Agricultural innovation
This document outlines an objectives and methodology for analyzing complex agricultural problems and developing agricultural innovation strategies using the Rapid Appraisal of Agricultural Innovation Systems (RAAIS) tool. The document defines key characteristics of complex agricultural problems as multi-dimensional, multi-level, multi-stakeholder, and highly uncertain. It then describes the RAAIS workshop methodology which involves exercises to identify constraints, opportunities, and entry points for innovation through stakeholder participation. The goal is to facilitate analysis of problems and development of coherent strategies to address them through an agricultural innovation systems approach.

This document discusses the challenges facing agricultural systems due to climate change, shifting consumption patterns, increasing food and energy prices, and land degradation. It notes the transition from cereals to meat and high-value crops requiring more resources. Smallholder farmers play a central role in driving development but face increasing pressures. There is a need to redefine research agendas to address issues like competition over land and environmental services, economic disparities, and poverty. Approaches should focus on smallholders' innovations, systems thinking, collective action, and multi-level economic and social organizations. Capacity building for innovation is needed at the individual, organizational, partnership, and institutional levels.WP2: Feasibility analyses and development of ‘best practice’ criteria

CROP IDEOTYPE CONCEPT- WHEAT, BARLEY, MAIZE AND COTTON
This document discusses crop ideotypes, which are conceptual plant models designed with specific ideal traits. An ideotype is defined as a plant type expected to maximize yield of a desired product. There are three main types of ideotypes: isolation, competition, and crop. When developing an ideotype, breeders consider the target environment, quality factors, agronomic practices, and use simulation models. Ideal traits include efficient resource use, sensitivity to management, and high harvest index. Examples of crop ideotypes described include short-statured, high-tillering rice and wheat ideotypes, and maize ideotypes with efficient photosynthesis and grain filling. The multistep process of ideotype breeding aims to develop cultivars with
Economic consideration of integrated pest management
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an approach that considers multiple tactics to manage pest populations in an economically efficient and ecologically sound manner. There are several economic considerations to IPM, including impacts on individual farmers' costs and incomes, effects on food safety and environmental quality, and implications for the sustainability of agricultural systems. Evaluating the economic effects of IPM requires assessing impacts on producer profits, production costs, risk, as well as valuing non-market environmental benefits. A variety of methods can be used to conduct economic evaluations of IPM techniques and programs.

Reflections on a “systems approach” for Drylands CRP-Brian KeatingCGIAR Research Program on Dryland Systems
- Agriculture is part of a complex "human activity system" with production and management elements embedded within wider environmental and institutional contexts (innovation systems).
- A systems approach to drylands research should focus on problem-solving at the science-practice interface to improve food security, reduce poverty, and enhance resilience. It requires descriptive, predictive and participatory methods including systems analysis and modeling.
- Effective systems research addresses the agricultural livelihood system level while considering the multi-scale interactions within the food system from field to global levels.Farming systems analysis: what have we learnt?.pptx

Fall armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith) is an invasive lepidopteran pest established in most of sub-Saharan Africa since 2016. Although the immediate reaction of governments has been to invest in chemical pesticides, control methods based on agronomic management would be more affordable to resource-constrained smallholders and minimize risks for health and the environment. However, little is known about the most effective agronomic practices that could control FAW under typical African smallholder conditions. In addition, the impact of FAW damage on yield in Africa has been reported as very large, but these estimates are mainly based on farmers’ perceptions, and not on rigorous field scouting methods.
Thus, our objectives were to understand the factors influencing FAW damage in African smallholder maize fields and quantify its impact on yield, using two districts of Eastern Zimbabwe as cases. A total of 791 smallholder maize fields were scouted for FAW damage during the season 2017/18 and the head of the corresponding farming household interviewed. Grain yield was later determined in 167 (about 20%) of these fields. The same FAW damage survey was repeated in 2018/19 with the same farmers. 638 maize fields were thus surveyed (153 farmers didn’t plant maize that season). Grain yield was then determined in 386 (about 60%) of these fields.
FAW damage was found to be significantly reduced by rotation with a legume or a fallow, legume intercropping, minimum- or zero-tillage, balanced fertilization, the application of manure and/or compost, frequent weeding and early planting, during at least one of the season under study. Conversely, the presence of a hedgerow and pumpkin intercropping was found to significantly increase FAW damage (during both seasons). FAW damage appeared significantly higher in plots receiving pesticides (during both season), suggesting poor efficacy of the pesticides or application method used. We also found evidence of varietal effects on FAW damage during both seasons.
Our best estimate of the impact of FAW damage on yield was 11.57% in 2017/18, which is much lower than what previous studies reported. Although our study presents limitations, losses due to FAW damage in Africa could have been over-estimated. In 2018/19, however, our estimate of FAW damage was double the 2017/18 estimate (22.37%), possibly because of an interaction between FAW and drought.
This study demonstrates the viability of using agronomic management to control FAW in African smallholder conditions. It is guiding on-going work from CIMMYT and its partners to develop the most cost-effective practices. These include zero-tillage, push-pull and pheromone trapping in irrigated maize. Preliminary results from this empirical work are presented.

