A Plus for Pulses: Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation for Sustainable Intensificatio...ICARDA
The document summarizes challenges and opportunities for sustainable intensification in drylands through symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) in pulses. It discusses how SNF can help address issues like excess nitrogen in the environment, slow productivity growth of pulses, and lack of alternatives to unsustainable fertilizer use. While SNF is sensitive to stresses like drought, opportunities exist to improve yields through breeding, agronomy, and integrated soil management. Research on SNF physiology and genetics, as well as holistic approaches involving farmers, could help realize untapped potential for increasing pulses' role in cropping systems under climate change.

The document discusses the potential for aquaculture in the MENA region to meet the demand for animal source foods. It notes that aquaculture is the only option for increasing the supply of fish, as capture fisheries production has stagnated. Egypt currently produces the most aquaculture in the region, with tilapia as the dominant species farmed. Aquaculture has increased Egypt's per capita fish supply and contributed to food and nutrition security by providing an affordable source of protein and nutrients. The document argues Egypt has high potential to further contribute to regional food security through continued aquaculture growth.
Production systems for the future: balancing trade-offs between food producti...Joanna Hicks
The document discusses balancing trade-offs between food production, environment, livelihoods, and efficiency in future production systems. It notes the need to feed a growing population while maintaining or reducing environmental impacts. Mixed crop-livestock systems currently produce much of the world's food but face increasing pressures from population growth, urbanization, and rising demand for food and livestock products. Sustainable intensification of these systems will be important to close yield gaps while improving efficiency. Trade-offs between different outcomes need to be considered at farm and broader scales.

Global Pulse Scenario: Consumption, Production and TradeICARDA
Global pulse consumption is increasing but per capita consumption is declining. Production is around 72 million tons annually from 80 million hectares, with the top five pulses (dry beans, chickpeas, dry peas, cowpeas, and lentils) accounting for about 80% of production. Yields are increasing in developed countries but stagnant in developing countries, where most pulses are grown. Trade in pulses is growing and around 12 million tons annually, with developed countries exporting 65% and developing countries importing 82%. Future outlook predicts global pulse demand to increase by 10-23% by 2030, requiring a doubling of yields or additional area to meet demand.
Sustainable extensification: Breathing new life to Africa's sleeping giantafrica-rising
This document summarizes scenarios for improving agriculture in Bougouni, Mali through sustainable extensification. The region has high potential for agriculture but farmers currently struggle with poverty. Simple scenarios were modeled to explore optimizing crop allocation at current and expanded land areas. Intensification and land expansion improved food security and income, allowing some farms to escape extreme poverty. However, the scenarios provide only a rapid prototype and do not fully redesign dysfunctional systems. A holistic approach is needed considering other factors like livestock and non-farm income.
This report summarizes the global meat market and opportunities for Pakistani meat exporters. The global red meat trade has grown significantly, though Pakistan's exports are low at 30,000 tonnes annually. Key target markets identified are Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Malaysia due to growing demand, import reliance, and Pakistan's competitive advantages in production costs and shipping times. Pakistan has large livestock populations and the potential to be a major meat exporter.
This document provides a high-level summary of the fertilizer industry, with a focus on nitrogen fertilizers which are most relevant for Yara International. It describes the essential role of fertilizers in modern food production and the value of the main nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for crops. It also discusses industrial fertilizer production processes and the global market dynamics including consumption trends by region and crop.
The document discusses India's fertilizer pricing policy. It notes that six major fertilizers are produced in India including urea, DAP, and others. Urea production and pricing is strictly controlled by the government, which subsidizes production costs and transportation to ensure uniform prices nationwide. The government also subsidizes imports when needed. While other fertilizers were decontrolled in 1992, the government introduced subsidy schemes to keep prices reasonable and encourage consumption.
The presentation is by P Kumar, IARI and P K Joshi, IFPRI from the one day workshop on ‘Pulses for Nutrition in India: Changing Patterns from Farm-to-Fork’ organized on Jan 14, 2014. The workshop is based on a few studies conducted by the International Food Policy Research Institute under the CGIAR’s Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health. These studies covered the entire domain of pulse sector in India from production to consumption, prices to trade, processing to value addition, and from innovations to the role of private sector in strengthening the entire pulse value chain. These studies were designed to better understand the drivers of changing dynamics of pulses in the value chain from farm-to-fork, and explore opportunities for meeting their availability through increased production, enhanced trade and improved efficiency.

