Elements of a strategy for gender-responsive researchCIFOR-ICRAF
Including considerations of gender in research takes conscious effort and should be part of a project’s workplan from the very beginning. In this presentation, CIFOR scientist Esther Mwangi walks through strategies for gender-responsive research, using the different components of CGIAR Research Programme 6 (Forests, Trees and Agroforestry) as an example. She gave this presentation on 8 March 2012 to help CRP6 Component 2 researchers discuss including gender in activities on the programme’s 2012 workplan. The presentation was part of the recent Component 2 planning meeting in Rome. For more information about CRP6, visit www.cifor.org/crp6/.
This document analyzes the potential for developing forest clusters in five Latin American countries based on the Nordic country model. It uses Porter's "diamond" model to examine the key factors that determine competitiveness for forest clusters, including firms, factor conditions, demand conditions, related/supporting industries, and the external business environment. The study aims to identify opportunities for forestry/forest industry development, define lessons from successful Nordic clusters, and formulate policy recommendations. An executive summary provides an overview of the objectives, analytical framework and highlights from cluster analyses of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico.

Strategic thinking Model for SEA (Aplikasi di Indonesia)praswaskita2
The document outlines a strategic thinking model for strategic environmental assessment (SEA). The model has three key components: 1) critical decision factors that are the focus of the assessment, 2) pathways for sustainability that assess risks and opportunities of strategic options, and 3) continuous dialogues between stakeholders throughout the decision-making process. The SEA process involves integrating environmental and social issues, assessing impacts, and validating the assessment. The methodology focuses assessment efforts on integration to make evaluation easier and validation a formality. It emphasizes identifying priorities, mapping critical decision factors, assessing strategic options, providing recommendations, and ensuring ongoing engagement.

SmartSOIL Aims to contribute to reversing the current degradation trend of European agricultural soils by improving soil carbon management in European arable and mixed farming systems covering intensive to low-input and organic farming systems.
Two overall aims:
To identify farming systems and agronomic practices that result in an optimized balance between crop productivity and soil carbon sequestration.
To develop and deliver a decision support tool (DST) and guidelines to support novel approaches to different European soils and categories of beneficiaries (farmers, farm advisory and extension services, and policy makers).
This presentation relates to the second of these aims
This document outlines strategies for linking knowledge with action to address climate change, agriculture, and food security issues. It discusses engaging stakeholders, improving communication, building capacity, addressing gender issues, and testing approaches through action research with partners. The goal is to enhance the salience, credibility and legitimacy of information produced to better inform decision-making. Examples provided span boundaries from local to national to regional and international levels through activities like vulnerability assessments, policy briefings, training programs, and knowledge sharing platforms.
This document provides a strategic assessment of the roles and responsibilities of urban foresters. It outlines various disciplinary focuses of urban forestry, including environmental planning, arboriculture, program administration, public relations, and risk management. It also shows how central each of these roles are to urban forestry. The assessment aims to define the work of urban foresters and provide a framework to help the profession grow in the future.
Securing tenure rights for forest-dependent communities: Overview of a global...CIFOR-ICRAF
This document summarizes a global comparative study on securing tenure rights for forest-dependent communities. It finds that between 2002 and 2013, there was an increase of at least 128.5 million hectares of land designated or owned by indigenous and local communities. However, growth has slowed since 2008, especially in lower- and middle-income countries. The study aims to understand how forest tenure reforms emerge and are implemented on the ground, identify their impacts, and factors constraining implementation. It will do this through research, stakeholder engagement, and knowledge sharing to enhance tenure security and sustainable forest management. The main focus countries are Uganda, Indonesia and Peru, with comparisons to DRC, Nepal and Ecuador.
The document provides an abstract book for the conference "Deutscher Tropentag 2003 - International Research on Food Security, Natural Resource Management and Rural Development" held in Göttingen, Germany from October 8-10, 2003. The conference focused on technological and institutional innovations for sustainable rural development, with sessions covering challenges and policy options, local production and resource use, innovations and their evaluation, land use and nature conservation, and impact assessment. Over 400 contributions were presented across these themes.
Climate change and forests: assessing local governanceCIFOR-ICRAF
The skills of anthropologists in local-level social analysis have great potential for contributing to the global discussion on climate change. Their skills and findings could be used toward reducing the risks related to REDD+, and working constructively with communities to adapt to the changes that cannot be prevented. CIFOR scientist Carol Colfer gave this presentation at the Society for Applied Anthropology’s annual meeting, in Seattle, Washington in April 2011. The aim was to interest anthropologists in addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation more actively.
Presentation given by Ann Tutwiler, Director General, Bioversity International, at the Svalbard Global Seed Vault Anniversary Event, February 2018.
This presentation outlines the results of a feasibility study for a Global Cryo-Collection of crops that cannot be conserved by seed. These include banana, cacao, cassava, coconut, coffee, potato and yams. These crops either don’t produce conventional seeds, like bananas, or because the seeds they do produce do not always resemble their parents, like potatoes and many other roots and tubers making it impossible to reproduce them.
Cryopreservation is safe and reliable and dependable. In cryopreservation, plants are stored in in liquid nitrogen at a temperature of -196 °C, a temperature so cold that it effectively stops all the living processes within the plant tissue, freezing it forever in time. Plants can then be regenerated from tiny stored samples and grown into whole plants.
This study was commissioned by Bioversity International, the International Potato Center (CIP) and the Global Crop Diversity Trust with financial support from Australia, Germany and Switzerland.

