Summerland Community Global Warming Plan of Action
This document is Summerland's Community Climate Action Plan. It acknowledges that climate change poses challenges and outlines Summerland's goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to meet provincial targets. A 2007 baseline inventory found Summerland emitted 77,081 tonnes of CO2e primarily from transportation, buildings and solid waste. The plan establishes 4 goals: 1) minimize urban sprawl through compact development, 2) improve energy efficiency, 3) transition to renewable energy, and 4) support effective emissions reduction initiatives through actions like promoting recycling and renewable energy.
Okanagan Waterwise: Assessment of Water Management and Global Warming
This document presents the findings of a study that used participatory integrated assessment and system dynamics modeling to explore water management and climate change in the Okanagan Basin of British Columbia. The study involved workshops where stakeholders collaborated to develop a system dynamics model of the basin's water system. The model explored scenarios of population growth, climate change, urban development patterns, and various adaptation strategies. The report details the workshop process, describes the system dynamics model developed, and presents results from different model scenarios examining issues like urban and agricultural water demand under climate change. The overarching goal was to facilitate shared learning among stakeholders about complex water management challenges in the Okanagan Basin.
C2.1. Innovation, institutional learning and networks for development in LAC
This document discusses innovation, institutional learning, and networks for agricultural development in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It provides examples of experiences at different levels, including the INNOVAGRO network which involves stakeholders in national agricultural research systems across the hemisphere, sub-regional networks like PROCIS, and El Salvador's Family Agriculture Plan. Key lessons are that trust is important for partnerships and networks to work effectively, and local innovation networks are important given innovations often occur at the territorial level. The document concludes with proposals like promoting a global partnership for family farming development and implementing a hemispheric strategy to modernize agricultural research institutions in LAC.
Stretching Urban Water Supplies in Colorado
This document summarizes strategies for reducing landscape water use in Colorado municipalities. It finds that Colorado has limited water supplies due to its semi-arid climate but a growing population, creating supply and demand issues. The study examines various non-price strategies like education and policies, and price strategies like inclining block rates and water budgets. It finds little scientific research on strategy effectiveness and calls for more collaborative evaluation of strategies that reduce water use while protecting businesses and utilities.
GCARD2: Briefing paper North-South and South-South Collaborative Actions
The Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) and the European Forum on Agricultural Research for Development (EFARD) through The European Alliance on Agricultural Knowledge for Development (AGRINATURA), joined forces in the implementation of the Platform for African-European Partnership on Agricultural Development (PAEPARD), established with funding from the European Union. Among the problems addressed by PAEPARD are: insufficient capacities of African agricultural knowledge organisations, at regional and national levels, on multi-stakeholder partnership for innovation systems; lack of effective linkages between research, extension and rural development.

P1.1. Feeding a Billion Plus: the Indian Way
India feeds over 17% of the world's population while having only 2.4% of the world's land area and 4.2% of its water resources. It produces over 250 million tons of food grains annually and is the world's largest producer of milk, pulses, and second largest producer of rice, wheat, fruits, and vegetables. However, demand for food is projected to increase substantially by 2050 due to population growth. Continued efforts are needed to boost agricultural productivity through improved crop varieties, irrigation, and risk management in order to ensure future food security.
C1.1. L'Aquila Food Security Initiative
Donors pledged over $22 billion over 3 years at the 2009 L'Aquila G7 Summit to address global food security through the L'Aquila Food Security Initiative (AFSI). The donors committed to align investments with country-led plans, pursue comprehensive approaches, strengthen strategic coordination, leverage multilateral institutions, and make sustained commitments. By 2012, donors had committed 99% and disbursed 58% of the $22 billion pledge. Sub-initiatives of AFSI are investigating ways to increase transparency and monitor commitments on agricultural research funding and the impact of funds spent in select countries on reducing poverty and stunting.

