Presented at the ASTI-FARA conference Agricultural R&D: Investing in Africa's Future: Analyzing Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities - Accra, Ghana on December 5-7, 2011. http://www.asti.cgiar.org/2011conf
The document discusses concepts related to trans-spatiality and institutionalization of post-growth epistemics. It focuses on low organizational density, reflexivity and feedback loops, autopoiesis, enabling environments, and knowledge and innovation modalities like transfer of tacit and codified knowledge. An integrative approach is proposed that incorporates multi-level epistemic discourse creation at the micro, meso, and macro levels with horizontal governance and inclusion. References are provided on topics like peripheral innovation systems, eco-innovation in rural areas, and challenging incumbent regimes.
Sustainability, Development, Social Justice:Towards a new politics of innova...STEPS Centre
This document discusses the need to broaden the scope of innovation beyond a linear model to be more diverse and inclusive. It argues that innovation pathways should pursue three mutually-supporting dimensions: diversity, directionality, and distribution. Innovation involves politics in determining its direction and who benefits. A 3D innovation agenda would massively increase diversity, support multiple directions like agroecology instead of industrial agriculture, and promote pathways that favor marginalized groups. Examples are given of more inclusive, community-led innovations around sanitation, health entrepreneurs, plant breeding, and research funding. The document promotes opening up innovation to marginalized priorities and making their voices central through recommendations for international agencies and funders.
Develop methodologies and techniques to develop the capacity for self-improvement
an innovations, knowledge and skills marketplace to match make needs and resources, communities of practice to facilitate collaboration in developing innovations to support local priorities.
Innovation, Sustainabiity, Development: A New Manifesto was launched at the Royal Society in London on 15 June 2010.

Place leadership council, Matthew Carmona - Design Network ConferenceDesign South East
The document proposes establishing a Place Leadership Council for England to promote high quality design and placemaking in the built environment. The Council would provide leadership on place-based issues through research, advocacy, and maintaining best practice resources. It would not directly conduct design reviews but could direct certain projects to undergo review. The Council would have authority through a Royal Charter and duty on government. It would be governed by representatives from relevant professions and sectors. Funding would come from a small surcharge on planning fees and project grants. The document considers different name options, ultimately suggesting Place Council for England or PlaCE.

Strengthening the Sustainable Development Goals with Open Access and Open S...Leslie Chan
The SDGs represent challenges in advancing the broad access to information agenda because of the divergent goals and proliferating targets and indicators. At the same time, the broadness of many of the goals presents opportunities for the agenda, particularly in the form of open access and open science, to embed itself at the core, thus allowing concrete actions and policies to be formulated in order to achieve tangible development outcomes. I will focus in particular on Goal 9 (“Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation”) and argue that information and knowledge are essential infrastructure needed to build local research capacity which are in turn the foundation for sustainable development. The growing understanding of the importance of sharing methods and results throughout the research life cycle further demands the need for appropriate infrastructure. Examples of such infrastructure, such as data and publication repositories, already exist at some local level, but they are often fragmented and lack adequate resources. It is therefore important for FAO/IFLA/COAR to continue to advocate for the development of knowledge infrastructure and to ensure that policies are in place to support their long term sustainability.
The document discusses the Electricity Governance Initiative (EGI), a joint effort between WRI and Prayas Energy Group to assess governance in the electricity sector given global restructuring and reform. EGI provides tools and analysis to empower marginalized groups to understand decision-making processes, define problems and priorities, and work to address issues. Potential outcomes of EGI include upholding high sector standards, increasing citizen awareness, expanding coalitions, and identifying opportunities to better meet energy needs and manage conflicts. Ideal coalitions are broad, technically competent, and include advocacy experts.

DRIVE | orchestrating value chains for sustainability in npdCLICKNL
The Tool for Orchestrating Value Networks (TOV) aims to help organizations achieve sustainable outcomes and stable relations with their partners and stakeholders in their value network. The guidelines and management approaches provide a structured analysis of relevant aspects that organisations need to prepare for when setting up sustainable collaboration, and the challenges they may face during the collaboration. They address negotiating a fair allocation of costs and benefits in the value network for sustainable innovation, and managing other types of value networks that go beyond traditional supply chains. The guidelines consist of a range of questions that help an organization to identify what issues they could encounter in the dynamic development process, and tips & tricks that indicate what practices or activities might be undertaken in the non-predictable collaboration.

