Livestock headwinds:Help or hindrance to sustainable development?ILRI
Livestock production is growing rapidly globally to meet rising demand for meat, milk and eggs in lower income countries. Livestock contributes to all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals through pathways of food/nutrition, livelihoods/economics, health and climate/resources. Livestock research can help maximize these contributions by improving productivity, efficiency and development outcomes in a sustainable manner.
Livestock farming in developing countries: An essential resourceILRI
This document discusses livestock farming in developing countries. It notes that over 600 million of the world's poor depend on livestock, with about 95% living in extreme poverty. Livestock provide essential resources like protein, micronutrients, and income. Demand for livestock is increasing in developing countries, with the poor willing to pay more for quality and safety attributes. Knowledge generation and use can help derive more value from livestock, through market-driven innovation, improved productivity, and better human health and nutrition outcomes. Knowledge is seen as key to helping the poor achieve better lives through livestock.

In the present review, an attempt has been made to briefly sheep and goat management practices, marketing systems, constraints and opportunities in the country to deliver summarized and synthesized information for the beneficiaries, users and help the researchers to develop well-organized strategies to improve their productivity in Ethiopia. Sheep and goats are an integral part of livestock keeping in Sub-Saharan Africa that are mainly kept for immediate cash sources, milk, meat, wool, manure and saving or risk distribution. There are about 31.3 million sheep and 32.74 million heads of goats in the country, playing an important role in the livelihood of resource-poor farmers.
Sheep and goat productions are highly affected by feed shortage, disease and parasites, water shortage, management, high predatory, and market instability. There are opportunities to increase their production like population growth, increasing urbanization, rising incomes, the domestic demand for meat, the establishment of different agro-industrial parks, several development partners involved in higher learning; research and development are currently dedicated to sheep and goat development. Depending on this review it is imperative to practice modern production systems with better technology in urban and rural areas to improve the traditional system through feed supplementation and better health care.

Web Based Cattle Farm Management System ReportAL-Khalil
This document provides background information on cattle farming and discusses the need for a cattle farm management system (CFMS). Cattle are an important source of livelihood worldwide, providing meat, dairy and other products. However, population growth is increasing demand for these products. Many new farmers lack experience in cattle management, and a standardized CFMS could help by keeping records of daily operations to guide new farmers and improve productivity and profits. The document examines challenges in cattle farming and the potential benefits of implementing an electronic CFMS.
Livestock are domesticated animals raised for useful purposes like meat, milk, eggs, fur, leather, and wool. Common livestock include cattle, sheep, goats, horses, pigs, and poultry. Historically, livestock were raised through extensive grazing systems but today intensive farming is more common. Livestock face threats from disease, parasites, and predators that can impact health and productivity. Their transportation and marketing are also important aspects of the livestock industry.

Livestock and vegetable researchers are natural partners to help improve livelihoods and nutrition for the world's poor. Livestock provide manure to fertilize vegetable crops on mixed smallholder farms, while vegetable residues can be used as animal feed. Even small amounts of animal source foods and vegetables in diets help nourish people relying mainly on starchy staples. Research is needed on integrated livestock and vegetable production systems, food safety, and developing markets to ensure the poor benefit.
Ensuring livestock livelihoods and animal source food securityILRI
The document discusses trends in the global livestock sector and the role of smallholder producers in developing countries. It makes three key points:
1) Demand for animal-source foods will continue rising significantly in developing countries, where most production already occurs among smallholder farmers who both produce and consume locally.
2) Smallholder livestock systems present opportunities to address technical constraints around health, feed, genetics, and markets to boost production in a sustainable way that benefits livelihoods.
3) Coordinated efforts to improve smallholder and commercial systems can expand the supply of animal-source foods while transforming rural development.
This document summarizes information from ILRI (International Livestock Research Institute) about the role and importance of livestock globally. It makes three key points:
1. Livestock and animal source foods represent some of the most valuable global commodities, with an average annual value of $830 billion from 2007-2016. Demand for livestock products is projected to grow substantially in developing regions by 2030.
2. Livestock play a critical role in economies, livelihoods, and food security around the world. They contribute significantly to agricultural GDP and provide jobs and incomes. Over 70% of the world's rural poor rely on livestock.
3. While livestock bring opportunities, there are also challenges to be addressed

