Integrated termite management in degraded crop land in Diga District, EthiopiaInternational Water Management Institute (IWMI)
This document summarizes a study on integrated termite management in degraded crop lands in Ethiopia. The study found that termite damage is a serious problem caused by land degradation, deforestation, overgrazing, and other factors. Applying cattle manure and crop residues to fields significantly improved soil fertility and organic matter content, increased maize yields, reduced termite counts, and was preferred by farmers over other treatments. The study concluded that addressing underlying land degradation and improving soil fertility through practices like manure and residue application can help reduce termite damage while improving livelihoods.Improving agricultural water productivity through integrated termite management

Tree-Crop Interactions
This document discusses how trees can positively impact annual food crop production by reducing various challenges. It provides examples of how trees can increase water availability for crops through reduced evaporation, hydraulic lift, and improved soil water retention. Trees can also fix nitrogen and recycle nutrients through organic acid exudation and mycorrhizal partnerships, benefiting crops. Additionally, trees may help control pests and rodents, and reduce heat and water stress for crops. The effects depend on tree and crop species selection and spacing, as well as soil fertility management. Measuring environmental, productivity and stress indicators can help understand these impacts. The goal is to answer practical questions for maize farmers on how to best integrate trees and crops.
Climate-smart agriculture: panacea or propaganda?
This presentation by Todd Rosenstock & Christine Lamanna was given at a session titled "Using climate-smart technologies to scale up climate-smart agriculture practices" at the Global Landscapes Forum in Lima, Peru, on December 7, 2014.
The panel presentation and discussion focused on how these climate-smart technologies can be scaled-up to benefit smallholder farmers. This was followed by a public debate.

Climate change and insect distribution: its implications
The presentation was delivered as a part of Credit Seminar for the partial fulfillment of MSc (Agri.) degree in Extension Education.
The global temperature over the last few decades has been constantly rising with a gradual change in other climatic parameters. It is a matter of grave concern that questions the existence of life on earth in future. Insects, being the most sensitive of all, are likely to be more affected than other life forms. But the effect of climate change on insects will affect all other living beings, either directly or indirectly. However, the precise impact of climate change on insects is somewhat uncertain because some climate changes may favor insects while others may inhibit a few insects. But it is certain that it will disrupt the ecological balance to which humans will be the worst sufferer. The purpose of the study is to (i) discuss the effect of different climatic parameters on insect pests and their natural enemies with reference to agriculture, and (ii) list out some of the measures to control the effects of climate change. The current study discusses some of the incidences of adverse effects of climate change on insects with special reference to Assam. Besides, it also depicts some of the novel strategies undertaken by the scientists of Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat and other extension personnel to create awareness among the masses and mitigate such effects in Assam. It also gives emphasis on entomophagy (use of insects as human food) and the socio-cultural effects associated with it owing to climate change and insect distribution pattern.
Long term agroecosystem research network
The Long Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) Network aims to inform national strategies for sustainably intensifying U.S. agriculture through assessing, testing, and forecasting the effects of different management strategies. The network evaluates strategies across multiple domains, including commodities, climate, inputs, environmental quality, technology and innovation, and rural communities. LTAR locations conduct common experiments to measure sustainability indicators across these domains. The network then interprets, extrapolates, and communicates the outcomes to different stakeholders to refine indicators and strategies for sustainably meeting global food demand.

Agrobiodiversity research challenges - Meine van Noordwijk
Agrobiodiversity research challenges - Meine van NoordwijkCCAFS | CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security
The document discusses challenges related to agrobiodiversity research, specifically sustainable intensification, landscape buffers and filters, and land sharing versus land sparing. It notes divergent models of territorial configuration and examines landscape variability, climate variability, and human vulnerability. Adaptation strategies are discussed in relation to reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience through filters, buffers, and building adaptive capacity. Different landscape intensification pathways are presented ranging from fully intensified to extensively used landscapes. Key research challenges are identified around quantifying buffer and filter functions under different intensification approaches and climate variability, as well as supporting social and economic institutions to achieve sustainable weighting of economy-ecology tradeoffs.Workshop Trade-off Analysis - CGIAR_20 Feb 2013_Keynote Todd Crane
This document discusses the encounter between research and agrarian cultures. It provides conceptual clarifications around impact and culture, and examines examples of the co-production of knowledge through soil fertility trials and rotational grazing practices. The document concludes that achieving impact is a process, not a goal, and that change emerges from practice and relationships rather than being perfectly planned or predicted.

