Presentation by Afrina Choudhury and Melody Braun at the 2nd International Conference on Climate Change and Social Issues, held in Kuala Lumpur from 28 to 29 November, 2012.
Sustainable farming seeks to provide nutritious food while conserving the environment and protecting the soil for future generations, using practices like rotational grazing and natural waste spreading to keep soil fertile without contaminating groundwater or causing erosion, unlike large factory farms.
Mr. Sebastian Belle - Problems, Stumbling Blocks and Solutions for U.S. Aquac...John Blue
This document discusses the growing global demand for food and challenges facing food production. It notes that the world's population is projected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050, requiring food production to double. However, resources like arable land and fresh water are limited. Aquaculture is presented as a solution, as it is more efficient than terrestrial animal or plant production and can use water resources. The US imports over 90% of its seafood but aquaculture represents a major opportunity, though it faces challenges like lack of coordination and political support. Solutions proposed include developing a national aquaculture program to support the industry. Maine is seen as well positioned for growth due to its resources and infrastructure.

This document defines organic farming as a system that avoids synthetic inputs like fertilizers and pesticides and relies on practices like crop rotation and animal manures. It outlines the principles of organic farming as promoting health, ecology, fairness and care. The history of organic farming in India is discussed, noting it began in the early 1900s and states like Sikkim and Uttaranchal have been declared organic. Key differences between conventional and organic farming are less pollution and higher soil fertility with organic methods. The conclusion is that organic farming is a sustainable, eco-friendly approach that improves soil and yields quality produce.
Natural resource management approaches can help achieve sustainable development goals. These include watershed development projects that implement soil and water conservation techniques, improve water availability, and increase agricultural productivity. Watershed projects in India increased crop yields by 20-66%, benefited over 4.75 million farmers, and generated $353 million in net benefits. Other approaches include crop diversification, vegetable cultivation, fruit tree planting, and biofortification to address malnutrition. Integrating natural resource management, new technologies, and partnerships can significantly contribute to achieving development targets like ending poverty and hunger.
Holistic cattle management aims to restore grassland ecosystems by recreating the effects of wild herds with livestock. It is based on cattle and grasslands co-evolving, with herds protecting against predators and distributing water and nutrients. While modern farming has reduced grassland quality, holistic management uses planned grazing patterns to mimic natural herding and allow land to recover as needed, potentially resuscitating grasslands.
The document discusses the Integrated Desert Farming Innovation Platform, which aims to improve food security and resilient livelihoods under conditions of water scarcity and climate change. It notes that desert farming systems have the potential to support over 40 million people across dryland countries. The platform takes a diversification approach, leveraging technological innovations across four pillars: innovation packages, scaling, monitoring and evaluation, and enabling environment. A key part of the approach is demonstrating and quantifying bundles of innovations for integrated desert farming systems through experimental farms and pilot farms across different socioeconomic and environmental conditions in the region.
Role of conservation agriculture under climate change scenariojinendra birla
This document discusses the role of conservation agriculture in addressing climate change. It begins with background on climate change trends in India, such as increasing temperatures, changes in rainfall patterns, and effects on agriculture. Conservation agriculture is introduced as a way to adapt to and mitigate climate change impacts through practices like zero tillage, crop residue management, and moisture conservation. Specific management techniques under conservation agriculture are then reviewed, including their effects on crop yields, water use efficiency, economics and soil organic carbon. The document concludes that conservation agriculture can both help farmers adapt to climate changes while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Intensive farming involves the use of chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, and growth regulators to provide large quantities of relatively cheap food, but it can pollute waterways and the air, disturb ecosystems, and be considered cruel for some animal farming practices. It also carries disease risks like mad cow disease. While intensive farming provides affordable food, it may damage the environment.
Farmland LP converts conventional farmland to sustainable organic farmland. It owns 10,000 acres worth $110 million in assets and has a 50-person team. Farmland LP adds value through price premiums for organic products, crop rotations that improve soil and resiliency, and economies of scale. There is high demand and a shortage of organic farmland despite organic food sales of $43 billion annually in the US. Sustainable agriculture provides financial benefits like price premiums over 200% for organic foods as well as environmental and social benefits.
Building on-farm resilience through genetic diversityExternalEvents
Farmers need greater access to genetic materials and collaboration with scientists to build resilience through genetic diversity. The Program on participatory plant breeding (PPB) and evolutionary plant breeding (EPB) in Iran is one example of how overcoming these challenges can achieve a production system that produces healthy food, sustainable ecosystems, and livelihoods for small-scale farmers through the use of biodiversity. Through PPB and EPB programs, trials are moved from research stations to farmers' fields with shared decision-making between breeders and farmers, and mixtures of diverse varieties and populations are used that evolve to be progressively adapted to local conditions, including climate change.
This document summarizes the sustainability and superiority of oceanic protein from wild fish compared to land-based plant proteins. It notes that producing plant proteins requires large amounts of land, water, chemicals and other resources which harm the environment. In contrast, harvesting protein from the ocean is more sustainable as the ocean covers most of the earth's surface and fish populations are abundant. The document then describes Advance International's patented Seavior system which can harvest protein from the ocean in a closed-loop, compact process that produces no emissions. It produces high-quality protein powder, omega oils and water that have long shelf lives and are free of contaminants. The system helps address world hunger and land shortage issues in a sustainable, eco-friendly
The document summarizes Iowa's Water Quality Initiative which aims to reduce nutrient runoff in Iowa through the implementation of various practices. It notes that Iowa contributes greatly to nutrient pollution in the Gulf of Mexico and that nutrients primarily move with water (nitrogen) and soil (phosphorus). The initiative seeks to advance stewardship through pairing best in-field and off-field practices, expanding consulting services, and demonstrating practices in targeted watershed projects. It outlines statewide efforts like incentives for new practices and tracking adoption levels to measure success.

