Cattle in sustainable, healthy food systems: Perspectives from Africa

ILRI

Cattle play an important economic and cultural role in Africa. Africa is home to 360 million cattle, with Ethiopia and Kenya having the largest populations. Cattle are raised on small farms and vast rangelands, with about one third of African rangelands used for livestock production. While cattle provide meat, they also have multiple functions for livelihoods across Africa. However, changes are needed to sustainably meet the growing demand for beef, contribute to development, and mitigate environmental and social harms. Interventions to improve genetics, health, feeding, markets, and input delivery could significantly boost cattle productivity across Africa.

Better lives through livestock

ILRI

Jimmy Smith, Director General of ILRI, outlines the importance of livestock to developing economies and proposes ways to double livestock production through better feeds. Livestock represents five of the six most valuable global commodities and production is increasing faster in developing countries. Livestock plays a key role in livelihoods, nutrition, health and ecosystems. The CGIAR could harness new science on feeds, genetics, and management to boost productivity and sustainability, improving food security and reducing poverty and emissions.

Gender Responsive Research

CIAT

1. Gender-responsive research in the CGIAR aims to integrate gender into research priority setting, implementation, and evaluation to foster positive changes in female empowerment. 2. A key challenge is precisely targeting segmented user groups, like different types of male and female farmers, based on their social characteristics and varietal trait preferences. 3. Methods like conjoint analysis can be used to develop a social typology of user groups and identify gender-differentiated preferences for traits in order to prioritize the delivery of new varieties to intended users. 4. Standardizing gender analysis methods across projects would allow identification of priority cross-cutting traits and local traits to target breeding efforts based on the needs of specific gendered user types

ICARDA

This document summarizes findings from a study that assessed the demand and supply of agricultural innovations in Africa to help bridge the gap between research and adoption. The study collected data from farmer organizations, intermediaries, and International Agricultural Research Centers on key crops, livestock and trees. It found that while many innovations addressed major needs like drought-resistant seed, many also required substantial investment for adoption. Face-to-face methods were most used to share innovations, while affordability and access remained challenges, especially for resource-poor farmers. The study provided some matching cases of innovations addressing needs and concluded that while research centers were addressing some key issues, improved accessibility and extension support were still needed.

As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies. In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...

Alex Pruden

Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security. Paper Link: https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/257