The document discusses the performance of Ethiopia's livestock sector and challenges. It notes that livestock contributes significantly to the economy and demand is growing, yet productivity remains low. The government has implemented policies and programs to improve feed, health, breeding and marketing. While adoption of technologies and productivity of milk, eggs and honey have increased over time, productivity overall is still below potential and institutional support needs strengthening.
This document discusses enhancing food security in Arab countries through increased crop and livestock productivity using science and technology. It outlines challenges like water scarcity, degradation, and climate change facing the region. Sources of increased food production are discussed, including intensification, increasing arable land and cropping intensity. The document then describes applications of science and technology for sustainable intensification and coping with climate change implications. It proposes a CGIAR research program and concludes that partnerships applying improved technologies can enhance regional food security.
Iran has achieved self-sufficiency in wheat production for the first time in 40 years due to adopting effective soil and crop management practices combined with improved wheat varieties. Key factors contributing to this success include selecting the right strategies through policy coordination, integrating agronomy, crop breeding, and policies, releasing high-yielding varieties, considering water use efficiency and productivity, developing pressurized irrigation systems, adopting conservation agriculture techniques, and guaranteeing market prices for wheat. However, drought, heat, cold, diseases, pests, and weeds remain challenges. Research priorities to further increase production include improving agronomic practices, applying physiology in breeding, developing durable rust resistance, and biotechnology tools like MAS.
This document discusses strategies for increasing agricultural productivity, climate change adaptation, and greenhouse gas mitigation in Kenyan agriculture. It finds that many land management practices can provide "triple wins" by increasing yields and profits, reducing production variability to help farmers adapt to climate change, and increasing carbon sequestration in soils to mitigate climate change. Modeling of practices like improved residues, fertilizer use, fallow rotations, water harvesting, and livestock feeding show increases in soil organic carbon levels and maize yields. Integrated packages of practices generally improve profits the most. However, some arid area strategies have costs that outweigh benefits. Maintaining 75% of residues can sequester more carbon but is less profitable than removing 50%
The document provides tips for corporations on why they should participate in social media, with a focus on Latin America. It discusses 10 key reasons to use social media in Latin America, including the rapid growth of internet users in the region, higher than global average social media penetration, the influence of the internet on purchase decisions, and the significant presence of Latin American countries among top global users of platforms like Facebook and Twitter. The document aims to help corporations understand why social media engagement is important for business in Latin America.

Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, mollusks, crustaceans and aquatic plants. It involves organized production in aquatic environments through various methods ranging from extensive to intensive. The objectives of aquaculture include producing nutritious food, generating income and employment, utilizing land and water resources efficiently, and producing ornamental fish. Common aquaculture systems include pond culture, cage and pen culture, and monoculture or polyculture of various aquatic species.

