The document discusses the future of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and focuses on producing public goods through agriculture. It outlines challenges like climate change and calls for shifting CAP support towards market and fiscal instruments that incentivize ecosystem production and compensate farmers for related income losses. The new paradigm is the production of public goods like carbon sequestration and biodiversity protection through environmental markets and payments for eco-friendly farming practices.

The document discusses the EU's Green Deal and Farm to Fork strategy. It proposes that three main options can help transform the food system to be more sustainable:
1) Bringing in new actors like innovative food companies and retailers to disrupt the system
2) Adding new types of transactions, like markets for ecosystem services or food stamps for sustainable products
3) Forcing current actors like farmers and food companies to internalize external costs and incentivizing more sustainable practices through regulations, emissions trading, and procurement requirements.

The document discusses agriculture emissions and their contribution to EU emissions reduction targets. It finds that a significant reduction in agricultural non-CO2 emissions is possible by 2030 compared to 2005 levels, ranging from 2.4-25% depending on the scenario and support provided. A wide range of mitigation actions are available to the agriculture sector, including cover crops, nutrient management, and livestock practices, but these actions have yet to be adopted at a large enough scale. While agriculture offers environmental co-benefits under certain conditions, its emissions will need to be mitigated and potentially compensated through carbon removals over time as its share of overall emissions increases.
The document discusses the challenges of climate change for agriculture and food security. It argues that resources and research need to focus on helping poor rural communities adapt. International climate agreements could impact food security depending on how agriculture is treated and funds are allocated. The document proposes specific policy actions and Copenhagen agreement language around incentivizing agricultural mitigation, increasing adaptation investment, and establishing a public technology network focused on climate-smart agriculture.

This document provides an overview and summary of the EU's Farm to Fork strategy and Green Deal initiatives. It discusses the need to transition agriculture and food systems to be more sustainable and environmentally-friendly. The EU proposals aim to reduce fertilizer and pesticide use, increase organic farming and biodiversity on agricultural lands. It also examines some of the challenges, such as ensuring food security during the transition. Options presented for transforming the food system include bringing in new innovative actors, adding new types of market transactions, and forcing current actors to internalize external costs and incentivize more sustainable practices.
The document summarizes key points from a presentation on OECD Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation in 2021. It makes three main points:
1. Current agricultural support policies are not addressing the triple challenge of ensuring food security, providing livelihoods, and promoting sustainability.
2. Countries need to invest more in sustainable productivity growth and resilience through agricultural innovation.
3. Specific policy recommendations include phasing out market distortions, targeting income support to households in need, and redirecting expenditures toward public goods like innovation.
ENV GLOBAL FORUM OCT 2016 - Session 2 - Bernd MEYEROECD Environment
The document discusses the macroeconomic impacts of a circular economy based on modeling work from the POLFREE project. It finds that pursuing a circular economy through global cooperation could meet ambitious environmental targets while increasing GDP and employment. If cooperation is not possible, the EU pursuing circular policies alone could still benefit from first-mover advantages in green growth and jobs. However, a business-as-usual scenario risks serious environmental damage and slower economic growth. Ongoing modeling work is needed to further assess policy mixes and facilitate country-level recommendations.
This document outlines the United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) "Green Economy Initiative" which aims to demonstrate that transitioning to a green economy can be a new engine for global economic growth, provide opportunities for employment, and address various environmental crises. It discusses multiple crises around food, fuel, financial systems and climate change. It also outlines UNEP initiatives like the Green Economy Report, TEEB valuation of ecosystem services, and Green Jobs assessment to support moving economies onto a sustainable path.