This document discusses balancing food safety and sustainability in fresh produce systems through co-management. It proposes an adaptive management approach involving stakeholder participation to address problems while acknowledging uncertainties. Key pressures include water quality regulations, food safety laws, and liability risks. The document outlines UC Cooperative Extension's efforts to demonstrate robust conversations among stakeholders and examine implications of conservation practices for food safety through online resources and a field practices tool. It provides examples of co-management decisions around irrigation, cover crops, soil amendments, and vegetative buffers adjacent to production fields. The goal is to minimize food contamination risks while conserving natural resources.
Evidence- and risk-based planning for a climate-smart agriculture
1) The document discusses using risk-based modeling to inform climate-smart agriculture (CSA) planning. It involves using household survey and crop modeling data to understand climate risks and prioritize CSA practices.
2) Preliminary results for Niger suggest priority investments should focus on cereal-producing households in the Sahelian zone who face food insecurity. Further crop modeling may help disentangle the specific climate risks like drought and heat stress.
3) The analysis also found the CSA practices compendium to be incomplete, and more field experiments are needed that directly inform the types of modeling approaches discussed.
Livestock and Climate Change
This Thematic Paper is part of a Toolkit for Project Design (Livestock Thematic Papers: Tools for Project Design) which reflects IFAD’s commitment to developing a sustainable livestock sector in which poor farmers and herders might have higher incomes, and better access to assets, services, technologies and markets.
The paper indents to be a practical tool for development practitioners, project designers and policymakers to define appropriate livestock development interventions. It also provides recommendations on critical issues for rural development and also possible responses and actions to encourage the socio-economic empowerment of poor livestock keepers.

This document summarizes a study exploring the interplay between forest conservation, food security, and commodity production in tropical forest landscapes. The study uses a nested, three-level design to examine three land use zones - forest, rubber agroforestry, and oil palm plantation - in Kapuas Hulu, Indonesia. Field methods include household surveys, biodiversity surveys, and assessments of ecosystem services, agriculture, livelihoods, and nutrition. The goal is to provide empirical evidence to inform debates around land sparing versus land sharing, and advance understanding of agricultural landscapes as socio-ecological systems. Preliminary results suggest that increasing agricultural production alone may not ensure food security or livelihoods.

This document discusses metrics for measuring progress on climate resilience in agricultural systems and value chains. It provides an overview of challenges in operationalizing resilience, proposes a pragmatic definition focused on enhancing adaptive capacity, and suggests indicators. Key recommendations include: (1) focus on assessing interventions that enhance resilience capacities rather than directly measuring resilience; (2) integrate resilience metrics with existing monitoring where possible; (3) examine interventions in terms of the shocks addressed, target outcomes, and how capacities are strengthened. A suite of indicators is presented relating to production systems, socioeconomics, and policy.CIAT participation in CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry

Adaptation Strategies in Agriculture_Almaz
This document discusses adaptation strategies for agriculture in the face of climate change. It outlines that effective adaptation can manage the negative impacts of climate change on agriculture. Adaptation is a process of socio-institutional co-learning that uses information at various levels. Adaptation will depend on adjustments at all levels from community to international, though capacity varies between locations and development levels. The adaptation process can reduce climate impacts and enhance development, but depends on factors like wealth, technology, education and management capabilities. Gender must be mainstreamed to avoid increasing inequality and ensure successful adaptation. Adaptation measures should be evidence-based and have multiple economic and environmental benefits. Possible agricultural adaptations include cultural practices, land use changes, management changes like irrigation and awareness
Effect of climate change on agriculture

