This document discusses mainstreaming agricultural biodiversity through incentives and investments. It argues that conservation strategies for wild and agricultural biodiversity are largely pursued separately despite their interdependencies. Only 30% of national biodiversity strategic action plans include details on agrobiodiversity conservation and use. The document highlights examples from Brazil of using school feeding programs and market incentives to promote consumption of nutrient-rich native species. It also discusses the benefits of maintaining forest borders around coffee fields to reduce crop pests by attracting predators like the yellow warbler. The document advocates for payment programs that reward farmers for conserving crop wild relatives and genetic resources and outlines threats to forest foods in Burkina Faso mapped through a multi-threat model. In the end,

Bioversity International scientist Pablo Eyzaguirre present on family farming and the contribution that family farms make to the conservation and use of agricultural biodiveristy. Family farmers are an important asset to food security - they manage a lot of agricultural biodiversity and they have gendered knowledge of the ecosystems where their farms are embedded.

Providing evidence of the nutritional quality of indigenous cropsTeresa Borelli
The GEF-funded Biodiversity for Food and Nutrition Initiative, led by Brazil, Kenya, Sri Lanka and Turkey – four countries burdened with malnutrition and yet home to a large variety of indigenous foods whose nutritional value remains largely unknown – is generating nutrition data for 140 indigenous species from the four countries. Promising traditional and/or neglected foods with nutrition potential will be used in food-based strategies to tackle malnutrition and increase dietary diversity, for example through school feeding programmes. While developing markets for local nutritious biodiversity, attention will be given to promoting their conservation and sustainable use to avoid over-exploitation.
Towards a better understanding of custodian farmers and their roles: insights...Helga Gruberg Cazon
This publication is the result of a research collaboration between Bioversity International and the Fundación para la Promoción e Investigación de Productos Andinos (PROINPA). It deals with issues regarding on-farm conservation of agrobiodiversity, which is a poorly addressed field of research in spite of its pivotal role in the maintenance of global crop diversity. Strategic actors in on-farm conservation are those farmers who, for various reasons, distinguish themselves from others by their contribution to conserving crop diversity. We call them ‘custodian famers’, even though the terminology may not be suitable to all social contexts. Understanding who these custodian farmers are, their presence over the territory, the types of crops they maintain, why and how, as well as gaining insights on the cultural, social and economic drivers behind their efforts is, for scientists, a very important step in devising effective on-farm conservation strategies and this booklet is a contribution in that direction. The open-ended interviews and participant observation methodologies provided in this study are helpful in guiding future methodological approaches and advancing our understanding of how the roles of custodian farmers can be better recognized, harnessed and supported by society. This work has been carried out in the framework of a major global UN Project supported by IFAD and the European Commission, which is focusing on the development of innovative participatory approaches for the conservation of neglected and underutilized species (NUS) on farm.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Most of the 119 reviewed NBSAPs
make general reference to Aichi

only 30% include details of concrete

Both wild and agricultural biodiversity
provide multiple ecosystem services that
support food production, underpin food
security and human wellbeing.
35% of the world’s land is farmed.
Agricultural land management is increasingly
important for wild biodiversity conservation.
At least 1/3 of world's crops depends
upon pollination provided by insects and
other animals. Wild biodiversity also
provides ecosystem services like pest
management.
Multi-functional field margins provide critical habitats
for wild biodiversity, e.g. pollinators and crop wild

In Burkina Faso, 130,000 people are in a
state of severe food insecurity –
a number expected to increase to over
600,000 during the 2018 lean season.
Forest foods – wild fruits, nuts,
vegetables, mushrooms and animal
products – provide a lifeline to rural
populations.
Yet many species, in the wild and in
managed forest environments, are under
threat.