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) accounts for approximately 40% of the EU's budget, or around 55 billion euros per year. The CAP was established in 1957 with the goals of increasing agricultural productivity, ensuring a fair standard of living for farmers, stabilizing markets, and providing affordable food for consumers. It has undergone several reforms in response to crises and changing societal priorities around issues such as overproduction, the environment, and developing countries. The most recent reform in 2013 included agreements on convergence payments between member states, greening measures, and more flexibility for member states in implementing the policy while maintaining strict rules.
This document outlines the United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) "Green Economy Initiative" which aims to promote a global transition to a low-carbon, resource efficient "green economy" through various initiatives and reports. The initiative will demonstrate the economic opportunities of investing in green sectors like renewable energy and green jobs. It will also evaluate the value of ecosystem services and make policy recommendations. The initiative will engage global policy processes and foster consensus on green economy concepts through regional collaborations and country technical assistance.
Achieving PCSD: A Challenge for Europe's agricultureCéline Charveriat
The document discusses the challenges for European agriculture in achieving policy coherence for sustainable development (PCSD) in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It argues that the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) must do more to minimize negative external impacts on other countries, support their transition to more sustainable agriculture, and ensure European innovation and support promotes SDG alignment globally. Specifically, it raises concerns about the impacts of rising European dairy exports to Africa on small-scale African farmers and greenhouse gas emissions. It calls for integrating SDG targets into the CAP, monitoring impacts in third countries, and avoiding policies that distort world markets or encourage unsustainable production and consumption.
This document discusses a framework for transitioning the food system towards sustainability through obligated blending. It proposes that governments obligate food processors to source a certain percentage (e.g. 20%) of their agricultural inputs from certified sustainable farms. This would create a market incentive for food companies to support sustainable farming practices and reward front-running farms. It could also incentivize other farms to innovate towards sustainability. The document addresses how such a system could work in practice, identifying key performance indicators, certification of farms, and options for processors to physically blend sustainable and conventional products. It argues the approach could reward sustainable farmers and guide the food system transition while keeping consumer price increases minimal.
The document outlines the Netherlands' priorities for the 2021 Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). It discusses strengthening market orientation while maintaining a safety net, transitioning direct payments to those for public goods like environmental protection, taking an integrated approach to sustainability goals, expanding the CAP to a common agriculture and food policy, and simplifying regulations. The key priorities are ensuring market orientation, payments for environmental services, an holistic sustainability approach, and simplification through subsidiarity and risk-based controls.
NEPAD and CCAFS have joined forces, and with support from GIZ they held a training workshop on 10 –12 April 2018 in Nairobi for participants from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Ethiopia. The participants came from Ministries of agriculture, environment, finance, and planning. The overall aim of the training course was to enhance capacities amongst staff and personnel of the various ministries for successful implementation of the agricultural components of the NDCs.The focus of the training was to create a broader understanding of NDCs with the aim that participants have a better understanding of (a) What has to be done? (b) How it can be done? (c) Where can they find further support? and (d) What are existing tools that can be used?
The training consisted of eight modules delivered over three days. The modules included a presentation, question and answer session, and group activity/discussion. The modules delivered were:
Module 1: Intro to UNFCCC initiatives relevant to agriculture
Module 2: Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)
Module 3: Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) for transformative change
Module 4: Analysis and tools for priority setting in agriculture
Module 5: Climate finance, parts 1 and 2
Module 6: Role of the private sector in NDC development and implementation
Module 7: Monitoring NDC implementation, parts 1 and 2
Module 8: Managing the complexities of multiple planning processes for inclusive national planning
This document summarizes key aspects of recent Swedish environmental policy and perspectives on policy approaches. It discusses:
1) Sweden's climate policy framework which includes legislation for climate neutrality by 2045 and sector-specific emission reduction targets.
2) Lessons learned from negotiating the climate law including the importance of trust, compromise, and building a shared knowledge base.
3) Expanding indicators beyond just GDP to also track environmental and social well-being.
4) The challenge of transitioning to a "green economy" paradigm that focuses on long-term sustainability rather than short-term economic growth and profit.
Biodiversity Mainstreaming through National Policies and Legislation ExternalEvents
1) The document discusses mainstreaming biodiversity through national policies and legislation. It outlines how biodiversity fosters productive capacities in sectors like agriculture but these sectors also exert pressure on biodiversity.
2) It provides an overview of different policy instruments that can be used for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use, including regulatory approaches, economic instruments, and voluntary approaches. It also gives examples of some instruments and programs.
3) The presentation emphasizes that biodiversity mainstreaming is important for sustainable development and outlines some of the OECD's work in this area, including analyzing barriers to policy reform and providing guidance for countries.
- Governments have committed to end inefficient fossil fuel subsidies over a decade ago but progress has been limited, with support fluctuating with fuel prices. Covid-19 provided an opportunity but green recovery spending has been outweighed by continued fossil fuel support.
- Reforming fossil fuel subsidies is difficult due to debates around what constitutes a subsidy and inefficiency, as well as economic and social concerns about price rises. However, the OECD provides tools and a sequential approach to identify subsidies and their impacts, and design alternative policies to alleviate distributional effects of reform. Gradual implementation anchored in emissions reduction and periodic review are also recommended.

Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change.
How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security?
This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system.
OECD Policy Analyst Lylah Davies presented key findings and recommendations from recent OECD work on assessing the financial materiality of water-related risks, including the recently published paper “Watered down? Investigating the financial materiality of water-related risks” and was joined by experts to discuss relevant initiatives underway.

The seminar on Problem Formulation for the Risk Assessment of Biopesticides stemmed from a previous CRP-sponsored event on Innovating Microbial Pesticide Testing that identified the need for an overarching guidance document to determine when in vivo tests are necessary. Problem Formulation, a common practice in pesticide risk assessment, was highlighted as a useful approach for addressing uncertainties in data requirements for biopesticides.
The seminar featured presentations from various perspectives, including industry, regulatory bodies, and academia. Topics included the history and principles of Problem Formulation, industry perspectives on Problem Formulation and how it is applied internally for microbial pesticides, regulatory approaches, and specific case studies. The seminar provided an overview of the challenges, considerations, and potential solutions in harmonising Problem Formulation for biopesticide risk assessment. It emphasised the need for collaboration and discussion to develop Problem Formulation guidance for biopesticides.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

11. Emission pricing instruments are not yet applied to agriculture at
a large scale
“Polluter pays”
► Emission taxes – only applied in rare cases and to specific sources
(e.g. fossil fuel in Norway)
► Emission trading schemes (ETS) – also not (yet) applied to agriculture
(discussed in New Zealand)
“Beneficiary pays”
► Abatement subsidies/auctions: Australia Emissions Reduction Fund, Japan J-credit scheme
► Carbon offsets: agriculture projects eligible, for instance in Korea ETS, state-level ETS in the
US, Low Carbon Label in France, as well as with CDM
12. Four action pillars for climate change mitigation in agriculture
> Remove environmentally harmful subsidies and
reorient support
> Reforming support to sectors with highest
emission intensity
> Increase support to R&D and knowledge transfer
> Boost innovation on climate-friendly technologies,
also with public-private partnerships
1. Phase out policy measures
exacerbating climate change
3. Invest in innovation
and knowledge transfer
> Implement an effective pricing system for food
GHG emissions (not necessarily polluter-pays)
> Unlock carbon sequestration in land and soil
> Measure, report and verify
> Encourage consumption shifts towards lower
emission intensity products
> Reduce overconsumption, food waste and
losses
2. Apply adequate mitigation incentives to
trigger action
4. Shift to more
sustainable consumption patterns
