Early experiences of rural development in IndiaArul Actovin
This document discusses early experiments in rural development in India from the pre-independence period to the early 1950s. It describes several key initiatives including the Sriniketan Experiment by Rabindranath Tagore in 1914 to improve villages in various areas such as agriculture, livestock, cooperatives and sanitation. Another important program was the Rural Reconstruction Programme led by Mahatma Gandhi which included initiatives in areas like village industries, education and women's empowerment. After independence, various state-led programs and pilot projects aimed to boost rural development through activities like agricultural demonstrations, infrastructure development and vocational training.
Rural development aims to improve the livelihoods and economic well-being of rural populations. It traditionally focused on agriculture but now also emphasizes education, entrepreneurship, infrastructure and social development. The objectives of rural development are to increase productivity, employment, incomes, health and create new jobs while improving other services. Rural development is important for countries like Bangladesh where most people live in rural areas and the rural economy contributes significantly to GDP. Key elements of rural development in Bangladesh include poverty alleviation, equitable distribution of income/wealth, employment opportunities and local community participation.

Designers and researchers facilitate both projects by supporting local stakeholders and training participants respectively.
Companion Manual for SNAP in Aboriginal CommunitiesPatty Chabbert
This document provides an introduction to a companion manual for implementing the SNAP® (Stop Now and Plan) program in Aboriginal communities. It was created through collaboration between Child Development Institute and Aboriginal partners to ensure cultural safety. The manual is intended to help facilitators increase cultural relevance and responsiveness, and to provide support at each stage of introducing and delivering SNAP® programs in Aboriginal contexts. It emphasizes ongoing learning and adapting to individual community needs and experiences.
Community support plays an important role in students' success according to this document. It discusses how JNV Vizianagaram engages the local community through partnerships with various organizations, community activities at the school, and initiatives to support community development through areas like healthcare, literacy, and sustainable agriculture. Students from JNV Vizianagaram have also undertaken projects to raise awareness on issues like HIV/AIDS and support local tribal communities through information and communication technologies.

Näin me tehtiin foodhub - Uudenmaan ruokaOlli Repo
Lyhyt kuvaus miten Suomen ensimmäinen food hub perustettiin. Kokeilussa oli mukana paikalliset pien- ja luomutilat plus paikalliset kotitaloudet. Lue mitä tehtiin ja ketkä olivat mukana.
Projekti oli osa Sitran kiertotalouden avainaluetta. Projekti toteutti kiertotalouden tiekartan kestävän ruokajärjestelmän painopistettä, ja painopisteen yhtä pilottia: ”Edistetään ruuan yhteisöllistä tuottamista, uusia omistajuusmalleja ja jaettua kuluttamista. Mahdollistaa ruuantuotannon ja ruokaketjujen läpinäkyvyyttä, ruuan jakamista ja ruuan arvostuksen lisääntymistä. Ohjeistetaan ja levitetään uusia omistusmalleja kuten pelto-osuuskuntia. Huomioidaan myös koulutuksellinen näkökulma.”

Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.

Orchestrating the Future: Navigating Today's Data Workflow Challenges with Ai...Kaxil Naik
Navigating today's data landscape isn't just about managing workflows; it's about strategically propelling your business forward. Apache Airflow has stood out as the benchmark in this arena, driving data orchestration forward since its early days. As we dive into the complexities of our current data-rich environment, where the sheer volume of information and its timely, accurate processing are crucial for AI and ML applications, the role of Airflow has never been more critical.
In my journey as the Senior Engineering Director and a pivotal member of Apache Airflow's Project Management Committee (PMC), I've witnessed Airflow transform data handling, making agility and insight the norm in an ever-evolving digital space. At Astronomer, our collaboration with leading AI & ML teams worldwide has not only tested but also proven Airflow's mettle in delivering data reliably and efficiently—data that now powers not just insights but core business functions.
This session is a deep dive into the essence of Airflow's success. We'll trace its evolution from a budding project to the backbone of data orchestration it is today, constantly adapting to meet the next wave of data challenges, including those brought on by Generative AI. It's this forward-thinking adaptability that keeps Airflow at the forefront of innovation, ready for whatever comes next.
The ever-growing demands of AI and ML applications have ushered in an era where sophisticated data management isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. Airflow's innate flexibility and scalability are what makes it indispensable in managing the intricate workflows of today, especially those involving Large Language Models (LLMs).
This talk isn't just a rundown of Airflow's features; it's about harnessing these capabilities to turn your data workflows into a strategic asset. Together, we'll explore how Airflow remains at the cutting edge of data orchestration, ensuring your organization is not just keeping pace but setting the pace in a data-driven future.

