There are four constraints for internet of things to succeed: devices should have connectivity even on a long range, connectivity should be free and secure, devices consume very little power and the form factor is reduced to the size of the battery. LoRa enables this: long range, low power communication over free-to-use frequencies around the world. In this talk, I will introduce the open standard LoRaWAN: the wide area network protocol stack built on top of LoRa, maintained by telecom operators, chipmakers and IoT industry leaders.
With a $ 1,200 gateway in our hands, we imagined covering the city of Amsterdam with only ten gateways. Four weeks later, we crowd sourced the gateways and launched the first open LoRa covered city network in the world. The open source, open hardware initiative, The Things Network, spread like wildfire around the world. After a very successful Kickstarter campaign to enable producing affordable gateways, development kits and nodes, we started building the network with the community. LoRaWAN is at the core of this network, and in this talk I'll explain its role in our mission to build an open, decentralized and crowd sourced internet of things data network with global coverage.
This document introduces best practices for writing clean and readable Perl code. It provides examples of poorly formatted code and discusses improvements like using strict and warnings, consistent indentation, descriptive variable names, and limiting line length to 80 characters. The examples demonstrate separating code into logical blocks, spacing around operators, and vertical alignment to improve readability. Adopting these styles and standards helps code be more maintainable as projects evolve over time.

Applying the Principles of Sustainable FarmingElisaMendelsohn
This document discusses the principles of environmental, economic, and social sustainability as they relate to farming. It provides three key points:
1. Sustainable farming aims to meet environmental, economic, and social objectives simultaneously through a whole-systems approach that mimics natural ecosystems. This is contrasted with conventional industrial agriculture.
2. The key principles of environmental sustainability for farms include imitating natural ecosystem processes like energy flows, water and mineral cycles, and biodiversity. Practices like diversification, minimal tillage, and groundcover management help farms function like natural ecosystems.
3. Economic and social sustainability depend on selecting profitable enterprises, comprehensive financial planning, proactive marketing, risk management, and making decisions that benefit

The document summarizes the benefits of the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) compared to conventional rice production methods. SRI involves transplanting young seedlings in a spaced out pattern, keeping soil moist but not flooded, and incorporating organic soil amendments. This approach has been shown to increase yields by 47% on average while reducing water use by 40% and costs by 23%. Farmers adopting SRI achieve higher incomes with lower inputs. The document highlights experiences promoting SRI in Mali, Vietnam and India by Africare, Oxfam and WWF respectively, finding more resilient rural households and accelerated national adoption in countries where over two-thirds of rice is produced. SRI represents an opportunity to boost food security and

This document summarizes La Via Campesina's position on seeds. It states that peasant and small-scale farmer seeds are under threat of extinction from transnational corporations seeking to replace seed diversity with standardized commercial varieties. It argues that peasant seeds are adapted to local conditions through selection and reproduction by farmers over generations, while commercial seeds rely on chemical and technological packages. By prohibiting seed exchange, corporations aim to control the world's seeds and thus food sovereignty. La Via Campesina is committed to defending peasant seeds from being monopolized by a few companies.

This document discusses sustainable agriculture and its principles. It defines sustainable agriculture as producing food without depleting resources or polluting the environment, following natural principles. Conventional agriculture followed an industrial model that increased yields but degraded soil and water quality. In response, sustainable farmers developed ecological approaches like organic farming. Key principles of sustainable agriculture include building soil health, protecting water quality, managing pests ecologically, and maximizing biodiversity. Transitioning to sustainable practices benefits farms and rural communities.
The document is a report from WWF published in September 2012 that provides criteria for responsible investment in agricultural, forest, and seafood commodities. It identifies key environmental and social risks posed by these commodity sectors and establishes performance criteria for companies. The foreword notes that while demand is growing for these soft commodities, their production can significantly impact the environment and communities. It argues that investors need to properly understand these impacts and that the report provides a framework to evaluate companies' sustainability performance. The foreword emphasizes that responsible production in these sectors offers opportunities for mainstream investment through competitive advantages like cost reductions and market access.