Book presentation during CIAT’s 50th Anniversary.
Until now, a written history of CIAT had not been produced, and the closest attempt were the papers presented at the 30th anniversary celebration, which focused on the early development of the Center.
The 50th anniversary offers an opportunity to fill this void. But what makes up the history of an institution, particularly a research institution? It must start with the ideas and the context that went into its initial design and then examine how the organization adapted, changed, and evolved in relation to a dynamic external environment.

This document discusses how the global agri-food industry is undergoing transformations due to growth of large agribusiness companies and changing consumer trends. It uses South Africa as a case study to show how retailers there are responding through procurement policies that develop smallholder farmers and innovation in climate-resilient crops. While international consumer trends impact African agriculture, Africa must develop its own path that strengthens rural livelihoods. A key point is that businesses need to create markets for what farmers can grow rather than forcing certification standards. However, existing power dynamics in the industry remain important.
African Circular Economy Network
This document summarizes the work of ACEN, a non-profit network promoting circular economies across Africa. It connects 29 in-country chapters to share expertise on regenerating local economies through sustainable production and consumption. Examples are given of circular projects in various African countries related to waste valorization, biomimicry, permaculture, industrial symbiosis, and renewable energy. The network's goal is to generate well-being and prosperity on the continent through circular systems that maintain environmental resources.

GFAR / GODAN / CTA webinar #2 "Key data for farmers" - Stephen Kalyesubula - ...
[Webinar recording in last slide or at https://youtu.be/taHHp3UbRZI, 28/2/2018]
As part of its work on farmers’ data rights and following up on the face-to-face course on Farmers’ Access to Data organized in Centurion in November 2017, GFAR collaborates with the Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition initiative (GODAN) and the Technical Center for Agricultural and Rural Cooperarion (CTA) on a series of webinars on data-driven agriculture, its opportunities and its challenges.
Overview of webinar #2
Data becomes significant if it can be linked to information, knowledge and wisdom. Once processed it can be used to generate detailed insights into farm operations and the environment. It assists big and small holder farmers in making data-based operational decisions to optimize yield and boost revenue while minimizing expenses, the chances of crop failure, and environmental impact.
For data driven agriculture to happen we have to distinguish the data streams in the food chain from pre-planting to consumption, for example: data collected and managed from the farm by farmers which can be either static or dynamic; data coming from external sources like market prices and data that is exported for aggregation by other farm service providers. However, farmers may not be in a position to realize those streams and possibly what data and information is required to answer the food chain questions, for example: What produce can I grow where I live? When should I sow/plant/harvest/market it? How should I sow/plant/harvest/market it? All these questions can be answered if the factual data or information is used or made available to the farmers.
Webinar Goals
Make the participants understand the different key data streams, flow and sources that are vital to agricultural value chains. Participants will be in position to identify the data they own or collect on their farms and its usefulness, understand the difference between human and machine farm data, identify the part in the agricultural value chain where data, and which data, is needed most.

As part of its work on farmers’ data rights and following up on the face-to-face course on Farmers’ Access to Data organized in Centurion in November 2017, GFAR collaborates with the Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition initiative (GODAN) and the Technical Center for Agricultural and Rural Cooperarion (CTA) on a series of webinars on data-driven agriculture, its opportunities and its challenges.
Overview of webinar #1
Precision agriculture is a promising set of technologies that is data intensive, but which has limited adoption by small holder farms in Sub-Saharan Africa. Concurrently, current trends in sustainability, traceability, and compliance reporting demand that an ever-increasing amount of data be gathered as part of everyday operations in modern production agriculture.
The use of farm management information systems (FMIS) for decision support has shown great promise for improving farm yields and profitability. However, growers are often unsure of the value of the data that they are providing and/or receiving. How does this data help them make the right decisions to improve their yield and profitability? How do growers and service providers work together to simplify the design and use of farm data? How can smallholder farmers take advantage of data in a mutually valuable relationship with data providers?
Webinar Goals
Provide attendees a foundation for understanding the use of data for farming and across the agricultural value chain. Attendees should be able to apply the core concepts of using data for field operations, as well as how data is used across the value chain. Attendees will be introduced to the opportunities and challenges of using data, especially for smallholder farmers.
