This synthesis review, prepared with financial support from the Rockefeller Foundation,
is a companion report to the evaluation of the Foundation’s work on African
Agriculture Resilience (AAR) and Carbon for Poverty Reduction (CPR). The synthesis
review seeks to identify lessons from a broad range of efforts to build climate resilient
agriculture and reduce poverty through carbon markets in Africa. The Rockefeller
Foundation and its grantees and partners are interested in learning not only from the
Foundation’s work but from the work of others, in order to gain a better understanding
of what constitutes successful activities for building climate resilient agriculture
and what works and does not work in carbon projects for poverty reduction in the
agricultural sector.
Agriculture continues to play a key role in the formal economies and in sustaining
local livelihoods in Africa. Climate change, in combination with widespread levels of
poverty and food insecurity, could potentially have large impacts on the well-being of
smallholder farmers and economic growth in the region. Climate resilient agricultural
development and carbon markets for poverty reduction are rapidly emerging as key
issues for development policy and practice. In ensuring that African agriculture is
resilient to the changing climate, it has become imperative to protect livelihoods and
to reduce food insecurity. At the same time, the emerging market for carbon may offer
new possibilities for agriculture to benefit from land use management practices that
sequester carbon, which could, in turn, contribute to poverty reduction.
The report first briefly introduces current debates surrounding AAR and CPR. In spite
of wide agreement about the need for AAR and CPR efforts in the region, determining
the best ways to approach them remains a contentious and uncertain challenge. The
report also examines ongoing AAR- and CPR-type work in the region, based on a rapid
desk-based screening of existing programs and projects, and on analyses available in
the public domain. Tables 1 and 2 summarize reviewed practices, key findings and
early lessons for reviewed adaptation and carbon activities, respectively.

Australia’s food and land use system faces
a storm of converging pressures. The world’s
population is growing, expected to reach close
to 10 billion by 2050, and will have growing and
changing demands for food and fibre. At the
same time, the accelerating impacts of climate
change present major risks for farming – without
adaptive action climate change could reduce
agricultural productivity and farmer profitability
by up to 40-60 per cent by 2060i.
Meanwhile, competing demands could reduce
the amount of land available for food production.
This includes demands for timber production,
bioenergy, and urban and industrial development.
Climate change will also have profound impacts
on natural systems2. There is an urgent need for
land management changes to reduce emissions,
sequester carbon in soils, trees and other
vegetation, and to protect, restore and build
resilience of natural systems. How will we
meet these competing demands on a limited
land resource?
Producers of food, fibre and timber manage more
than half of Australia’s landmass, and are therefore
critical to any future change in land use3.
Awareness and adoption of sustainable
practices is increasing in the face of climate
risks, unreliable weather patterns, competition
for water, consumer concerns about health,
environmental and animal welfare impacts of
farming, and increasing accountability
demands from governments. Indeed, some of
the most innovative and inspiring examples
of sustainable food production and land use
originate in Australia.
The finance sector is also beginning to shift, with
investment in sustainable land use increasing
eightfold globally in the decade to 20154, and
$4.5 trillion annual global business opportunities
from investment in sustainable food and land use
identified by 20305.
This momentum is positive. However, a barrier
to improving the sustainability of land use is
the immaturity of tools and systems to enable
adequate, consistent measurement of ‘natural
capital’. These tools are a way to value the
environment and integrate this value as part
of land management, financial and policy
decision-making.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

RMD24 | Debunking the non-endemic revenue myth Marvin Vacquier Droop | First ...BBPMedia1
Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