Fall armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith) is an invasive lepidopteran pest established in most of sub-Saharan Africa since 2016. Although, the immediate reaction of governments has been to invest in chemical pesticides, control methods based on agronomic management would be more affordable to resource-constrained smallholders and minimize risks for health and the environment. However, little is known about the most effective agronomic practices that could control FAW in typical African smallholder conditions. In addition, the impact of FAW on yield in Africa has been reported as very large, but these estimates are largely based on farmers’ perceptions, but not on rigorous field scouting methods. Thus, the objectives of this study were to understand the factors conditioning FAW infestation in African smallholder maize fields and quantify its impact on yield, using two Districts of Eastern Zimbabwe as cases. 791 smallholder maize plots were scouted for FAW and the head of the corresponding farming household interviewed. Grain yield was later determined in about 20% of these fields. FAW infestation was found to be significantly reduced by weed control – either through herbicides or through frequent weeding operations – and through minimum- and zero-tillage. Conversely, pumpkin intercropping was found to significantly increase FAW infestation. Some maize varieties also appeared more susceptible that others to FAW infestation. Although the infestation levels recorded in this research (35 to 48%, depending on the proxy of infestation used) are commensurate with infestation levels found by other studies conducted on the continent, our best estimate of the impact of this infestation on yield (9.14%) is much lower than what these studies found. Although our study presents limitations, losses due to FAW in Africa could have been over-estimated. The threat that FAW represents for African smallholders, although very real, should not divert attention away from other pressing challenges they face.
Land sharing vs sparing: views from an agronomist
1. The document discusses the limitations of the land sparing vs land sharing framework, arguing it focuses too much on tradeoffs and yield without considering synergies between agriculture and biodiversity or farmers' objectives.
2. Forests can provide direct contributions to rural livelihoods and indirect contributions to crop productivity, livestock productivity, and nutrition through a variety of ecosystem services.
3. Both high- and low-input agriculture can maintain ecosystem services if spillover effects are managed and biodiversity is valued through supportive markets and policies.
CIMMYT Ethiopia Technologies
This document provides an overview of technologies developed, tested, and promoted by CIMMYT Ethiopia to improve smallholder agriculture. It summarizes several technologies including conservation agriculture to conserve soil and water, precision agriculture to optimize fertilizer use, relay cropping to increase production, agroforestry to provide suitable microclimates, and pest management approaches. It also discusses small-scale mechanization, post-harvest handling, nutrition-sensitive landscapes, participatory variety selection, and bringing research into use through co-learning and scaling up. The document contains graphs and data supporting the effectiveness of these technologies in Ethiopia.
Two-wheel tractor, conservation agriculture and private sector involvement
This document discusses a project aimed at improving smallholder farmer access to mechanization in Eastern and Southern Africa through the use of two-wheeled tractors (2WTs). The project goals are to reduce labor drudgery and minimize trade-offs between biomass and productivity. It operates in 4 countries with a budget of $6 million from various partners. The document discusses challenges like labor shortages and analyzes myths around mechanization. It argues that conservation agriculture using 2WTs can increase efficiency and proposes various business models to commercialize small mechanization services.
Conservation Agriculture and Sustainable Intensification in SSA: overcoming c...
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for conservation agriculture (CA) in Ethiopia. It identifies six main challenges: 1) competition with livestock for biomass, 2) lack of appropriate seeding implements, 3) increased pest incidence, 4) managing water, 5) managing nitrogen, and 6) converting retained resources into productivity gains. It then provides examples of ways to address each challenge through various techniques and innovations such as dual-purpose maize varieties, mechanized seeding, pest-suppressive landscapes, permanent raised beds, precision agriculture, and improved water and nitrogen management. The conclusion advocates for a more client-based, holistic approach that combines technologies across multiple scales through an iterative process.
