The document discusses the importance of gender equity in agricultural research and development. It makes four key points:
1) Women play a vital role in agriculture but lack equal access to resources like land, education, inputs and technology, limiting productivity. Reducing gender inequality could increase yields by 20%.
2) Involving women is important for sustainability as they maintain biodiversity and climate change strategies.
3) It improves food security and nutrition as women control food distribution and child nutrition.
4) Empowering women through equitable interventions can significantly boost incomes and reduce poverty.
The document advocates for mainstreaming gender considerations in agricultural R&D through representation of women researchers and relevance to women farmers.

Empowering women through targeting information or role models: Evidence from...International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
This study examined the impact of providing agricultural extension information directly to women versus men in Uganda. Researchers conducted a randomized controlled trial where extension videos were shown to either individual male farmers, individual female farmers, or farming couples. They found that providing information directly to women increased their knowledge, involvement in agricultural decisions, adoption of recommended practices, and production outcomes more than when the information was only provided to men. Including women as messengers in extension videos, where they could act as role models, also helped reduce male dominance in decision making and increased female adoption. Directly targeting women with agricultural information and including them as leaders helped empower women and improve agricultural and household outcomes.Importance of agriculture extension A Lecture By Mr Allah Dad Khan
This document discusses the importance of agriculture extension in Pakistan. It provides definitions of agriculture extension and outlines its key goals and services. Agriculture extension aims to increase farmers' productivity and livelihoods by providing critical knowledge and advice. It helps farmers solve problems and adopt new technologies through participatory approaches. The document also notes Pakistan's rankings in several agricultural commodities and the importance of its irrigation system. Overall, agriculture extension works to educate farmers, accelerate adoption of innovations, and improve living standards.
Organic Agriculture and Womens' Empowerment
This document summarizes a study on organic agriculture and women's empowerment. It finds that conventional farming is strongly associated with masculine identities, limiting women's participation and influence. Organic and sustainable farming offers more opportunities for women, though the sector still struggles with gender biases. Case studies show that women often pursue smaller-scale, family-oriented organic production for local markets. While this empowers women economically, the gender division of labor is still not fully challenged on farms. Overall, the study aims to increase understanding of how organic agriculture can promote gender equality and women's meaningful participation in the sector.

This document summarizes a webinar that challenged four common myths about the feminization of agriculture and its implications for global food security.
The webinar debunked the myths that 1) feminization is the predominant global trend, 2) feminization is bad for agriculture, 3) women left behind are passive victims, and 4) all women farmers face similar challenges. It highlighted that roles and opportunities for men and women vary widely by context. Addressing structural disadvantages faced by women farmers, recognizing their contributions to household food security, and tailoring interventions to different groups of women are important for improving agricultural production and food systems. More research is needed on changing rural labor patterns and their impacts on food security for various communities

Agriculture research and extension in PAKISTAN
The document provides an overview of agricultural research and extension in Pakistan. It notes that Pakistan's agriculture is complex with diverse geography, crops, and farming systems. It discusses how the agricultural research system has served Pakistan reasonably well by developing high-yielding varieties, but now needs conceptual changes. It also outlines issues with the current system such as inadequate funding, lack of facilities/equipment, and human resource problems. The document calls for reforms like increasing institutional autonomy, incentivizing private sector R&D, focusing on small farmers, and overhauling the scientist salary and career structures.
Sustainable intensification tradeoff and synergies
This document discusses sustainable intensification in African agriculture. It notes that increasing production sustainably involves complex tradeoffs across social, economic, environmental, and other domains. The document proposes a framework for assessing these tradeoffs using indicators at different scales. Key tradeoffs mentioned include balancing short-term production against long-term sustainability, and reconciling competing needs around issues like land and resource use between different groups. The framework is intended to help identify tradeoffs, evaluate technologies, and monitor community impacts over time to support more sustainable agricultural intensification in Africa.