We are a cooperative of climate and environmental services! Our high food productivity is a consequence of nature's regeneration inside our crops. Plante Chuva (Plant Rain) is a cooperative for climatic and environmental regeneration, based on syntropic agricultural production, family farming, the promotion of machinery and other modern technologies, and the holding and verticalization of the productive arrangement.
It means that we are an agricultural cooperative with many sectors and many families involved, which instead of producing in a conventional way, produces from organized planting and systematic management of trees in the agricultural area (food production). With this type of cultivation, it is possible to make it rain, recover the rivers and cool the climate, make the soil more fertile through the deposit of organic matter in the place, and harvest more food than conventional agriculture, which will consequently be free of pesticides.
We are looking for your support to pilot Plante Chuva, validate it, and take off to "plant rain" all over Brazil, and worldwide.

More and Better -Nov 10, 2017
This 32 page report gives an overview of the global situation of investments in agriculture. It provides examples from several countries and present recommendations for future investments in small-scale sustainable agriculture.
The aim of the report is to: Increase knowledge, awareness and discussions about investments in small-scale sustainable agriculture among farmers’ organizations, NGOs, institutions and investors working in agriculture, especially in developing countries, as well as decision-makers and institutions in OECD-countries dealing with official development assistance (ODA).
Contribute to increased public and private investments in small-scale sustainable agriculture.
This section provides an overview of the typical positive and negative biodiversity impacts that may occur in different types of land-based carbon projects, including afforestation/reforestation (A/R) projects, reduced emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) projects, and reduced-impact agriculture projects. It acknowledges that biodiversity impacts can be complex and context-specific. The section argues that the most common biodiversity impacts are relatively straightforward and can be tracked through well-designed monitoring programs, even if more complex impacts may be harder to monitor. It aims to provide guidance on biodiversity impact assessment while keeping methods simple.

Runa LLC
Location: Ecuador
Sector: Agroforestry, Beverage Industry
Website: www.runa.org
Runa creates livelihoods for indigenous farmers in the
Ecuadorian Amazon by creating markets for indigenous
products, including guayusa tea. Collectively, Runa
envisioned a business that could share this rich-tasting
tea–a business that would respect cultural traditions and
support small farmers.
P ro b l e m
Indigenous communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon are caught in a cycle
of poverty and environmental degradation, driven by centuries of extractive
industries, colonization, and cultural prejudice. Dedicated primarily to
subsistence farming, local smallholder farmers have few sustainable
opportunities to earn income and cover basic costs of living in an
increasingly globalized world.
The supply chains for cash crops are designed to disfavor smallholder
producers and limit their potential for economic development and self-
determination. With decreasing amounts of land and limited access to
markets, indigenous farmers are forced to abandon their farms or intensify
agricultural production – which further degrades communal forest reserves.
Solution
Runa creates income-generating markets for small farmers through an
ancient tea called guayusa. Guayusa is a naturally caffeinated holly leaf tea
from the Ecuadorian Amazon that indigenous communities have revered and
consumed for thousands of years.
Runa manages a vertically integrated supply chain for guayusa between
Ecuador and the United States, utilizing a Fair Trade mechanism to unite
the priorities of income generation, cultural preservation and sustainable
management of natural resources.
To do so, Runa organizes small farming families to grow guayusa in organic
agroforestry systems. The company then creates economic incentives for
sustainable management of natural resources and rainforest conservation