This document analyzes price transmissions in small-scale and large-scale fishery and aquaculture value chains in 14 countries. It finds that small-scale fishers and farmers receive smaller economic benefits compared to other players. Processors and retailers have stronger bargaining power. The document makes policy recommendations to help small-scale actors obtain prices and margins allowing long-term sustainability. It analyzed value chains through country reports on methodology, findings and recommendations. A section focuses on women's roles. Overall, it recommends increased support for small-scale organizations, consistent pricing, marketing promotion and exploring new markets. Sustainable management and regulations are necessary to sustain small-scale value chains while ensuring food security.
Impacts of agriculture, aquaculture on environmentSaad Sair
This document discusses the environmental impacts of agriculture and aquaculture. It notes that while farming can help environments when sustainably practiced, unsustainable practices pose major threats. Key impacts include habitat loss from land conversion, wasteful water consumption, soil erosion, various forms of pollution, contributions to climate change, and loss of genetic diversity. For aquaculture, the document outlines impacts such as destruction of habitats, overexploitation of wild juveniles, water depletion and salinization, disease issues, waste impacts on water quality, and effects of escaped farmed fish.
Aquaculture has been practiced for over 2500 years and originated in China, Egypt, India or other countries. It is defined as the production of fish through farming or rearing in confined waters. Major classifications of aquaculture include based on habitat, water flow, culture organism, culture method, culture system, and purpose. Trends in India include freshwater aquaculture of crustaceans, fish, and ornamental fish as well as saltwater aquaculture of shrimp and crabs. Global fish consumption has nearly doubled in the last 45 years from 9.01 kg/capita in 1961 to 17.1 kg/capita in 2007, driven by population growth and preferences for fish as an affordable source of protein
Livestock and global change: Towards a sustainable and equitable livestock se...ILRI
This document discusses balancing trade-offs in the livestock sector between food production, efficiency, livelihoods, and the environment. It notes that livestock occupy a large amount of global land and water resources and account for a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions. However, livestock also provide important economic and nutritional benefits globally. Going forward, more sustainable and equitable livestock systems will be needed to meet increasing demand for livestock products while minimizing environmental impacts. Intensification of production could allow for higher output with fewer animals and less land expansion, but trade-offs would need to be carefully considered.
The global livestock sector: Opportunities and challengesILRI
The global livestock sector faces many challenges in sustainably meeting the growing demand for food while balancing trade-offs between efficiency, livelihoods, and the environment. Key issues include climate change, water and land scarcity, disease risks, and debates around large versus small-scale production systems. Addressing these complex challenges will require reliable assessments of hard trade-offs and achieving equity across scales from local to global.
The document discusses the synergies between climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies in Sub-Saharan Africa's agriculture sector. It finds that agriculture practices can both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help farmers adapt to climate impacts. Many common practices provide benefits for mitigation, adaptation, and income generation. However, Africa's potential for agricultural mitigation is currently not realized due to barriers like high transaction costs and lack of institutional support. The document calls for continued pilot programs and capacity building to better integrate adaptation and mitigation in Sub-Saharan African agriculture.

Synergies Between Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change:What is the pot...Claudia Ringler
This presentation describes first how climate change compromises food security and then explains the role of agriculture in greenhouse gas emissions. The crux is what
synergies exist between adaptation and mitigation, with recommendations for implementation.
This document discusses the role of livestock in food security, climate change, and resource use. It notes that livestock accounts for about 24% of global greenhouse gas emissions and that beef has the highest GHG intensity of various animal proteins. Rising incomes in developing countries are driving increased consumption of meat and dairy. Meeting future global food demand will require boosting productivity while reducing losses and limiting new agricultural land clearing and conversion to pasture. Improving the sustainability and efficiency of livestock production systems worldwide can help address these challenges.
The document discusses several challenges related to global food security:
1) Food production places huge demands on land, water, and environmental resources while also being a major polluter.
2) Global population and economic growth are increasing demand for food substantially by 2050 while constraints on expanding agricultural land limit supply growth.
3) Climate change is increasing weather extremes and variability, threatening global food production.
4) More sustainable agricultural practices are needed to increase production while reducing environmental impacts, but there are no simple solutions and trade-offs often exist between farming and ecology. Both supply-side improvements and demand-side changes will be important to achieving global food security.

This document discusses the potential for insects as a source of protein for feed, food, and pharmaceuticals. It notes that the global population is growing and meat consumption is increasing, putting pressure on traditional livestock production. Insects require less land and water than traditional livestock and can use organic waste as a feedstock. Insects are a nutritious protein source comparable to meat and can be produced at a large scale economically. The document argues that developing an industrial insect industry could help meet growing global protein demand in a sustainable way.
This document discusses the potential benefits of biofuels for reducing poverty and addresses concerns about biofuels and food security, climate change, water usage, and biodiversity. It argues that biofuels could provide income and employment for rural poor through expanding crop production, and that impacts could be minimized by using non-food crops and sustainable farming techniques. Concerns about biofuels impacting food prices, water, and deforestation are complex issues that require considering population growth and alternative livelihoods.
This document discusses the potential benefits of biofuels for reducing poverty and addresses concerns about biofuels and food security, climate change, water usage, and biodiversity. It argues that biofuels could provide income and employment for rural poor if produced from alternative crops that require less water and can be grown in marginal lands. Concerns about biofuels impacting food prices or deforestation are minimized if multiple-use crops are used and smallholder production employs conservation agriculture techniques on underutilized lands.
This document discusses food waste in developed and developing countries. Some key points:
- 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted globally per year, worth $750 billion and equal to 1/3 of food produced. Developing countries waste more during production (54%) while developed countries waste more during consumption (46%).
- Per capita, Europeans and North Americans waste 280-300kg/year while those in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia waste 120-170kg/year.
- Solutions proposed to reduce waste in developing countries include improving post-harvest handling, storage, irrigation efficiency, and harnessing solar energy for small farms. Barriers to reducing waste include access to new technologies and financial/

