The document discusses the Good Seed Initiative (GSI), a partnership project in East Africa led by CABI and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The GSI aims to contribute to food security and livelihoods by building the capacity of smallholder farmers to produce and market high quality seed of African Indigenous Vegetables. Key approaches include partnerships along the seed value chain, action research, gender-sensitive programming, and farmer entrepreneurship. Notable achievements include equipping farmer groups in seed production, linking farmers to markets and services, characterizing indigenous varieties, increasing incomes and nutrition, and influencing seed production policies. The unique contribution of the partnership lies in its multi-stakeholder approach along the entire vegetable value chain.

Pragati,koraut presentation 12 june 2019

Abhishek Malpani

The document summarizes PRAGATI's work empowering women farmers in South Odisha, India through improved access to quality seeds. It notes the challenges women farmers face from poverty, lack of irrigation, and climate change. PRAGATI trains women in sustainable agriculture techniques and seed production/conservation. This revives indigenous varieties and promotes stress-tolerant hybrids. Women's collectives produce and market seeds, reaching more farmers and providing an income source. The approach emphasizes community involvement, research partnerships, and engaging stakeholders to develop the local seed sector for long-term food security.

Designing a program with moving environmental targets

Soil and Water Conservation Society

This document discusses the challenges of designing conservation programs given changing environmental targets and agricultural landscapes. It notes that farmers have differing priorities that influence their conservation decisions, such as farm size, tenure, age, and debt load. Engaging large farm operations requires tailored approaches as they view government programs skeptically. Survey results show farmers have had limited experiences with species at risk and prioritize other concerns over their conservation. Effective program design requires understanding these socioeconomic factors and farmers' varying spending priorities.

National cereals research institute (ncri)badeggi’s success story

waapp-nigeria

The document summarizes the success story of the National Cereals Research Institute's (NCRI) adoption of villages and schools in Badeggi. Through introducing improved agricultural practices, providing training, demonstrations and resources, yields increased for farmers. A women's rice processing group was trained and ordered processing equipment. Students' interest in agriculture grew through demonstrations of poultry and maize production. Overall the program strengthened farmers and students, increased income, and represented rural transformation and development.

This document discusses agricultural sustainability and sustainable certification programs. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. It outlines key principles of sustainable certification programs like being multi-stakeholder led, science-based, and focusing on continuous improvement. The document proposes a pilot program to expand sustainable soy marketing that would minimize burdens on growers and set the stage for consensus on sustainable agriculture. It discusses the Grain Farmers of Ontario's involvement in sustainable development initiatives and certification programs.

Local food hubs

WisconsinF2S

This document discusses regional food hubs and their role in aggregating, distributing, and marketing locally produced foods. It describes how food hubs help both farmers and buyers by expanding markets, providing distribution and marketing services, and reducing transaction costs. Food hubs have positive economic, social and environmental impacts by creating jobs, retaining agricultural jobs, and allowing farmers to receive a greater share of retail prices. However, food hubs also face challenges in balancing supply and demand, managing price sensitivity and growth, accessing capital, and other operational issues. The document provides examples of different food hub models and discusses strategies for achieving economic viability and overcoming common challenges.

VU ICT4D symposium 2017 Wendelien Tuyp: Boosting african agriculture

Victor de Boer

The document discusses two perspectives on boosting African agriculture: the industrial agribusiness model promoted by G8 countries and the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition initiative, and the smallholder farming model. The industrial model focuses on large-scale monocultures, high yields, and cash crops for global markets using mechanization and external inputs. However, this approach raises questions about who benefits and can displace farmers. In contrast, smallholder farms are more resilient, use crop diversity for local markets, and are key to global food security despite being more labor intensive and lower yielding. Experts argue for supporting the smallholder model through advisory services and helping farmers innovate sustainably.