1. The document discusses using open systems strategies and models to promote peace, innovation, and development in South Sudan. It outlines recommendations for enabling access to technology, developing open systems criteria, recognizing open systems as sustainability priorities, supporting education and incubators, and fostering open knowledge commons.
2. Specific open systems initiatives proposed for South Sudan include #OSJUBA for the capital Juba, #OSWARRAP for the state of Warrap, #OSBACK for an open source server backbone, and projects involving open urbanism, a virtual academy, and an open innovation lab.
3. The document argues that open systems can generate knowledge and empower citizens, provide access to education and economic opportunities, foster
Tools of knowledge application workshop decriptionicebauhaus
The two-hour workshop was attended by 15 participants from backgrounds related to agriculture, development, and IT. The workshop aimed to introduce user-centered design methodology and discuss challenges in Ethiopian agriculture and potential solutions. Participants brainstormed challenges, which were grouped into categories. They then split into two groups to discuss a challenge in more depth and propose solutions with or without ICT. The proposed solutions included a mobile knowledge platform for farmers, a peer-learning network for new crops, and an early warning system for disasters. The main result was identifying the participants as a valuable resource for new projects.
The document discusses the role of design in enabling sustainability through regional policy and capacity building. It outlines challenges like population aging, climate change, and conflict, and argues that non-technological innovation through design can boost competitiveness and quality of life. The purpose is to discuss the dynamics between innovation, design, and sustainability by introducing regional policy issues and how to build capacity for ecodesign. It proposes taking a systems perspective and recognizing that different small businesses require different ecodesign support due to varying characteristics like absorptive capacity.
Foresight Methods and Practice: Lessons Learned from International Foresight ...Totti Könnölä
This document provides an overview of foresight methods and lessons learned from international foresight exercises. It discusses how foresight can contribute to the entire policy cycle from agenda setting to evaluation. It emphasizes that foresight designs must always be customized and that foresight tools should not be the first step, but should engage stakeholders. Key methods discussed include scenarios, roadmaps, and integrating different foresight techniques. Case studies from Chile and the IMS 2020 project are also summarized.
GODAN Working Group on Capacity DevelopmentSuchith Anand
This document discusses capacity building efforts of the GODAN Working Group on Capacity Building. It provides details on:

POLICY SEMINAR
The Future of the Commons
Co-organized by IFPRI, the International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC), and the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM)
OCT 4, 2018 - 12:15 PM TO 01:45 PM EDT
The document discusses the Luchtsingel initiative in Rotterdam and draws several conclusions. It summarizes that:
1) The Luchtsingel connects and strengthens existing developments in the area while opening it up and having a noticeable economic impact, though expectations for the future are high and ambiguous.
2) The initiative exemplifies the challenges and possibilities of a new style of participatory urban development but requires a broader vision and new governance approach.
3) The city government struggles with participation if not supported by policy, and participatory governance demands redefining all roles as well as playing multiple roles.
Mika Raunio from the University of Tampere presented on open innovation platforms and their role in fostering collaboration between research, education, and industry. Open innovation platforms provide digital co-creation spaces that engage a broader base of actors. Three case studies from Tampere, Finland were examined: New Factory/DEMOLA, an inter-university co-creation space; CAMPUS ARENA, a new building and tools to connect companies and a technology university; and MEDIAPOLIS, a joint media campus. Future challenges include governing platform networks, cultivating an open innovation culture, and integrating platforms into education and research.
This document discusses the perspective of older users on assistive technology from AGE Platform Europe, an organization focused on issues affecting older people. It addresses common stereotypes about older adults and technology, and highlights several main concerns older users have, including costs, accessibility, reliability, and a lack of involvement in decision-making. The document argues for taking a user-centered design approach and involving older users throughout the process to help make technology more inclusive and usable for all.
Decarbonising Transport by 2050 – the view from governmentDecarboN8
DecarboN8 Future Transport Fuels Webinar Series
The second of a series of webinars brought to you by DecarboN8's Future Transport Fuels research theme. Intended for academics, students, policymakers, businesses, civil society and anyone interested in the decarbonisation of transport in the UK.
Decarbonising Transport by 2050 – the view from government
Professor Phil Blythe (Newcastle University) discusses the DfT’s activities on transport decarbonisation including the Transport Decarbonisation Plan, the Science Plan and the R&D required to deliver on the net-zero target, including the challenge in the context of the coronavirus outbreak.
About the speaker:
Professor Phil Blythe CEng FIET is Chief Scientific Adviser for the Department for Transport and Professor of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) at Newcastle University. Prior to joining the Department for Transport he was Director of the Transport Operations Research Group for 13 years.
Phil’s academic focus has been the development of ITS – the use of information, communications and computing technology applied to transport. His research portfolio covers a wide range of areas where ITS has been applied to transport including: road to vehicle communications; road user charging systems; ITS for assistive mobility, smartcards and radio frequency identification (RFID), wireless / smartdust technologies, electromobility and future intelligent infrastructure.
His research is also forward-looking and attempts to bridge the technology-policy gap in terms of what technologies may evolve to meet future policy objectives or influence future policy thinking to meet the challenges.
Phil is Vice-President of the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), is a member of their Lectures Committee and supports the IET in the UK and abroad in areas such intelligent transport, connected and autonomous vehicles, electro-mobility and smart cities and on the Big Data / Internet of Things agendas. In March 2012 Phil was awarded the Reece-Hills Medal for a lifetime personal contribution to ITS.
The document discusses the Triple Helix model of university-industry-government relations. It proposes that these institutions are moving from separate spheres to an overlapping model of interaction. The Triple Helix model involves each institution enhancing its existing roles and taking on roles of the other institutions. This leads to new forms of collaboration and organizations at the intersection of the spheres, driving innovation.
Behind the curve? Decarbonising Mobility in a HurryDecarboN8
This document summarizes a presentation on decarbonizing transportation. It notes that transportation has only reduced carbon emissions 4% in the last 30 years but must reduce 14% annually to meet goals. Different places have varying starting points for reductions that can differ by 5-10 times. Data shows large variations in car miles per person across the UK. Transitioning to electric vehicles and reducing vehicle usage will be necessary. New approaches are needed that are co-designed with communities and focus on whether, when, how and how much people move rather than just technologies used. More radical change is required than business as usual to achieve decarbonization targets.
Population aging is a global trend that is putting pressure on public expenditures for healthcare and long-term care. Many countries will see declining labor forces, requiring new strategies to maintain productivity. Data-driven innovation offers solutions to support independent smart living for older individuals, improve social connections, develop new models for health and care, and enable new work practices through remote monitoring. The panel discussion will address opportunities for using big data and analytics to meet needs of aging societies, what policies are required to promote data sharing, and what frameworks can maximize benefits and reduce risks.

