Presented by Fiona Flintan at the workshop on Pastoralism in the Current of Global Changes (P2CG): Stakes, Challenges and Prospects, Dakar, 20-24 November 2017
Free webinar on " Agroforestry to soil and Water conservation "
Soil conservation is key to environmental sustainability: It helps protect natural resources and watersheds, restores habitats for plants and wildlife, improves water quality and makes soil healthier. Soil conservation also creates economic opportunity.
Purpose:
The purpose of this webinar is to bring new knowledge on soil and water conservation under changing climate. Best management practices must be revised and developed to expected changes in climate.
This presentation provides an overview of a field-based practical exercise that allows students in forestry, ecology and natural resources to develop their understanding of forest stand dynamics. The exercise involves measurement of key tree growth parameters in four even-aged, single-species plantation stands of different age but occupying sites with similar soil and environmental characteristics. The selected stands represent key stages in stand development, from establishment to rotation age for fibre production. In the field, students work in small teams to gather data from an equal number of plots within each stand. Tree parameters include top height, crown diameter, live crown ratio and diameter at breast height. In addition, information on stand density and understorey vegetation is collected. Plot size and number can be varied to suit the constraints of class size and available time, though circular plots of 100 m2 are recommended. In the classroom, data are pooled and analysis focuses on presenting tree and vegetation changes through time. The simplest way of interpreting the data is to prepare graphs and charts for each of the parameters, though more advanced statistical interpretations are possible. The project as outlined here can be modified to meet the needs of different groups, and has been successfully used in undergraduate teaching of silviculture and forest ecology, as well as in postgraduate courses in natural resources management.

Seminar of U.V. Spectroscopy by SAMIR PANDASAMIR PANDA
Spectroscopy is a branch of science dealing the study of interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy refers to absorption spectroscopy or reflect spectroscopy in the UV-VIS spectral region.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy is an analytical method that can measure the amount of light received by the analyte.
The increased availability of biomedical data, particularly in the public domain, offers the opportunity to better understand human health and to develop effective therapeutics for a wide range of unmet medical needs. However, data scientists remain stymied by the fact that data remain hard to find and to productively reuse because data and their metadata i) are wholly inaccessible, ii) are in non-standard or incompatible representations, iii) do not conform to community standards, and iv) have unclear or highly restricted terms and conditions that preclude legitimate reuse. These limitations require a rethink on data can be made machine and AI-ready - the key motivation behind the FAIR Guiding Principles. Concurrently, while recent efforts have explored the use of deep learning to fuse disparate data into predictive models for a wide range of biomedical applications, these models often fail even when the correct answer is already known, and fail to explain individual predictions in terms that data scientists can appreciate. These limitations suggest that new methods to produce practical artificial intelligence are still needed.
In this talk, I will discuss our work in (1) building an integrative knowledge infrastructure to prepare FAIR and "AI-ready" data and services along with (2) neurosymbolic AI methods to improve the quality of predictions and to generate plausible explanations. Attention is given to standards, platforms, and methods to wrangle knowledge into simple, but effective semantic and latent representations, and to make these available into standards-compliant and discoverable interfaces that can be used in model building, validation, and explanation. Our work, and those of others in the field, creates a baseline for building trustworthy and easy to deploy AI models in biomedicine.

Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Solutions for managing and protecting rangelands: Ongoing research and innovations through R4D
1. Solutions for managing and protecting
rangelands: Ongoing research and innovations
through R4D
Fiona Flintan and Polly Ericksen
Pastoralism in the Current of Global Changes (P2CG): Stakes, Challenges
and Prospects, Dakar, 20-24 November 2017
3. Pastoral land tenure systems: characteristics
• Lack of data and maps on land tenure systems in
rangelands globally (or even nationally).
• Majority held under communal land tenure systems.
• Under pressure from both external and internal forces
– but overall degree of changes unknown.
• Land and resource access highly politicized – a source
of power – wealth, prestige, control, etc.
• Challenge of formalization while maintaining flexiblity.
• Complex layers of tenure – a ‘nested’ approach of
governance.
5. Challenges to securing rangelands and
good management
• Complexity of pastoral land tenure
• Difficult to define boundaries (porous), size, appropriate
entry-point.
• Multiple users & uses – primary, secondary, tertiary
• Non-equilibrium ecosystem dynamics
• Need landscape level, adaptive & nested management
• Bad decisions eroding productivity
• Bush encroachment and invasive species
• Excising of key ‘high productivity’ resources, converting or
over-using them
• Lack of secure access rights or tenure
• Little incentive to invest
• “Land grabbing”
6. CRISIS in terms of access to pastoral
resources and land
• Lack of attention at global levels (unlike forests for example) –
livestock production being challenged e.g. in terms of emissions
and impact on climate change.
• Still a general lack of support of pastoralism as a land use
system at national levels. Decisions about land use made by
non-local land users (models, pre-conceived ideas, carrying
capacities) – lack of truly participatory approaches.