Planting Empowerment
Location: Panama
Sector: Forestry
Website: www.plantingempowerment.com
Planting Empowerment develops agroforestry projects
that are managed to deliver financial, social and
environmental benefits. To date, Planting Empowerment
has planted 27,500 trees and ensured that farmers are
earning 45% more income.
P ro b l e m
Subsistence agriculture represents a major driver of deforestation
throughout Latin America – yet also ensures the livelihoods of many
low-income rural communities. Large scale forest plantation companies
accelerate deforestation by buying up deforested land, planting a monocrop
of a single tree species and divorcing small landholders from their principle
asset and future economic benefit. Local communities have the desire to
manage their land both more sustainably and more profitably, but often lack
the capital and technical skill to do so.
Solution
Through sustainable forestry projects, Planting Empowerment is
providing alternative income streams for indigenous and small landholder
communities who traditionally have survived through slash and burn
agriculture.
Instead of purchasing land like the majority of forestry companies, Planting
Empowerment leases from indigenous communities and small landholders
to encourage land tenure. The leases assist with income generation and
provide an incentive to actively participate in the project.
Additionally, indigenous community members and small landholders acquire
hands-on forestry management skills and traditional classroom knowledge,
financed by Planting Empowerment. After the first plantation cycle ends, the
land lease partners will have the capital (from profit sharing) and technical
capacity to manage their own agroforestry plots, but with complete
ownership.

9. I m pac t
To date, Planting Empowerment is employing two Panamanians full-time at an above-average wage and full
benefits, and sponsoring formal forestry training for one full-time employee. Factoring in profit sharing, the
organization’s smallholder land lease partners are earning roughly 45% more for land leased to Planting
Empowerment than the business-as-usual scenario.
Planting Empowerment has planted 27,500 trees (25 hectares) of at least eight different species which have
sequestered approximately 540 tons of CO2 to date.

The Chiclero consortium works to protect tropical
forests through the harvesting, transformation and
commercialization of Chicle gum.
Much like other regions in the world, the rainforests of Mexico, with the
tropical Ecuador system are an economically attractive resource for their
owners. As a result, many forests are destroyed by farmers or extractive
industries focused on the financial benefits from forests’ use.
The Chiclero consortium is a community forestry organization that brings
farmers to the level of a technical and commercially productive organization.
The consortium comprises of 46 cooperatives and 2,000 producers of gum
that work with 1.3 million hectares to sustainably harvest, transform and
commercialize Chicle gum in 4 flavours. The organization also promotes
training opportunities for gum-producers and those along the value chain.
In the last 5 years through the joint effort of the tappers and the
consortium, more than 7000 hectares of destroyed forest has been
recovered and converted back to its original state. Moreover, the company
has strengthened its social identity and generated fair economic resources
through the promotion of over 1,500 jobs to create a condition of
conservation over the long-term.

Rainforest Expeditions is an ecotourism company
that operates three lodges, each adding value to the
preservation of the conservations of Amazon rainforest.
The Amazonian state of Madre de Dios in Peru, hosts one of the world’s
great wildernesses with over 6 million hectares of protected forests.
Specifically, the Tambopata National Reserve and the Bahuaja Sonene
National Park regions are comprised of highly diverse lowland rainforest
inhabited by a mosaic of indigenous peoples, long-established forest
extractivists, migrant ranchers, farmers and miners. These industries, while
important income drivers, are threatening the sustainability of the regions

Rainforest Expeditions specializes in connecting the economic benefits
from the Amazon’s visitors, to the economic wellbeing of the land tenants
through employment, supplier development and profit sharing. The company
primarily achieves this through three lodges named Posada Amazonas.
The economic results of Posada Amazonas are substantial and have
been estimated at USD 5 million dollars since inception. Over 80% of the
community dividends have been distributed equally among the community
shareholders, increasing incomes and improving livelihoods over the long-
term.
In addition to the above, Rainforest Expeditions has perpetuated a strong
commitment to the conservation and community management of forests in
the 3,000-hectare communal reserve. The community reserve is adjacent
to the Tambopata National Reserve, forming an extension to it.

