Presented by Emma Naluyima (Smallholder Farmer, Private Veterinarian) at the Expert panel: Sustainable solutions for the livestock sector: the time is ripe! 10th Global Forum for Food and Agriculture, Berlin, 19 January 2018
This document summarizes three dairy cattle farming systems:
1. Grazing system - cattle graze on natural or improved pasture with minimal supplemental feeding. Requires least inputs.
2. Grazing with supplemental feeding - cattle graze and receive supplemental crops/concentrates when housed. More production than grazing alone but requires more labor and inputs.
3. Zero grazing - cattle are housed and all feed is brought to them. Highest production potential but also highest labor and investment requirements. Choice of system depends on factors like climate, land availability, labor, and market access. Intensification increases production but also costs and risks which must be carefully considered.
Microcredit programs in Bangladesh help reduce poverty by providing small loans to poor individuals for self-employment projects. Two prominent microcredit organizations discussed are Grameen Bank and BRAC, which lend primarily to women in rural Bangladesh. Grameen Bank pioneered the group lending model and its borrowers own most of the bank. Both organizations have had success in helping people rise out of poverty and improve their standards of living.
Goat farming business is not a new enterprise. Rearing goats is a profitable business. Goat has been rearing since the time immemorial. Generally goat farming means rearing goats for the purpose of harvesting milk, meat and fiber. At present, goat farming has become a profitable business and it requires a very low investment because of its multi-functional utility. Commercial goat farming business is contributing greatly to the economy and nutrition of a country.There are many advantages of goat farming business. You can also raise goats along with your other livestock animals. Goats have been considered as poor man’s cow (mini cow) for the poor people because of it’s immense contribution in rural economy and national income. Goat products like milk and meat is not only nutritious and easily digestible food but also a great source of regular income for the poor, landless and marginal farmers. As goats are small sized animal , so they are easily maintained. Even they are easily maintained and cared by women and children. For successful goat farming business, you need to do some common tasks such as feeding, milking and caring. These simple tasks do not require much equipment, capital, labor or hard work.
Sheep farming provides multiple benefits and sources of income through wool, meat, milk and manure. It is an important source of livelihood for rural communities. Some advantages are that sheep require low-cost housing and labor compared to other livestock. Their diet of grass allows them to convert plants into meat and wool efficiently. Loans for sheep farming are available from banks and government schemes. A model economics example is provided for a 100 sheep unit, outlining costs, inputs, outputs and cash flows over 7 years which indicate the financial viability and profitability of sheep farming.

The document summarizes the background, activities, challenges, opportunities, and lessons learned of the Selale Dairy Cooperative Union (SDCU) in Ethiopia. SDCU was established in 2001 with 9 cooperatives and has since expanded to 27 cooperatives and 1,700 members. It collects and sells milk to processors in Addis Ababa. Major challenges include poor infrastructure, lack of education and equipment. Opportunities include proximity to markets and organized cooperatives. Lessons learned are that quality and services increase production, and cooperatives improve bargaining power and experience sharing.
Shenggen Fan discusses the challenges facing the livestock sector including rapid urbanization, rising inequality, food safety concerns, and antimicrobial resistance. Livestock is key for smallholder livelihoods by providing income, assets, and risk management. Consumption of animal sourced foods is important for nutrition, especially in developing countries, where it is associated with reduced stunting. The livestock sector accounts for about 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from enteric fermentation and feed production. Policy innovations will play a key role in ensuring livestock practices improve nutrition and sustainability while mitigating climate change.
This presentation was developed to teach youth about wool in preparation for 4-H skillathon competitions. It was developed by University of Maryland Extension Sheep & Goat Specialist Susan Schoenian.