1) The document discusses the impacts of climate change on food security in Africa, finding that the number of undernourished people on the continent could increase between 25-95% by 2050 due to temperature increases of 1.2-2°C.
2) It highlights examples from Rwanda and Mozambique where landscape and ecosystem-based adaptation approaches improved conditions by restoring forests, soils and fisheries.
3) The conclusion calls for scaling up these isolated success stories across Africa through landscape-level policies in order to achieve long-term, sustainable food security on the continent.
This document summarizes a study on changing rice-based farming and labor patterns in climatically vulnerable areas of southwest Bangladesh. The region has experienced increased salinity, floods, droughts and cyclones due to climate change that have reduced rice productivity. Farmers have adapted by diversifying crops, adopting new rice varieties, and intensifying aquaculture. However, climate impacts have increased workloads, especially for women. The study found a need for more climate-resilient crops and practices to support livelihoods under increasing climate variability.
Food and Beverages Sustainability
Concept
According to the Worldwatch Institute(2009) the major problem in the global food production system is in the unsustainable inputs that are sued.
As a result, many forms of environmental degradation occur; falling water tables, deterioration of pasture, soil erosion.
The Western diet, with its high consumption of fish, meat and dairy products is endangering the environment; croplands are diminishing and the ocean’s fish stocks are in decline.
These grim warning signs are matched with some positive signs of awareness in society for health, environmental stewardship and animal welfare.
As a response to the problems being caused by conventional farming techniques the term sustainable food is now used to describe food production that does not take more natural resources than it gives back.
Sustainable food producers see nature as an ally rather than as an obstacle, they are able to produce wholesome food in symbiosis with nature and the surrounding community.
Uk government Sustainable Development Commission, Sustainable food is:
Safe, healthy and nutritious, for consumers in shops, restaurants, schools, hospitals, etc. And can meet the needs of the less well-off people.
Provides a viable livelihood for farmers, processors and retailers, whose employees enjoy a safe and hygienic working environment whether in the United Kingdom or overseas.
Respects biophysical and environmental limits in its production and processing, while reducing energy consumption and improving the wider environment; it also respects the highest standards of animal health and welfare, compatible with the production of affordable food for all sectors of society.
Supports rural economies and the diversity of rural culture, in particular through an emphasis on local products that keep food miles to a minimum.
The term sustainable food may not sound exciting as a description but catering businesses who develop processes to improve the sustainability of the food they offer stand a better chance of meeting the growing demands of individual consumers.
Once the domain of students and hippies the movement has moved into mainstream society and is represented by some very prominent industry players
example
Starbucks, has started selling four categories of what it calls “sustainable coffees”.
The nature of sustainable food often means that they are more expensive than other types of food.
Inevitably, there is a danger that restaurant operations seeking to provide clients with sustainable food choices may increase prices.
There is limited evidence that individual restaurant consumers are prepared to both purchase and pay a premium for sustainable food products.
Consumer attitudes toward sustainable food
Although consumer awareness of sustainability is growing, it is not yet making a huge difference to what customers choose to buy when they shop for food or sit down to eat in a restaurant.

