Three key points from the document:
1. Large areas of land in Asia, particularly China and India, are experiencing degradation from factors like accelerated soil erosion from agriculture. This contributes to high global sediment loads discharged into oceans.
2. Many regions in India are experiencing widespread deficiencies in micronutrients and secondary nutrients important for agriculture due to issues like nutrient depletion and inappropriate management practices.
3. Community-based watershed management approaches can help address problems of land degradation, poverty, and water scarcity when designed and implemented through a collaborative approach focused on sustainability, equity, participation, and capacity building.

Strengthening Health Systems: From Global to Local
There is conceptual confusion around health system strengthening (HSS) with multiple approaches being taken. This can lead to fragmentation and lack of agreed upon standards. However, the multiplicity of approaches also allows responsiveness to differing local contexts. Going forward it will be important to embrace more nationally-driven HSS agendas with support for national capacity. National commitment and leadership on HSS may be more important than global funding. Research needs to be more locally-driven and responsive to build an evidence base. Country ownership can motivate local researchers and facilitate links to policymakers.

This document summarizes experiences using innovation platforms and value chain approaches to improve year-round feed availability for dairy cattle in Tanzania. It finds that forage establishment is often neglected compared to food crops, despite livestock's potential to increase whole farm productivity. Innovation platforms and value chain approaches helped introduce, evaluate, and promote improved forages like Napier grass. Key factors driving farmers' adoption of improved forages were feed shortages and economic gains, while maintaining adoption were increased forage demand and accumulated benefits from higher animal numbers and milk sales. The study assessed farmers' preferences for forage attributes to inform future upscaling efforts.
