Better lives through livestock: ILRI overview

Biodiversity

Jarin Abonti

This document discusses biodiversity and its conservation. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life, including genetic diversity within and between species and ecosystems. It notes that biodiversity provides many benefits but is being lost due to human impacts like habitat destruction and climate change. Conservation efforts aim to protect biodiversity through both in-situ and ex-situ methods, with in-situ involving protected areas and ex-situ including zoos and seed banks. International agreements like the Convention on Biological Diversity also support biodiversity conservation. However, conservation faces challenges in balancing human livelihoods and development with protecting biodiversity for the future.

The International Association of Students in Agricultural and Related Sciences (IAAS) is seeking funding to send students to participate in the 2015 World Forestry Congress in Durban, South Africa. IAAS represents students in fields like agriculture, forestry, and food technology from over 30 countries. The World Forestry Congress is a key event for foresters and supporters to share expertise on the topic of "Forests and People: Investing in a Sustainable Future." IAAS has been given the opportunity to organize a youth event at the Congress and hopes to gain international experience, networking opportunities, and share the youth perspective. However, IAAS is lacking the necessary funds and seeks partners who can support sending students for an estimated total of $1

From on-farm conservation to Community biodiversity management - Riccardo Boc...

diversifoodproject

How to better embed crop diversity for resilient sustainable food systems? On April 11th, the DIVERSIFOOD Forum with policy makers and stakeholders addressed this and other fundamental questions to promote cultivated biodiversity. The event was hosted by the European Committee of the Regions in Brussels and involved different stakeholders: from policy makers to researchers, from NGOs to Farmer Organisations and Value chain actors. This talk "From on-farm conservation to Community biodiversity management" was given by Riccardo Bocci, Rete semi rurali (DIVERSIFOOD Project Partner)

High yielding and disease resistant chickpea varieties released in Ethiopia

Tropical Legumes III

Three new chickpea varieties with higher yields, disease resistance, and early maturity were released for production in high-altitude areas of Ethiopia. The varieties were developed through collaboration between ICARDA, EIAR, and ICRISAT. Breeding lines for the varieties came from ICRISAT and ICARDA. The varieties showed improved yields compared to standard and local varieties currently grown in the region. The new varieties are expected to improve food security and incomes for farmers in Ethiopia.

Introduction to Livestock in a Changing Landscape

This document provides an overview of the collaboration between multiple institutions to produce an assessment of the global livestock sector called "Livestock in a Changing Landscape". The assessment aims to take a comprehensive look at the drivers of change in the livestock sector, the environmental, social, and health consequences, and potential responses. It involves input from a diverse range of experts from different organizations and regions to reflect the heterogeneity of livestock production systems around the world. Challenges addressed in the assessment include balancing the livelihoods of millions who depend on livestock with environmental sustainability and equitable development as the sector continues to undergo rapid changes globally.

A large parcel of land is broken down into regions, and two trials with each fertilizer are used on plots of land within each region. The corn yield obtained for each of the plots is shown in the above table. (a) Perform an appropriate analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the data shown in the table. Construct an ANOVA table and determine whether there is a significant difference among the fertilizers. Is there a significant difference among regions? (Assume a significance level of ? = 0.05) Is the interaction effect significant? (b) Assess the treatment and block means using the t-distribution. (c) Calculate and interpret the model residuels. (d)Summarize what has been learned from the experiment. Solution Diversity means life; diversity means choice. Unfortunately, around the world the spaces for the maintenance and creation of (new) diversity are becoming more and more confined. Biological diversity, in environments increasingly disturbed by human intervention, is under serious threat. Globalization forces are imposing limits on the ways people shape and reshape socioeconomic, cultural, and political diversity. At the same time, in many places efforts are underway to maintain or open up new room for the appreciation, use, and further evolution of diversity. In 1992, following the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED or the \"Earth Summit\"), staff at Canada\'s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) developed a program to support these efforts. IDRC\'s biodiversity program was born to put and keep biodiversity high on the agenda of research and development organizations in the South, in Canada, and around the globe. In 1997, the biodiversity program evolved into the Sustainable Use of Biodiversity (SUB) program initiative, retaining its major objectives and approach: Image to promote the use, maintenance, and enhancement of the knowledge, innovations, and practices of indigenous and local communities to conserve and sustainably use biodiversity; Image to develop incentives, methods, and policies that facilitate the development of strategies for the conservation and enhancement of in situ agricultural and aquatic biodiversity; and the participation of communities in their design and implementation; and Image to support the creation of policies and legislation that recognize the rights of indigenous and local communities to genetic resources and to the equitable sharing of benefits of the use of these resources. This In_Focus book presents fragments of the arduous biodiversity research work carried out and ongoing in numerous, often far away and little known places around the world. The book b.

Essay On Gene Diversity

Heather Vargas

The document discusses the International Whaling Commission (IWC), which was established in 1946 by whaling nations to regulate commercial whaling. However, the IWC proved largely ineffective, as it set quotas too high and had no enforcement power. Many developing countries also did not join or follow the IWC's decisions. The document then mentions land-degradation neutrality, which was defined at COP12 as a target for sustainable development.