This document discusses the concept of food sustainability. It notes that with the increasing global population, more pressure is put on finite resources, and that sustainability seeks ways of providing food, water and energy that are long-lasting and have less environmental impact. Some key aspects of sustainable food discussed include eating according to seasons, minimizing "food miles" by buying locally, and choosing organic or fair trade certified options when buying imported foods.
This document describes a project funded by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service to demonstrate collaborative conservation planning and practices across multiple small farms on the island of Hawaii. The project aims to develop streamlined conservation plans for individual small farm plots that are tied to an overarching landscape-scale plan. This approach could reduce the workload for NRCS compared to developing individual plans for each small farm. The project is being led by Kunia Loa Ridge Farmlands, a Hawaiian nonprofit, and involves developing conservation plans for over 800 acres of former pineapple land being converted to small farm plots.

The document discusses sustainable agriculture for food security in Oman. It notes that while food consumption is increasing in Oman, domestic food production only meets a portion of demand. To achieve food security, agricultural practices must be sustainable by considering human, environmental, and economic factors. Traditional Omani agricultural methods that incorporated indigenous knowledge helped ensure sustainability for thousands of years by preserving water, soil, biodiversity, and integrated farming systems. The document argues for a sustainable agricultural approach in Oman that focuses on the food-water-energy nexus, sustainable agro-ecosystems using traditional methods, and a reliable domestic food supply chain with community engagement.

Recommended adaptation measures are provided for agriculture, water resources, fisheries, health/hygiene, disaster risk reduction, food security. The conclusion cites a Cree Indian proverb about environmental protection.
The document discusses the topic of climate change and its health impacts. It defines climate change as long-term changes in weather patterns that can be caused by natural or human factors. Human causes like fossil fuel burning, deforestation and air pollution are the main drivers of increased global temperatures. Rising temperatures are expected to worsen health issues like malnutrition, infectious diseases, and conditions related to extreme weather events. Groups most vulnerable to health effects from climate change include children, the elderly, the poor, and those with pre-existing illnesses. The presentation calls for individual and collective actions to adopt more sustainable lifestyles and switch to renewable energy sources in order to mitigate climate change impacts on human health.
This document summarizes a presentation on climate change and health effects. It discusses the causes of global warming including greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. It outlines several health impacts of climate change such as changing disease patterns, food and water insecurity, effects of extreme weather events, and health risks from adaptation and mitigation activities. It emphasizes that climate change exacerbates existing health inequities. The document recommends both continuing existing public health measures but also implementing new strategies to better adapt to climate change health risks.
This document discusses how climate and weather affect the major human body systems and health. It outlines how extreme temperatures, humidity, and different seasons can impact the respiratory, musculoskeletal, digestive, circulatory, nervous, and skin systems, as well as psychology and behavior. Certain weather conditions are more conducive to the growth and spread of infectious diseases. Maintaining proper hygiene is important for health especially during climate changes.
The document outlines the plan for a presentation on the health impacts of climate change. It discusses introducing the problem statement, evidence of climate change, causes of human-caused climate change, and potential health impacts. It also covers international environmental agendas, adaptation options, and frameworks to address climate change impacts in India.
The document discusses how climate change can impact health in several ways. It notes that climate change is causing rising global temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, and more extreme weather events. These climate changes are increasing heat waves, flooding, droughts, and raising sea levels, which impact health by exacerbating malnutrition, diseases like malaria and diarrhea, and deaths from extreme weather. Vulnerable groups like the elderly, young, and sick are most at risk.
Issues and approaches for Climate Change Adaptation to protect Human Health in Bangladesh. Presented at CBA5 by Dr. Iqbal Kabir Climate Change & Health Protection Unit, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare - Bangladesh
Assessment of different aspects of Sundarban mangrove ecosystem through stati...WWF-India
This document presents research on modeling the mangrove ecosystem in Sundarbans, located between India and Bangladesh. Static and dynamic models were used to compare the eastern and western regions, which differ in salinity due to freshwater inputs. Network modeling revealed the western region had higher salinity, fewer plant species, and lower productivity. A dynamic model was developed to assess the contribution of dissolved inorganic nitrogen from mangrove litterfall to the adjacent estuary. Sensitivity analysis showed loss rates and conversion rates of nitrogen compounds were the most influential parameters. The models were able to accurately simulate field measurements of nitrogen levels in soil and water.
The document discusses the impacts of climate change on Bangladesh's coastal zone. It notes that 20% of Bangladesh's land and 30% of its cultivable land is located in coastal zones, which are home to 35 million people. Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of cyclones, floods, erosion, and salinity intrusion. The government has implemented policies like coastal zone management plans and funding mechanisms to build infrastructure and resilience. However, challenges remain around declining ecosystems, pollution, and adapting to issues like sea level rise and changing rainfall patterns.