The document discusses trends and trajectories in global animal agriculture between now and 2050. Three key points:
1) Demand and production of livestock products are rapidly increasing in developing countries, especially in places like China, India, and Africa. This is driven by population growth, rising incomes, and urbanization.
2) Smallholder mixed crop-livestock systems will experience some of the greatest changes and opportunities. These diverse systems in places like Africa and South Asia offer opportunities to close yield gaps and reduce disease and emissions.
3) Plausible future scenarios depend on uncertain variables like climate change, technology, and disease outbreaks. This could lead to scenarios like sustainable intensification or climate-related crises
Livestock, livelihoods and the future of India’s smallholder farmersILRI
Smallholder farmers in India produce much of the country's livestock and dairy, contributing significantly to agricultural GDP and livelihoods. Rising global and domestic demand for livestock products presents opportunities but also risks. If met through imports or industrialization, it could harm the Indian economy, environment, and many livelihoods. However, transforming smallholder livestock systems sustainably could help millions improve production and livelihoods, maintaining India's economic growth. The conference aimed to discuss actions supporting smallholders to meet future demand for animal-source foods in an equitable and sustainable manner.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

AppSec PNW: Android and iOS Application Security with MobSFAjin Abraham
Mobile Security Framework - MobSF is a free and open source automated mobile application security testing environment designed to help security engineers, researchers, developers, and penetration testers to identify security vulnerabilities, malicious behaviours and privacy concerns in mobile applications using static and dynamic analysis. It supports all the popular mobile application binaries and source code formats built for Android and iOS devices. In addition to automated security assessment, it also offers an interactive testing environment to build and execute scenario based test/fuzz cases against the application.
This talk covers:
Using MobSF for static analysis of mobile applications.
Interactive dynamic security assessment of Android and iOS applications.
Solving Mobile app CTF challenges.
Reverse engineering and runtime analysis of Mobile malware.
How to shift left and integrate MobSF/mobsfscan SAST and DAST in your build pipeline.
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?

Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Ivanti’s Patch Tuesday breakdown goes beyond patching your applications and brings you the intelligence and guidance needed to prioritize where to focus your attention first. Catch early analysis on our Ivanti blog, then join industry expert Chris Goettl for the Patch Tuesday Webinar Event. There we’ll do a deep dive into each of the bulletins and give guidance on the risks associated with the newly-identified vulnerabilities.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

14. Health One a: Livestock and nutrition
Across a range of developing countries, livestock contribute 6-
36% of protein and 2-12% of calories (Nzuma & Randolph,
2008)
Livestock provide food for at least 830 million food insecure
people (Gerber et al, 2007)
Fish account for half the animal protein for the 400 million
poorest people in Africa and South Asia (FAO, 2009).
Small amounts of animal source foods have large benefits on
child growth, cognition & pregnancy outcomes (Neumann et al,
2003)
A small number of countries bear most of the burden of
malnutrition
One billion people are hungry but 2 billion are over-nourished:
15. Health One b: Livestock and human
health
• 60% of human diseases shared with animals (Taylor et al, Woolhose
et al)
• 75% of emerging diseases are zoonotic (Jones et al,)
• 25% of the human infectious disease burden in least developed
countries is zoonotic (12%) or recently emerged (13%) from animals
(Grace et al,)
• The top 13 zoonoses are responsible for at least 2.4 billion cases of
illness and 2.2 million human deaths each year (ILRI, 2012)
• Emerging zoonotic diseases associated with intensive systems with
hotspots in western US and western Europe (ILRI, 2012)
• High burden of neglected zoonotic diseases associated with poor
livestock keepers with hotspots in India, Nigeria and Ethiopia (ILRI,
2012)

18. Health two: livestock health
• Transboundary disease e.g. PPR, CSF, ND, FMD
– Most are controlled in developed countries: avoidable losses
– Massive under-reporting in poor countries: estimated 99.8% of
notifiable disease cases are not reported (ILRI 2012)
• Endemic disease e.g. parasites, viral diarrhoea and respiratory
disease, reproductive disease, lameness, mastitis
– Parasitic diseases are mainly a problem of smallholder systems,
production diseases of intensive systems
– Some estimate more costly than TAD (BMGF, 2012)
• Emerging disease (most are TAD) e.g. HPAI, PRRS, BT in Europe
– Exotic diseases are at home somewhere in the globe: many in
Africa
– As we speak, ASF in 2 European countries. Ebola outbreak E
Africa
– Cost $80 billion between 1997-2009 (World Bank 2012)

21. Health Three: Agro-ecosystem health
• Livestock a source of green house gases
• Livestock feed competes with staple crops and
biofuel and other uses of water
• Livestock a source of disease spillover to wildlife
• But an important source of organic matter for soil
fertility
• Permanent pastures potentially important for carbon
sequestration
• Production efficiency key to reducing C footprints
22. Additional food needed

29. Key Advice to Policy-Makers
• Surveillance: “Re-incentivise disease
reporting”
• Resource allocation: “Base allocation
on Multiple Burden Approach”
• Delivery: “Health is too important to
leave to doctors”
• Cross-cutting: “Support innovations
at all levels”
