This document discusses climate-smart agriculture which aims to increase food security, adaptation to climate change, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It notes that agriculture contributes significantly to emissions but can also be part of the solution. Key points made include that climate-smart practices already exist but more investment is needed, smallholders require support to transition, and available financing is insufficient. Agriculture mitigation is not just about soils but also vegetation, and emission reductions per unit of food produced will make a major contribution. Monitoring does not need to measure everything but focus on strategic levels and proxies to help implement policies. Links between agriculture, forests, and REDD+ are also discussed.

POLICY SEMINAR
UNFSS Science Days Side Event: Reforming Agricultural Policies to Support Food Systems Transformation
Co-organized by IFPRI, Indian Council for International Economic Research (ICRIER) and Academy of Global Food Economics and Policy, China Agricultural University
JUL 7, 2021 - 09:30 AM TO 11:00 AM EDT
Food production will need to increase by at least 60 per cent over the next 35 years to provide food security for the 9 billion people expected to be living on the planet by 2050.
The changing climate directly impacts food security and the supply of nutritious, ample and safe sources of reasonably priced food for the planet’s 7 billion people as well as their growing demands. The warming of the planet is already affecting yields of crucial crops . Moreover, approximately one-quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions come from land-use, making sustainable practices in agriculture critical.

JUL 7, 2021 - 09:30 AM TO 11:00 AM EDT
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.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

4. Two Goals of Our Time
1. Achieving Food Security
– 1 billion hungry
– Food production to increase 70% by 2050
– Adaptation to Climate Change critical
2. Avoiding Dangerous Climate Change
– ”2 degree goal” requires major emission cuts
– Agriculture and Land use = 30% of emissions..
– ..and needs to be part of the solution

(yes) Yes
8. But solutions also depend on
• Demographic changes
– population
– urbanization
• Economic growth
• Structural changes in agriculture
• Consumption patterns
10. Climate-smart Agriculture
Agriculture that sustainably:
• increases productivity
• increases resilience (adaptation)
• reduces/removes GHGs
AND
• enhances achievement of national
food security and development goals
11. Key messages 1: Practises
• Climate-smart practices exist
• Ecosystem approach at landscape
level is crucial
• Investments are needed in
– filling data and knowledge gaps
– R&D of technologies, methodologies
– conservation and production of varieties
and breeds
12. Key messages 2: Policies
• Smallholders need institutional and
financial support for the transition
• Strengthened institutions for
dissemination and coordination
• Consistency between agriculture,
food security and climate change
policies
13. Key messages 3: Finance
• Available financing, current and
projected, are substantially insufficient
• Combining finance (public/private,
climate change/food security) improves
options
• Fast-track financing must take sector-
specific considerations into account
14. On scope of agriculture
mitigation
• It is not only about soils.
• Vegetation in agriculture landscapes
has a very large potential
• Emission reductions per produced
unit will be a major contribution
15. On MRV and Monitoring
• Often said to be an obstacle
• but, Don’t Worry!
• Some consolation:
– No need to measure Carbon or
emissions everywhere
– Only at strategic levels do we need to
monitor actual emissions
– At operational levels, focus will be on
proxies that help implement policies
16. Links to REDD+
• Emissions from forests are largely
caused by agriculture
• So REDD+ is largely to be achieved
in the agriculture sector
• Which means that climate-smart
agriculture should be included in
REDD+ strategies and finance
17. FAO actions
• MICCA Programme
– Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture
– Knowledge – emissions, mitigation potentials
– Pilots of mitigation payments
• EX-ACT – incorporating climate impact in
agriculture investment projects
• Adaptation Framework Programme
– Brings together adaptation in all FAO work areas
• UN-REDD Programme
