This document discusses molecular genetic diversity research on Ethiopian orphan crops. It provides criteria for identifying orphan crops and notes that Ethiopia is a center of origin and diversity for many crops. Case studies are presented on the molecular genetic diversity of several Ethiopian orphan crops, including ensete, grasspea, lentil, crested grass, white lupin, and yam. Research utilized markers like SSR and SNPs to analyze diversity. Studies found wide genetic diversity in the crops. The document concludes that further collection and integrated molecular, biochemical and morphological assays are needed to characterize diversity and identify traits for crop enhancement through biotechnology and plant breeding.

Harnessing markets for improved nutrition: A Case Study of ZombaIFPRIMaSSP
Hunger and undernutrition are intractable problems in Malawi. This study takes a Value Chains for Nutrition (VCN) approach, which examines the potential for harnessing markets for improved nutrition and food security. This case study from the Zomba District of southern Malawi applies data from household surveys, in-depth individual interviews, and market surveys to examine opportunities for improved diets through leveraging demand and supply of nutritious foods, and enhancing value chain performance with a nutrition lens. Preliminary results on bottlenecks and opportunities provide insights for policy and programs.
This presentation and discussion was led by Noora-Lisa Aberman (IFPRI) along with virtual input from co-authors, Aulo Gelli (IFPRI), Jason Donovan (ICRAF), and Amy Margolies (JHU), on February 13, 2017 at IFPRI-Malawi.

Innovative approach on common bean based technology generation and promotion ...Tropical Legumes III
Higher production of Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L), is constrained with several biotic and abiotic factors and the common bean research program in Ethiopia aims at contributing to the improvement of the livelihoods of smallholder farmers through generation and promotion of improved varieties which are demand driven, climate-smart, and tolerant to biotic and abiotic constraint.

Small-scale farming of Edible Insects & Potential Contributions to Community ...Thomas Weigel
This presentation was held at AIDF's Asia Food Security Summit 2014 in Jakarta. It takes a look at edible insect farming from a food and nutrition security perspective and Veterinarians without Borders' (VWB) work on insects in Laos.
Farming of edible insects has big potential to ease the double burden of poverty and malnutrition. In many countries people love insects, and farmed insects are an excellent source of valuable protein, fats, and micro-nutrients. Insect farming is easy to learn, requires minimal time and money, and provides food for families. Insect farming has also significant advantages over the collection of wild insects in terms of improved availability, accessibility, and utilization of insects.
Environmentally sustainable, insects have a much better feed conversion and produce significantly less greenhouse gases than conventional livestock. Moreover, the sales of insects and insect products can provide additional income for poor people.
VWB has launched 2 cricket farming projects in Central Laos, involving a total of 36 households in two provinces, working mostly with women household members.
VWB's action-research approach involves the support of farmers to improve family diets, income, and also value-added foods such as cricket noodles. VWB is also studying the impact of cricket farming on child and maternal nutrition.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

What is biotechnology?
Biotechnology consists of a gradient of technologies, ranging from
the long-established and widely used techniques of traditional
biotechnology (for example, food fermentation and biological
control) to novel techniques of modern biotechnology. This includes
the use of new techniques of recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology
(often called genetic engineering), monoclonal antibodies, and new
cell and tissue-culture methods
