This document discusses the importance of land and soil management for water conservation and agriculture. It notes that the river catchment supports 5.5 million people but dam capacity is only 800 million cubic meters. Better soil conservation stores more water, while commercial forestry and invasive trees reduce stream flow substantially. Farmers currently use 58 million cubic meters of irrigation water annually. The document emphasizes that soil is a non-renewable resource, and even small amounts of soil loss equate to large amounts of lost nutrients, organic matter and water holding capacity. It promotes regenerative agricultural practices like cover crops, fallows, organic fertilizers and real-time water monitoring to improve soil health and water conservation.
This document lists and relates various international organizations, standards bodies, policies, and initiatives related to sustainable biofuels. It includes European Union directives, national policies from countries like the UK, Germany, Brazil, and the US, as well as international organizations such as the IEA, FAO, UNEP, ISO, and initiatives like the Global Bioenergy Partnership and the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels. It also mentions various private certification schemes and standards, as well as public-private partnerships and policies aimed at low carbon fuels.

DCM Shriram is an Indian conglomerate with a turnover of approximately 1.24 billion USD. It operates sugar mills and has undertaken a sustainability program for sugarcane farmers since 2008. The program involves training farmers, improving soil health, water management, mechanization, and digital inclusion. It covers over 250,000 farmers cultivating 177,000 hectares. Key impacts include a 20-25% increase in productivity, creation of self-help groups, and saving 735 billion liters of water over 6 years. Challenges include small landholdings and water availability issues, which the program addresses through demonstrations and good practices. The program has received several awards and certifications like Bonsucro for 5000
This document outlines a project launch to take climate action in the sugarcane sector by aligning with science. It proposes an 8-point climate action roadmap from Bonsucro including GHG performance targets, increasing certification and standards, capacity building, impact projects, digitization, and convening stakeholders. Support is requested to implement the roadmap.
The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.
Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.

(Q)SAR Assessment Framework: Guidance for Assessing (Q)SAR Models and Predict...hannahthabet
The webinar provided an overview of the new OECD (Q)SAR Assessment Framework for evaluating the scientific validity of (Q)SAR models, predictions, and results from multiple predictions. The QAF provides assessment elements for existing principles for evaluating models, as well as new principles for evaluating predictions and results. In addition to the principles, assessment elements, and guidance for evaluating each element, the QAF includes a checklist for reporting assessments.
This new Framework provides regulators with a consistent and transparent approach for reviewing the use of (Q)SAR predictions in a regulatory context and increases the confidence to accept alternative methods for evaluating chemical hazards. The OECD worked closely together with the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Italy) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), supported by a variety of international experts to develop a checklist of criteria and guidance for evaluating each criterion. The aim of the QAF is to help establish confidence in the use of (Q)SARs in evaluating chemical safety, and was designed to be applicable irrespective of the modelling technique used to build the model, the predicted endpoint, and the intended regulatory purpose.
The webinar provided an overview of the project and presented the main aspects of the framework for assessing models and results based on individual or multiple predictions.

Two paths were needed: Promoting sustainability in agriculture and creating value
and recognition for these sustainable practices. With these two paths, the process
would become a self-encouraging cycle.

Reducing production costs – Green
Rural Credit
Increasing revenue –
Bonsucro credits
To promote recognition and value generation, two strategies could be adopted: reducing production costs and
increasing revenues.
The Green Rural Credit made it possible to
reduce sugarcane production costs, by reducing
the costs of raising financial resources
The trading of Bonsucro Sugarcane Credits
allowed certified producers to increase revenue
