Watershed/Landscape Management for Multiple Benefits and Climate Resilience ...CIFOR-ICRAF
Learn how watershed and landscape management can be made climate resilient and be designed for multiple benefits. This presentation by Sally Bunning, Senior Land/Soils officer of the FAO Land and Water Division focuses on the principles of integrated watershed management, experiences, strategy and lessons learned based on the experiences from East Africa.
Presented by Sonali Senaratna Sellamuttu at the fifth International Conference on Water Resources and Hydropower Development in Asia (Colombo, Sri Lanka, 11-13 March 2014). Hydropower development in the Mekong River Basin is advancing rapidly but very little attention is paid to constructing and operating dams in ways that benefit all water users. Riparian and displaced are often unable to engage in their original livelihood activities after dam construction. New livelihood options for these communities can be created or included in dam planning, as made evident by two pilot studies highlighted in the presentation. The pilots, carried out under a CPWF Mekong project, were an integrated rice-fish culture near the Theun Hinboun Expansion Project (Lao PDR) and the introduction of a new strain of cassava near the Yali Dam site (Vietnam). These pilots showed how research for development and partnering with key actors in the private and public sectors has the potential to lead to the development of new livelihood-enhancement opportunities in modified environments created by dams.

Environmental sustainability of family farming can be obtained by helping family farms to conserve and ensure the sustainable use of natural resources on their farms, namely water, land and biodiversity.
In 2008 the world witnessed multiple crises including a food one which resulted in unrest in many areas of the world. These tensions may well foreshadow future challenges as they relate to providing sufficient food for
six, rising to nine billion people. Unless we get more intelligent in the way we manage agriculture, the world is likely to head into deeply challenging times.
Water and the good and services provided by ecosystems are part of this urgent need for an intelligent management response not least in relation to food production.
The Millennium Ecosystems Assessment report, in which
UNEP played an important role, demonstrated the links between healthy ecosystems and food production. These include providing food, water, fiber, genetic material;
regulating soil erosion, purifying water and wastes, regulating floods, regulating diseases and pests; and
supporting the formation of soil, photosynthesis and
nutrient recycling.
Water is an integral part of ecosystems functioning. Its
presence or absence has a bearing on the ecosystemsservices they provide. Relatively larger amounts of water are used to generate the ecosystem services needed to
ensure provisioning of basic supplies of food, fodder and
fibers. Today rainfed and irrigated agriculture use 7,600
of freshwater globally to provide food. An additional
1,600 km3 of water is required annually to meet the
millennium development goal on hunger reduction which addresses only half of the people suffering from hunger.
Presentation by Claudia Ringler, Hartwig Kremer and Cheikh Mbow at the UNEA Science Policy Interface, May 19-20
Presentation focuses on the concept of the water, food and energy nexus and its importance within the development context. It also provides a number of cases highlighting nexus issues.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
How to Split Bills in the Odoo 17 POS ModuleCeline George
Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities.

4. Salinity in Agricultural Production
More than 1.2 billion ha of lands are affected by salinity globally
Nearly 1.6 million ha/ year are lost globally due to salinization
At this rate all irrigated areas that now contribute to agricultural
foods will be out of production in 140 years.

6. 2050…… and Targets
By 2050 the world’s population will reach 9.1 billion,
34 percent higher than today.
Nearly all of this population increase will occur in
developing countries.
About 70 percent of the world’s population will be
urban (compared to 49 percent today).
Food production must increase by 70 percent.
Annual cereal production will need to rise to about 3
billion tons from 2.1 billion today
Annual meat production will need to rise by over 200
million tons to reach 470 million tons.
