The transition to agroecology in Nicaragua: Transformation or reconfiguration...Katharina Schiller
This document summarizes research on the transition to agroecology in Nicaragua. The researcher conducted interviews and surveys from 2014-2017 to analyze whether agroecology will remain a niche practice or transform the dominant agricultural system. Results showed that while the government strongly supports agroecology through laws, the system remains dominated by conventional agriculture. Agroecology has grown but lacks input and output markets. The transition appears to be a reconfiguration that maintains the overall system rather than a full transformation.

More Crop Per Drop - Water Report on the Cotton IndustrySustainable Brands
Major brands that drive demand for cotton have an economic interest in reducing the industry's water use because it improves farms’ income and yields. To protect the cotton industry, brands need to get involved in supporting smallholder farmers in the developing world, where over 100 million smallholder farmers are responsible for 90 percent of the world's cotton production. Many of these smallholders reside in areas facing severe and worsening water stress such as India, Pakistan and China and lack the financial resources necessary to invest in water saving techniques and technologies.
This report offers a snapshot of the water challenge faced by the cotton industry, along with compelling case studies that demonstrate what can be achieved through basic interventions, such as training and education.
1) Brazilian agribusiness makes up 24% of GDP and employs 30% of the labor force, with family farms comprising 85% of the over 5 million farms.
2) It faces sustainability challenges including deforestation, biodiversity loss, and rural poverty. Efforts to address these include the Rural Environmental Registry to monitor compliance with the Forest Code and restrict illegal deforestation.
3) Organizations like ABIOVE promote sustainable soybean production and work with government and civil society on initiatives like the Amazon Soy Moratorium to reconcile food production with environmental protection.

Project Greenback is an initiative to expand affordable remittance services for migrants. It launched in Turin, Italy in 2013 and has since expanded to locations in Europe and plans to launch in Southeast Asia, North America, and Haiti in 2015. The project takes an inclusive approach, working with remittance senders, public authorities, market players, community organizations and academics. It uses various strategies like financial education, market monitoring, migrant-led activities and workshops to promote competition and transparency. Evaluation of the Turin project found users had become more dynamic over time in changing remittance channels and more informed about costs, and more migrants were opening bank accounts.
The document discusses Malaysia's money services business regulatory framework that supports the growth of remittance businesses. It notes that there are 33 non-bank remittance service providers that have over 2000 access points nationwide through branches and agents. Total outward remittances from Malaysia have been growing steadily under this regulatory regime, increasing at an average annual rate of 24.4% from 2011 to 2014. Promoting awareness of formal remittance channels and expanding financial inclusion among target groups like migrant workers and SMEs is an initiative proposed to further develop the remittance market.
This document discusses strategies for maximizing the impact of remittances and migration. It recommends strengthening remittance markets through promoting competition, using intermediaries like microfinance institutions and postal services, and innovative models like mobile payments. It also suggests promoting financial inclusion through distribution channels, financial literacy programs, and cross-selling financial products. Finally, it proposes promoting investment of remittances and migrant savings through identifying investment opportunities, developing productive investment models like funds and bonds, and supporting skill development and entrepreneurship.
The document discusses the work of FOMIN, a development organization that promotes financial inclusion in Latin America and the Caribbean. FOMIN works to pilot private sector solutions that empower low-income populations through equity investments, loans, and grants. It focuses on areas of finance, markets, and basic services. One of FOMIN's initiatives is a Remittances and Savings Program that funds 10 projects to promote the development of savings products targeted at remittance clients, with the goal of helping 40 million remittance recipients in the region access savings accounts. The program provides technical assistance and up to $500k per project for activities like product design, financial education, and testing new distribution channels for savings accounts.
David Khoudour presented at the 2015 Global Forum on Remittances and Development in Milan, Italy. He discussed how public policies can create an enabling environment for using remittances to finance development. Khoudour categorized public policies into migration policies, migration-related development policies, and non-migration sectoral development policies. Sectoral development policies in areas like financial services, agriculture, education, health, and social protection can influence remittance flows and investment by either complementing or substituting for remittances. Coordinating policies across sectors and better integrating migration into development strategies can improve how remittances support development.
The document shows statistics on international migration trends from 1990 to 2050. It includes data on the global number of international migrants from 1990 to 2013, the largest migration corridors in 2013, and the projected change in working age and youth populations from 2015 to 2050.
This document discusses leveraging migration, remittances, and diaspora for financing sustainable development. It notes that remittances total $440 billion globally, with $135 billion going to developing countries in Africa and Venezuela paying exorbitantly high costs of 8-12% and 20% for transfers within Africa. The document outlines monitoring remittance flows, expanding access to financial services for recipients, and developing capital market access for developing countries as areas that could help maximize development impact. It estimates that reducing costs, tapping diaspora savings and bonds, reducing migrant worker fees, and using future remittance flows as collateral could potentially mobilize over $100 billion for development.
The document analyzes data from the 2013 Survey on Overseas Filipinos conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority on the age groups and gender of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).

This document discusses leveraging remittances for post-conflict development in Somalia. It notes that security has increased and piracy/insurgency has declined, while the diaspora is returning with human and financial capital. However, Somalia still faces challenges like lack of access to credit, high electricity costs, weak institutions, and an unskilled workforce. Remittances make up 45% of Somalia's GDP and the estimated 1 million person Somali diaspora remits $1.3 billion annually. Most remittances support essential household expenses, though some funds small businesses and development projects. The organization Shuraako supports SME growth by facilitating over $2 million in diaspora investments in Somalia across sectors like
Sierra Leone has a population of 6.092 million people with a life expectancy of 46 years and GDP of $4.136 billion.

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:

4. FINDINGS A local association of organic producers of Andean grains was legalized: Mama Murucuna quinoa and amaranth organic producers of Cotacachi members of the association are at present 230 (50% women)
5. FINDINGS Concerning technologies an amaranth threshing machine ( trilladora ), a mill and other small technologies have been provided to producers’ groups in Cotacachi. Along with the introduction of the new technologies training courses have been organized and technical assistance offered (with equal gender participation). Before grain was separated by hand with flails, and was very laborious (20-25 lbs/day) and time consuming. The mechanization of this process (250-350 lbs/day) allows offering the products at a competitive cost on the local markets, creating the condition for a long-term economic sustainability.
6. FINDINGS Representatives of communities have organized and participated to 3 local Festival of Biodiversity , Culture and Andean cuisine,local Fair and Gastronomic Contests visited by around 8.000 tourists (30% international tourists) . An important result in terms of international networking is the signature of a Convivium agreement ratified between UNORCAC and Slow Food .
7. FINDINGS A cooperation agreement has been signed between Oxfam Italia and the Municipality of Cotacachi to join resources for the identification and implementation of a Sustainable Economic Development Plan for Cotacachi focused on identity . Local Municipality is fully involved to promote a strategy for “ production and consumption with identity ”. Is currently on going the definition of the Cotacachi Canton Sustainable Development Plan , in which, for the first time, amaranth and quinoa are among the twenty priority productions to be supported in consideration of the high potentialities.
