Achievement, Thrust and Future Strategies in Post Harvest of HorticultureRamabhau Patil
This document provides information on strategies for post-harvest management of horticulture crops in India. It discusses key challenges like post-harvest losses of 3-18% worth Rs. 45,000 crores annually due to lack of adequate infrastructure and processing. It highlights various post-harvest handling operations like grading, sorting, packing, storage techniques and value addition processes that can help reduce losses and increase income for farmers. The document also showcases several post-harvest machinery and technologies developed by organizations like CIPHET and IIHR for efficient handling, storage and minimal processing of fruits and vegetables.
The document discusses opportunities for value addition of agricultural products in Northeast India. It describes several value-added products that can be created such as fruit jams, juices, dried foods, beverages, pickles and more. Specific fruits and vegetables that show promise are mentioned, including banana, pineapple, oranges, and local varieties. Methods of value addition covered include packaging, osmo-air drying, waxing, and minimal processing. The document argues that pursuing these value-added products can meet market demand and benefit farmers in the region.
- Post-harvest losses of fruits and vegetables in India amount to Rs. 45,000 crores annually, which can be reduced by better post-harvest management, processing, and cold chain infrastructure.
- Proper post-harvest handling like sorting, grading, pre-cooling, packaging, cold storage and refrigerated transportation is needed to reduce losses and extend shelf-life.
- Technologies discussed include mobile and evaporative cooled cold storage units, solar dryers, packaging methods like shrink wrapping and MAP, and value-addition processes for products like pickles, sauces and powders.
- The document provides examples of individuals and companies successfully utilizing post-harvest technologies in India.
This document outlines a research strategy to study goat value chain development models in order to generate evidence and lessons learned. It will take a participatory action research approach using innovation platforms and producer hubs to test interventions, monitor changes, and conduct focused studies. Key questions focus on how these models impact practices, market access, and benefits for actors. A hybrid monitoring and evaluation approach using outcome mapping and indicators will track behavioral changes and value chain performance over time.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
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.

AATF: Facilitating access and delivery of appropriate technologies for smallholder farmers in Africa
1. AATF
Facilitating Access and Delivery of Appropriate
technologies for smallholder farmers in Africa
Denis Kyetere
2. African Agriculture: Under-
Performing
Yields are stationary or declining
Yet population has continued to increase
Production per capita is declining
3. The Reasons
• Low farm productivity:
– Poor quality soils/lack of access to
fertilizers
– Inadequate irrigation
– Absence of appropriate technology
– Poor infrastructure
– Pests and diseases
– Lack of access to credit
– The HIV/AIDS Pandemic
– etc
4. AATF Mandate & Rationale
• To facilitate public/private partnerships for the
access and delivery of appropriate
agricultural technologies addressing
smallholder farmers’ constraints in SSA
Rationale
• Need for effective mechanisms to negotiate
the access and transfer of appropriate
technologies held by the public and private
sectors from anywhere in the world to Africa
• Need for appropriate partnerships to manage
the deployment of these technologies until
they are within reach of smallholder farmers
5. AATF Mission and Vision
Mission
Access and deliver appropriate
agricultural technologies for
sustainable use by smallholder in
SSA
Vision
Prosperous farmers and a food
secure Africa
6. AATF Strategic Thrusts
• Negotiating access to and ensuring stewardship
of appropriate technologies that enhance the
productivity of agriculture in Africa
• Managing partnerships for project
formulation, product development and deployment to
introduce innovative agricultural technologies to
African farming systems
• Managing information and knowledge to support
technology identification, product development and
deployment, and a conducive policy environment
7. AATF Approach
Focus
• Food and high value crops produced by
smallholder farmers in SSA
Technological interventions criteria
– Targeted priority agricultural problems
– Accessible, transferable, adaptable &
proven technologies
Partnership & Stewardship
• Act as the ‘responsible party’ ensuring
technologies are appropriately and responsibly
used across the value chain

12. Priority Problem Areas for AATF
• Impact of climate change on crop productivity
• Yield losses of staple and high value crops
from pests and diseases
• Soil related constraints to crop productivity
• High cost and low efficient plant breeding
processes
• Inadequate mechanization
• Micronutrient and vitamin related malnutrition
among resource poor farmers
13. Current AATF Activities
