WHAT IS CONTRACT FARMING?
Contract farming can be defined as agricultural production carried out according to an agreement between a buyer and farmers which establishes conditions for the production and marketing of a farm product or products. Typically, the farmer agrees to provide agreed quantities of a specific agricultural products.
Theory and practice of contract farming
A central processing or exporting unit purchases the harvests of independent farmers.
Most commonly practiced by food processing companies.
Contract farming - Advantages and DisadvantagesManikandanS177
Contract farming can be defined as an agreement between farmers and contracting firms for the production and supply of agricultural products under advance agreements, frequently at predetermined prices.
Objectives & Agenda :
The Government formulated and released a progressive and facilitative Model Act on Contract farming in May, 2018 for its adoption by States and Union Territories. The act was framed to provide for improved production and marketing of agricultural produce, livestock and its product through holistic contract farming and to promote the farmers’ interest and facilitate the contracting parties to develop mutually beneficial and efficient contract farming system. In this webinar, we shall understand the salient features and provisions of the Model Act.
The presentation includes a brief discussion of contract farming in India. Levels of benefits acquired and problems faced by farmers are assessed and presented for better understanding of the status of contract farming.
International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in collaboration with the Ministry of Agricultural Development, Government of Nepal, and Institute for Integrated Development Studies (IIDS), and Federation of the Nepal Chambers of Commerce and Industries (FNCCI), organized a two day workshop on ‘Best Practices in Contract Farming: Challenges and Opportunities in Nepal’ on 10-11 February 2015 in Kathmandu, Nepal.
IFPRI is engaged in Policy Reform Initiative in Nepal with overall goal to reform agriculture sector for accelerating agricultural growth and enhancing farm incomes. In view of large number of smallholdings in Nepal, contract farming is envisaged as one of the strategies to increase their incomes by linking them with remunerative domestic and global markets. At present, contract farming in Nepal is at its infancy and needs to be popularized. This would require enabling polices and appropriate institutional arrangements. The main aim of the workshop is to learn lessons from the best practices in neighboring countries to address the multi-faceted challenges and opportunities in promoting and up scaling pro-smallholder contract farming in Nepal.
The "Contract Farming Resource Centre" has been established to offer a "one-stop" site, where information on contract farming is freely made available. Interest in contract farming as a mechanism to coordinate linkages between farmers and agribusiness firms has grown recently, in view of the international trends towards tighter alignment in agrifood supply chains. FAO has been responding to the growing demand for information and technical support on planning and implementing contract farming operations.

Almost every industry – from agriculture to retail – relies on chemicals for their production processes. Factors such as market volatility, regulatory pressures, geopolitical risk and shifting end-user demand require organizations to develop a deeper understanding of chemical market intelligence now more than ever.

Contract farming has the potential to improve the welfare of smallholders however it is not a sufficient condition for such improvement. Smaller farmers can be excluded from contracts because of selection bias by agribusiness firms awarding contracts to larger farms, be adversely affected by the second-round effects of contracts on incomes and prices and suffer from narrowing of markets that lie outside of contracts.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
