Bardera polytechnic
Bardera Polyechnic established in 2008, is a public university college located in Bardera, Gedo region of Somalia. Bardera Polytechnic's programs are featured in photos depicting classroom activities, field trip images to farms where different tropical fruits are growing nicely. Fruits such as bananas, papayas, lemon and young fruit trees are everywhere in Bardera area farms.
Agribusiness program at Bardera Polytechnic is the first such program in southern Somalia's rich farming Juba Valley areas. Bardera District communities along side the Juba River numbering some 91 small towns and villages keep farms on either side of the Juba River. Communities away from the river banks keep animals such as camel, cattle and sheep (mixture with goat) and each family owns animal herds from twenty two few hundred sheep or camels or both.
Agricultural related programs such crop science, agri-marking, irrigation engineering and Veterinary Sciences are established during the second phase programs development at Bardera Polytechnic. Business, Languages and Computer departments got of ground during the second year of Bardrea Polyechnic.
In the absence of other universities and specialized schools in the three Juba Valley regions of Gedo, Middle Juba and Lower Juba, Bardera Polytechnic had to establish health programs-and in essence, Bardera Polytechnic became the first comprehensive post-secondary school in Juba Valley.

Introduction to Animal Biotechnology
1. The history of biotechnology can be divided into 3 stages - ancient, classical, and modern. Ancient biotech involved early applications related to food and shelter. Classical biotech built on these techniques and promoted fermentation. Modern biotech manipulates genetic information through techniques like genetic engineering.
2. Biotechnology has 5 main branches - animal, medical, environmental, industrial, and plant. Animal biotech improves livestock through techniques like artificial insemination, cloning, and transgenic animals. Medical biotech develops drugs and treatments.
3. Environmental biotech applies bioprocesses to clean pollution through bioremediation. Industrial biotech uses organisms to produce chemicals. Plant biotech engineers crops for desired traits like pest
CVS Embryology (Amoud University)
The cardiovascular system begins developing in the third week of embryo development. Cardiac progenitor cells migrate and form the heart tube which develops layers and loops as it elongates. Septa form dividing the heart into chambers and connecting blood vessels. By the end of development the heart has four chambers and valves to ensure one-way blood flow. The circulatory system also develops with aortic arches forming major blood vessels and vitelline and umbilical vessels connecting the embryo to the placenta to allow oxygenated blood circulation until birth.
Improving water productivity in water user groups
Recent development of irrigation scheduling technologies and ICT platforms have shown potential in providing farmers with sufficient information to improve irrigation decisions. However, for small-scale farmers in developing countries, access to these options remains challenging due to insufficient network facilities (e.g. ICT platforms) or the local availability of technologies. Developing local information networks around irrigation technologies in water user groups (WUG) has the potential to provide an option to mutually improve on-farm water management and water user group performance in irrigation schemes. The study explored whether farmers who had access to information would obtain similar agricultural and water productivity results as their peers who had access to a technology within the same group. Furthermore, the study aimed at evaluating whether the water user groups who had developed an information sharing platform would outperform the control group. Ninety WUGs allocated in six irrigation blocks were randomly assigned into three groups: i) control (36 WUGs), Wetting front detector (WFD) based network (36 WUGs) and chameleon sensor based network (18 WUGs) covering a total of 990 wheat producing farmers. In technology based networks four technologies were distributed randomly to farmers who provided irrigation information to the other farmers growing the same crop within the same WUG. The information shared included time to irrigate one furrow and time to irrigate the total area of the field. Preliminary results showed that the irrigation depth applied in fields where farmers received the information was similar compared to those who used the tools in their fields. The WUGs, who had established information networks around the irrigation tools, used significantly lower irrigation amounts compared to the control groups. The impact on wheat yield and subsequently water productivity on-farm was influenced by the heterogeneity in farm management (i.e. nitrogen applied, irrigation experience) and water allocation to various WUGs (i.e. location of the WUG in the scheme). Depending on water allocation to the WUGs, the increases in water productivity could be classified into two groups: 1) reduction of irrigation without significant increments in agricultural productivity (nitrogen limiting) or 2) reduction of irrigation with significant increments in agricultural productivity (no nitrogen limitation). Whilst the project is validating its findings in a second irrigation season, preliminary results suggest that building local information networks around low-cost irrigation scheduling technologies could leap-frog improving agricultural and water productivity in schemes without the need for upscaling technologies to each and every farm.

Digital innovations have the potential to transform food, land, and water systems by providing timely insights and improving productivity. However, several challenges must be addressed. The digital divide means technologies do not reach all, especially rural and marginalized groups. Decision-makers also lack access to reliable, real-time information on these systems. Additionally, many lack digital skills. To realize digital innovations' transformative potential, they must be inclusive in reaching all groups, action-oriented in supporting informed decisions, and human-centered in meeting needs and improving lives. The document outlines several work packages, including enabling environments for digital ecosystems, bridging the gender divide, monitoring systems with modeling, and enabling platforms and services.

Editor's Notes
- Here I speak of how this farmer like many others in rural Uganda remain isolated despite current efforts. He is too far from the farmers’ union that offers advisory and collective marketing support. It would take the official government extension worker at least two hours to walk to and from this farmers’ farm, he is barely literate so unlikely to independently use a ICT based solution like text searching for info. Farming is therefore tough but he remains optimistic that if only he could get help, things will be better.
- The idea is that these rural intermediaries can extend agricultural extension to farmer like Chelangat. Talk about how they are identified, (are nominated by ag players and voted by their communities so they are a link between the two) recruited, trained on both info service to farmers & data collection for ag bodies as well as community service
- Was having problems with my hens. Ten of her birds of 20 had died. A neighbor farmer looked up the problem using a phone and advised her to add aloe-vera to drinking water she gives to the hens. All her hens are remaining chicken survived!
- Here I talk about how we workwith ag ext orgs that are convinced of the value an ICT enable intermediary can add to their existing program are working with us to build this network. Example of WFP
