Adaptation 2
This document outlines a conceptual framework and proposed methodology for investigating the adequacy of adaptation strategies to climate impacts like sea level rise, drought, and flooding. It involves:
1) Analyzing factors that influence climate impacts and the effectiveness of adaptation strategies through a literature review and meta-analysis.
2) Conducting pilot studies in select communities across regions to develop and test methods for assessing coping strategies and their outcomes on food security, livelihoods, and the environment.
3) Developing climate-resilient policy recommendations based on evidence from evaluating current adaptation strategies and their societal consequences. The goal is to generate generally applicable methods for assessing rural producers' strategies under climate change.
DS RESEARCH QUESTIONS
This document outlines research questions related to dryland agricultural livelihood systems. It addresses three main areas:
1. Diagnosing systems and identifying entry points for change through integrated analysis of socioeconomic, gender, political, and ecological drivers.
2. Promoting transformation through innovation mechanisms that optimize use of resources to reduce vulnerability and sustainably intensify agriculture.
3. Catalyzing development at scale through prioritizing investments, assessing impact, and strategic alliances between organizations.
Social Ecology and the Practice of Management
Social ecology is the study of relationships between people and institutions in society. Drucker used this approach to identify emerging trends, like the rise of knowledge workers. He advised taking responsibility for self-development and finding a role matching one's strengths. Drucker also saw trends like the growth of megachurches organizing around knowledge workers' needs, and warned GM risked ignoring workers' potential for growth. Social ecology allows managers to identify trends and act to shape the future and create impact.

This document summarizes a study that examined how to influence climate adaptation processes among cattle producers in northern Australia. The researchers assessed the adaptive capacity of 240 cattle producers using four dimensions and investigated the association between adaptive capacity and climate sensitivity. They found that occupational identity, employability, networks, strategic approach, environmental awareness, dynamic resource use, and use of technology were positively correlated with adaptive capacity, while place attachment was negatively correlated. This suggests adaptation could be influenced by focusing on these aspects of adaptive capacity and climate sensitivity. Managing individual resilience is critical to adaptation at higher levels and needs more attention to shape adaptation processes.

Challenges ahead as a result of climate change: what works and how has the ch...Independent Science and Partnership Council of the CGIAR
Mark Howden from the ANU Climate Change Institute discussed challenges and opportunities for adapting to climate change. He summarized that the impacts of climate change on crop yields are increasingly understood, but there is still significant uncertainty and gaps in knowledge. Adaptations considered have largely been incremental changes to existing systems, but more transformational and systemic adaptations may be needed. Effective adaptations consider social and institutional factors like information networks, norms, and adoption paths. Looking at whole food systems and value chains can help integrate climate issues with other opportunities and pressures. Research to operations requires addressing potential conflicts of interest and clearly communicating a diverse range of adaptation options and their risks and benefits.MEAS TN Scaling - Brent
This document discusses using knowledge about human behavior and agricultural extension to scale the impact of development interventions. It addresses four critical issues: 1) Understanding the potential adoption domain of innovations to set realistic targets and timeframes. 2) Recognizing that human adoption of new practices follows predictable diffusion curves and varies between individuals. 3) Tailoring interventions to the inherent characteristics of different innovations. 4) Appreciating that behavioral change and adoption of innovations takes time to diffuse widely. The document argues that properly addressing these issues based on existing diffusion research can help extension programs better facilitate the widespread adoption of agricultural innovations over appropriate geographic areas and timeframes.
Factors influencing citizens co-production of environmental services
This presentation showcases the results obtained in the paper titled ‘Factors influencing citizens co-production of environmental services’, which explores the role that local government-level factors play in shaping pro-environmental behavior in citizen involvement in the production of public services. To do so, this study analyzes the enablers and barriers of public services’ coproduction, both at the individual and institutional levels. To understand the salience of individual and organizational influences on citizens’ coproduction, the authors analyze the pro-environmental behaviours of a sample of citizens in Wales. Environmental sustainability is seen as perhaps the paradigmatic societal challenge requiring citizens’ coproductive efforts.
This research constitutes one of the results of the research project ‘CITADEL: Empowering Citizens to Transform European Public Administrations’, funded by the European Commission within the program H2020 Horizon, under GA 726755.

Emerging Pollutants governance 2013
- Universities and research institutions in developed countries play a leading role in providing data and analysis to inform policy on pollutants in irrigation water. They work closely with the private and public sectors.
- In contrast, universities and research institutions in developing countries have little contribution to policy evaluation and improvement. They operate in isolation without support.
- To improve governance of pollutants, countries need to understand current national models and learn from challenges. They must also develop plans to actively engage universities and research in monitoring, analyzing data, and advising upgraded policies.