1) Current food systems are failing both human and planetary health as they underproduce fruits and vegetables, lead to poor diets as the number one global health risk, and put pressure on planetary boundaries.
2) Diversifying diets and agricultural production systems can simultaneously improve human health and sustainability by increasing consumption of underutilized but nutritious species.
3) Initiatives are working to mainstream millets and biodiversity in India and develop an Agrobiodiversity Index to incentivize policies and investments that integrate agrobiodiversity into food systems and build food/nutrition security and resilient agriculture.

The importance of farmers’ rights is recognized in Article 9 of the Plant Treaty.
In this presentation Vernooy shows how a community-based approach to the management of agricultural biodiversity, including supporting community seedbanks, can empower and benefit smallholder farmers and farming communities economically, environmentally and socially. This approach makes implementing farmers’ rights at national level both practical and effective contributing to food and seed security, sustainable livelihoods and resilience.

Presentation given at the session on 'Seeds of Resilience - Novel strategies for using crop diversity in climate change adaptation' at Tropentag 2016, September 21st, Vienna, by Bioversity International scientist Ronnie Vernooy.
Future impacts of climate change are expected to become more pronounced in many parts of the world, forcing farmers to change their practices and causing them to find crops and varieties better adapted to new weather dynamics. Providing farmers with better access to crop and varietal diversity can strengthen their capacity to adapt to climate change. Under supportive policy and socioeconomic conditions, such strengthened capacity could contribute to greater food availability throughout the year, the production of more nutritious and healthy crops, and income generation. This is easier said than done.
How do we design and implement a comprehensive strategy that will allow farmers to access and use plant genetic diversity more effectively in the context of climate change adaptation? This session responded to this question through an interactive introduction to the challenge of enabling farmers to use climate-adapted germplasm (led by Bioversity International), a practical example from the field to bring new diversity to farmers fields (a case study from Uganda), and a “this is how we support crop diversification for climate change adaptation” exchange among a number of experts from government (development cooperation), private sector and civil society.

Ann Tutwiler, Director General, Bioversity International gave this presentation at the Eighth Biodiversity Conference, Trondheim on 31st May 2016.
Current agricultural intensification practices are the biggest threat to sustainability and a major force behind breaching multiple planetary boundaries (Steffen et al., 2015). Agriculture contributes to between 19 and 29% of total GHG emissions (US EPA 2011, Vermeulen et al. 2012), uses of 69% of freshwater resources (AQUASTAT 2014), and 34% of the terrestrial, icefree surface of the planet accounting for 31% of wild biodiversity loss (Ramankutty et al. 2008). It is the primary driver for the substantial breach of the planetary boundary for phosphorous, and nitrogen (Carpenter and Bennett 2011, Steffen et al. 2015). The foods we produce from these systems struggle to nourish a growing global population where nearly 2 billion suffer from nutrient deficiencies, and another 2 billion suffer from obesity.
In as much as agricultural practices are important parts of the problem, they are likely to be our best bet for novel solutions addressing both human and environmental health. Increasing and improved use of agricultural biodiversity has the capacity provide both food and nutritional security, providing the ingredients of healthy, culturally sensitive, and enjoyable meals.
Mounting evidence suggests that producing food for diversified diets is often complementary with improving agriculture’s sustainability record. Agricultural biodiversity provides the core ecosystem services that underpin sustainable agricultural intensification: pollination, pest control, and sustainably stored and sourced soil nutrients. Finally, as the planet’s largest ecosystem, sustainable intensification of agricultural ecosystems has the capacity to provide multiple ecosystem services converting agriculture from a net source, to net sink of green house gases; reigning in planetary boundaries on phosphorus, nitrogen, and water; and creating a safe space for wild biodiversity .
Achieving agricultural biodiversity’s potential however, requires stronger support of the
research and development community, better articulation of biodiversity’s contribution to
multiple sustainable development goals, and improved indicators and indices that facilitate impact and progress both environmental and human well-being targets.