13. Wildlife Works
Location: Kenya, Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon
Sector: Carbon, REDD+
Website: www.wildlifeworkscarbon.com
Wildlife Works has pioneered the use of REDD+ carbon
credits to finance large-scale tropical forest conservation
programs, rendering the forests more valuable intact than
destroyed.
In Kenya, as in many parts of the world, local employment opportunities
are extremely limited. Caught in a cycle of poverty many farmers have no
other option than to slash and burn native forests to provide important land
for farming and income generation.
Acknowledging these challenges, Wildlife Works provides economic benefits
to local forest communities through the development, implementation and
monetization of REDD+ projects. One intrinsic principle that the organisation
works upon is job creation; relevant jobs actively compensate communities
for giving up agricultural expansion to generate an income, and as a result,
reduce the need to destroy forestland for subsistence purposes.
Since inception, Wildlife Works estimates that in Kenya alone 100,000
people have benefited directly from the organization’s work. In their flagship
project in the Kasigau Wildlife Corridor, 400 skilled jobs have been created
in departments such as the eco-factory, screen-printing, soap making, eco-
charcoal program and ranger team.
Through the locally managed Community Trust Fund, the surrounding
communities have also benefitted significantly from improved water
projects, classroom construction and school bursaries. Wildlife Works
currently supports 750 students from secondary to university levels.
Wildlife Works has 200,000 ha under their direct conservation management
in Kenya and in Cameroon the company convinced the government to
withdraw 440,00 ha of forest concessions from exploitative use. In the
Democratic Republic of Congo, another 300,000 ha REDD+ project at Lac
Mai Ndombe has also been recently validated. Wildlife Works anticipates
to expand its successful business strategy to other African countries in the
future.

Eco-Fuel Africa
Location: Uganda
Sector: Energy, Biomass
Website: www.ecofuelafrica.com
Eco-fuel Africa trains low-income Ugandan farmers to
turn farm waste into clean burning fuel briquettes and
organic fertilizers.
Traditionally, the vast majority of Ugandans cook their food with charcoal or
wood, both of which come from trees. As a result, the country’s forests are
being decimated to provide fuel options for rural communities.
Eco-Fuel Africa teaches rural farmers to turn their agricultural waste into
charcoal powder using locally made kilns. Once the powder is made,
Eco-Fuel Africa buys a portion directly from the farmers while the coarser
portion is retained and used as organic fertilizers (biochar). The charcoal
powder purchased from the farmers is then compressed into clean burning
fuel briquettes which are healthier, longer-burning and 20% cheaper than
charcoal.
In addition, Eco-Fuel Africa trains and empowers local women to sell
the clean burning fuel briquettes in their communities. This creates an
important additional income source and part of the proceeds from the sales
is also invested into tree planting campaigns that replace forests that have
already been lost.
Since inception over 1,500 farmers in Uganda have begun using Eco-Fuel
Africa kilns and processes, which has resulted in an average income of $30
per month from supplying charcoal powder; this is an increase of 100%
from previous income levels. Furthermore, with improved fertilized soil,
most Eco-Fuel Africa farmers have reported at least a 30% increase in their
food harvests since they started applying bio-char to their soils.
Eco-Fuel Africa has over 3,500 families in Uganda using clean burning fuel
briquettes. Additionally, the company has also already created 100 new
women entrepreneurs, earning an average of approximately USD 1,825 per
year.

15. Ecotech Timber
Location: Sierra Leone
Sector: Forestry and Energy
Website: www.ecotechtimber.com
EcoTech Timber is a natural resources management and
renewable energy development company.
Land degradation is occurring at an alarming rate in Sierra Leone as a
result of social and economic challenges that have led to persistent poverty.
The ultimate loss of critical forest resources is threatening to further hinder
local communities’ ability to survive and live in these areas due to the heavy
reliance on these forests for products and services.
In response, EcoTech has developed a sustainable natural resource
management and renewable energy program that provides real
methodologies to address these complex development and environmental
challenges. EcoTech utilizes available natural resources and applies
innovative concepts in order to address broad scale environmental and
social issues. Initial projects have included the protection of 87,999
hectares of high conservation value forests via a REDD+ program, a 12,000
ha agro-forestry system and an initial production of 7.5 megawatts of
carbon-neutral biomass-fuelled power generation.
Importantly, EcoTech has received unprecedented support from local
communities. For example, the company concluded a Memorandum of
Understanding Agreement for sustainable land use with all 14 Chiefdoms of
the Kono District – a district historically not known for such overwhelming
cooperation. As a result, local leaders have helped educate and promote
sustainable land use, including authorization of the use of forest wardens in
community owned forests to curtail illegal wood harvesting, slash-and-burn
agriculture and other unsustainable land-use practices. These efforts have
already drastically reduced deforestation in the Gorama-Kono forest region.
Additionally, EcoTech’s community outreach program works to not only
educate local populations on sustainable land-use and other agro-forestry
related technologies, but also to educate on topics such as gender equality,
health, education and adult literacy. EcoTech will also employ over 350
people over the next year – in a region with over 80% unemployment
EcoTech’s work is having a welcome positive impact on conservation efforts
and beyond.

