F1. Sustainable food consumption and production in a resource-contrained world
This document summarizes a report on sustainable food consumption and production given resource constraints. It notes that the world population is projected to reach 9.2 billion by 2050, with most growth in developing countries and urban areas. Food production will need to increase 70% to feed this larger, richer, more urban population. The report aims to guide European agricultural research and prepare for transition to a sustainable food system. It analyzes foresight activities and papers using transition theory, emphasizing resource scarcity. The report finds that views of problems and solutions differ between productivity-focused and sufficiency-focused thinking. Both approaches will be needed, as no single solution exists. It calls for considering multiple pathways and engaging stakeholders in new thinking.

1. Growth in Latin America has slowed in recent years while political capital is limited.
2. The region is lagging in terms of productivity, skills development, infrastructure investment, and participation in global and regional value chains which has contributed to the middle-income trap.
3. While inequality has decreased with social programs and redistribution, challenges remain in terms of quality jobs, gender equality, and informality which hampers efforts for inclusive growth.
Promoting food security through innovative rural finance and risk management ...
Access to a broad range of financial services influences food security mainly through enabling the availability and access dimensions. Financial services enable poor rural households to manage their diverse affairs, agricultural and non-agricultural. This has shown to stabilize the household income and facilitate all investment and consumption activities, which improves food security today and builds resilience to future idiosyncratic shocks.

Food for All: International Organizations and Agricultural TransformationInternational Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
This document discusses challenges to achieving global food security and nutrition goals, and the role of international organizations in supporting agricultural transformation. It notes that achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 will be difficult given pre-existing trends slowed further by COVID-19. Poverty and hunger are increasingly concentrated in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, where agricultural productivity growth has been low. International organizations have played catalytic roles but face a crowded landscape with fragmented assistance. Agricultural transformation will require doubling investments in agriculture, supporting rural development, boosting domestic capacity, and promoting sustainable food systems through education, value chains, and payments for environmental services.Regional Challenges: A view from Asia (Part 2) - OECD Global Parliamentary Ne...
Regional Challenges: A view from Asia (Part 2) - OECD Global Parliamentary Ne...OECD - Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
Session by Mario Pezzini, Director of OECD Development Centre and Director a.i., OECD Development Co-operation Directorate.
The growth of global value chains (GVCs) has increased the interconnectedness of economies. We understand that emerging economies in Southeast Asia play a pivotal role in the global economy. This session will provide you with the latest OECD analysis on the regional economy and on the key challenges it faces in light of regional integration.
International trade, which used to be a leading driver of economic growth, is now lagging behind, as world trade growth slowed down to around 2% in 2015. Two decades prior to the 2008 crisis, world trade growth annually registered at 7%. Many factors are at play – both cyclical and structural – but their effects are posing risks to the emerging and developing economies in Asia, where trade growth is currently relatively robust. Regional free trade agreements, notably the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, will also influence trade in Asia, and will certainly have implications for the global value chains of specific industries, including in those countries not belonging to the new regional agreements. Strengthening regional ties by 2025 is one of Asia’s most important agendas. This can be made more effective by building on important and positive achievements through ASEAN, ASEAN+3 and ASEAN+6 and making greater efforts to improve co-ordination between regional and sub-regional initiatives and national agendas, reduce disparities in the region, move towards a “Global ASEAN” and strengthen monitoring capacity. Additionally, addressing issues of green growth, renewable energy and private sector development will be particularly important to Asia’s success in regional integration.

The document discusses financing development in Asia-Pacific to achieve the 2030 Agenda. It notes that domestic private financing far exceeds other sources of development finance in the region. It also describes how development finance assessments can provide countries an overview of development financing and recommendations to better align finance with sustainable development priorities and results. Finally, it advocates for integrated national financing frameworks to coordinate different sources of development finance coherently.
Ziwira Finance June 2015
The article discusses private sector financing for green projects in the UAE. While the UAE has made progress in reducing its carbon footprint, private sector environmental initiatives are being hampered by banks' reluctance to finance clean energy enterprises due to a perceived lack of return on investment. The government is committed to environmental sustainability but needs the private sector to provide financing for green investments that have already been made.

