, and insufficient capacity and investment.
BSEF 2013 agriculture Aaron Schapper
1) Irrigated agriculture has played a key role in increasing global food production over the last 50 years, with 40% of the increased production coming from irrigated farmland as the area of rainfed agriculture has remained largely unchanged.
2) As the global population continues to grow, production intensity through precision irrigation will be critical to meet future food needs.
3) Irrigation provides significant yield benefits and production stability compared to rainfed agriculture, helping mitigate risks from variable weather conditions.
Claudia Ringler, IFPRI
1. Climate change is projected to increase water-related risks like water shortages and floods through changes in water quantity and quality. This poses challenges for the agriculture sector.
2. Adaptation options like improving water storage, irrigation systems, and rainfed agriculture as well as policies around trade, population growth, and pollution management need to be comprehensively assessed to address impacts on water availability, agricultural production, and food security under climate change.
3. Both water-based technical solutions and non-water policy options will be important to manage the growing problems of water variability, scarcity, and degradation exacerbated by climate change and socioeconomic development.

Presented by G. Pitois at the Global Water Systems Project Water in the Anthropocene Conference in Bonn, Germany May 21-24thKaren Villholth, International Water Management Institute
The document summarizes the role of groundwater in global food security. Some key points:
- Groundwater irrigation currently provides 43% of irrigation water globally and supports 10% of global food production.
- An estimated 15.5-18.5% of global groundwater irrigation relies on non-renewable groundwater resources, threatening future food security.
- The document analyzes data on groundwater depletion rates, irrigation intensities, food production dependent on groundwater, and potential for increasing sustainable groundwater irrigation in Africa and elsewhere.
- It concludes that urgent action is needed to address increasing reliance on non-sustainable groundwater for food production and potential solutions involve broader food and water policies.

This document discusses the potential benefits of biofuels for reducing poverty and addresses concerns about biofuels and food security, climate change, water usage, and biodiversity. It argues that biofuels could provide income and employment for rural poor through expanding crop production, and that impacts could be minimized by using non-food crops and sustainable farming techniques. Concerns about biofuels impacting food prices, water, and deforestation are complex issues that require considering population growth and alternative livelihoods.
Linking soil biodiversity, water regulation and agricultural
The document presents a conceptual framework for linking soil biodiversity, water regulation, and agricultural production. It outlines a model that shows soil biodiversity has both productive value by increasing agricultural production and insurance value by decreasing production variability and protecting against risks. The results show that for areas with poor soil, small increases in soil biodiversity can lead to large gains in production and decreases in variability. The model also finds that farmers growing low water productivity crops are more likely to rely on soil biodiversity for its insurance benefits. Additionally, the framework suggests soil biodiversity management as a means of alternative water management and risk mitigation under climate change.
Food Loss and Waste, Champions 12.3 #champions123
Sustainable Development Goal Target 12.3 calls for the world to cut per capita food waste in half by 2030. If met, this ambitious target will not only boost food security, but also improve livelihoods, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save land and water. In short, curbing food waste is both a goal in itself and a means of achieving other SDGs. Here's what we know about food loss and waste now.

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.Links between soil management and food security in West Africa - Victor O Chude
Poor soil management in West Africa has led to low agricultural productivity and food insecurity. Soil degradation issues like erosion, salinization, and nutrient depletion rates classified several countries as having moderate to very high loss. However, improved soil management strategies like conservation agriculture, enhancing soil fertility, and adapting to climate change can help restore degraded soils and improve food security. With better soil stewardship, West Africa's soils have the ability to sufficiently feed current and future populations.

This document discusses the alarming trend of land degradation in Southern Africa and the challenges it poses. It proposes adopting sustainable land use practices like agroforestry, farmer managed natural regeneration, and conservation agriculture to restore degraded land. These approaches integrate trees into agricultural systems, improving soil fertility, microclimate buffering, and food security. The document calls for commitments to scale up these climate-smart agricultural practices across Africa to restore degraded farmland and meet development goals.