Location: Brazil and Indonesia
Sector: Forest Conservation, Timber Plantation, Renewable Energy
Website: www.floresta.com
The Floresta Group designs, finances and develops two of
the world’s largest forest carbon programs in Indonesia
and Brazil.
Government authorities in Acre and Aceh have demonstrated global
leadership in trying to save their forests. However, opposition to pro-forest
legislation is growing and threatens to rollback progress unless sufficient
financial incentives for forest conservation are created.
Floresta’s eco-commerce model addresses the economics of land-use in
tropical countries by creating sustainable and scalable financial incentives
for private and public landowners to stop - and even reverse - deforestation.
Floresta establishes mutually reinforcing public-private partnerships that
integrate improved food, wood, and energy production through low-carbon
farming, sustainable forest product supply chains, renewable energy and
environmental services.
Floresta’s multi-functional landscape approach provides higher levels of
return than traditional forest or agriculture investments while offering lower
risks than most terrestrial carbon projects. This enables Floresta to mobilize
the large-scale resources and high-level expertise required to permanently
change tropical forest land-use for the better.
Since the company began in 2010, Floresta has made tremendous
headway. The company has developed projects that can create more than
60,000 permanent green jobs in sustainable forestry and renewable energy,
has established labor-intensive green industries, reduced dependence on
expensive imported fossil fuels and conserved large tracts of peatland,
highland and lowland forest ecosystems in the Amazon and East Pacific
regions.

Location: Belize
Sector: Agriculture, Agricultural Processing, International Trade
Website: www.mayamountaincacao.com
Maya Mountain Cacao sources premium cacao from
smallholder farmers for specialty chocolate makers,
growing farmer income while preventing deforestation in
southern Belize.
The highly biodiverse tropical forests of southern Belize are currently facing
serious ecological threats, including increased slash and burn agriculture
from a growing population, looming industrialization of agricultural
production through mono-crops such as oil palm, and the recent discovery
of crude oil in the same region where most of the country’s cacao is grown,
the Toledo District.
Beyond just agricultural threats, the Toledo District has the highest poverty
rates in the country with nearly 70% of the population living at or below
the poverty line. The combination of a rapidly growing population with high
rates of poverty and the widespread use of unsustainable farming practices
is negatively impacting Belize’s biodiversity and tropical rainforests.
Maya Mountain Cacao uses market access to create powerful change
in Belize’s cacao industry. The company has introduced a competitive
market for Belizean cacao bringing new services, ideas, pricing models and
meaningful relationships to farmers, catalyzing a renewed interest in cacao
farming and a vision of responsible industry growth.
Since Maya Mountain Cacao became operational 2 years ago, farmer
income has grown as a result of rising prices and improved yields. Average
farmer income from cacao grew over BZ$50 in 2012 – a small but
meaningful increase that can be used to pay for a child’s education, invest
in new tools for the farm, or to start saving for the future.
In addition, in 2012 Maya Mountain Cacao planted over 50,000 new cacao
trees in partnership with smallholder farmers focused on converting lands
previously used for slash-and-burn crops into agroforestry plots.
