Smallholders represent a significant portion (38%) of oil palm cultivation in Indonesia, and represent a critical component of the palm oil industry, as well as constitute a significant opportunity to improve livelihoods in resource-poor settings. Smallholders’ engagement in oil palm cultivation began as part of Indonesian government to promote tree plantation crops in the late 1970s. The initial programme consisted basically of direct state investments through state-owned companies (PTPN) and was integrated with government-sponsored transmigration programmes to provide a labor force for the new plantations. This integration was embryonic for smallholder engagement in state-led agribusiness. The emergence of smallholder oil palm planters constituted a spread effect of plantation development led by the government. The state agribusiness-driven policy has transformed rural areas and settlement development was started in the surrounding of large-scale oil palm plantation.

Social-ecological dynamics and the effects of bonding social capital on local...Kemraj Parsram
Grenville, the second largest fishing centre in Grenada, share characteristics typical of small scale fisheries across the eastern Caribbean and further afield. A major fishery involves small tunas and tuna-like fishes. Approximately 50 boats, typically with a crew of 2, troll daily inside and along the edge of the island’s extensive shelf, landing on average nearly 400 metric tonnes of fish annually. Sixty percent of these landings are usually blackfin tuna (locally known as ‘bonita’ or ‘common tur’) and skip jack tuna. Over the last seven years, this fishery and particularly its marketing system have been plagued with perturbations, both idiosyncratic and covariate. In this paper, I explore some critical social-ecological factors that cause or contribute to these perturbations. I highlight how bonding social capital between fishers and unemployed youths (two key categories of stakeholders in the fishery) helps them to cope with some of these perturbations, as well as adding fire to the flame. This paper is part of larger doctoral research on the governance of small-scale fisheries in the eastern Caribbean. The findings here are based upon information collected through key informant interviews, participant observations, and informal interviews during a one year period of residence (July 2010 - June 2011) in the fishing community of Grenville.

‘Wind in our Sails’ is about offshore wind energy and provides a detailed analysis of the sector’s rapidly developing supply chain.
A growing industry with huge potential and massive developer interest, offshore is nonetheless facing a possible financing gap and an inadequate power grid. Questions answered in the report include;
How much capacity is currently installed?
Will there be enough turbines, foundations, cables, ships and ports.
How much is under construction, consented and in government concession zones?
How will the sector develop in the next few years?

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
