The transformation of smallholder crop production in ethiopia (1994 2016)
This document summarizes the transformation of smallholder crop production in Ethiopia from 1994 to 2016. Some key points:
- Crop production makes up 28% of Ethiopia's GDP and 67% of agricultural GDP, driven by growth in area cultivated, productivity, output, and market surplus. Productivity increases were the main factor.
- Major drivers of growth included expanded agricultural extension providing information, improved input and output markets, increased human capital via education/health investments, and risk reduction programs.
- While growth was rapid, productivity remains low overall. Heterogeneity is large, with the smallest farms (bottom third) having very small land sizes and output.
- Continued investment in agriculture and a

GMO crops can potentially provide both benefits and risks. Some key benefits include increased food security and yields through traits like pest and disease resistance. GM crops may also improve nutrition - for example, golden rice has been developed to help address vitamin A deficiencies. However, there are also concerns about possible negative environmental impacts and unknown long term health effects. Evaluating GM crops requires considering perspectives like the precautionary principle as well as principles of substantial equivalence by comparing GM crops to conventional crops. Overall, the impacts of GM crops are still being studied and debated.

HUGenomics: a support to genomics research
In the coming years, genome research will likely transform medical and agricultural practices. The unique genetic profile of a species is leading to the development of customized treatments, from personalized medicine to agrigenomics, but the exponential growth of available genomic data requires a computational effort that may limit the progress of these fields. Within this context, we propose the development of a novel hardware and software advanced support for genomics research, named HUGenomics. The framework aims at facilitating genome assembly process by means of both hardware accelerated algorithms and scientific data visualization tools. Indeed, the system raises the level of abstraction allowing users to easily integrate custom algorithms into the hardware pipeline without any knowledge of the underneath architecture.

Technology and agriculture
This document discusses how technological innovations in agriculture impact supply and prices. It provides examples of major advancements like mechanization, fertilizers, and biotechnology. Technology allows farmers to increase supply by producing more with the same inputs. While demand for food is inelastic, supply becomes more elastic over time. New technologies can initially increase total revenue but eventually farmers must adopt them to remain competitive, trapping them on a "technological treadmill" where profits decline. Emerging biotechnologies may change agricultural marketing systems and create opportunities for new crop types.
Revolution in Farming with Big Data
This document discusses how big data analytics can help revolutionize farming in India by addressing challenges in agriculture. It explains that sensors collect real-time data from fields and equipment that is integrated with other data sources to identify patterns and insights. These reveal existing issues and help form predictive algorithms to prevent future problems and control risks. Benefits of big data in agriculture include useful data collection, managing pests and diseases, identifying hidden patterns, helping cope with climate change, predicting yields, enabling automated agriculture, advanced supply tracking, and risk assessment.

Climate Change and Food Security-Global and Regional Challenges Facing COP21
Climate Change and Food Security-Global and Regional Challenges Facing COP21International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
Climate change will significantly impact global and regional agricultural production and food security according to a new analysis. The analysis uses an integrated modeling system called IMPACT to assess scenarios involving different levels of climate change and socioeconomic development. It projects substantial negative effects of climate change on crop yields in many regions by 2050, especially in Africa and South Asia. These yield declines could reduce gains in food availability and increase prices, potentially leaving hundreds of millions more people at risk of hunger. However, increased investment in technologies and practices such as drought-tolerant crops could help offset some climate change impacts and improve food security outcomes. Addressing climate change poses major challenges for decision-makers seeking to ensure global food security.Strategic Foresight - Keith Wiebe
The document summarizes projections from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), Global Futures and Strategic Foresight (GFSF), and Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) regarding the impacts of climate change and socioeconomic factors on agriculture. It presents results from global economic models that project changes in crop yields, area, production, consumption, trade and prices for various commodities by 2050 under different climate and socioeconomic scenarios. It finds that climate change is expected to negatively impact yields in many regions, though impacts vary significantly by crop and location. Trade patterns and food security indicators like malnutrition are also projected to be impacted.

