Sub-Saharan Africa: The State of Smallholders in AgricultureDr Lendy Spires
The purpose of this paper is to provide a regional canvas for the broader discussion of the future directions on smallholders in agriculture. We do not attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), its agricultural sector or even all of the challenges and opportunities associated with smallholder farming.
Rather, the intention is to communicate our appreciation of the richness and complexity of the continent in comparison with other developing regions, and through discussion of the role of smallholder farmers in agricultural growth, focus the broader discussions of the conference on some of the key issues which, from our experience and that of IFAD projects working in SSA, are particularly relevant in our efforts to assist smallholder families definitively escape poverty through the transition towards ‘farming as a business’.
We begin in Section One with a brief overview of the land, geography, people, economy and of course, smallholder agriculture in SSA. Following this, in Section Two, we look more closely at the opportunities for SSA’s smallholders, adapting the perspective of IFAD’s recently released Rural Poverty Report to our regional context, and use a risk management lens to connect overall ecological and market contexts to the specific endeavours of smallholder farmers.
In Section Three, we move rapidly from the general to a specific focus on an issue which we feel merits much greater consideration – the importance of spatial and temporal coordination in reducing risk, increasing returns and allowing for project success. Finally, we conclude with some key recommendations on how these ideas can be transformed into an operational approach.
This document contains instructions for a makeup assignment for a 10th grade English course. Students must submit their makeup plan in a white folder with letter sized paper. The plan must be handwritten and include both English and Spanish translations. The assignment contains 7 exercises practicing various English grammar topics like adverbs, adjectives, past perfect tense, and translating paragraphs. Students are instructed to complete the exercises in order and write clearly. Assignments that do not follow the submission requirements will not be accepted.
Beach Nourishment: It's a Good Investment - Critique (Part 2 of 4)QuogueBeaches
The authors critique claims made by Mr. Marlowe in support of beach nourishment. They argue that beach nourishment is not a long-term solution given rising sea levels from climate change. Nourishment also has negative environmental impacts and primarily benefits wealthy coastal property owners, not the general public. The true costs of nourishment are far higher than alternatives like managed retreat. Nourishment maintains an unsustainable status quo and will ultimately lead to more hardened shorelines rather than natural beaches accessible to all.
The document contains a summary of three key points:
1. The document appears to be a science assessment containing multiple choice and short answer questions about biology topics like plants, animals, the human body and basic needs.
2. The questions cover subjects such as plant and animal classification, plant and animal adaptations, the human respiratory and excretory systems, and basic experiments investigating the relationship between plants and sunlight.
3. The assessment contains diagrams supporting questions about different biological concepts and processes, and requires examinees to make observations, inferences and identify manipulated and responding variables in short investigations.
This document summarizes a financial management platform for small and medium businesses. It introduces the founders and their experience, as well as the platform's cash flow management solutions using bank account synchronization and receipt recognition. Metrics show growing customer and revenue numbers. The company is seeking a €600k seed round to expand internationally and develop new products, with plans to eventually pursue an IPO or acquisition.

Beach Nourishment: It's a Good Investment - Perspective (Part 1 of 4)QuogueBeaches
The document discusses the benefits of beach nourishment projects. It argues that beaches provide significant economic, environmental, and recreational benefits. Beaches are vital to the tourism industry and provide protection from storms. However, many beaches are eroding due to human alterations like ports and inlets. Beach nourishment projects aim to restore eroded beaches by adding sand. Critics argue nourishment is a subsidy for the rich or harmful, but studies show the economic and environmental benefits outweigh the costs. Nourishment is needed to maintain beaches in a healthy, useful state for all Americans.
