Pastoralists in East Africa make up a large portion of the population and economy but face high risks from drought and climate change that keep them in poverty. Index-based livestock insurance (IBLI) programs aim to increase resilience by protecting pastoralist livelihoods from drought losses. Research on IBLI programs in Kenya found they enabled pastoralists to spend on needs they otherwise could not during drought periods, showing the potential for such insurance to reduce vulnerability to climate risks.

Pastoralists: economic benefits with high risk
• Up to 1/5 of IGAD population are (agro) pastoralists
• Produce from 30 to 80% of agricultural GDP
• Pastoralists belong to poorest segment of IGAD populations
• Low resilience and high exposure to droughts = poverty trap
• Conflict and climate risk exacerbate each other

This document outlines the FAO-KSA Cooperation Programme which aims to support small-scale agriculture in Saudi Arabia through several projects and pillars. It includes 16 ongoing projects grouped into sub-programs to address specific agricultural issues. The program takes a collaborative approach between multiple projects to strengthen institutions and inform policy. It establishes extension centers to test and adopt innovative technologies with small producers, cooperatives, and women's associations. The overall goals are sustainable improvements to productivity and empowering smallholders through enabling environments and rural development support.

Livestock and global change: Towards a sustainable and equitable livestock se...

ILRI

This document discusses balancing trade-offs in the livestock sector between food production, efficiency, livelihoods, and the environment. It notes that livestock occupy a large amount of global land and water resources and account for a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions. However, livestock also provide important economic and nutritional benefits globally. Going forward, more sustainable and equitable livestock systems will be needed to meet increasing demand for livestock products while minimizing environmental impacts. Intensification of production could allow for higher output with fewer animals and less land expansion, but trade-offs would need to be carefully considered.

ILRI

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) infects millions of sheep and goats each year, robbing families who depend on small ruminants of their livelihoods. PPR causes global annual losses estimated at up to $2.1 billion. Vaccination is a viable solution to eradicate PPR by 2030 according to the FAO global strategy. Eradicating PPR through effective and inexpensive vaccines that provide lifetime immunity would contribute to food security, poverty reduction, and achieving sustainable development goals for millions of poor farmers.

Ruminants and the environment

FAO

This document discusses index-based livestock insurance (IBLI) as a tool to help pastoralists in sub-Saharan Africa manage risks from drought. It notes that over 50 million pastoralists depend on livestock for their livelihoods but face major losses from drought. IBLI uses satellite data on vegetation levels rather than individual livestock losses to trigger payouts when forage is low. The document outlines the development and testing of IBLI contracts in Kenya and Ethiopia, challenges in scaling up adoption, and factors influencing uptake like price, contract design, and household characteristics.

Animal health and animal welfare (focus on One Health)

ILRI

This document discusses the need for a One Health approach to address pandemics and zoonotic diseases at their human-animal-environment interface. It outlines seven major drivers of zoonotic disease emergence, including increased demand for animal protein and unsustainable agricultural intensification. At least one billion people are impacted by endemic livestock diseases each year. A One Health approach is necessary to prepare for, detect, prevent, and respond to pandemics and endemics through coordinated action and investment in health systems from the local to global levels. Science also has an important role to play in understanding disease transmission and developing universal vaccines.

Better lives through livestock

ILRI

Jimmy Smith, Director General of ILRI, outlines the importance of livestock to developing economies and proposes ways to double livestock production through better feeds. Livestock represents five of the six most valuable global commodities and production is increasing faster in developing countries. Livestock plays a key role in livelihoods, nutrition, health and ecosystems. The CGIAR could harness new science on feeds, genetics, and management to boost productivity and sustainability, improving food security and reducing poverty and emissions.

Sustainable and inclusive transformation of animal food systems

ILRI

This document discusses the sustainable and inclusive transformation of animal food systems. It outlines both the opportunities and challenges of livestock, including meeting growing demand, supporting economic growth, and addressing development needs, while also mitigating environmental harms. The document proposes a framework to facilitate partnerships and coordinate efforts to deliver tailored livestock solutions at scale. This would involve harnessing CGIAR research, ensuring translation into impacts, accounting for diversity, and enabling functions like communications. The goal is to transform animal health, empower women, build capacity, and create appropriate portfolios to double productivity and incomes from livestock.

Transforming the global food systems: Challenges and opportunities

ILRI

This document summarizes a presentation given by Jimmy Smith, Director General of the International Livestock Research Institute, on challenges and opportunities in transforming global food systems. It discusses four key areas: food and nutrition security, livelihoods and economic growth, human health, and environmental health. For each area, it outlines challenges such as malnutrition, lack of access to nutritious animal-source foods, threats from zoonotic diseases, and greenhouse gas emissions from livestock. It also proposes opportunities through livestock research, such as increasing productivity to boost food and income, improving food safety, controlling diseases at the animal source to prevent pandemics, and making livestock production more environmentally sustainable.

