organic farming prospects and constraints
Organic farming is not a new concept in India, as Indian farmers traditionally practiced only organic methods before the Green Revolution introduced chemical fertilizers and pesticides in the 1960s. While the Green Revolution initially increased food production and self-sufficiency, overuse of chemicals has led to declining soil fertility, environmental pollution, and other issues. Organic farming aims to maintain soil health through natural techniques like using organic manures and biofertilizers without synthetic inputs. It provides higher quality, nutritious food while preserving the environment for future generations.
Climate smart agriculture
Agriculture in developing countries must undergo a significant transformation in order to meet the related challenges of achieving food security and responding to climate change. Projections based on population growth and food consumption patterns indicate that agricultural production will need to increase by at least 70 percent to meet demands by 2050. Most estimates also indicate that climate change is likely to reduce agricultural productivity, production stability and incomes in some areas that already have high levels of food insecurity. Developing climate-smart agriculture is thus crucial to achieving future food security and climate change goals. This seminar describe an approach to deal with the above issue viz. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and also examines some of the key technical, institutional, policy and financial responses required to achieve this transformation. Building on cases from the field, the seminar try to outlines a range of practices, approaches and tools aimed at increase the resilience and productivity of agricultural product systems, while also reducing and removing emissions. A part of the seminar elaborates institutional and policy options available to promote the transition to climate-smart agriculture at the smallholder level. Finally, the paper considers current gaps and makes innovative suggestion regarding the combined use of different sources, financing mechanism and delivery systems.

Strategies for development of livelihoods on drylands converted (1)
This document discusses strategies for developing livelihoods in dryland areas. It outlines how drought impacts agriculture and livelihoods through reduced rainfall, crop failures, and economic losses. Farmers employ ex-ante strategies like crop diversification and flexible decision making to reduce risk. Ex-post, they utilize activities like selling assets, taking loans, and seasonal migration. The document argues for integrated approaches involving drought tolerant technologies, soil/water management, diversified livelihoods, market access, infrastructure, and policies like insurance and early warning systems. Success requires identifying vulnerable areas, adopting global best practices to local conditions, scaling solutions, and problem-driven iterative development to address farmer needs.

Land degradation and desertification contribute to food insecurity by reducing the productivity of croplands and pasture. Addressing land degradation through sustainable land management practices such as crop rotation and soil fertility management can improve food security by increasing food production. However, fully solving food insecurity requires addressing both supply-side issues like land degradation as well as demand-side issues like reducing post-harvest food waste and unequal food consumption. Integrated solutions that blend supply-side and demand-side approaches across multiple stakeholders are needed.Tanzania climate change and disaster world vision - regional consultation

CSDRM.PM&E draft for consultation 10-02-11
The document proposes a Climate Smart Disaster Risk Management (CSDRM) approach to strengthen climate resilience. The approach has three pillars:
1. Tackle changing disaster risks and uncertainties by integrating climate adaptation, disaster risk management, and development efforts across sectors and scales through collaboration.
2. Enhance adaptive capacity by strengthening the ability of communities, organizations, and networks to innovate through learning and reflection, and ensuring flexible, accountable policies.
3. Address poverty and vulnerability by promoting equitable and just economic systems, advocating for basic rights, and empowering communities to influence decisions through participatory and transparent processes.
The approach is intended to guide planning, policy, programs and evaluation to build
Strengthening climate resilience workshop notes
The 3-day workshop aimed to develop a framework for operationalizing the concept of resilience. Participants struggled to develop indicators and found resilience difficult to define in static terms. Alternative approaches were discussed, focusing on processes, temporal scales, and defining interventions based on resilience characteristics rather than assets. Ultimately, a new framework was created using concepts from disaster risk reduction, climate adaptation, and sustainable development to guide programming toward resilient communities. Further field testing is needed to evaluate its usefulness.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

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.