Beef consumption produces large amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Worldwide beef production is expected to double by 2020 and will continue increasing to meet growing demand. Ruminants like cows produce methane through digestion, releasing up to 1000 liters per day. This livestock methane accounts for about 28% of global, human-caused methane emissions and significantly contributes to climate change. Climate change, in turn, threatens human health through increased heat waves, worsening air pollution, and expanded ranges of diseases. To curb these effects, reducing global beef consumption by 50% through options like Meatless Mondays is recommended.
The mangrove Forest Sundorbon By<<< Rafee >>iamrafee
The document discusses the Sundarbans mangrove forest located in Bangladesh. It provides background information on the Sundarbans, describing it as the largest mangrove forest in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its Royal Bengal tigers. Key details include the types of flora and fauna found in the Sundarbans, its economic contributions through wood and honey production, and its cultural significance in Bengali folk songs, literature and films. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of protecting the biodiverse Sundarbans for its ecological value as well as Bangladesh's national heritage.
The document contains several graphs and figures related to the impacts of climate change on health. It shows a correlation between increasing atmospheric CO2 levels and rising global temperatures over time. It also illustrates how climate change can indirectly and directly impact health through changes to physical systems, ecology, and extreme weather. Additionally, it provides examples of how conditions like floods, malaria, and malnutrition attributed to climate change could increase mortality and disease burden in developing countries by 2030 if no action is taken.
This presentation discusses the impacts of climate change on elderly people in Bangladesh. It begins with introducing climate change and its causes such as greenhouse gases. It then discusses how climate change is affecting Bangladesh through increased flooding, cyclones, droughts and rising sea levels. The impacts of climate change place additional socio-economic and health burdens on elderly populations, including effects on livelihoods, food security, and increased heat-related illnesses. The presentation concludes with recommendations for how to support elderly people through adaptation strategies, disaster preparedness, and developing age-friendly communities.
1. Climate change poses risks to human health in the UK through increased temperatures, worsening air pollution, and changes in disease patterns.
2. A government report found risks from heatwaves, floods and impacts on food and water safety due to climate change. Vulnerable groups like the elderly are most at risk.
3. Adaptation is needed to prepare for inevitable changes, through measures like improved early warning systems, climate-resilient infrastructure and public health guidance. Mitigation of greenhouse gases can also benefit health.

Environmental sustainability of family farming can be obtained by helping family farms to conserve and ensure the sustainable use of natural resources on their farms, namely water, land and biodiversity.
Asia faces major challenges in ensuring sufficient water resources to meet growing demands for food, as population increases and climate change impacts water availability. Promising adaptation strategies include improving water storage, reforming irrigation systems, increasing water and crop productivity, expanding policies to support rainfed agriculture, and implementing institutional and policy reforms to better manage limited water resources. Comprehensive assessments of agricultural water management that consider the full spectrum of water sources are needed to adapt to a changing environment.

Reef ecosystems have been in steady balance for millions of years but are now in decline due to climate change, bleaching, and overfishing. Climate change is stressing corals through warmer water temperatures, which causes them to lose their symbiotic algae and turn white. The oceans absorbing carbon dioxide from human activities is also making the water more acidic, inhibiting corals' ability to build skeletons. Overfishing disrupts the delicate food chain by removing key species. To remedy this, stronger fishing regulations and more protected areas are needed, while addressing the underlying causes of climate change.

The document discusses India's proposed National Food Security Bill of 2011. It aims to guarantee subsidized food grains to up to 75% of India's population. The key objectives are to reduce malnutrition, infant mortality, and insulate the poor from food price inflation. However, there are concerns about the large cost of implementation which could increase fiscal deficits and affect economic growth. There is also a need to balance economic concerns with the social ambition of ensuring food security for all citizens.