Why does Gender matter for agricultural productivity in Africa?
Why does Gender matter for agricultural productivity in Africa?African Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS)
This document discusses why gender is important for agricultural productivity in Africa. It notes that women make up 30-80% of the agricultural workforce in Africa but face challenges. Estimates show gender gaps in productivity could be reduced by 13-30% by equalizing access to resources. However, current estimates only measure land productivity and do not fully account for women's labor or outputs. The document outlines challenges in accurately measuring gender gaps and proposes recommendations like increasing women's access to labor, higher value crops, and agricultural inputs to improve productivity while empowering women.APAARI Session on openness in agricultural information and knowledge sharing

It provides examples from Africa and South Asia of how providing farmers with relevant climate information through partnerships between meteorological services and agricultural research can help farmers make decisions under uncertain climate conditions. It outlines challenges to realizing the potential of climate services for farmers and identifies key steps to scaling up services, such as involving farmers in co-producing services and using scalable communication channels. The goal is to empower farmers with information to better adapt to climate risks and opportunities.Engendering agricultural research_wb_ifpri_ifad_bbl
The document discusses the importance of integrating gender considerations into agricultural research and development. It argues that addressing gender issues is necessary to improve agricultural productivity and food security, increase sustainability, reduce poverty, and achieve other development goals. It outlines how agricultural R&D could be made more gender-equitable by involving women in priority setting, research, extension and evaluation. It also suggests moving beyond a focus only on production technologies to consider women's roles and needs across the entire food system. Finally, it proposes establishing a platform to support strategic gender research, capacity building, and institutional strengthening to help achieve this vision.
Women and livestock: Why gender matters are big matters
This document discusses the importance of integrating gender considerations into livestock research. It notes that women play major roles in smallholder livestock systems but often face barriers to benefiting from their labor. Integrating gender can lead to higher incomes for women, improved family welfare, and stronger bargaining power for women. The document provides recommendations for how to conduct gender-sensitive research, including collecting sex-disaggregated data, using participatory methods, addressing women's priorities, and developing gender-sensitive indicators.
Sophie Theis: New approaches for Inclusive Irrigation
This document discusses new approaches and tools for achieving inclusive and gender-equal irrigation. It summarizes research from Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania, and Malawi on the different constraints and opportunities men and women face regarding irrigation. Two new tools are presented: a diagnostic tool to measure gender gaps in access to and control over irrigation benefits, and a learning tool to improve gender integration in irrigation planning. The tools involve sex-disaggregated focus groups to understand inequality in access to water, labor, decision-making, and control over income from irrigation. The goal is to ensure both men and women can benefit from expanded irrigation.

Women’s access to agriculture extension amidst COVID-19: Insights from India...International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
This document summarizes findings from phone surveys conducted in India and Nepal on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on women's access to agricultural extension services. Key findings include:
- Primary sources of agricultural information shifted from group meetings and government extension to traditional knowledge and neighbors/family during lockdowns.
- Over 25% in India and 29% in Nepal reported losing their regular source of agricultural information during lockdowns.
- In Nepal, over 50% felt the quality and frequency of information received was worse than before lockdowns.
- Farm productivity suffered in both countries due to limited information access, with India reporting impacts on staple/horticulture crops more than cash crops and remote districts facing more challengesCSA Supports Women's Productivity
There is a gender gap in agriculture as it relates to climate change. Women have lower levels of access to resources, inputs, technology and information which restricts their ability to implement climate adaptation practices. They are also largely neglected by agriculture and climate information service providers. Technologies and practices that can reduce women's workloads, such as solar irrigation managed through women's collectives in Nepal, are important for empowering women farmers to adapt to climate change. Moving forward, it is important to develop gender-transformative technologies that respond to women's knowledge and priorities in order to bring about transformations in agriculture and rural development that promote gender equality and climate resilience.