Revisiting the Borlaug hypothesis
The document discusses revisiting Norman Borlaug's hypothesis of "land sparing" in the context of managing agriculture and biodiversity. It summarizes Borlaug's contributions to the Green Revolution and the land sparing approach. However, it notes limitations to land sparing and discusses alternatives like "land sharing" that integrate agriculture and natural habitat. The document advocates moving beyond the land sparing vs sharing debate to consider producing differently, beyond the plot scale, supporting biodiversity through markets and policy, and creating multifunctional landscape mosaics.
Is livestock a thret or an opportunity for conservation agriculture in Ethiopia?
Livestock are an integral part of agricultural systems in Ethiopia. There are challenges to incorporating livestock into conservation agriculture systems, including weed management and nutrient cycling. Herbivores can help control weeds and increase nutrient availability through manure deposition. Integrating forage crops and pasture phases can provide fodder for livestock while enhancing soil fertility. An experiment is proposed to test different grazing intensities to evaluate impacts on productivity, soil health, weeds and pests.
Agriculture & nature conservation
Frédéric Baudron presents arguments for why conservation should invest more in agriculture given various pressures on land and food security. Currently less than 5% of major conservation organizations' budgets are spent on agriculture despite most terrestrial land being dominated by human uses. Both wildlife-friendly farming and land sparing approaches have limitations without flexibility based on species, landscape, and socioeconomic factors. Conservation has tended to favor large vertebrates over other species and tropical areas over temperate ones. More integrated landscape approaches are needed that improve resource use efficiency, habitat connectivity, and economic incentives while supporting beneficial policies.
CA in Ethiopia
This document discusses promoting conservation agriculture (CA) amongst livestock farmers in Africa. It addresses the question of whether CA makes sense given the large livestock populations and need for biomass. Some key points discussed include:
- The trade-offs between long-term soil health benefits of CA versus short-term livestock feed needs
- More efficient use of biomass could help meet both soil and livestock requirements
- Increasing cereal productivity through CA could produce more biomass for livestock
- Different levels of analysis are needed – plot, farm, village – to understand optimal biomass allocation
- Improving livestock productivity and providing substitutes to livestock's roles could help address biomass shortages.
Tree-Crop Interactions
This document discusses how trees can positively impact annual food crop production by reducing various challenges. It provides examples of how trees can increase water availability for crops through reduced evaporation, hydraulic lift, and improved soil water retention. Trees can also fix nitrogen and recycle nutrients through organic acid exudation and mycorrhizal partnerships, benefiting crops. Additionally, trees may help control pests and rodents, and reduce heat and water stress for crops. The effects depend on tree and crop species selection and spacing, as well as soil fertility management. Measuring environmental, productivity and stress indicators can help understand these impacts. The goal is to answer practical questions for maize farmers on how to best integrate trees and crops.
Farm mechanization & Conservation Agriculture for Sustainable Intensification
- Farm power in the form of animal and mechanical traction is declining in sub-Saharan Africa due to factors like population growth, urbanization, and disease. This threatens the sustainability and intensification of smallholder agriculture.
- Conservation agriculture reduces power requirements and makes smaller, cheaper power sources like two-wheeled tractors more viable options. A business model approach can strengthen private sector markets for two-wheeled tractor services.
- The project aims to promote the adoption of two-wheeled tractors for conservation agriculture and other tasks like transport, threshing and shelling through technology demonstrations, strengthening local supply chains, and supporting rural entrepreneurship. It is projected to benefit hundreds of thousands of smallholder households.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

Title: Gravitational wave detection with orbital motion of Moon and artificial
Abstract:
In this talk I will describe some recent ideas to find gravitational waves from supermassive black holes or of primordial origin by studying their secular effect on the orbital motion of the Moon or satellites that are laser ranged.The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