The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) was established in 1965 to develop the dairy industry in India through the cooperative model. Key events include the formation of the Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union in 1946, the success of the Anand model cooperative, and the launch of Operation Flood from 1970-1996. Operation Flood transformed India from a milk-deficient nation to the largest milk producer in the world through the establishment of dairy cooperatives across the country. The NDDB continues to focus on strengthening the cooperative movement and increasing milk production in India.
This document discusses feeding practices for small ruminants like sheep and goats. It provides information on meeting the nutritional requirements of sheep at different life stages through creep feeding and supplemental feeding. It also discusses feeding practices during pregnancy and lactation. Recommended ration compositions are provided for different physiological stages. Feeding behaviors and dietary preferences of goats are also covered.
Overview of the Dairy Genetics East Africa (DGEA) projectILRI
Presented by John P. Gibson, Ed Rege, Okeyo Mwai, Julie Ojango at the Dairy Genetics East Africa (DGEA) Project 2013 Grand Challenges Meeting, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 28-30 October 2013
1. The document discusses strategies and policies for doubling Indian farmers' incomes by 2022, as directed by the Prime Minister. It outlines various schemes and initiatives implemented to support this goal.
2. Key challenges in measuring and monitoring farm incomes are discussed, including defining the appropriate income metric (gross vs. net, per cultivator vs. per household). Historical estimates of farm incomes across Indian states are presented.
3. Projections of future farm incomes under different scenarios accounting for inflation, the declining number of cultivators, and potential growth in the agriculture sector are modeled to assess progress towards doubling incomes by 2022.
Rotational grazing involves subdividing pastures into paddocks and rotating livestock between them to allow forage recovery. Animals graze one paddock for a period then move to the next in a set sequence. Zero grazing keeps animals indoors and brings cut forage to them, requiring manual or mechanical harvesting. Continuous grazing allows animals to freely graze a single pasture for long periods, such as a whole year.
This document provides an overview of pasture, rangeland, and grazing management. It discusses temperate pastures and rangelands, how to manage soil and forage resources, stocking rates, weed management, multispecies grazing, pasture renovation, rotational grazing, overgrazing, extending the grazing season, prescribed grazing, and developing grazing management plans. The goal is to offer strategies for sustainable livestock production through pasture-based systems that maintain the health of soils, plants, and animals.
The Push-pull technology is an innovation from ICIPE. It’s a pest management approach that uses repellent intercrops and an attractive trap plant. Pests are repelled from the food crop and attracted to a trap crop, simultaneously. It is mostly used to control Stemborer and Striga.
Dairy farming provides small farmers with supplemental income and employment. It utilizes agricultural byproducts to feed livestock and produces manure as fertilizer. A typical small dairy farm with 2 buffaloes can earn a farmer around Rs. 6,000-9,000 per year after expenses. Dairy farming plays an important role in India as most milk is produced by small farms and landless laborers. There is also potential to increase milk production to meet domestic demand. Banks provide loans to support dairy farming which are assessed for technical feasibility and economic viability.

The project aims to build a competitive dairy industry through private investment to generate income for smallholders and provide quality dairy products. It does this through activities focused on improving efficiency and quality, stimulating business development, and strengthening market linkages. Major activities included training farmers, forming cooperatives, improving animal health and feed, and supporting profitable small businesses along the dairy value chain. The project also conducted research finding consumers prefer raw milk and had low awareness of pasteurization. It provides recommendations to strengthen collaboration and encourage women's participation.
Allied agricultural skills for nutritional, livelihood and economic supportSahely Kanthal
This document discusses various topics related to sustainable agriculture including:
1) By 2050, 80% of the world's population will live in urban areas putting pressure on available farmland. Food production and off-farm jobs can help eliminate hunger and improve livelihoods in rural areas.
2) Mushroom cultivation provides nutritional benefits, generates employment, and improves farmers' incomes. Production requires minimal resources and generates profits.
3) Beekeeping is a source of supplementary income that requires little land or labor. Hives produce honey and support pollination of crops.
The document promotes integrated and sustainable agricultural practices to support food security, rural employment, and farmers' livelihoods in the future.
Farming is essential to rural communities and the EU economy. There are over 11 million farms in the EU employing 22 million people. Farmers produce a wide range of food while protecting the environment through sustainable practices. They face challenges in attracting young farmers and adapting to climate change, but also pursue new opportunities through diversification and technology. Farming plays a crucial role in rural livelihoods and the EU's future food supply.

