Participants on the 30th Global Young Leaders Programme (YLP) responded to International Rice Research Institute (IRRI)’s invitation to make business and strategic recommendations on ways to commercialise its research technology and used IRRI’s Nutrient Manager for Rice as a basis for a business model. Through a combination of classroom-based discussions and onsite visits to local communities, this YLP proposed the establishment of a new company to drive an integrated ICT platform to improve rice crop management and provide farmers with access to credit, farming-related information and services. This platform would give IRRI the opportunity to reach out and significantly impact the socio-economic livelihoods of smallholder farmers, whilst contributing to more environmentally sustainable farming methods.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

2. PfI works on Agroforestry:
“Everybody Can Grow Trees
and Earn”
>EVERYBODY => Smallholders, Men,
Women, Youth, Pastoralists, Urban
people, Companies
>CAN GROW TREES => each group, has
opportunities to care for trees
>AND EARN => People as an individual
should benefit from growing trees
3. Everybody can grow trees and earn
• ALL work for home consumption + markets
• As a general rule: More People, More Trees
Women prefer Agroforestry-
Horticulture Gardens
Men, Youth prefer
wood lots, live fences
Pastoralists prefer
systems with-animals
4. For example: Mali – Farmers manage Agroforestry Gardens. BUT have
weak market linkages, and no credit options; so gardens are static
5. Some farmers manage to develop their
Agroforestry gardens into vibrant
enterprises
Subsistence Make money More money
6. Business Planning will allow farmers to invest in
productive sustainable Agroforestry Gardens
>Existing loan schemes are short-term
>With guarantees Credit Institutions might develop longer-term
schemes
>Islamic Loans allow for longer term joint investor-entrepreneur
linkages