CSA Supports Women's Productivity
There is a gender gap in agriculture as it relates to climate change. Women have lower levels of access to resources, inputs, technology and information which restricts their ability to implement climate adaptation practices. They are also largely neglected by agriculture and climate information service providers. Technologies and practices that can reduce women's workloads, such as solar irrigation managed through women's collectives in Nepal, are important for empowering women farmers to adapt to climate change. Moving forward, it is important to develop gender-transformative technologies that respond to women's knowledge and priorities in order to bring about transformations in agriculture and rural development that promote gender equality and climate resilience.
Gender, Technology and the SDGs
Gender, Technology and the SDGsCCAFS | CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security
This document discusses gender equality and women's empowerment in the context of technology and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It outlines how gender mainstreaming and equity are important frameworks to ensure equal rights, opportunities, and decision-making power for women and men. It examines women's roles and access to resources in areas like agriculture, water, energy, and climate change mitigation and adaptation technologies. The document also reviews international agreements like CEDAW and Beijing Platform for Action that promote women's participation in science, technology, and decision-making. Overall, it emphasizes the need to consider gender perspectives and involve women at all levels to effectively achieve the SDGs through inclusive and sustainable development.Gender transformation in climate-smart agriculture: A framework for action

Gender Transformation in Climate-Smart Agriculture: A Framework for Action
Gender Transformation in Climate-Smart Agriculture: A Framework for ActionCCAFS | CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security
1. There is a gender gap in climate-smart agriculture as it relates to access to resources, information, and decision making. Women are often neglected by climate services and have less capacity to implement climate adaptation practices in agriculture.
2. More evidence is needed on gender differences in roles and impacts, and on participatory approaches, women's organizations, and indigenous knowledge related to climate-smart agriculture.
3. Institutions and services need to better meet women's needs, as they tend to interact more with informal networks while men have greater access to formal institutions. The role of information and how to serve women better requires more understanding.Catherine ragasa reaching women farmers with technology final july 14 2010
Women play a major role in agriculture in Africa, contributing 60-80% of food production, yet they face significant constraints in accessing resources like agricultural extension services, fertilizer, and credit. Targeting support to women farmers through approaches like increasing access to extension, improving fertilizer distribution methods, and strengthening land rights could increase agricultural productivity by 10-20% and have broader development benefits. For agricultural interventions to be effective for women, they need a holistic approach that is adapted to local gender roles and ensures women's meaningful participation and impact on incomes.

An overview of the research, activities, and technology which increase understanding of gender transformative climate-smart agriculture. gender jjhfgsrdfbjvgcghkgfcgvjhkjl;kjhgfdfghj
This document discusses strategies for gender mainstreaming and improving livelihoods through agricultural extension. It outlines several key extension strategies, including establishing a gender balanced extension system with more female extension workers; using mass media to disseminate information to women farmers; developing and demonstrating women-friendly technologies; providing credit and technical support to women's self-help groups; and capacity building for women through agricultural training programs. The document emphasizes the need to reorient extension and research systems to prioritize women farmers and organize women into farmer groups. Overall, the strategies aim to improve women's access to resources and empower them as farmers.
Bangkok | Mar-17 | Women and their role in Smart villages
Women play a key role in developing smart villages through entrepreneurship and providing sustainable solutions. They can help disseminate energy solutions through their community networks. Examples from countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Cambodia show how women are providing off-grid solar power and clean water, generating income and investing in their communities. For smart villages to be inclusive and sustainable, women need access to education, financing, mentors, and an enabling environment that supports their economic participation and challenges social norms. Meeting basic needs, empowering women with assets and opportunities, and transforming underlying power structures are all part of developing smart villages that leave no one behind.
Integrating a gender perspective in scaling technologies
This document summarizes a presentation about integrating a gender perspective when scaling agricultural technologies. It discusses why gender is important to consider, providing tips in 3 key areas: 1) Setting goals and objectives, 2) Planning activities and approaches, and 3) Targeting beneficiaries. The presentation aims to demonstrate how failure to account for gender differences can limit the reach and impact of technologies, and provides strategies for conducting gender assessments and ensuring gender balance during implementation and monitoring.
11 July 2012 Odisha CSISA SSD Gender Mainstreaming in CSISA Part 1
The document summarizes gender research accomplishments from the Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) Phase 1 project from 2007-2012. Some key accomplishments included developing a gender strategy, conducting studies on gender issues in rice farming systems in India and Bangladesh, and empowering women farmers through training. The research found that women make major labor contributions but have less access to education, land, and decision making. It also identified opportunities to promote gender equality through the CSISA project.
Integrating Gender In Agricultural Programs
The document discusses integrating gender into agricultural programs by addressing constraints women face in agriculture. It outlines why focusing on gender is important, then discusses constraints women face in accessing key assets like land, water, livestock, soil fertility, new technologies, extension services, labor, markets, and support services. It provides strategies to alleviate these constraints, like strengthening women's land rights, increasing female extension agents, introducing labor-saving technologies, and investing in market interventions to improve women's access and asset base. Case studies show promising examples of projects that have successfully addressed gender.