Generating Social Innovation, Tools, Techniques And MethodsSIX
This document provides an overview of methods for social innovation mapped out by researchers. It analyzes hundreds of methods through the lenses of the processes, conditions, and impact of social innovation. The methods are grouped into categories like prompts, proposals, prototypes, sustaining innovations, and scaling innovations. Specific techniques are mentioned like design thinking methods, creativity methods, crowdfunding, and incubators. The goal is to help practitioners develop effective ideas and ensure they have a positive social impact at scale.
This document summarizes a session on collaboration for responsible research and innovation (RRI). It includes presentations on RRI key features and initiatives like nanOpinion and PERARES. Participants then engaged in a "World Café" discussion about stakeholder engagement in RRI. They considered questions like whether science centers should promote technology impact discussions, if stakeholders should be more involved in research and innovation decision-making, what groups are less engaged, and when stakeholders should be involved. The session aimed to facilitate reflection on RRI and collaboration to incorporate societal perspectives in technology development.

From controlled transition to caring transformations - StirlingSTEPS Centre
This document discusses the differences between "controlling transitions" and "caring transformations" when addressing issues like climate change. It argues that ideas of control are part of the problem and that controlled transition does not equal real transformation. Caring for transformation instead of control could mean culturing transformation through myriad grassroots actions that challenge power and are driven by solidarity, values and hope rather than singular theories and top-down control. True transformation is shaped by unruly diversity rather than imposed order and expertise.

Andy Stirling - nexus methods (RGS 2016)STEPS Centre
This document discusses the concept of "nexus thinking" across multiple domains and topics. It makes several key points:
1) Nexus thinking spans across different silos and considers connections between domains like food, water, energy, climate, and development.
2) Framing of nexus issues applies at every level and transcends place, space, and scale. Different framings lead to different understandings and potential solutions.
3) Nexus thinking recognizes the entanglement of objective conditions and subjective actors, and highlights the role of power and politics in knowledge production.
Andy Stirling - STEPS Centre 'Pathways Methods'STEPS Centre
The document outlines the STEPS Centre 'Pathways Methods' for helping appreciate alternative pathways. It summarizes the methods as follows:
1. The methods aim to catalyze more open political space by broadening out discussions beyond incumbent 'pro-innovation' views and opening up consideration of marginalized interests and alternative pathways.
2. The methodology involves engaging actors, exploring narratives, characterizing dynamics, and revealing strategies through a repertoire of participatory and deliberative methods.
3. A case study applying these methods in Kenya found surprising optimism for alternative crops but farmer preference for local maize varieties, showing how the methods can surface plural perspectives on pathways.
This document provides an overview of a presentation given by Andy Stirling on 'Nexus Methods' at the ESRC Methods Festival. It discusses the complex and interconnected nature of issues related to the food-water-energy nexus. It notes that while there are many quantitative and qualitative methods that can be applied to nexus issues, they all involve subjective framings and no single method can capture the full complexity. The presentation advocates a reflexive approach that acknowledges the conditional nature of knowledge and assessment in this domain.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