Dating violence and abuse among teenagers
Teen dating violence is defined as physical, sexual, psychological or emotional violence within a dating relationship between a current or former partner. More than 20% of adolescents experience violence from an intimate partner. Young women between 16-24 experience the highest rates. Unhealthy relationships can have severe short and long term negative consequences on a developing teen, including depression, anxiety, unhealthy behaviors like substance abuse, antisocial behaviors, and thoughts of suicide. Education about healthy relationships and support resources can help prevent dating violence.

Inotrope use in icu patient fink
Dobutamine and dopamine are commonly used inotropic agents that increase cardiac output by increasing stroke volume, though dopamine can increase afterload at higher doses. Epinephrine and norepinephrine also increase contractility through beta-1 agonism but have greater vasopressor effects. Dobutamine is preferred over dopamine when treating cardiogenic shock due to its more predictable cardiac effects. In septic shock, dobutamine with norepinephrine is recommended to increase cardiac output while maintaining blood pressure, though epinephrine is an alternative. The effects of inotropes on tissue oxygen utilization must also be considered, as agents like dopamine may impair splanchnic perfusion despite increasing cardiac output.

Eau Et Crise Alimentaire Paris 18 Nov 09[1]
- The world faces both a food crisis and a water crisis that are interrelated and driven by similar long-term trends like population growth and dietary changes as well as short-term factors like biofuel production and speculation.
- To overcome these crises, we must increase water and food productivity while also improving the resilience of food production systems to better cope with global changes through approaches like multiple water use systems and soil water conservation techniques.
- Achieving this will require changes in how we think about and manage water and agriculture locally and globally with a focus on both technical solutions and relationships between stakeholders.

This document summarizes a study that used the contingent valuation method to estimate demand for improved rainwater harvesting in coastal regions of Ghana. The study found that 93.2% of respondents were willing to pay 0.025 GH¢ daily for a 34cm container of clean rainwater. Socioeconomic factors like income, education, and gender influenced willingness to pay. The study recommends that the government provide modern rainwater harvesting facilities given high poverty levels in coastal areas. It also suggests increasing education on modern rainwater harvesting methods before implementing new strategies in Ghana.
[Challenge:Future] Bilateral Partnership Programme
Lim Ruo Shuang proposes a Bilateral Partnership Programme to address increasing global water scarcity. The programme would match countries experiencing water crises with countries that have advanced water technologies or food supplies to exchange resources. An initial group of 3-5 country pairs would transfer technology for desalination or irrigation in exchange for agricultural goods. The goal is to alleviate water scarcity through direct exchanges between partner countries and expand successful partnerships over 5 years.

Short presntation setting the scene for the impacts of climate change on agriculture and food security Ethiopia water sector: Drivers of change
Ethiopia faces several key drivers of change that impact water resources and development. These include a rapidly growing population, which increases pressure on scarce agricultural land and water supplies. Climate change is also a major driver, increasing rainfall variability and extremes that affect both water availability and agricultural productivity. Globalization provides economic opportunities but also risks from global market fluctuations and foreign ownership of land and water resources. Improving water infrastructure and adopting more integrated planning that considers diverse livelihoods is needed to promote development and poverty alleviation amid these changes.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

"Frontline Battles with DDoS: Best practices and Lessons Learned", Igor Ivaniuk
At this talk we will discuss DDoS protection tools and best practices, discuss network architectures and what AWS has to offer. Also, we will look into one of the largest DDoS attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure that happened in February 2022. We'll see, what techniques helped to keep the web resources available for Ukrainians and how AWS improved DDoS protection for all customers based on Ukraine experience
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
What is an RPA CoE? Session 1 – CoE Vision
In the first session, we will review the organization's vision and how this has an impact on the COE Structure.
Topics covered:
• The role of a steering committee
• How do the organization’s priorities determine CoE Structure?
Speaker:
