This document outlines a project plan to establish Outstanding Farmers Learning Centers (OUTFARM) in Cambodia. The project aims to transform key farmers into learning centers to develop local communities and improve farmers' technical skills and mindsets. The project will set up 3 OUTFARMs, provide capacity building training to farmers, create integrated farming systems models, and document local wisdom practices. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and General Department of Agriculture will oversee the project's planning, implementation of activities, and financial management with support from other organizations.

Small Farm Resource Centers: Antiquated or Adaptable?Andrea Bohn
The Small Farm Resource Center (SFRC) is a research-extension tool that coordinates trials at a central site, as well on the fields of individual farmers, with the purpose of evaluating, within the community, ideas that have been proven elsewhere. Any new ideas, techniques, crops, or new varieties of a local crop may first be evaluated at the SFRC and promising ideas extended to local farmers with little risk. This adaptive research is done directly by the non-governmental agency (typically missions
organizations and other small institutions) and local farmers and extended to the community.

Session 6 2 Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning: Monitoring Uptake for Impact David Ngome
As the ACAI project shifts focus from research-related activities to dissemination activities, it becomes imperative that different results and targets are achieved, and how these results and targets will be monitored and be known to all stakeholders.
The presentation on ME&L highlighted the results to be achieved, targets to be met and methodologies to monitor number of farmers reached with the DSTs, farmers changing practices through use of the DSTs, and farmers benefiting from use of the DSTs.
Farmers reached will be monitored by aggregation of number of farmers who are aware and gain knowledge of ACAI DST per use case, per DST format and per partner dissemination approach.
Farmers changing practices through use of the DSTs will be monitored through panel surveys, which will be done on annually starting in 2019.
Farmers benefiting from use of the DSTs will be monitored by impact survey, which will be conducted at the end of the project.

Session 6 1 ACAI Work Stream 4 introductionDavid Ngome
This presentation was made by Pieter Pypers and it highlighted the following:
Project outcomes include a target number of extension agents trained on the use of the tools (1,259 extension agents), of which today 758 EAs (60%) have been involved in ACAI activities. Reaching a sufficient number of EAs is essential to have impact. Project outcomes focus on number of HHs benefiting from the tools (120,000) and the value generated through the use of these tools.
Different activities under the WS4 include (i) a second round of validation exercises, (ii) grassroot events, (iii) tool demonstration, (iv) training events, (v) production of training materials, (vi) production of farmer-friendly videos, (vii) promotion events, (viii) awareness campaigns, and (ix) cluster meetings.
The importance of ME&L was emphasized, and the process underlying impact evaluation: the project aims at tracking farmers who were reached, gained insights, continued using the tools, changed their practices and finally benefited. Most important: the project aims to understand what works and what doesn’t.
Timeline of activities: the project aims to conduct a number of sprints to advance the tools in preparation of the use of the tools in Nigeria, starting in April 2020.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
