This document summarizes the national context of extension and advisory services in Malawi. It outlines the country's agricultural and economic background, national policies related to agriculture and extension, the current status and funding of public extension services, challenges faced, and recommendations. Key points include:
- Agriculture is the backbone of Malawi's economy but smallholder farmers face challenges of poverty and malnutrition.
- National policies aim to increase agricultural productivity and growth through strategies like fertilizer subsidies.
- Public extension services are understaffed and underfunded, with ratios of over 1,800 farmers per agent. Linkages between research and extension are also weak.
- Coordination between different extension approaches and actors needs improvement toAgricultural Extension and AIDS in Malawi
1) Government agricultural extension services in Malawi faced increased staff losses due to AIDS between 2002-2005, leaving many sections without qualified extension workers.
2) High vacancy rates significantly decreased the number and intensity of agricultural extension activities provided to farmers. Having unqualified workers fill vacant sections did not improve the situation.
3) Within districts with high HIV prevalence, the negative association between HIV rates and vacancy rates in local areas indicated that more extension workers were allocated to regions with higher HIV in an effort to mitigate impacts.

This study examines the potential impacts of climate change on agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa through 2050. The authors analyze historical crop yield and weather data from 1961-2006 for maize, sorghum, millet, groundnuts and cassava using panel regression models. The models estimate the relationship between crop yields and temperature/precipitation variables. Applying projected mid-century climate changes to the historical weather data, the authors find with 95% probability that climate change will reduce yields of the studied crops by at least 7% by 2050, with a 5% chance yields could fall over 27%. Countries with higher current yields face larger projected losses, suggesting improved varieties are more vulnerable to heat impacts.
Lobell etal 2012_nclimate1356
This document summarizes a study that used satellite data to analyze the impact of extreme heat on wheat senescence and yields in northern India. The key findings were:
1) Satellite data showed that extreme heat (above 34°C) significantly accelerated wheat senescence, shortening the growing season, beyond the effects of increased average temperatures alone.
2) Crop models underestimated the impact of extreme heat on senescence and predicted much smaller reductions in growing season length from a 2°C warming.
3) Due to the link between shorter growing seasons and lower yields, the models likely underestimate potential wheat yield losses in the region from climate change by as much as 50% for some sowing dates

It finds that uncertainties related to temperature changes represent a greater contribution to uncertainty than those related to precipitation changes for most crops and regions. In particular, the sensitivity of crop yields to temperature changes is identified as a critical source of uncertainty. This is surprising given rainfall's importance to crop yields, but reflects the large magnitude of projected warming relative to historical temperature variability, as well as disagreements among climate models over regional precipitation changes. Improving understanding of crop responses to temperature and the magnitude of regional temperature projections are concluded to be two of the most important needs for reducing uncertainty in climate change impact assessments and adaptation efforts for
Battisti.2009.science
This article discusses how growing season temperatures by the end of the 21st century will likely exceed the most extreme seasonal temperatures recorded from 1900 to 2006, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Using output from 23 global climate models, the authors calculate there is over a 90% probability of this occurring. They argue this poses risks to global food security as extreme heat can significantly reduce agricultural productivity. The article examines historical examples of damage caused by extreme seasonal heat and argues these short-term events may become long-term trends without sufficient investments in adaptation.
Schlenker.lobell.2010.erl
This study examines the potential impacts of climate change on agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa through 2050. The authors analyze historical crop yield and weather data from 1961-2006 for maize, sorghum, millet, groundnuts and cassava using panel regression models. The models relate crop yields to temperature and precipitation variables. Applying projected mid-century climate changes to the historical weather data, the authors estimate reductions in total production for the crops by 2050 ranging from -8% to -22%, with most estimates falling between -17% to -18%. Uncertainty ranges are also provided showing a 95% probability that damages exceed 7% for all crops except cassava. Countries with higher average yields face larger projected losses,

The International Food Policy Research Institute's 2011 Global Food Policy Report analyzes major developments in global food policy in 2011. Key developments include:
1) Agriculture and food security rose to the top of development agendas as investments increased from countries, international organizations, and private groups.
2) Volatile food prices remained a challenge as staple grain reserves were low and a few countries dominated exports, though prices fell in the second half of 2011 due to good harvests and a stronger dollar.
3) Interconnected challenges around agriculture, nutrition, health, climate change, and natural resources received more recognition, though further action is still needed to address issues like the 2011 famine in the Horn of Africa.
Fiddling with soil_carbon_markets
i. There is no existing market for soil carbon credits. A market requires rules establishing incentives for polluters to buy offsets, but key provisions of the Kyoto Protocol may lapse in 2012, undermining carbon markets. Developed countries' weak emission targets also mean little global demand for offsets.
ii. Voluntary markets are unlikely to provide significant finance for soil carbon projects. Scientific uncertainty around measuring soil carbon, plus its non-permanence, mean credits have much lower value than other offsets.
iii. Even if revenues are generated, most will not reach smallholder farmers. Measuring and verifying soil carbon requires substantial investment. Project developers and technicians, not farmers, will retain most revenues to
Kyoto
Developed and developing countries disagreed on the future of the Kyoto Protocol at climate talks in Bonn. Canada, Russia, and Japan will not commit to a second commitment period. Developing countries insist a second commitment period is needed. Developed countries want commitments from all major emitters, including developing countries. The talks highlighted differences on the legal form of future commitments and whether technical discussions should begin before political issues are resolved.

Climate change is projected to negatively impact food security in sub-Saharan Africa. A study using comprehensive climate change models found that cereal production in the region will decline 3.2% by 2050 due to lower yields from increasing temperatures and changing rainfall patterns. Food prices are also projected to rise significantly, reducing food affordability and calorie availability. Child malnutrition levels in the region, which were expected to decline, will instead increase due to the effects of climate change on agriculture. Agricultural adaptation will be critical to counteracting these impacts and ensuring future food security in sub-Saharan Africa.

This study examines how future climate change and land use change may impact food security in East Africa through 2050. It uses regional climate and crop models at a high resolution to capture local variability. The models project that greenhouse gas emissions will make the region warmer and wetter on average, but yield impacts will be heterogeneous across landscapes due to factors like topography. Land use change from converting forests and grasslands to additional cropland is also projected to significantly impact yields. The results suggest a wide range of projected crop yields across East Africa, reflecting uncertainty in how climate and land use may affect food production risks at local scales. Considering spatial variability is important for assessing food security and adaptation strategies in the region.

Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
