Assessing the environmental impact of livestock industry development pathwaysILRI
Poster prepared by Fraval S, Lannerstad M, Herrero M, Notenbaert A, Ran Y, Paul B, Mugatha S, Barron J and Morris J for the ILRI@40 Workshop, Addis Ababa, 7 November 2014
Pressure on environmental resources must be considered in ambitions to meet nutritional and livelihood needs into the future. Human population is forecast to increase from 7.7 billion today to approximately 9.48 billion in 2050, with an increase of over one billion in Africa alone. Consumption of animal source foods in Sub-Saharan Africa is forecast to increase by 25% in 2050. Meeting increased demand for livestock products will depend on a strong environmental resource base and functioning eco-system services. Decision makers and industry advocates, therefore, will need to consider alternative development pathways and the related environmental impacts. How can such complex environmental assessments be incorporated into investment and policy decisions?

These guidelines have been prepared for local councils seeking to achieve best practice in roadside environmental management through the use of Roadside Vegetation Management Plans (RVMPs). However, the guidelines will also be of relevance to managers of other linear reserves which, by nature of their shape and issues, have similar management requirements.
This guide outlines the fourth stage in developing a RVMP - planning.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
3. The overall goal for all parties is to ensure that soils
are management sustainably and that degraded soils
are rehabilitated or restored.
4. Objectives
• To provide guidance about how the sustainability
of soil management can be assessed.
• To provide a starting point for regional and local
assessments of SSM carried out under the pillars
of the GSP.
5. Sustainable Soil Management
1. Sustainability: soil management must maintain or
enhance the ecosystem services by the soil
1. Management: should lead to the maintenance or
enhancement of services and is NOT sustainable if
it causes significant impairment of either soil
functions or biodiversity.
6. Soil health/ quality vs SSM
• Indicators for soil health/ quality already exist
• SSM requires trade-offs
What are the impacts of human use of soil on
ecosystem services, soil functions, and
biodiversity?
7. Stages in the assessment of SSM
1. Compilation of information on current or
proposed management
2. Identification of management related threats to
ecosystem services, soil functions and
biodiversity.
3. Compilation of science-based information on
acceptable level of threats to ecosystem services,
soil functions and biodiversity
8. 4. Compilation of local knowledge on acceptable
levels of threats
5. Linkage of current or proposed management to
identified threats
6. Comparison of probable effects of current or
proposed management to acceptable level of
threats
7. Assessment of socio-economic and cultural
implications of current or proposed management
measures
9. 8. Implementation of changes to management to
achieve acceptable levels of threats or initiation
of efforts to overcome barriers to adoption of
such changes
9. Recognition of achievement of sustainability
10. Outcome of the assessment
The soil management currently being applied could
be assessed to determine if it is sustainable (stages 6
and 7)
OR
The current or proposed management contains
practices that are deemed to be unsustainable (at
stage 6)
11. Outcome of the assessment
If unsustainable, try to reduce the threat using
alternative management options (VGSSM), and if
there are no viable options (culturally, socially and
economically acceptable), the management is not
sustainable.