ILRI

Animal biotechnology can help achieve development goals in Africa by increasing livestock productivity, improving animal health and resilience, and reducing environmental impacts. Key applications include developing disease-resistant animals, improving feed digestibility and reproduction, and selecting animals that produce less methane. Strengthening partnerships, regulatory systems, and Africa's own innovation capacities will be important to facilitate use of animal biotechnology for sustainable development.

ILRI

This document discusses opportunities for public-private investment in animal health in developing countries. It finds that demand for livestock products is growing significantly in developing countries, where smallholder producers will continue to supply the majority of production. Animal health constraints remain a major problem, but as smallholder systems commercialize, their need and demand for animal health inputs will increase. There are opportunities for synergistic public-private investments in animal health that can benefit both smallholder producers and the private sector.

ILRI

The document discusses opportunities and challenges in the livestock sector in developing countries. Demand for meat, milk, and eggs is growing rapidly due to population growth, urbanization, and rising incomes. However, the livestock sector receives less than 1% of development funding despite contributing at least 40% of agricultural GDP. Livestock research can help strengthen livelihoods, mitigate environmental impacts, and ensure a sustainable supply of nutritious animal-source foods. Solutions are needed to improve animal health and production efficiency while addressing climate change and environmental issues in a fact-based manner.

The Food Safety Working Group (FSWG) in Vietnam was created in 2015 at the request of the Deputy Prime Minister to address food safety issues in the country. It brings together government agencies, ministries, and development partners to facilitate joint policy dialogue and improve food safety. Over eight years of operations led by different organizations, the FSWG has contributed to various initiatives. However, it faces challenges of diminished government participation over time and dependence on active members. Going forward, it will strengthen its operations by integrating under Vietnam's One Health Partnership framework to better engage stakeholders and achieve policy impacts.

SDSS1335+0728: The awakening of a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole⋆

Sérgio Sacani

Context. The early-type galaxy SDSS J133519.91+072807.4 (hereafter SDSS1335+0728), which had exhibited no prior optical variations during the preceding two decades, began showing significant nuclear variability in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) alert stream from December 2019 (as ZTF19acnskyy). This variability behaviour, coupled with the host-galaxy properties, suggests that SDSS1335+0728 hosts a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole (BH) that is currently in the process of ‘turning on’. Aims. We present a multi-wavelength photometric analysis and spectroscopic follow-up performed with the aim of better understanding the origin of the nuclear variations detected in SDSS1335+0728. Methods. We used archival photometry (from WISE, 2MASS, SDSS, GALEX, eROSITA) and spectroscopic data (from SDSS and LAMOST) to study the state of SDSS1335+0728 prior to December 2019, and new observations from Swift, SOAR/Goodman, VLT/X-shooter, and Keck/LRIS taken after its turn-on to characterise its current state. We analysed the variability of SDSS1335+0728 in the X-ray/UV/optical/mid-infrared range, modelled its spectral energy distribution prior to and after December 2019, and studied the evolution of its UV/optical spectra. Results. From our multi-wavelength photometric analysis, we find that: (a) since 2021, the UV flux (from Swift/UVOT observations) is four times brighter than the flux reported by GALEX in 2004; (b) since June 2022, the mid-infrared flux has risen more than two times, and the W1−W2 WISE colour has become redder; and (c) since February 2024, the source has begun showing X-ray emission. From our spectroscopic follow-up, we see that (i) the narrow emission line ratios are now consistent with a more energetic ionising continuum; (ii) broad emission lines are not detected; and (iii) the [OIII] line increased its flux ∼ 3.6 years after the first ZTF alert, which implies a relatively compact narrow-line-emitting region. Conclusions. We conclude that the variations observed in SDSS1335+0728 could be either explained by a ∼ 106M⊙ AGN that is just turning on or by an exotic tidal disruption event (TDE). If the former is true, SDSS1335+0728 is one of the strongest cases of an AGNobserved in the process of activating. If the latter were found to be the case, it would correspond to the longest and faintest TDE ever observed (or another class of still unknown nuclear transient). Future observations of SDSS1335+0728 are crucial to further understand its behaviour. Key words. galaxies: active– accretion, accretion discs– galaxies: individual: SDSS J133519.91+072807.4

Candidate young stellar objects in the S-cluster: Kinematic analysis of a sub...

Sérgio Sacani

Context. The observation of several L-band emission sources in the S cluster has led to a rich discussion of their nature. However, a definitive answer to the classification of the dusty objects requires an explanation for the detection of compact Doppler-shifted Brγ emission. The ionized hydrogen in combination with the observation of mid-infrared L-band continuum emission suggests that most of these sources are embedded in a dusty envelope. These embedded sources are part of the S-cluster, and their relationship to the S-stars is still under debate. To date, the question of the origin of these two populations has been vague, although all explanations favor migration processes for the individual cluster members. Aims. This work revisits the S-cluster and its dusty members orbiting the supermassive black hole SgrA* on bound Keplerian orbits from a kinematic perspective. The aim is to explore the Keplerian parameters for patterns that might imply a nonrandom distribution of the sample. Additionally, various analytical aspects are considered to address the nature of the dusty sources. Methods. Based on the photometric analysis, we estimated the individual H−K and K−L colors for the source sample and compared the results to known cluster members. The classification revealed a noticeable contrast between the S-stars and the dusty sources. To fit the flux-density distribution, we utilized the radiative transfer code HYPERION and implemented a young stellar object Class I model. We obtained the position angle from the Keplerian fit results; additionally, we analyzed the distribution of the inclinations and the longitudes of the ascending node. Results. The colors of the dusty sources suggest a stellar nature consistent with the spectral energy distribution in the near and midinfrared domains. Furthermore, the evaporation timescales of dusty and gaseous clumps in the vicinity of SgrA* are much shorter ( 2yr) than the epochs covered by the observations (≈15yr). In addition to the strong evidence for the stellar classification of the D-sources, we also find a clear disk-like pattern following the arrangements of S-stars proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we find a global intrinsic inclination for all dusty sources of 60 ± 20◦, implying a common formation process. Conclusions. The pattern of the dusty sources manifested in the distribution of the position angles, inclinations, and longitudes of the ascending node strongly suggests two different scenarios: the main-sequence stars and the dusty stellar S-cluster sources share a common formation history or migrated with a similar formation channel in the vicinity of SgrA*. Alternatively, the gravitational influence of SgrA* in combination with a massive perturber, such as a putative intermediate mass black hole in the IRS 13 cluster, forces the dusty objects and S-stars to follow a particular orbital arrangement. Key words. stars: black holes– stars: formation– Galaxy: center– galaxies: star formation

JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDS

Sérgio Sacani

The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark Universe

Sérgio Sacani

Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selection

Carl Bergstrom

This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome. It's based on the first part of this research paper: The cost of information acquisition by natural selection Ryan Seamus McGee, Olivia Kosterlitz, Artem Kaznatcheev, Benjamin Kerr, Carl T.

Sérgio Sacani

Magmatic iron-meteorite parent bodies are the earliest planetesimals in the Solar System,and they preserve information about conditions and planet-forming processes in thesolar nebula. In this study, we include comprehensive elemental compositions andfractional-crystallization modeling for iron meteorites from the cores of five differenti-ated asteroids from the inner Solar System. Together with previous results of metalliccores from the outer Solar System, we conclude that asteroidal cores from the outerSolar System have smaller sizes, elevated siderophile-element abundances, and simplercrystallization processes than those from the inner Solar System. These differences arerelated to the formation locations of the parent asteroids because the solar protoplane-tary disk varied in redox conditions, elemental distributions, and dynamics at differentheliocentric distances. Using highly siderophile-element data from iron meteorites, wereconstruct the distribution of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) across theprotoplanetary disk within the first million years of Solar-System history. CAIs, the firstsolids to condense in the Solar System, formed close to the Sun. They were, however,concentrated within the outer disk and depleted within the inner disk. Future modelsof the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk should account for this dis-tribution pattern of CAIs.

Embracing Deep Variability For Reproducibility and Replicability

University of Rennes, INSA Rennes, Inria/IRISA, CNRS

Embracing Deep Variability For Reproducibility and Replicability Abstract: Reproducibility (aka determinism in some cases) constitutes a fundamental aspect in various fields of computer science, such as floating-point computations in numerical analysis and simulation, concurrency models in parallelism, reproducible builds for third parties integration and packaging, and containerization for execution environments. These concepts, while pervasive across diverse concerns, often exhibit intricate inter-dependencies, making it challenging to achieve a comprehensive understanding. In this short and vision paper we delve into the application of software engineering techniques, specifically variability management, to systematically identify and explicit points of variability that may give rise to reproducibility issues (eg language, libraries, compiler, virtual machine, OS, environment variables, etc). The primary objectives are: i) gaining insights into the variability layers and their possible interactions, ii) capturing and documenting configurations for the sake of reproducibility, and iii) exploring diverse configurations to replicate, and hence validate and ensure the robustness of results. By adopting these methodologies, we aim to address the complexities associated with reproducibility and replicability in modern software systems and environments, facilitating a more comprehensive and nuanced perspective on these critical aspects. https://hal.science/hal-04582287

Sérgio Sacani

Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.

5. THANK YOU

Editor's Notes

Developed after a decade of empirical research to understand how recurrent climate risk affected pastoralist livestock assets
In order to go to scale need to link well-designed micro products with macro level support. Also need many more opportunities to crowd in investments with markets, more information about risk, inputs; improved financial information and targeting, etc… Need more evidence to convince governments and investors.