This document introduces an African company called African Green Developments that aims to establish a large-scale sustainable and organic farming project in South Africa. The project would use abandoned land and waste resources to produce food, animal feed, and other products while training local communities and providing free healthcare and education. Products planned for the first year include biofuel briquettes from land clearing, insect protein from food waste, and algae for feedstock. The long-term goal is a 200,000 hectare multifaceted agroforestry and farming operation that feeds and trains the community.
Cattle Mettle is a social enterprise created by Nikhil Bohra that uses an invasive plant called the mesquite tree to provide low-cost, nutritious feed for cattle. This increases milk production and farmer incomes in the dry, desert-like Thar region of India where most cattle currently produce only 3 liters of milk per day instead of the possible 15. Early small trials showed a 20% increase in milk production using Cattle Mettle's mesquite feed. The organization aims to provide affordable daily cattle feed to 200,000 head of cattle and 100,000 households in the Thar Desert within 5 years, creating over 6,000 jobs and stopping the spread of invasive mesquite plants. Ultimately, Cattle
This document provides an overview of the Grass Roots Up Co-Operative Limited, which aims to allow communities in Nova Scotia to invest in grazing livestock from grass roots up for long-term health, social, and economic benefits. The cooperative recognizes farms and communities in Nova Scotia as assets and outlines their qualifications and needs. It discusses the historical and economic significance of cattle farming for jobs, food security, and community well-being in Nova Scotia, and presents Grass Roots Up as a cooperative solution and prescription for change that harnesses social capital.
The document discusses the importance of cows in Indian culture and society. It notes that cows are seen as sacred in India and are respected and worshipped. However, many cows currently wander the streets, where they consume garbage and become malnourished. The document proposes a "Save Cow, Safe World" project to address this issue. The project would establish cow shelters (gaushalas) to provide care for cows and generate income from cow milk, dung, and urine. This would benefit both cows and humans by improving health, generating employment, and furthering cleanliness initiatives. The income could then be reinvested in community welfare programs.
Agriculture is the cultivation of crops and raising of livestock. Over time, humans transitioned from hunter-gatherers to early farmers who domesticated animals and grew crops. Key developments included the domestication of cattle, goats and sheep, the cultivation of grains like wheat and rice, and the emergence of organized farming systems in ancient civilizations like Egypt, China, and Rome. Agricultural development aims to promote efficient farming through improved seeds, fertilizers, irrigation, transportation, research, credit access, and new technologies.
This document summarizes Danielle Nierenberg's presentation at the Sustainable Food Summit. Some key points:
1) Nierenberg discussed agricultural innovations that help reduce food waste, engage youth, allow cities to feed themselves, and mitigate climate change based on her research traveling to 35 countries.
2) Examples of innovations that cut food waste included solar dryers, hermetically sealed bags, and consumer education programs.
3) Engaging youth in agriculture provides jobs and opportunities for young people in both developing and developed nations.

Livestock farming, raising of animals for use or for pleasure. Livestock farming is the rearing of animals for food and for other human uses. The word 'Livestock' applies primarily to cattle or dairy cows, chickens, goats, pigs, horses and sheep. Today, even animals like donkeys, mules, rabbits and insects such as bees are being raised as part of livestock farming.
Present-day livestock farming is very well planned - animals are provided with food and shelter and bred selectively. As regards shelter, animals are usually kept in enclosures. Pigs and poultry are reared intensively in indoor environments. However, indoor animal farming has often been criticized for multiple reasons - on grounds of pollution and for animal welfare reasons. Outdoor farming of livestock stands for rearing animals in bigger enclosures like ranches and fenced pastures.

It also summarizes that dairy farmers prioritize cow health and welfare, use various housing and milking systems, and are taking steps to enhance the environment such as using manure for fertilizer and leaving areas for wildlife.
A community seed bank in Ejere, Ethiopia was set up to preserve crop diversity as farmers grew 26 varieties of wheat and teff with good yields without fertilizer. The seed bank allows farmers to borrow seeds and repay with interest, helping one farmer earn a 150 kg profit after borrowing wheat. A community seed bank stores seeds until needed, such as after crop failures, and allows farmers to exchange and preserve local varieties of food crops for future harvests.
Yayati Singh would like to thank many people who supported his animal husbandry project, including his principal, biology teacher, parents, best friend, and God. His biology teacher, Ms. Ritu Jain, provided ongoing advice and encouragement. His parents inspired and supported him. His best friend helped complete the project by exchanging ideas. The project report discusses types of animal farming like cattle, poultry, fish, and bee keeping. It covers topics like cattle and buffalo milk production, poultry breeding and care, fish farming techniques, and the medicinal properties of honey from bee keeping.
This document discusses sustainable agriculture and permanent, long-lasting farming methods. It proposes developing a sustainable farm on 50 cents of land with crops, livestock, trees and a fish pond. The farm would be self-sufficient and generate a total annual income of over 520,000 rupees. It would require an initial investment of around 117,500 rupees and could be established over 14-20 months through proceeds from early crops and livestock. The system aims to be permanently sustainable through biodiversity, natural cycles, and all needs being met within the farm.

Food safety research in low- and middle-income countriesILRI
Presentation by Hung Nguyen-Viet at the first technical meeting to launch the Food Safety Working Group under the One Health Partnership framework, Hanoi, Vietnam, 28 September 2023
The Food Safety Working Group (FSWG) in Vietnam was created in 2015 at the request of the Deputy Prime Minister to address food safety issues in the country. It brings together government agencies, ministries, and development partners to facilitate joint policy dialogue and improve food safety. Over eight years of operations led by different organizations, the FSWG has contributed to various initiatives. However, it faces challenges of diminished government participation over time and dependence on active members. Going forward, it will strengthen its operations by integrating under Vietnam's One Health Partnership framework to better engage stakeholders and achieve policy impacts.

Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid
JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark UniverseSérgio Sacani
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.
