1. Climate change is projected to increase water-related risks like water shortages and floods through changes in water quantity and quality. This poses challenges for the agriculture sector.
2. Adaptation options like improving water storage, irrigation systems, and rainfed agriculture as well as policies around trade, population growth, and pollution management need to be comprehensively assessed to address impacts on water availability, agricultural production, and food security under climate change.
3. Both water-based technical solutions and non-water policy options will be important to manage the growing problems of water variability, scarcity, and degradation exacerbated by climate change and socioeconomic development.

Water for Agriculture in 2050: Are We Ready?CIMMYT
Presentation delivered by Dr. Uma Lele (Development Economist, USA/India) at Borlaug Summit on Wheat for Food Security. March 25 - 28, 2014, Ciudad Obregon, Mexico.
http://www.borlaug100.org
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.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. Enhance rainfed water management (watershed level
management, RWH, joint management of inputs on farm,
agricultural R&D – breeding)
2. Increase water storage (above, below ground and in the soil)
3. Address water variability in irrigation systems
4. Improve the enabling environment (water and land rights,
incentives to use water sustainably)
5. Focus on non-water policies and assess their impact on
water (trade policy, ag R&D, energy development, input and

How to address water degradation?
For consumers, cities and industrial sectors, solutions include:
1) More aggressive investment in wastewater treatment
2) Adoption of innovative and alternative approaches, such as the use of Green Infrastructure
3) Improved home and industrial design to minimize pollution
4) Enhanced management of stormwater runoff to avoid contamination of treated water supplies
5) Close nutrient cycles: Recovery of effluents and sewage and safe reuse in agriculture
For the agricultural sector:
1) Enhanced nutrient use efficiency
2) Phased out fertilizer subsidies
3) No-till or reduced tillage and other conservation measures
4) Manure management
Cross-sectoral measures:
1) Water quality trading
2) Increased implementation of the polluter-pays-principle
3) Enhanced monitoring of both point and non-point sources
4) Enforcement of existing regulations on water pollution
22. 1. Climate change increases a host of water and related
impacts: wetter wet seasons and drier dry seasons;
increased crop water demand; increased reliance on storage
2. Climate smart practices can increase or reduce adverse
water [energy] impacts (neg: biofuel development; pos:
manure management)
3. Water-based [storage/drip]; water-related [nitrogen-use
efficiency, no till, DT/HT, reforestation, WUAs, water
markets]; non-water measures [trade, pop/econ growth, ag
input and output support policies, PHL] are all important
pieces in addressing growing water variability, shortages and
degradation