Ann Tutwiler, Director General, Bioversity International presentation on NOT finding the world's next superfood. This presentation was delivered at Kew Gardens on May 12th 2016 at the State of the World's Plants Symposium.
Abstract: In the last few years, superfoods such as quinoa, amaranth and goji berries have been celebrated in the international media in recognition of their rich nutrient content.
But it is not just Western consumers that can benefit from rediscovering these forgotten foods.
M. Ann Tutwiler, Director General, Bioversity International, will explain how many nutritious traditional foods, which have largely fallen off menus and research-for-development agendas in favour of a handful of staple grains, are starting to make a comeback on the plates of the world’s poorest and most malnourished populations.
Bioversity International carries out research on a diverse range of underutilized crops, and advocates for their wider use in healthy diets from sustainable food systems. This overview will include examples of how research-for-development efforts on quinoa in the High Andes and minor millets in India have helped bring diverse varieties back to the farm, the market and the plate. She will highlight how these crops are often not just nutrient-rich but also have a high potential to contribute to livelihoods. They are often also highly resilient to today’s production challenges, such as climate change.
In conclusion, M. Ann Tutwiler will outline the urgent need to identify, promote and protect these useful plants which all have the potential to be placed into a diverse basket of Super Foods when it comes to delivering food and nutrition security.
In light of the 'Soils and pulses: symbiosis for life – A contribution to the Agenda 2030' event that took place at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), Bioversity International's researcher Paola De Santis highlighted the importance of pulse diversity in managing pests and diseases in farmers' fields. Planting diverse pulse varieties can reduce the farm’s vulnerability to pests and diseases, and is a risk management strategy for unpredictability in rainfall and temperatures.

http://www.bioversityinternational.org/news/detail/new-guidelines-for-use-of-agricultural-biodiversity-in-climate-change-adaptation-planning/
This work is carried out in collaboration with the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS).
This document discusses the African Union's perspective on implementing the Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit-Sharing and the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. It provides background on the evolution of the AU from the OAU. It acknowledges gaps between the OAU Model Law and current international agreements. It also describes AU guidelines developed to help member states harmonize implementation of the NP and ITPGRFA. The guidelines recognize the different scopes and approaches of the two instruments, and encourage coordination between relevant national agencies to develop coherent national approaches.
The document summarizes a workshop on capacity building for the implementation of multilateral environmental agreements in Africa. It describes the objectives of strengthening countries' abilities to implement agreements and highlights achievements like improved negotiation skills. It also outlines challenges like low public awareness and limited political commitment. Recommendations include promoting common activities with initiatives on human resources, science and technology.

4. Gender in CRP6 (ICRW reflection)
The majority of CRPs are gender-neutral…. only five CRP
proposals integrated gender in original and effective ways.
• • CRP 1.3 (Harnessing the Development Potential of Aquatic
Agricultural Systems for the Poor and Vulnerable);
• • CRP 2 (Policies, Institutions and Markets to Strengthen Assets and
Agricultural Incomes for the Poor);
• • CRP 3.4 (Roots, Tubers and Bananas for Food Security and Income);
• • CRP 3.7 (More Meat, Milk and Fish by and for the Poor); and
• • CRP 6 (Forests and Trees: Livelihoods, Landscapes and
Governance).

of our discussions?
Incorporating gender concerns in our work in diverse ways:
• Different points of the project cycle/planning eg priority setting; in
methods/approaches—differentiation eg separate mens and womens groups;
assessing impacts; multi-disciplinary teams that include socio-economists;
balancing men and women in capacity building/training; situation analysis—identify
whom to speak with and different entry points to women and men; funding
programs for graduate research (CATIE, AWARD); team specialists trained in
gender; internal training for sensitization
• Gender not relevant to all questions but ensure sensitivity and awareness
• Addressing critical gender issues to achieve gender equity and empowerment
Proposals and budgets: screen proposals but also be sure to budget for gender
Information management/sharing:
• gender-friendly materials produced; storage of gender-specific data; GIS tools to
identify gender specific systems
Worries: imposition—people generally tired to work on the issue, resistance in
institutions; difficult to make changes because relations are deep seated and cultural;
migrants cant plant trees; we have not been doing good science with respect to gender