The presentation covered definitions of weather and climate, factors affecting climate change, how agriculture contributes to and is impacted by climate change, and potential adaptations and solutions for agriculture under climate change.
From Simple to Complex – Phytobiomes and the 2050 Vision for Agriculture
Kellye Eversole, Executive Director, Phytobiomes Alliance & the IWGSC
Phytobiomes are plants in a biome (a specific geophysical environment - e.g., soil, weather -- and all macro- and micro-organisms – e.g., microbes, insects, animals associated with the specific site). Phytobiomes research is a holistic, systems-level approach that integrates many disciplines including geophysics, biology, breeding, agronomy, modeling, and engineering. By focusing on the phytobiome, we will be able to elucidate, quantify, model, predict, act, manipulate, prevent, and ultimately prescribe the cropping systems, methods, and management practices most suited for sustainable production on a particular farm, grassland, or forest. The International Alliance for Phytobiomes Research, an industry-academic consortium, was created in 2016 to bring this vision to fruition. The phytobiomes concept and the research and resource priorities of the Phytobiomes Alliance will be presented.

This document outlines a conceptual framework and proposed methodology for investigating the adequacy of adaptation strategies to climate impacts like sea level rise, drought, and flooding. It involves:
1) Analyzing factors that influence climate impacts and the effectiveness of adaptation strategies through a literature review and meta-analysis.
2) Conducting pilot studies in select communities across regions to develop and test methods for assessing coping strategies and their outcomes on food security, livelihoods, and the environment.
3) Developing climate-resilient policy recommendations based on evidence from evaluating current adaptation strategies and their societal consequences. The goal is to generate generally applicable methods for assessing rural producers' strategies under climate change.
July 30-1030-Rob Davis2
Heidi Hartmann from Argonne National Laboratory presented on the growth of utility-scale solar development in the US and potential benefits of establishing pollinator habitat at solar sites. Utility-scale solar capacity grew 93% annually between 2008-2018, with 33.8 GW installed in 2018 across 275 square miles. Typical construction clears vegetation but some companies now use low-impact methods like leaving plants. Establishing pollinator habitat could help declining pollinator populations while providing agricultural benefits to nearby crops through increased pollination worth millions of dollars annually. Field studies are underway to measure pollinator response at solar sites.

The document discusses the potential of novel perennial plants for more sustainable farming systems that can better adapt to climate change. Perennials can use water and resources more efficiently than annual crops and pastures. Examples mentioned include new woody crops, shrubs for fodder, perennial pastures through the EverGraze program, and perennial crops through EverCrop. Successful development of new perennial systems requires matching plant opportunities to farm resources, genetic improvement over many years, and integrated system testing. Specific plants discussed include Lotus corniculatus, sub-tropical grasses, and Bituminaria bituminosa.Greenhouse gas accounting for the land-based sector - Annette Cowie

This document discusses greenhouse gas accounting for land-based sectors. It covers accounting for national inventories, emissions trading schemes, offset projects, and life cycle assessments. Key points include that accounting methods must balance accuracy and cost while providing the right incentives. For offset projects, abatement must be additional, measurable, permanent, and avoid leakage. Uncertainty can be addressed through discounting estimates or modeling average carbon stocks over the long term. The goal is to reward intentional actions that reduce emissions on average.More Related Content

Specific plants discussed include Lotus corniculatus, sub-tropical grasses, and Bituminaria bituminosa.Greenhouse gas accounting for the land-based sector - Annette Cowie
Greenhouse gas accounting for the land-based sector - Annette CowieClimate Change Research Strategy for Primary Industries
This document discusses greenhouse gas accounting for land-based sectors. It covers accounting for national inventories, emissions trading schemes, offset projects, and life cycle assessments. Key points include that accounting methods must balance accuracy and cost while providing the right incentives. For offset projects, abatement must be additional, measurable, permanent, and avoid leakage. Uncertainty can be addressed through discounting estimates or modeling average carbon stocks over the long term. The goal is to reward intentional actions that reduce emissions on average.Opportunities emerging from consumer led changes - David Pearson
Opportunities emerging from consumer led changes - David PearsonClimate Change Research Strategy for Primary Industries
This document summarizes a presentation on opportunities for primary industries from consumer-led changes towards a more climate-friendly diet. Key findings from research with Australian consumers show that most want to lead a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle and consider the environment when making food choices. The research also identifies high priority areas for government action to reduce meat, dairy, and junk food consumption as well as food waste. This suggests benefits for primary producers to develop climate-friendly branded products and understand shifting consumer demand towards a more sustainable food system.Things to Watch - Music Edition

