The document discusses the marginal productivity theory of resource demand. It explains that under pure competition, the demand for a resource is determined by the marginal revenue product (MRP) of that resource. The MRP is equal to the change in total revenue from selling the additional output produced by one more unit of the resource. Under the rule of marginal decision making, resources will be employed up to the point where the marginal revenue product (MRP) equals the marginal resource cost (MRC). The document also provides an example of how MRP can be depicted as a demand schedule for a resource under pure competition.

The Cereals Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) aims to reverse the decline in cereal yield growth, reduce hunger and malnutrition, and increase food and income security in South Asia over the next decade. It will pursue this through an integrated approach including delivery of new technologies through partnerships, development of future cereal-based cropping systems, and cereal breeding programs for rice, wheat and maize. Key activities will include establishing delivery hubs across South Asia to disseminate seeds, agronomic practices and post-harvest technologies. The initiative is funded by multiple donors and implemented through partnerships between international agricultural research centers and national agricultural institutions.
The document summarizes efforts to map and align investments by the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) and the CGIAR. It presents a prototype database to characterize and index agricultural investments by theme, location, commodity, and other attributes. The prototype allows users to search, compare and relate different investments. It finds that investment plans vary in detail and terminology, but a standardized process can improve data harmonization. The way forward includes gaining stakeholder buy-in, expanding the technical support team, and establishing implementation guidelines and best practices.
This document summarizes discussions around enhancing alignment between investments planned through CAADP and CGIAR programs.

Can corporate farms provide new pathways to improve profitability and product...Joanna Hicks
Corporate farms may provide new pathways to improve family farm productivity and profitability. While agricultural productivity growth is flattening, corporate farms tend to be 12-28% more productive due to greater access to human, financial, and natural capital that enables innovation adoption. Hybrid farm models that combine advantages of family and corporate structures, such as collaborative farming arrangements, could help average family farms overcome constraints by improving efficiencies, specialization, and bargaining power. Further research is needed to identify attributes of hybrid models that would appeal to typical family farms.
This document discusses using GIS and economic data to analyze economic development. It begins by defining economic development as retaining, expanding, and attracting jobs, income, and wealth in a way that improves lives. It then discusses how GIS can be used to analyze asset mapping, business attraction/retention, market research, and labor markets. Specific examples are given of using GIS to analyze customer profiles and supply chains. The document advocates using spatial analysis to examine industry clusters and relationships between different economic sectors.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
Ocean lotus Threat actors project by John Sitima 2024 (1).pptxSitimaJohn
Ocean Lotus cyber threat actors represent a sophisticated, persistent, and politically motivated group that poses a significant risk to organizations and individuals in the Southeast Asian region. Their continuous evolution and adaptability underscore the need for robust cybersecurity measures and international cooperation to identify and mitigate the threats posed by such advanced persistent threat groups.

Rapid livestock feed assessment tools to support intervention strategies: FEAST and Techfit
1. Rapid livestock feed assessment
tools to support intervention
strategies: FEAST and Techfit
Alan Duncan
FAO West Africa Regional Workshop on Crop Residues, Dakar,
10-13 December 2012
2. Mixed systems
Interactions between crops and
livestock
Crop residues are substantial
component of livestock diets
Feeding of livestock needs to take
account of arable realities:
competition for land, free grazing in
off season etc.
3. Challenges to improved
feed supply
Food security
Land scarcity/tenure
Markets for livestock products
Free grazing
Traction a sink for feed
4. The way ahead
Things are changing
– Dwindling grazing resources forcing
other feed sources to be considered
– Urbanization leading to increased
demand for livestock products
– Improving infrastructure
– Are we about to see things moving?
5. Feed interventions often
do not work – why?
Failure to place feed in
broader livelihood context
FEAST
Lack of farmer design and
ownership
Neglect of how
interventions fit the
context: land, labour, cash, Techfit
knowledge etc
7. Feed assessment
Conventionally focuses on:
– The feeds
– Their nutritive value
– Ways of improving nutritive value
FEAST broadens assessment:
– Is livestock an important livelihood strategy?
– How important are feed problems relative to
other problems?
– What about labour, input availability, credit,
seasonality, markets for products etc.?
8. How does FEAST work?
• Overview of farming system and
livestock feed aspect
1. PRA • Milk marketing, veterinary services
Exercise • Major problems for livestock
production
• Quantitative information on crop-
2. livestock production, feed
Individual availability, feeding rations
farmer • Qualitative information - perception
survey on feed quality
3. Data • Enter data in FEAST template
analysis and • Based on result develop ideas for
developing intervention
interventions
9. PRA
General description of farming system
– range of farm sizes,
– farm labour availability
– annual rainfall pattern
– irrigation availability
– types of animals raised by households.
General description of livestock production
– the types of animals raised (% of households raising
these animals and average herd/flock sizes)
– the purpose of raising these animals (e.g. draught,
income, fattening, calf production)
– the general animal husbandry (including; management,
veterinary services and reproduction).
– Ease of access to credit
– How available are necessary inputs – plastic, urea,
concentrates etc
Problem identification and potential solutions
10. Quantitative questionnaire
Animals – livestock inventory
Crops - yields and areas to derive crop residue availability
Cultivated forages – yields and areas
Collected fodder: proportion of diet
Purchased feed
Grazing: proportion of diet
Contributors to household income
Production.
– Milk production
– Sale of livestock
Seasonality.
– Feed supply: overall seasonal availability
– What is fed in different months?