Public agricultural investment and rural finance in AfricaFARA - Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa
- African economies have seen strong GDP growth in recent decades, but agricultural productivity has lagged behind other regions. This is partly due to low levels of public spending on agriculture.
- Public investment in agriculture, agricultural research and development, rural infrastructure, and education have large positive impacts on agricultural growth, poverty reduction, and total factor productivity.
- The CAADP framework aims to increase agricultural spending to 10% of national budgets and achieve 6% annual agricultural growth. Several countries have increased agricultural spending, and global support for agriculture is also growing. Increased public spending can enhance agricultural and rural finance.Evolving Financial Systems to Reach the SDGs
The document discusses evolving financial systems to support achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. It notes that annual investments of hundreds of billions will be needed across sectors like power, transport, and telecom. It reviews lessons from implementing the Millennium Development Goals and outlines the holistic nature of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The World Bank aims to play a key role by focusing on human capital, sustainable and inclusive growth, and resilience. Alternative sources of financing like Islamic finance and social impact investing will be important alongside public funds like IDA. Mobilizing private capital through de-risking and public-private partnerships will also be essential to meeting the investment needs.

GFAR / GODAN / CTA webinar #2 "Key data for farmers" - Stephen Kalyesubula - ...
[Webinar recording in last slide or at https://youtu.be/taHHp3UbRZI, 28/2/2018]
As part of its work on farmers’ data rights and following up on the face-to-face course on Farmers’ Access to Data organized in Centurion in November 2017, GFAR collaborates with the Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition initiative (GODAN) and the Technical Center for Agricultural and Rural Cooperarion (CTA) on a series of webinars on data-driven agriculture, its opportunities and its challenges.
Overview of webinar #2
Data becomes significant if it can be linked to information, knowledge and wisdom. Once processed it can be used to generate detailed insights into farm operations and the environment. It assists big and small holder farmers in making data-based operational decisions to optimize yield and boost revenue while minimizing expenses, the chances of crop failure, and environmental impact.
For data driven agriculture to happen we have to distinguish the data streams in the food chain from pre-planting to consumption, for example: data collected and managed from the farm by farmers which can be either static or dynamic; data coming from external sources like market prices and data that is exported for aggregation by other farm service providers. However, farmers may not be in a position to realize those streams and possibly what data and information is required to answer the food chain questions, for example: What produce can I grow where I live? When should I sow/plant/harvest/market it? How should I sow/plant/harvest/market it? All these questions can be answered if the factual data or information is used or made available to the farmers.
Webinar Goals
Make the participants understand the different key data streams, flow and sources that are vital to agricultural value chains. Participants will be in position to identify the data they own or collect on their farms and its usefulness, understand the difference between human and machine farm data, identify the part in the agricultural value chain where data, and which data, is needed most.

[Webinar recording in last slide or at https://youtu.be/bsicKqHZIz4, 22/2/2018]
As part of its work on farmers’ data rights and following up on the face-to-face course on Farmers’ Access to Data organized in Centurion in November 2017, GFAR collaborates with the Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition initiative (GODAN) and the Technical Center for Agricultural and Rural Cooperarion (CTA) on a series of webinars on data-driven agriculture, its opportunities and its challenges.
Overview of webinar #1
Precision agriculture is a promising set of technologies that is data intensive, but which has limited adoption by small holder farms in Sub-Saharan Africa. Concurrently, current trends in sustainability, traceability, and compliance reporting demand that an ever-increasing amount of data be gathered as part of everyday operations in modern production agriculture.
The use of farm management information systems (FMIS) for decision support has shown great promise for improving farm yields and profitability. However, growers are often unsure of the value of the data that they are providing and/or receiving. How does this data help them make the right decisions to improve their yield and profitability? How do growers and service providers work together to simplify the design and use of farm data? How can smallholder farmers take advantage of data in a mutually valuable relationship with data providers?
Webinar Goals
Provide attendees a foundation for understanding the use of data for farming and across the agricultural value chain. Attendees should be able to apply the core concepts of using data for field operations, as well as how data is used across the value chain. Attendees will be introduced to the opportunities and challenges of using data, especially for smallholder farmers.

Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC Charlotte
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
