This document provides guidance on writing success stories that demonstrate the impact of extension programs. It emphasizes the importance of clearly conveying relevance, outcomes and public value. Outcomes should be described using active verbs to show measurable changes, like increased profits or improved efficiency. Public value statements explain how extension programs contribute to broader conditions by disseminating information or stimulating the local economy. The document also cautions against using descriptive verbs only for outputs, and provides examples of stronger statements that indicate specific condition changes and benefits to the public.

Malaria poses a major public health challenge in Africa, infecting 174 million people annually and killing 596,000. [1] It hinders socioeconomic development, but increased investment in malaria control between 2001-2011 yielded $73-91 billion in economic returns, far outweighing the $5.4 billion invested. [2] While aid for malaria has increased over the last decade, domestic funding is growing too slowly. [3] Sustainable domestic financing will require 1) increasing health budgets, 2) innovative funding mechanisms, 3) evidence for decision making, and 4) cross-sectoral integration for efficiency. [4] The Roll Back Malaria Partnership advocates for these approaches and supports countries by sharing lessons

Press Release: Momentum for Change 2016

Nisha Onta

The W+ Standard was developed by WOCAN to measure women's empowerment in sustainability and climate change projects. It was awarded a prestigious UN climate change award, recognizing its ability to accelerate investments that empower women while addressing climate change. The standard has been applied successfully in projects from Kenya to Nepal. It measures empowerment in six domains and generates women-benefit units that are purchased, with revenues shared among women beneficiaries. For example, a W+ Standard project in Nepal equipped rural women with biogas stoves, saving them over two hours of fuelwood collection per day and empowering them with new opportunities.

The W+ Standard is a unique certification label developed by WOCAN that endorses projects that create increased social and economic benefits for women participating in economic development or environment projects, including those that provide renewable energy technologies, time and labor saving devices, forest and agriculture activities, and employment opportunities. The W+ is thus an innovative framework to quantify and monetize the social capital created by women, to recognize and reward their contributions to sustainable environments and communities. The W+ measures women’s empowerment in six domains: Time, Income & Assets, Health, Leadership, Education & Knowledge and Food Security. It produces quantified women-benefit units that contribute towards post 2015 Sustainability Goals (SDGs), Climate Financing or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) targets. www.wplus.org

What Is Organic Farming

Profarms Consultants®™

Organic farming is a system of agriculture that uses natural and biodegradable inputs while avoiding synthetic fertilizers. The main principles of organic farming are health for the soil, plants, animals, humans and the planet; ecology in agriculture based on living ecological systems and cycles; and fairness and care for the common environment and life opportunities. Organic farming helps conserve the environment by using inputs that don't leave toxic residues, promoting biodiversity, and encouraging recycling of biodegradable materials.

Organic Agriculture

CCFIpolicyaffairs

This document summarizes key facts about organic agriculture that are often unknown or misunderstood. It finds that the global area of organic farmland makes up less than 1% of total agricultural land. Additionally, two-thirds of organic agricultural land is used for livestock grazing rather than direct food production. India's organic sector is also examined, finding that 90% of India's reported organic area is actually forest land, not agricultural land. The document casts doubt on statistics reported for India's organic production and area, finding wide fluctuations that indicate potential data fraud. It concludes that adoption of organic agriculture has lagged far behind GM crops globally.

History of Organic Agriculture

jbgruver

1. Sir Albert Howard is considered the father of organic agriculture, drawing on his research experience in India to promote concepts of composting, soil fertility, and the relationships between farming practices and health. 2. In his 1943 book An Agricultural Testament, Howard described nature's agriculture as a model, emphasizing mixed farming, soil protection, and the recycling of organic wastes via composting. 3. Howard was critical of the increasing specialization in conventional agriculture and promotion of inorganic fertilizers. He saw the importance of soil biology and organic matter for soil and overall health.

BRC global standard for food safety short training guide

Naizil Kareem

The document discusses the requirements for meeting the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety. It covers topics such as management commitment, HACCP systems, prerequisite programs, quality management systems, food safety plans, and purchasing procedures. The main points are that organizations must implement a comprehensive food safety system based on HACCP principles, have documented food safety and quality policies, audit and approve suppliers, and review all food safety plans and procedures annually or when changes occur. Senior management must also demonstrate commitment through reviews and resource allocation.

ISO 9001: 2008 QMS Awareness PPT

knp_slidess

The document provides information about ISO and ISO standards. It discusses: - ISO is an independent international organization that develops voluntary standards to ensure products/services are safe and of good quality. - ISO 9001 provides requirements for a quality management system to ensure customer satisfaction. ISO 14001 provides requirements for an environmental management system. - Certification to the standards by an independent body verifies an organization's management system meets the standard's requirements but certification is not required to implement the standards.

Much of the evidence surrounding the use (and re-use) of OER is fragmentary or anecdotal. The OLnet project has developed a software tool for effectively gathering, sharing and judging the evidence around key issues of OER. The Evidence Hub distills key insights from the cloud of discussion and opinion creating a thematically indexed, structured ecosystem of organisations, project, issues, recommendations and evidence for the use of those who form the Open Education movement. In this presentation we explain the key concepts behind the Evidence Hub and some of its possible uses.

Carole Goble

Ever spotted some great looking software only to discover you can’t get it, it doesn’t work, there is no documentation to help fix it and the developers don’t have the time or incentive to help? Ever produced some software that you want to be widely used or have folks contribute? What’s the sustainability of that key platform/library/tool /database your lab uses day in and day out? Are you helping the providers? The same issues stand for Data (or as we now say “FAIR” Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable Data) and its metadata. Is anyone looking out for Europe’s data services– the datasets and analysis systems you use and you make – the standards they use and the curators and developers who make them? Or is FAIR just a FAIRy story? I’ll tell how two organisations with quite different structures and approaches - the UK’s Software Sustainability Institute and the ELIXIR European Research Infrastructure for Life Science Data – are working for the common goal of better software, better service, and better research. https://www.rothamsted.ac.uk/events/14th-international-symposium-integrative-bioinformatics