This document summarizes the results of a study analyzing the greenhouse gas emissions from 41 Australian dairy farms. It finds that total GHG emissions and emission intensity (emissions per ton of milk solids) varied significantly between farms based on factors like regional location, level of grain feeding, herd size, and farm area. Emissions intensity was highest in Tasmania and lowest in New South Wales. Farms with lower levels of grain feeding (<1 tonne per year) had higher emission intensities than those feeding more grain. Accounting for all emissions sources, average emission intensity across all farms was 14.3 tons of CO2e per ton of milk solids.Managing risk in a highly variable climate: farmer case study - Barry Mudge

This study examined indigenous climate change adaptation practices of smallholder farmers in Chikhwawa District, Southern Malawi. The researchers identified several key indigenous adaptation strategies used by farmers, including crop diversification, eating a wild tuber plant called nyika, applying organic manure to fields, mixed crop-livestock farming, small-scale irrigation, and generating non-farm income. Factors like household size, income, access to markets and extension services affected the adoption of these strategies. The researchers concluded that promoting indigenous practices through improved extension, collective action, and domesticating nyika could help farmers better adapt to climate change.
HIGH-THROUGHPUT PHENOTYPING METHODS FOR ECONOMIC TRAITS and DESIGNER PLANT TY...
A growing world population is expected to cause a "perfect storm" of food, feed, and biofuel. Under the climate change scenario, it is a challenge for agricultural scientists to ensure food and nutritional security for an ever-increasing population with limited and rapidly depleting resources. However, researchers are now observing that conventional breeding methods will not be sufficient to meet projected future demands for foods. To overcome these constraints, plant breeding has evolved over the past two decades towards a much closer integration of high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) tools and technologies.
The "phenotyping revolution" targets extremely precise and accurate measurements of very specific traits in large populations in the field. Sorghum breeding is not new to this advancement, which obviously implies significant shifts in the breeding programs. First, it indicates breeders integrate trait assessment with traditional yield and agronomic evaluation, emphasising that breeding programmes are opened up to new or other disciplines. It additionally requires that these new or other disciplines think about and conceptualise their own actions and orientations from the perspective of how they may fit into a breeding methodology. In this instance, the four primary sorghum breeding domains—staying green and transpiration limitation under high vapour pressure deficit (VPD); nodal root angle and depth; grain mineral content (Fe, Zn); and grain and stover quality traits—are tightly correlated with HTP. These ongoing initiatives focus on value of the particular trait and why it is considered by breeders; how it is measured with HTP approaches (method, throughput, cost, simplicity) and finally, how these traits are currently being embedded in the breeding program. Through various research, it became evident there are several other avenues of technology that, although not yet routinely implemented, could bring about a major benefit to the breeding programme’s endeavour to increase the rate of genetic gains. Here, we discuss the use of drone imaging for yield trial quality control and pinpoint plot heterogeneity, the integration of quality analysis into the assessment of agronomic traits in the field, and the use of X-ray spectroscopy to assess grain or crop architecture traits.

This study used species distribution modeling and representation gap analysis to assess how current and future climates may impact the potential distribution and habitat suitability of Vitex doniana in Benin, West Africa. The MaxEnt algorithm showed V. doniana distribution is strongly influenced by annual rainfall, temperature diurnal range, and temperature of the driest quarter. Under current climate, about 85% of Benin has suitable habitat for its cultivation. Suitable habitat is projected to increase by 3-12% under future climates. Over 75% of protected areas in Benin provide suitable habitat currently, with increases of 14-23% projected. The findings suggest opportunities for integrating V. doniana in agricultural systems and highlight its potential for ecosystem restoration
Sustainability, Environment and Climate Change: Crop Production and Health Im...
Climate change presents threats and opportunities to agriculture and food systems that will impact nutrition and health. Current methods for projecting climate impacts on crop production and linking them to nutrition have limitations. There are many sources of uncertainty in these projections, including climate model uncertainty and uncertainty in how crops will respond. Appropriate levels of complexity are needed when expanding modeling systems to address current limitations while representing uncertainty. Linking quantitative climate, crop, and nutrition models can provide a simple view of impacts but more research is needed to better represent food systems.