A recent review of literature and regional case studies with researchers from four regions identified the critical dimensions of gender in/ equality in climate-resilient agriculture. They are: (1) participation in decision-making at different levels, (2) work burden, (3) access to and use of productive resources such as agroclimatic information, technology, livelihood incomes, and credit, and (4) collective action. Models for action are presented that show how gender-responsive approaches can promote equality while increasing resilience for all.
Gender and social inclusion in CCAFS projects
Gender and social inclusion in CCAFS projectsCCAFS | CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security
This document discusses gender and social inclusion (GSI) in CCAFS projects. It addresses the CCAFS GSI strategy, which takes three main approaches: examining vulnerabilities, promoting gender transformation, and strengthening institutions. It identifies knowledge gaps around what works for empowering women in climate-smart agriculture. These include understanding gender roles in labor and benefits, the role of women's groups, and indigenous knowledge. The document also discusses integrating GSI in areas like climate information services, policy, finance, and working with youth. Overall, it aims to better understand how to promote social inclusion, particularly for women, in climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts.Meaza & flavia inclusive sam sp constraints and opportunities

The document summarizes key lessons from analyzing gender integration strategies and outcomes in projects funded by the Canadian International Food Security Research Fund (CIFSRF) between 2009-2018. It finds that projects taking targeted approaches to involve women tended to have narrow outcomes, while those addressing underlying gender barriers and women's empowerment had more impact. The relationship between strategies and outcomes is complex, as higher-level outcomes like empowerment involve mutually reinforcing changes over time. Ensuring gender is central to project design and using common metrics can strengthen integration and outcomes.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Closing the gender gap in farming under climate chnage
- 1. Sophia Huyer, Gender and Social Inclusion Leader Closing the gender gap in farming under climate change
- 2. Outline 1. The gender gap in six key agriculture-related resources (land, labor, credit, information, extension, and technology) 2. Technology for agriculture under climate change: Gender gaps and opportunities 3. Access to and use of climate information by women and men 4. Gender-transformative technologies for climate change: What do women need?
- 3. Gender differences: Access to resources UN Women, 2015
- 4. Technology: gender gaps and opportunities
- 5. Technology and Labor-productivity Constraints amongst Women Smallholders in Malawi, Murray et al 2016
- 6. • The majority of women smallholders are using very basic labor- intensive agricultural hand tools for onerous tasks, such as weeding, planting, harvesting, and food processing. • They have minimal access to alternative energy sources (i.e., draught animals or mechanized farm equipment), so they remain largely dependent on human labor for transport, cultivation, and agri-processing.
- 7. Gender differences: Access to information
- 8. Access to and use of climate information
- 9. Gender-transformative technology approaches : 1) Participatory technology development
- 10. Source: ProLinnova, 2008 2) Improving livelihoods and reducing emissions
- 11. 3) Training and capacity building of women farmers: Rice farming in Vietnam
- 12. 4) Working through women’s organizations: Solar-powered irrigation in Nepal • Managed by the local women’s committee • Crop production tripled • Labour load greatly reduced • Market production increased
- 13. Conclusions: Towards gender- transformative technologies for climate action • Design needs to be informed by needs assessments that distinguish women’s and men’s needs and priorities and access to resources • Have women been consulted in choice and implementation of technologies and practices, and are they involved in design? Are they appropriate to women’s interests, resources and demands? • Extension and climate information services need to serve both women and men • Women’s capacity as farmers and innovators needs to be recognized and supported • Access to energy and agricultural tools in rural areas can directly increase agricultural productivity for women smallholder farmers • Monitoring and assessment indicators need to measure gender and social change and benefits