15. 4 SCENARIOS
All positive, based on the central
initiator/the changemaker
National Emergency Supply Agency,
schools & the army
SLC, The Central Union of Swedish-speaking
Agricultural Producers in Finland and MTK
Scenario 1
Scenario 2 Present CSAs in the Helsinki Region
Scenario 3
Scenario 4
Neighbourhood associations of Helsinki
16. 1. SCENARIO: The SLC
SLC updates its present strategy and starts acting
on the development of CSA operations in the
vicinity of big cities. By 2031, there is over 300
farmers (3 % of the members) who shift from
specialized intensive farming to diversified organic
production. Thus, the generational turnovers of
smaller farms – which do not have the desire or
resources for big investments – are relieved. MTK
follows SLC’s example applying best practices from
early adopters.
17. 2. SCENARIO: The CSAs in
the Helsinki region
The present CSAs in the Helsinki region unite.
This creates energy and resources causing a
positive spiral of growth. The first paid employee
is hired with project funds from Sitra and the cities
of Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen. A new
significant-sized food co-operative emerges and
Helsingin seudun LuomuOsuusKunta (HLOK) has
over 20 000 active members in 2031 (both
community- e.g. local CSAs - and individual
members).
18. 3. SCENARIO:
Neighbourhood associations in Helsinki
Helsinki Neighborhoods Association Helka ry
becomes aware of the possibilities of local
food production to strengthen its withering
member associations. Together with the City of
Helsinki they start to map out the potential
farmland for the next planning round of the
master plan. 10 new fields are allocated for
urban farming in the new master plan for the
use of new local food co-operatives driven by
the neighborhood associations in 2031.
19. 4. SCENARIO: National Emergency
Support Agency
The National Emergency Support Agency use the
CSA’s to build a tested, scalable concept for local
organic food production. The concept does not require
imported fertilizers and other chemicals in case of an
emergency caused by an environmental meltdown,
new pandemic or economic or political instability.
Pilot subscribers include the Army and Finnish schools
who not only use the crop but also teach basic skills
for growing organic food locally.
20. STORYBOARD: NETWORKING
*Mycelium – the vegetative part of a fungus, consisting
of a network of fine white filaments (hyphae)
At micro level CSAs do not collaborate
with each other.
At macro level there are few
connections as well.
Mycelium is growing and developing.
At micro level CSAs cooperate with
each other.
At macro level CSAs connect to
Helsinki Neighbourhood Association,
City of Helsinki. etc.
Potential funders are invited to Gala.
During the event networking between
funders and CSAs.
Current situation Preferable future
21. ● Yearly CSA harvest feast for all Finnish CSA
members and main stakeholders
● Arrange a “single day” at CSAs (i.e not a
“family day”)
● Find CSA godfathers and godmothers at
local schools and universities and on a
national level
● Organizing CSA host families for students
QUICK
EXPERIMENTS
● Train CSA members to act as ambassadors in their workplaces,
schools, hobbies & acquaintance networks as one kind of a co-op task
● Find a volunteer lobbyist/communication specialist at
Kumppanuusmaatalous ry
● Get funding for Kumppanuusmaatalous ry from crowdfunding, SITRA,
Kone, EU LEADER…
● Winter courses on recruiting, crowdfunding, cooking, planting,
gardening etc
22. The Partnership Agriculture Gala is
organised yearly in the end of a
harvest season
A Sourdough Cup is given to the
hosting CSA of the year
TA-DAA!!
The sourdough is to be taken care of
by the host CSA throughout the year
Breaking bread
(sharing a meal, “brotherhood”,
fosters connection and cooperation)
To be repeated and the
sourdough passed on in
2022
