Impact of climate change on coffee and mango growing areas in HaitiDecision and Policy Analysis Program
1) The document discusses predicting the impacts of climate change on coffee and mango growing areas in Haiti. It uses environmental niche modeling with bioclimatic variables to model the future suitability of these crops under climate change.
2) The modeling results indicate that coffee production may decline in some lower elevation areas due to higher temperatures and lower rainfall, while mango and other crops like cocoa, sorghum, and yams may become more suitable in other areas.
3) The document recommends diversifying crops in areas where coffee production is expected to decline significantly, and investing in climate-resilient varieties and management practices to maintain coffee production in areas with smaller expected impacts.Climate Smart Cocoa in Ghana Kick-off Workshop
This document outlines a project to mainstream climate-smart cocoa in Ghana. The project aims to (1) map climate risk for cocoa regions, (2) develop and test climate-smart agriculture practices along a climate gradient, and (3) integrate suitable practices into extension services and financing models to drive adoption at scale. The project consortium includes CIAT, IITA, Rainforest Alliance, Root Capital, and Sustainable Food Lab. Initial climate change exposure mapping shows cocoa suitability decreasing in northern Ghana by 2050 and increasing in central areas, with some regions more vulnerable than others. The project expects to identify appropriate adaptation strategies and incentives to promote widespread adoption of climate-smart cocoa.

Climate change impacts on cocoa in Ghana :: Results of a Random Forest suitab...Decision and Policy Analysis Program
This document summarizes the results of a Random Forest suitability classification study on the impacts of climate change on cocoa production in Ghana. The study used machine learning to classify cocoa growing areas into four suitability types based on climate and soil factors. It found current cocoa production aligns with three ecological zones. The results predict a shift in suitable areas by 2050 due to climate change, with moist evergreen climate becoming dominant and areas in the northwest becoming marginal. The conclusion is that climate change will affect cocoa yields and production, making adaptation a priority for the cocoa sector.Livestock and the environment: Drivers, impacts, responses

Climate change impacts on cocoa in Ghana
The document summarizes the results of a workshop on climate change impacts on cocoa in Ghana. Random forest machine learning was used to analyze climate and soil data and classify suitable cocoa growing zones. Four key zones were identified: 1) low rainfall, long dry season, poor soils in northwest; 2) low temperatures, long dry season, average soils; 3) high temperatures, reliable rainfall, average soils; and 4) high temperatures, low seasonality, rich soils. Analysis found temperatures in some current cocoa areas may exceed tolerable limits by 2050, especially in northwest Ghana. Soil characteristics will influence resilience to climate impacts. The moist evergreen zone may become most suitable while the northwest may become marginal.

Wpc2014 eposter by ecosystem alliance ghana 2014
In Ghana, the Community Resource Management Area (CREMA) mechanism is an innovative landscape-level planning and management tool for community conservation initiatives. The process has taken 20 years of evolution to move from an intellectual concept to a legally approved CREMA mechanism. Today over 30 CREMAs are officially approved or in various stages of the process of development in the country. The average CREMA covers about 25,000 hectares, but CREMAs can range from a thousand hectares up to a few hundred thousand hectares. The CREMA concept has been examined by at least 10 other African countries and efforts at replication are underway in a number of nearby West African states.
Full-fledged CREMAs have approved constitutions, management boards, community committees; regulations backed by local by-laws and have the power to engage their own staff. CREMAs are able to incorporate under Ghanaian law and control their own revenue. All CREMAs have defined boundaries agreed by all stakeholder communities and traditional leadership upon which long-term management and regulations are agreed. As such CREMAs are an approved institutional structure for landscape planning, democratic decision-making by local leadership and benefit sharing with its stakeholders. CREMAs should be considered as promising examples of Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas (ICCA)
Early CREMAs focused on wildlife and habitat protection. They developed revenues from tourism and later on from harvesting of NTFPs with premiums for organic and conservation status of the associated NTFPs. Recent developments is to see how CREMAs could develop future carbon revenues. No CREMA has realized emissions reductions revenue yet but a number are now exploring this possibility.
Nature Conservation Research Centre and A Rocha Ghana in collaboration with the Wildlife Division are pioneers in the promotion and development of CREMAs in Ghana. They have gathered a wealth of knowledge and experience that they like to share with the conservation community and a broader group of stakeholders. The evolution and potential of CREMAs will be presented and discussed. As part of this session a 15 min documentary will be shown on how CREMAs changed the lives of thousands of women through the organic production of Shea nut.
Promoting Indigenous Food Sovereignty
In contrast to the highly mechanistic food production, distribution, and consumption model applied in the industrialized food system, Indigenous food systems are described in ecological rather than neoclassical economic terms.
An Indigenous food is one that has been primarily cultivated, taken care of, harvested, prepared, preserved, shared, or traded within the boundaries of the respective territories based on values of interdependency, respect, reciprocity, and ecological sensibility.
"Food sovereignty", is a term coined by members of La Via Campesina (International coalition of Peasant organizations representing 148 organizations from 69 countries) in 1996.
Asserts that the people who produce, distribute, and consume food should control the mechanisms and policies of food production and distribution, rather than the corporations and market institutions that have come to dominate the global food system.
Environmental economics intro
This document discusses the need for environmental economics and more sustainable approaches. It notes that classical economics focuses on supply and demand without considering environmental external costs. This leads to market failures and overconsumption of limited resources. Environmental economics aims to assign value to natural resources and ecosystem services to better account for their importance. Approaches like natural capitalism emphasize radical resource productivity, closed-loop systems, and reinvesting in natural capital to support future prosperity within planetary boundaries. Individual actions and policy changes are needed to transition toward more sustainable economic models.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