Crop breeding in the 20th century led to increased yields but had limitations. Genetically modifying crops allows introducing genes across species and has increased yields for some crops grown in the US since the 1990s. However, there has been a campaign in Europe against GM crops based on environmental and food safety concerns, though analyses find some claims are erroneous. Reasonable caution is still advised with new technologies. Issues of global trade and justice must also be considered separately from the GM technology.

GM crops help fight hunger by increasing yields and reducing costs for farmers. They can be tailored to address local needs in developing countries by enhancing locally grown crops with traits like insect or drought resistance. However, controversies over GM safety and corporate influence continue in Europe, where regulations have blocked most GM crop cultivation. With the global population expected to increase by 2 billion by 2050, attitudes must shift to enable innovation that can boost food security and availability.
Genetically modified organisms
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are organisms that have had their DNA altered through genetic engineering to exhibit traits not found in nature. Some key points about GMOs include: examples of early GMOs include disease-resistant corn and "Enviropigs" that excrete less waste; while GMOs could help end world hunger and malnutrition, there are also concerns about their environmental and health impacts, including potential allergic reactions and unwanted gene transfer.
A critical survey of the logic of genetic engineering and the
This document provides a critical survey of the logic of genetic engineering and its potential role in sustainable agriculture and development in Africa. It summarizes the key arguments made by proponents of genetic engineering, including increasing yields and reducing pesticide use. However, it notes that proponents have overlooked important concerns about who benefits, risks involved, and whether GE can truly solve hunger and poverty. The paper aims to reflect on these ignored issues and explore alternative paths to food security and development in Africa beyond relying solely on genetic engineering.
Oliver wyman report english-low
The document discusses the challenges facing the agriculture industry and the potential for technology to address these challenges. The key challenges are rising population increasing food demand, stressed natural resources, climate change reducing productivity, and food waste. New technologies like precision agriculture, robotics, and vertical farming have the potential to produce food more efficiently and sustainably. Governments will need to play a role in facilitating innovation through targeted programs and public-private partnerships.

This document is the prepublication summary of a report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Committee on Genetically Engineered Crops. The committee was tasked with reviewing the experiences and prospects of GE crops based on evidence from the last two decades. The summary finds that while many GE traits have been developed, only herbicide and insect resistance have been widely commercialized, primarily in soybean, cotton, maize, and canola. It examines claims about GE crop impacts and reviews regulatory approaches as newer genetic engineering techniques emerge.
biotechnology in developing lecture19.ppt
Biotechnology has the potential to increase productivity in developing countries by increasing yields and reducing pesticide use for crops like cotton. Field trials of Bt cotton in India found yield increases of 80-87% compared to non-Bt and local varieties, along with a 70% reduction in insecticide use. However, access to biotechnology is limited by intellectual property rights held by companies in developed countries. An intellectual property clearinghouse could help reduce costs and improve access for developing countries by facilitating technology transfers. While biotechnology poses some environmental and health risks, these can be managed, and the technology could make an important contribution to agriculture if developed and used appropriately.
Genetically Engineered Crops and the Developing World
While genetically engineered crops were intended to help solve world hunger issues, they have failed to significantly increase yields and have instead led to increased herbicide and pesticide use. Independent studies show that GE crops do not outperform traditional breeding methods and have not contributed meaningfully to addressing food shortages. Additionally, many countries are restricting or rejecting GE crops due to labeling requirements, health concerns, and impacts on small farmers. Overall, GE technology has not lived up to expectations and more sustainable agricultural practices may be better solutions to improving global food security.
Semester Paper - Non-GMOcery
This document provides a whitepaper analyzing the market potential for a non-GMO grocery store called "Non-GMOcery" focusing on the Chinese market. It includes a market analysis noting consumer demand for healthy, non-GMO products is growing. It also contains a SWOT analysis, competitor analysis and outlines the whitepaper's objectives and structure. The document aims to investigate the importance of non-GMOs in Chinese culture and the market potential for a store providing non-GMO products in China.
GMO FINAL
This document discusses genetically modified foods (GMOs) and their potential benefits and risks. It notes that while GMOs were created to increase crop yields and food quality, there is still uncertainty around their long-term consequences. The document examines several potential benefits of GMOs, including increased nutritional value in foods, economic benefits for farmers through higher crop yields and profits, and their ability to help address food insecurity in developing countries. However, it also acknowledges public skepticism around GMOs and the need for more research on their impacts.

