This document summarizes a study on the development of the Chinese dairy sector using a value chain approach. It outlines the research questions, objectives, methodology, and results. The study analyzed the dairy value chain in China, comparing production in Beijing and Jiangsu provinces. It found that dairy production is supported by the government but takes different forms. Small farms remain important in some areas while large operations dominate in others. The conclusions suggest improving technical knowledge and decreasing dependence on external feed markets for small farms to remain competitive.
Objectives: Introduce CARE, CARE-Bangladesh and Strengthening the Dairy Value Chain (SDVC) project; Framework for private sector engagement; Examples of our work with the private sector

This document summarizes a presentation about a project called the East Africa Dairy Development (EADD) project. The EADD project aims to transform the lives of smallholder dairy farmers in East Africa by doubling their household dairy incomes over 10 years. It has mobilized over 160,000 farmers in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda into cooperative groups. Through these groups, farmers have gained access to markets, inputs, and technical assistance. As a result, farmer incomes have increased by 150-754% depending on the country. The project establishes "Dairy Hubs" which are centers that connect farmers to buyers, inputs, financial services and more in a way that creates a virtuous cycle for all.

ION Bangladesh, 11 April 2016 - This presentation will have two parts. Firstly, it will focus on IPv6 deployment status in Bangladesh. The current statistics from different sources will be analyzed and represented there. Though the deployment trend is upward, still not many ISPs are IPv6 enabled. The corporate and enterprise networks as well as the government websites are still running IPv4 only. In this part I’ll also talk about the challenges and how to overcome them. In the second part of the presentation, I will share my experience of IPv6 deployment planning and challenges in Bangladesh Research and Education Network (BdREN). Right now BdREN is running a very limited scale pilot network with only six universities. But soon it will migrate to its countrywide larger network that is going to connect more than 34 universities with dual stack connectivity from day 1. I was directly involved in the planning and deployment of the network and faced many challenges and gathered valuable experience that I would like to share in the presentation. I would talk about IPv6 address planning and migration planning. The presentation would give an overall idea about the IPv6 deployment steps.

Engro Foods produces Olper's milk, which holds a 48% market share of the Pakistani UHT milk market. The market has grown significantly in recent years as consumers shift from unpackaged milk to packaged milk for health and hygiene reasons. Olper's dominates segments like milk for tea/coffee and kids but has potential to grow in emerging segments like milk for fitness. While Engro has strong distribution through traders, competitors have gained by expanding directly owned distribution networks and modern trade channels. To maintain its leading position, Engro should focus on expanding coverage, entering new segments, and maintaining brand awareness.
The document discusses establishing a dairy industry in Bangladesh through a feasibility report. It finds that the dairy industry sector offers opportunities to earn an excellent income with low operating expenses and pleasing profits. The national milk production can only meet 13% of demand, so there is potential to expand production.

The Food Safety Working Group (FSWG) in Vietnam was created in 2015 at the request of the Deputy Prime Minister to address food safety issues in the country. It brings together government agencies, ministries, and development partners to facilitate joint policy dialogue and improve food safety. Over eight years of operations led by different organizations, the FSWG has contributed to various initiatives. However, it faces challenges of diminished government participation over time and dependence on active members. Going forward, it will strengthen its operations by integrating under Vietnam's One Health Partnership framework to better engage stakeholders and achieve policy impacts.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