Can we reduce nitrous oxide emissions from crops? - Sally OfficerClimate Change Research Strategy for Primary Industries
1) Nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural soils are a major source of emissions in Australia, with fertilizer application being a key driver.
2) A study measured nitrous oxide emissions from wheat crops with different nitrogen sources and found significantly higher emissions when urea fertilizer was used compared to no fertilizer or a legume rotation.
3) Legume rotations supplied sufficient nitrogen for wheat growth in low rainfall years and generated less nitrous oxide emissions than urea fertilizer, though establishing legumes can be challenging in drier conditions.Is it commercially viable to use dicyandiamide on a dairy farm in south-weste...
Is it commercially viable to use dicyandiamide on a dairy farm in south-weste...Climate Change Research Strategy for Primary Industries
The document summarizes research into the commercial viability of using dicyandiamide (DCD) on dairy farms in southwestern Victoria to reduce nitrous oxide emissions and increase pasture growth. Based on the results, using DCD is not currently economically feasible as the potential benefits of reduced emissions and increased dry matter production are not large enough to offset the costs of DCD application. For DCD use to be viable would require showing larger increases in pasture growth, higher fertilizer prices, lower DCD prices, or an emissions trading scheme with higher carbon prices. Further research is still needed.How will the impact of elevated carbon dioxide on grain production vary with ...

The document summarizes a study examining how elevated carbon dioxide levels will impact grain production across different soil types. The study exposed wheat and field pea crops grown in three different Australian soil types to ambient and elevated (550 ppm) carbon dioxide levels. In the first year, there was no effect of elevated carbon dioxide on dry matter, nitrogen uptake, or grain yield. Soil type had a large impact on these variables. In the second year, elevated carbon dioxide and soil type interacted to impact plant growth and nitrogen uptake in field peas. The study also found elevated carbon dioxide and soil phosphorus levels interacted to influence root growth, nutrient uptake and distribution in pulses. The results indicate the effect of elevated carbon dioxide on nutrientA field study on the impact of the nitrification inhibitor DMPP on nitrous ox...

The study evaluated the impact of the nitrification inhibitor DMPP on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from a pasture in southwestern Victoria treated with urea fertilizer. When applied with urea, DMPP delayed the formation of nitrates, reduced cumulative net N2O emissions by 73% over 6 months, and increased dry matter production by 6% compared to urea alone. DMPP particularly reduced N2O emissions during periods of high rainfall and temperature by inhibiting the nitrification process. The results demonstrate that DMPP can significantly decrease N2O emissions from fertilized pastures while maintaining crop growth.Securing pulses under changed climates - Rebecca Ford

Impact of climate change on wheat phenology in the NSW wheat belt - De Li LiuClimate Change Research Strategy for Primary Industries
The document models the impacts of climate change on wheat flowering times in the NSW wheat belt of Australia. It finds that under climate change, spring wheat flowering times will be shortened, especially with earlier sowing dates. Winter wheat flowering times will be shortened in cooler eastern regions and lengthened in warmer western regions. Heat stress risks for spring wheat increase with late sowing dates after 2070, though grain filling stress may decrease due to earlier flowering. For winter wheat, heat stress risks during flowering and grain filling increase in some northwestern regions after 2030. The document recommends adapting sowing dates, changing varieties, and breeding slower developing spring varieties.Will climate change negate better farm management for improving water quality...

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

"Frontline Battles with DDoS: Best practices and Lessons Learned", Igor Ivaniuk
At this talk we will discuss DDoS protection tools and best practices, discuss network architectures and what AWS has to offer. Also, we will look into one of the largest DDoS attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure that happened in February 2022. We'll see, what techniques helped to keep the web resources available for Ukrainians and how AWS improved DDoS protection for all customers based on Ukraine experience
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...
Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