It finds that doubling food production while reducing agricultural greenhouse gas emissions by 73% by 2050 will be a major challenge. It compares the life cycle impacts of plant-based meats made from soy, pea, and wheat proteins and oils, as well as pork and beef. The results show that the crop type and source country of the core protein ingredient drives the environmental performance of plant-based meats. The document provides sustainability guidelines for sourcing ingredients from regions with low deforestation risk and irrigation needs, using renewable energy in production, and avoiding coal power.
This document summarizes a case study on the dairy value chain in China. It finds that milk production and consumption have significantly increased in China from 1978 to 2018. Large-scale dairy farms now dominate production. The study evaluates greenhouse gas emissions from different stages and finds feed production is a major contributor. It models options to reduce the carbon footprint, finding improving feed practices and yield have high potential. Land use is also assessed, with soybean meal requiring significant land. Recommendations include changing feeds to lower land and carbon impacts.
This document summarizes information on the impacts of livestock production globally and in Asia. It finds that livestock occupies one third of global cropland and one quarter of ice-free land for pastures. Asia accounts for 32% of global enteric greenhouse gas emissions from livestock, with most emissions coming from India, China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Rapid growth of livestock production in Asia is contributing to water and air pollution through nutrient runoff and emissions. The document discusses opportunities for public and private investment in more sustainable and climate-friendly livestock systems through technologies, monitoring, plant-based alternatives, and policies to guide intensification.
Presentation by Han Soethoudt, Jan Broeze, and Heike Axmann of Wageningen University & Resaearch (WUR).
WUR and Olam Rice Nigeria conducted a controlled experiment in Nigeria in which mechanized rice harvesting and threshing were introduced on smallholder farms. The result of the study shows that mechanization considerably reduces losses, has a positive impact on farmers’ income, and the climate.

Presentation on the rapid evidence review findings and key take away messages.
Current evidence for biodiversity and agriculture to achieve and bridging gaps in research and investment to reach multiple global goals.
The document evaluates how climate services provided to farmers in Rwanda through programs like Participatory Integrated Climate Services for Agriculture (PICSA) and Radio Listeners’ Clubs (RLC) have impacted women and men differently, finding that the programs have increased women's climate knowledge and participation in agricultural decision making, leading to perceived benefits like higher incomes, food security, and ability to cope with climate risks for both women and men farmers.
This document provides an introduction to climate-smart agriculture (CSA) in Busia County, Kenya. It defines CSA and its three objectives of sustainably increasing agricultural productivity and income, adapting and building resilience to climate change, and reducing and/or removing greenhouse gas emissions. It discusses CSA at the farm and landscape scales and provides examples of CSA practices and projects in Kenya. It also outlines Kenya's response to CSA through policies and programs. The document describes prioritizing CSA options through identifying the local context, available options, relevant outcomes, evaluating evidence on options' impacts, and choosing best-bet options based on the analysis.
1) The document outlines an action plan to scale research outputs from the EC LEDS project in Vietnam. It identifies key activities to update livestock feed databases and software, improve feeding management practices, develop policies around carbon tracking and subsidies, and raise awareness of stakeholders.
2) The plan's main goals are to strengthen national feed resources, update the PC Dairy software, build greenhouse gas inventory systems, and adopt standards to reduce emissions in agriculture and the livestock industry.
3) Key stakeholders involved in implementing the plan include the Department of Livestock Production, universities, and ministries focused on agriculture and the environment.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