2) Brazil has made significant investments and progress in agricultural biotechnology, becoming an important global producer of food through the application of biotechnology.
3) Successful biotechnology programs require strong connections between private industry, universities, and the government to support research and commercialization efforts. Brazil's biotechnology sector has improved in this regard but still faces challenges around linking research to market opportunities.
Falck zepeda 2020 michigan state university webinar finalA
A presentation made at the 2020 Michigan State University short summer course on biotehcnology and biosafety. This presentations discusses context in which GE crops may be deployed, economic benefits from the adoption of genetically engineered crops, and the enabling environment which hay hinder or promote the safe use of genetic engineering in developing countries.
Biotechnology Presentation
Biotechnology has applications in agriculture, medicine, and industry based on applying scientific principles to processing materials with biological agents. It has led to improvements in crop yields and resistance, new medical treatments, and more sustainable industrial practices. The future of biotechnology is expected to further advance health, food production, and environmental applications over the next 30 years, but will also depend on public attitudes and governance of new technologies.
Horizon Scan: ICT and the Future of Food and Agriculture
The modern food supply chain is a highly industrialized and coordinated global system. It involves farms producing food, processing, transportation, distribution centers, retail outlets, and supply/demand forecasting across all stages. While ICT systems have increased efficiencies, the current system also produces significant waste and relies on unsustainable agricultural practices. The food system boundaries are deeply intertwined with natural resource limits and human consumption patterns. ICT both enables greater industrialization by pushing boundaries, but could also support more localized sustainable food systems through new technologies.
The potential of Genetically Modified Crops in the United Kingdom.
The document discusses how genetically modified crops could help increase UK food self-sufficiency and security. The UK population is growing and more food is being imported, making the country vulnerable. GM crops could help increase agricultural production on existing land in a more sustainable way. However, there is public opposition to GM due to health and environmental concerns. The document argues that with proper regulation and public education, GM crops could benefit the UK economy and environment while ensuring food security for future generations.
Food Security: Empty promises of technological solutions
This document discusses concerns about the promises made regarding nano-technology and genetically engineered crops as solutions to hunger and food insecurity. While these technologies are promoted as able to increase yields and nutrition, they may pose unknown health and environmental risks that are not adequately addressed. The failure of regulatory systems to safeguard consumers and the environment calls into question whether these technologies will truly benefit the poor and food insecure as claimed. Golden Rice is used as an example of how technological promises have failed to materialize despite raising false hopes and diverting resources from more sustainable solutions.

Global Water Scarcity: A Stratfor Report
This document discusses water scarcity issues in three locations:

2) South Africa faces challenges of aging water infrastructure, stresses on its power sector, and increasing demand outstripping its water supply.
3) Spain's water resources are threatened by climate change and increasing stresses. It is encouraging future water efficiencies.
North American Water Scarcity: A Stratfor Report
This document discusses water scarcity issues in North America, focusing on Canada, the Colorado River, and drought impacts in California. It explains that while Canada has abundant freshwater resources, political and public opinion constraints prevent water exports.

Prolonged drought in California stresses groundwater and agricultural production in the short term and highlights long-term competition for limited water resources across the region.

Yet the mi- croscopic — genes and their manipulations — and the deeply personal still have the potential to affect the behaviors of nations in the years and decades to come. As gene-editing techniques continue to improve and new gene functions are uncovered, a wide swath of economic sectors will adjust to and incorporate these new discoveries. While healthcare implications may be the most obvious, they will not be the most immediate. Industrial biotechnology methods are likely to improve, but it is the agricultural industry that is poised to see the largest benefits from new gene-editing techniques.
