Defining An Intellectual Property Policy For INERA Burkina Faso
Defining An Intellectual Property Policy For INERA Burkina FasoCGIAR Central Advisory Service on Intellectual Property
In this case study, the author describes her methodology for creating awareness in IP management and implementing the IP policy for INERA, a national research institute in Burkina Faso. As a public entity, INERA has the mandate to ensure the formulation, implementation and coordination of environmental and agricultural research in Burkina Faso. INERA has produced many scientific results and innovations that are placed in the public domain which are promoted essentially through direct exploitation by producers and scientists, and the publication of scientific papers. The present paper emphasizes the need to sensitise and increase the awareness of scientists in IP issues to encourage their participation in IP policy implementation and assets evaluation. Difficulties encountered during the study include lack of awareness of IP issues and low understanding of IP-related legislations. The paper further recommends an implementation of a general IP policy in research at national and regional level in the framework of CORAF/WECARD. Sensitisation through workshops and meetings is essential to increase awareness of scientists and the various actors involved in the promotion of research results.Registering a GI in coffee from Mont Ziama, Guinée

Management of Drought and Desertification for Sustainable Agricultural Develo...
It is no gain saying today that uncontrolled and uncoordinated roles of man are responsible for geo-environmental degradation in Nigeria, be it intentional or inadvertent. Take for instance, Nigeria which will be the focus of this paper has some conservation legislations currently in force and yet the state has not and may never recover from devastating drought years. Many failed measures have been advanced as efforts to improving the productivity of the needed potential of large expanse of land put under cultivation proved unsuccessful. That is, all the measures ever launched to improve agricultural output are not yielding much needed positive results. This is partly due to poor management during persistent drought spells. However, this paper sets to unravel the drought management skills that could be employed to actualise agricultural sustainability. Basically, literature search of information from articles from Google scholar, libraries, etc. as well as personal survey to federal and state ministry of agriculture were exploited. It may be safe to state, therefore, that designing strategies to control or curb drought should take advantage of archived data for present and future research studies that may help arrest the seemingly physical march of the Sahara Desert into West Africa.

Gorgui Alioune Mbow Regional Deployment Manager – West & Central Africa IBP/IFAD Project Coordinator Cassava Weed Management Project June Newsletter 004
This document discusses preliminary results from a study on improved weed management practices for cassava farmers in Nigeria. The key points are:
1) Experimental plots showed that adopting improved weed control practices could double cassava yields for Nigerian farmers, increasing average yields from 12-13 tons per hectare to 20-39 tons per hectare.
2) In controlled experimental plots with improved weed management, a single cassava plant produced 34 kilograms of roots, compared to the average national yield of 1.2-1.3 kg per plant.
3) Weeds typically reduce cassava yields by 80% in uncontrolled fields. The study demonstrates that ensuring fields remain weed-free can significantly increase production.

An overview of weeding by robots – focus on European solutions
This presentation addressed an overview of the European context, mowing towards data-intensive farming, driven by the agfood sector. It is an invited presentation in the framework of a meeting coordinated by Matthew Cutulle (Clemson University) for a Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) planning grant about Robotic Weed Control in Specialty Crops. The meeting was organized as a side event during the Southeast Regional Fruit and Vegetable Conference. The presentation provides an overview of European trends on the topic, with a focus on the French institutional perspective aiming at the support and development of agricultural robotics to face the lack of labour and the willingness to phase out glyphosate. In this context, the RobAgri association was presented. The last part lists some sources of information about agricultural robotics, with a list of European sources of information on agricultural robotics and automation. The presentation ends with a list of robot examples that were compared from the agronomic point of view.
Profitability of Actors in the Value Chain of Commercial Rice
This qualitative study explored the value chain of commercial rice in Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines. It presented the value chain map of commercial rice highlighting the profitability of each actor involved in the value chain, namely paddy rice farmers, primary traders, millers, retailers, and final traders (wholesalers and retailers). The findings revealed that the miller contributes the highest value-added cost to commercial rice production, accounting for approximately 40.39% of the total, followed closely by the farmers at 39.22%. The primary trader represented 10.93%, while the wholesaler and retailer contributed 6.72% and 2.07% respectively. Analysis of the percentage of profit to cost showed that farmers earned the highest percentage at 32.36%, followed by the retailer at 8.48%, the primary trader at 5.11%, the miller at 2.32%, and the wholesaler at 1.68%. However, when considering the operating cycle of each actor, it became apparent that the primary trader emerged as the highest-earning actor due to their shorter operating cycle compared to other actors in the value chain. Hence, venturing into paddy rice production, trading, milling, and wholesaling of commercial rice in Nueva Vizcaya is profitable, given the wide market demand for rice as a staple food. There is a viable opportunity to enhance profitability among the various actors in the value chain, particularly for farmers, by leveraging appropriate government support programs, specifically by maximizing the utilization of initiatives provided under the Rice Tariffication Law.

In this context, the RobAgri association was presented. The last part lists some sources of information about agricultural robotics, with a list of European sources of information on agricultural robotics and automation. The presentation ends with a list of robot examples that were compared from the agronomic point of view.
Profitability of Actors in the Value Chain of Commercial Rice
This qualitative study explored the value chain of commercial rice in Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines. It presented the value chain map of commercial rice highlighting the profitability of each actor involved in the value chain, namely paddy rice farmers, primary traders, millers, retailers, and final traders (wholesalers and retailers). The findings revealed that the miller contributes the highest value-added cost to commercial rice production, accounting for approximately 40.39% of the total, followed closely by the farmers at 39.22%. The primary trader represented 10.93%, while the wholesaler and retailer contributed 6.72% and 2.07% respectively. Analysis of the percentage of profit to cost showed that farmers earned the highest percentage at 32.36%, followed by the retailer at 8.48%, the primary trader at 5.11%, the miller at 2.32%, and the wholesaler at 1.68%. However, when considering the operating cycle of each actor, it became apparent that the primary trader emerged as the highest-earning actor due to their shorter operating cycle compared to other actors in the value chain. Hence, venturing into paddy rice production, trading, milling, and wholesaling of commercial rice in Nueva Vizcaya is profitable, given the wide market demand for rice as a staple food. There is a viable opportunity to enhance profitability among the various actors in the value chain, particularly for farmers, by leveraging appropriate government support programs, specifically by maximizing the utilization of initiatives provided under the Rice Tariffication Law.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
