Improving small farm access to modern inputs and financial services
Improving small farm access to modern inputs and financial servicesIFAD International Fund for Agricultural Development
The document discusses improving small farm access to modern agricultural inputs and financial services through facilitating demand rather than solely supply-side approaches. It argues for a paradigm shift towards enabling private sector involvement in input provision, rural finance, and technology transfer to small farmers. Specifically, it advocates paying higher farm-gate prices to stimulate input demand, engaging private companies in seed supply and distribution, lowering input costs through supply chain efficiencies, and reforming rural finance policies to better support smallholder agriculture through lower interest rates and guarantees. The document concludes governments should transition from direct service provision to creating an enabling environment that incentivizes private sector participation in input markets and technology transfer to small farmers.Enoch's project
This document presents a research proposal on the effects of organic and inorganic fertilizers on radish production. The study will be conducted at Valley View University's Techiman campus in Ghana. The researcher aims to evaluate the impact of different fertilizer regimes (organic, inorganic, and a mixture) on radish yield and cost. Two radish varieties will be grown under various treatment conditions in a split plot field design. Data on plant growth, flowering, yield, and costs will be collected and analyzed to determine which fertilizer application maximizes radish production. It is expected that a mixture of organic and inorganic fertilizers will yield the highest returns.

0420 SRI Trial – Organic Fertilizer Production Process & Ratooning
0420 SRI Trial – Organic Fertilizer Production Process & RatooningSRI-Rice, Dept. of Global Development, CALS, Cornell University
Organic fertilizer is produced at the farm of the Regional Irrigation Manager using poultry waste mixed with other biodegradable materials. The process involves preparation, drying, crushing, grading, and fermentation over 30 days before use. Organic fertilizer improves soil health by sustaining microorganisms and encouraging beneficial bacteria, increasing yields while maintaining soil fertility. Ratooning is allowed after harvest to produce a second generation of rice with minimal cost in around 45 days, yielding an additional 50 bags per hectare through re-growth from stalks cut 10cm above ground without seeds or land preparation.0844 System of Rice Intensification (SRI): A 'How to' Guide for Farmers

This document discusses the health benefits of organic foods compared to conventional foods. It notes that organic cows have more space and access to fresh air, while conventional cows are crowded and receive little fresh air. It also mentions that many pesticides used in conventional farming are carcinogenic and have been linked to health issues like headaches, anxiety and cancer. While organic foods cost more initially, the document argues that the health benefits of avoiding pesticides and unnatural additives will save money on doctor visits and medications in the long run. It provides some statistics on obesity in America and suggests that eating organic foods may help address this issue by promoting smaller portions and a healthier body weight.
What Is Organic Farming
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.

Expanding Access to FMs Act Final
This bill aims to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to require state electronic benefit transfer (EBT) contracts to treat wireless retailers the same as wired retailers. It defines various types of wireless retailers, including farmers markets, farm stands, green carts, and route vendors. It requires states to provide wireless EBT equipment to these retailers to enable immediate verification of benefits. It also allows states flexibility in procuring wireless EBT systems and using appropriate wireless technologies.
Expanding Access and FM Study
This document summarizes a study comparing the prices of common foods like produce, meat and eggs between farmers markets and supermarkets in 19 communities across 6 Southeastern states. The study found that in most communities, produce and organic produce were cheaper at farmers markets than supermarkets by an average of 22% and 16% respectively. Meats and eggs were generally more expensive at farmers markets, but by only 10% when comparing grass-fed options. When accounting for comparable products, farmers markets were cheaper than supermarkets in 74% of cases, on average by 12% lower cost.
Community Support Manual
Community support is essential for farmers market success. Building relationships with community partners such as businesses, government, schools, non-profits, and customers can strengthen the market. Partners can support markets by serving on boards, assisting with operations, fundraising, communications, and advocacy. Engaging the community, documenting the market's benefits, and having a clear mission statement are important for gaining and maintaining support.
2010 SNAP at FMs Fact Sheet
The number of farmers' markets and direct marketing farmers authorized to accept SNAP benefits increased 263% over the past five fiscal years, reaching over 2,400 locations in FY 2010. Redemptions of SNAP benefits at farmers' markets also increased 49% during this period. In FY 2010 there were over 453,000 purchases made with SNAP at farmers' markets totaling over $7.5 million. Nine states account for over half of all authorized farmers' market locations.
Combined Resources
Several states have implemented programs to support the use of SNAP benefits at farmers markets. Iowa funds machine rental fees and transaction fees for farmers markets starting in 2005. New York provided wireless machines to farmers in 2002, but sales were flat until a marketing program in 2005 increased sales significantly by 2010. Michigan is offering a dollar-for-dollar match up to $20 per day on SNAP and reward cards at farmers markets. Massachusetts grants fund wireless machines, transaction fees, and outreach programs to encourage SNAP use at farmers markets.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...
Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