Addressing Gender and Social Dynamics to Strengthen Resilience for All
Addressing Gender and Social Dynamics to Strengthen Resilience for AllAfrican Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS)
This document presents a framework for understanding how gender influences resilience to climate change impacts. It discusses how men and women have different exposures, capacities, decision-making power, and outcomes due to factors like livelihoods, resource access, and social norms. Programs aim to strengthen women's resilience by improving access to climate information, boosting participation in natural resource governance, and facilitating more equitable household decision-making. Evaluating impacts on production, income, assets, labor, and well-being can reveal how resilience strategies differentially affect men and women. Integrating gender considerations into project design and implementation helps promote more transformative change toward gender equality.Seamless Web Model of Environmental Management
This document discusses the emergence of a "seamless web" framework for environmental regulation. It describes regulation evolving through three stages - from traditional government regulation, to adding market mechanisms, to a seamless web of self-regulation. The seamless web comprises numerous regulators from government, industry, NGOs, investors, and consumers. It recognizes industry's pivotal role and stimulates innovation by catering to different corporate cultures.
emerging pollutants governance 2013 haddad presentation
This document discusses the role of universities and research institutions in controlling and managing pollutants in irrigation water through good governance. It states that while universities in developed countries play a leading role by providing data, analysis, and policy input, universities in developing countries often have little contribution and unclear roles. The document calls for (1) understanding current national governance practices, (2) learning from challenges, and (3) implementing a dynamic plan to engage universities in the sector. Good governance requires exploring innovative ideas, analyzing data, converging findings, and continuously improving policies. Priorities should include control measures, funding support, and integrating stakeholders like governments, farmers, and the private sector.
Agent basedmodelmiscanthus
This document describes an agent-based model developed to study the dynamics of biomass feedstock production for bioenergy. Key stakeholders such as farmers and biorefineries are modeled as independent agents. The model simulates the production of Miscanthus as an energy crop in Illinois. Simulation results show that it takes 15 years to reach 60% of the maximum regional production capacity due to the complex interactions between farmers and biorefineries as they adapt to growing and utilizing an energy crop. Policy incentives and contracts can impact this transition period.

Conceptualizing transformative governance for food systems
Conceptualizing transformative governance for food systems CCAFS | CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security
This document discusses conceptualizing transformative governance for food systems. It aims to identify pathways for transformation towards more sustainable, resilient, socially just, and environmentally sound food systems. While technologies and practices in food systems receive attention, less focus has been on necessary institutional and governance components.
The document outlines the GECAFS conceptual framework and then analyzes transformations in food governance over the last 20-30 years, including a shift from government to market control, rise of private standards, and increased consumer movements. It proposes changes to governance that could enable transformation, such as recognizing interlinkages in food systems, creating learning environments, introducing polycentric multi-level governance, and establishing global food system frameworks. It ends with questions onTransforming Food Systems under a Changing Climate - Ana Maria Loboguerrero C...

This document discusses transforming food systems under a changing climate. It identifies six key elements needed: gender equality and social inclusion, climate-resilient practices, digitally-enabled climate services, innovative finance, reshaping supply chains and new consumption patterns. Transformative technologies, adaptation pathways tailored to different farmers, and enabling policies are also needed.

The document discusses sustainable food systems and provides definitions. A sustainable food system delivers food security and nutrition in a way that does not compromise the economic, social, and environmental bases for future generations. It is profitable, has broad societal benefits, and has a positive or neutral environmental impact. Achieving sustainability requires a holistic food systems approach that considers all elements and interlinkages rather than focusing on individual sectors or activities.

Agri-Food System Dynamics: Pathways to Sustainability in an Era of Uncertainty
This document discusses the dynamic and complex nature of agri-food systems and argues that the prevailing approaches to agricultural science and policy often fail to provide sustainable outcomes, especially for poor people in developing countries. It outlines two perspectives in agricultural science - a holistic, systems-based approach versus an orthodox, equilibrium-focused approach. A holistic approach that considers uncertainty, diversity and complexity is needed to better understand agri-food systems and define practices and policies that can help systems become more resilient to shocks and stresses. The document examines drivers of change in global agri-food systems and characteristics of diverse rural livelihoods to provide context for later discussions of sustainability narratives and pathways.

Farming Systems Options for U.S. Agriculture- An Agroecological Perspective
Farming systems research and extension (FSRE) and other systems-oriented approaches are essential for addressing complex agricultural problems and developing sustainable farming systems. Conventional reductionist agricultural research has led to productive systems but also substantial environmental and human costs. FSRE is a farmer-based approach originally used in low-income countries to involve stakeholders in problem diagnosis, technology adaptation and evaluation. Agroecology provides an ecological basis for characterizing relations between agriculture and natural resources to develop sustainable systems. Systems approaches allow understanding of whole-farm impacts and identifying critical research needs.
Cos'è l'agroecologia
Agro-ecology is defined as applying ecological principles to agriculture and food systems. It originated as a scientific concept but has expanded to include social and political dimensions. Agro-ecology aims to question dominant industrial agricultural models and globalized markets by promoting more sustainable practices. These include recycling biomass and nutrients, improving soils, reducing external inputs, optimizing biodiversity and interactions between ecosystem elements, integrating food production and environmental protection, and acknowledging both traditional and scientific knowledge. The principles of agro-ecology also emphasize participatory research, autonomy, and food sovereignty.
Institutions for Ecosystem Services
The document summarizes a workshop on institutions for ecosystem services that took place from October 27-29, 2014. The workshop objectives were to encourage sharing of research on links between institutions and ecosystem services, synthesize lessons about institutional arrangements needed to ensure ecosystem service projects deliver benefits, and identify policies to strengthen supporting institutions. It provided background on ecosystem services and discussed topics like the importance of institutions at multiple scales, challenges around time lags and spatial disconnects between ecosystem service production and use, and lessons that can be learned from other research and cases.