• Continental and regional bodies failing to pressure national
governments to abide by commitments to e.g. AU Framework
on Pastoralism, Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible
Governance of Tenure (VGGT), ECOWAS, EAC, IGAD – closed
borders (Tanzania), blocked mobility, fractured communities.
• Blockages in approval and lack of application of Pastoral Codes
e.g. Cameroon.
7. Crisis in terms of access to pastoral
resources and land
• Increasing conflicts between different land users particularly
at local level (often politicized and manipulated by more
powerful actors) e.g. Ethiopia and Kenya.
8. Crisis in terms of access to pastoral
resources and land
• Solutions focus on limiting pastoral movements – open-
grazing ban in Benue State, Nigeria.
• Weakening in authority of customary institutions – external
and internal challenges. Individual rights vs. communal rights
e.g. issue of women’s rights.
• More supportive governments struggling to find solutions to
communal land tenure but reluctance to give power to the
land owners – pastoralists.
• Failed privatisation and communal schemes e.g. group
ranches and ”trust lands” in Kenya – Community Land Bill.
• Poorly planned ”development” schemes that e.g. invest in
infrastructure including water without considering impact on
wider pastoral landscape; and large-scale schemes e.g.
LAPSSET corridor, East Africa.
9. In response, ILRI is investing in
research for development
(R4D) on land governance, land
use planning and land
restoration in rangelands
10. R4D at global level – ILRI and ILC Rangelands
Initiative
• ILRI working with the International Land Coalition as a
member – coordination of ILC’s Rangelands Initiative global.
A core partnership of ILRI, IFAD, FAO-PKH, UNEP and US-
based Rangelands Partnership.
• Connecting ILC members and partners – To strengthen
community of practice on rangelands-land issues at global
level.
• Mobilising – To build the capacity of ILC members to mobilise
and engage with decision-makers at global levels.
• Influencing – To influencing changes in policy, legislation and
global strategic frameworks.
11. R4D at global level– ILC Rangelands Initiative
and CRPs (Livestock and PIM)
• Increasing attention to rangelands in global forum such as
Committee for Food Security; WB Conference on Land and Poverty;
VGGTs;
• Development of indictors and matrix for measuring land tenure
reform at national (global) levels (with ICARDA);
• Campaign for IYR&P;
• Developing global statement on land tenure in rangelands –
including feeding information to LANDMARK (platform for mapping
community lands), and Land Portal Foundation (Rangelands Tenure
page). Documentation and mapping of land tenure in rangelands.
• Working with UNEP on a gap analysis on rangelands (building on
success of Resolution on sustainable pastoralism and rangelands at
UNEA 2016).
• Influencing international partners to pay more attention to
rangelands & land; and supporting ILC RI Africa, Asia and LACs.
• Improving understanding and appreciation of livestock as a food
production and land use system.
12. R4D on land governance and land use planning
in Kenya
• Working with National Land Commission - development of annex
to County Spatial Planning on rangelands & technical toolkit.
• Mapping of livestock routes and grazing areas – aim to assist
counties to test the development of cross-county agreements.
13. R4D on land governance and land use planning
in Kenya
• Working with large conservation-driven organisations or NGOs, and
projects to better understand pastoral and rangeland issues.
• Proving technical support to “participatory rangeland management”
(PRM) as an approach taking lessons from Ethiopia to Kenya and
Tanzania working with national and county/local governments.
• Learning Route of IFAD-Nigeria to Kenya and Tanzania.
14. R4D on land governance and land use
planning in Ethiopia
• Piloting of woreda (district) participatory land
use planning with government in pastoral areas.
15. R4D on land governance and land use
planning in Ethiopia
• Background paper for development of national land use
policy.
• Undertaking of baselines in pastoral areas (x 4 - 6500 HHs) –
with GoE – rich data source.
• Working with WRI on review of PRM (use of satellite imagery,
plus local-level research).
• Strengthening of PRM up-scaling e.g. WB-RPLRP.
• Studies on pastoral women and land (as part of a cross-
CGIAR land governance flagship).
• Definition of a pastoral household and relationship with
social and ecological landscape – implications for aid and
development delivery.
16. Ethiopia: Piloting restoration with local
communities
• Rest over-grazed areas
• Improve exclosures
• Bush thinning in long
dry season
• Selective use of fire
• Re-seeding with
appropriate species
• Monitor
improvements with
communities
17. A different approach to research is
required: R4D
• CGIAR as a whole under pressure to show more R4D and ”impact.”
• Reduced funding sources and changed focus.
• This approach fits with ILRI’s concerns for the crisis in land
governance in pastoral areas.
• By engaging with different actors, research can directly influence
and contribute to positive change.
• Provision of technical support working with these partners is a
good entry point.
• Not without its challenges.
• Always looking for additional partnerships.