Science Forum 16 Initial Synthesis and Reflections by Maggie Gill

Independent Science and Partnership Council of the CGIAR

This document summarizes the proceedings from the Science Forum 2016 conference over three days. Day 1 focused on rethinking pathways for agricultural research to achieve rural prosperity. It discussed topics like timelines, direct and indirect impacts, off-farm contributions, diversification, and more. Day 2 centered on partnerships beyond agriculture including with NARS, CGIAR, smallholders, markets, value chains, and more. Day 3 identified three system-level outcomes: reducing poverty, improving food/nutrition security and health, and improving natural resources and ecosystem services. The document discusses how the forum priorities will inform the development of the next strategic research framework and strategic studies to identify gaps.

The role of animal agriculture and policies/markets in poverty reduction were also examined.

Mainstreaming CA challenges to adoption, institutions and policy. Amir Kassam

Joanna Hicks

(1) Mainstreaming conservation agriculture (CA) faces challenges related to adoption by farmers, support from institutions, and enabling policies. (2) For CA to become widely adopted, it must be seen as a preferred approach by farmers, service providers, and policymakers. (3) Challenges to adoption include the fundamental change required, lack of knowledge and experience with CA, social pressures, and access to appropriate inputs. Challenges to institutions include a lack of financial and technical support for farmers. Challenges to policy include lack of awareness and policies that inhibit CA. (4) Overcoming these challenges requires champions, engaged institutions, knowledge building, and access to inputs and markets supported by enabling policies.

Supporting Agricultural R4D in the Semi-Arid Tropics

cropreg

The document discusses supporting agricultural research and development (R&D) in the semi-arid tropics. It outlines the challenges facing agriculture in this region, including food insecurity, land degradation, drought, and climate change impacts. The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) works to address these challenges through research programs on grain legumes and dryland cereals, as well as climate change adaptation. ICRISAT has made major impacts through improved crop varieties, integrated watershed management, and other initiatives to increase food security and farmer incomes in the dryland tropics.

The Second Crop Diversification Project (SCDP) aims to reduce poverty and increase farmers' incomes in 27 districts of Bangladesh through high-value crop production. The project covers 52 upazilas and provides support to 240,000 small farmers. Key activities include expanding cultivation of high-value crops, increasing income through improved production efficiency and value addition, empowering women, enhancing food security, and providing credit support. The project has successfully introduced new crop varieties, improved production technologies, organized farmer groups, and increased access to finance, leading to higher incomes and food security for farmers.

Conservation beef enterpirse %28ppt%29

Francois Stepman

This document discusses conservation beef enterprises among African pastoralists. It describes how arid lands make up 2/3 of Kenya's land, and how current rangeland management focuses on tourism, wildlife, and commercial ranching. Development projects have had minimal success. The Keekonyokie Conservation Meat Enterprise in Kenya shows how a pastoralist-owned meat business can achieve conservation goals by linking livestock trade to environmental sustainability through innovations like a biogas plant. The lessons learned are that pastoralism effectively conserves rangelands when integrated with economic and social sustainability, and that building social capital is key to conservation efforts in African rangelands.

This document discusses innovative approaches to green fodder production promotion in India. It notes that fodder production and livestock feeding are critical for dairy development but past promotion efforts faced challenges. A project in Bidar district established fodder nurseries with multiple varieties and trained farmers. This led to increased fodder production area and yield over time among participating farmers. It also motivated other farmers to adopt fodder cultivation through distributing root slips and cuttings, demonstrating horizontal diffusion of the practices. Participating farmers now prefer fodder cultivation due to its benefits.

Profitability in Family Farms

M S Swaminathan Research Foundation

While small scale family farmers grow food, and produce 70% of the food in this region, we remain to be poorest, hungriest, mostmalnourished? Why ? First because many of us do not have adequate access , control or ownership of the basic natural resources needed to do farming: land, waters, forests, seeds. Without land rights, we cannot decide what to plant, when to plant, where to market the produce, and in many cases, get only a 30% share of the produce of the farm. Without water rights, the fishes we could have captured in our seas and waters are first captured by big commercial trawlers, leaving so little for the many of us who would like to fish. Without forestry rights, we lose our forests to big mining and logging companies. Without rights to breed, conserve, save and exchange seeds, we will be dependent on the seeds of big and multi-national seed companies.. Second, our yields are low, of inferior quality, and we do not have the money to buy necessary inputs such as seeds, fertilizers or even farm tools or put up needed services such as irrigation, electricity.