This document compares and contrasts intensive and extensive farming. Intensive farming uses high amounts of inputs like capital, labor, pesticides, and fertilizers on small areas of land to achieve very high outputs. It is characterized by large numbers of animals raised in confined spaces. Extensive farming uses low inputs on large areas of land, as seen with grazing of animals on grasslands. While intensive farming yields more per hectare, extensive farming requires less labor per unit area. Both approaches have environmental impacts and trade-offs between productivity and resource use.

Barrack Okoba: Agricultural land management: capturing synergies between clim...AfricaAdapt
The document summarizes research on the synergies between agricultural adaptation, mitigation, and profitability in Sub-Saharan Africa. It finds that many practices that increase farms' resilience to climate change also increase productivity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For example, improved crop varieties, fertilizer use, and water harvesting can boost yields while also sequestering carbon and adapting to climate change impacts. The research aims to identify "win-win-win" strategies that provide benefits across adaptation, mitigation, and profits to inform policies that promote more holistic agricultural and development approaches.

This document evaluates methods for detecting aquaculture waterbodies in southern Bangladesh using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and multispectral data. It finds that ensembles of SAR and multispectral data improved water detection rates over individual methods. Shape indices and SAR backscatter data helped differentiate waterbodies. However, the study was limited by 10m spatial resolution and vegetation interference, which affected segmentation of small or irregular waterbodies. Overall, the best methods achieved water detection rates up to 87% in districts, though prediction performance was lower due to segmentation limitations.
FIL Outreach workshop presentation 5: Fish trader and feed trader survey resultsWorldFish
The document summarizes the results of surveys of fish traders and feed traders in southwest Bangladesh. It finds that most fish markets are privately owned and located in urban areas, and have access to basic facilities like electricity, ice, and roads for transporting fish. The number of fish and feed traders has increased significantly in the last decade. Fish trading deals mostly in carp, while feed trading sells floating feed pellets. Both fish and feed trading were profitable businesses but were negatively impacted by reduced demand during COVID-19, with traders reporting lower sales and incomes.
FIL Outreach workshop presentation 3: Introduction to Survey MethodsWorldFish
- The document summarizes survey methods used in 2014 and 2020 to study the aquaculture value chain in Bangladesh.
- In 2014, a stacked value chain survey covered 20 districts and interviewed over 3,000 actors including 1,540 farmers, hatcheries, traders, and input providers using purposive stratified random sampling.
- In 2020, the survey focused on 7 districts in South and Southwestern Bangladesh, updating the 2014 panel and randomly selecting replacements. It developed censuses and randomly surveyed over 1,000 individuals across farm households, traders, and input traders.
This document summarizes the results of a survey of 721 aquatic farms in Bangladesh. It finds that farms produce a diverse mix of fish, shrimp, and prawn, with fish being the dominant crop. Integrated crop and aquatic farming is also common. The survey found high levels of disease, especially impacting shrimp farms. It also found that farms were highly exposed to extreme weather like flooding. COVID-19 negatively impacted production, though fish farms were less affected. Overall, the systems were found to be profitable and resilient despite challenges due to their diverse and adaptable nature.
The document summarizes results from a combined survey and remote sensing study of aquaculture farms in seven districts in Bangladesh. It finds that:
1) Machine learning estimates of total farm area were similar to government statistics, and calculated average production values, incomes, feed use, and jobs per hectare to estimate totals for the districts.
2) The study estimated a total value of aquaculture production of $1.45 billion USD and farm profits of $670 million USD across the seven districts.
3) The results reveal the potential of combining remote sensing, machine learning, and representative surveys to estimate a wide range of sector statistics, though some estimates differed from government reports.
This document provides an overview of the "Harnessing Machine Learning to Estimate Aquaculture Production and Value Chain Performance in Bangladesh" project. The project was funded by USAID Innovation Lab for Fish and implemented from April 2020 to September 2022 by Michigan State University, BAU, WorldFish, and CIAT. The project aimed to survey aquaculture farmers, fish traders, and suppliers; use machine learning on remote sensing images combined with survey data to estimate economic impacts; and build capacity through extension videos. Key components included surveying 1100 participants, using machine learning to analyze remote sensing data, and disseminating short extension videos on social media.
