Abstract:
Study of indigenous knowledge has been a challenge, as it demands cross-cultural and inter-disciplinary understanding. Of late, contribution of IK to conservation of resources and solution science has been realised by academia and policy-makers, which is expanding the frontiers of knowledge use for innovation. Interface between science and indigenous knowledge system (IKS) is increasingly observed in the field of agriculture, simultaneously putting emphasis on knowledge transformation at institutional level. With this central argument, the paper discusses essentialities of IK as socio-cultural base of agricultural innovation. Indigenous knowledge’s engagement with innovation reflects the nature of preservation of IK within the discourse of technology transfer. Findings of the study suggest that empowerment of agricultural extension units is essential for preservation of knowledge and to facilitate reproduction of appropriate knowledge.

Abstract:
The transmission of agricultural messages such as innovation in agricultural settings requires good planning from a strategic communication viewpoint. Moreover, there has been a call from various quarters that demand a holistic approach to solve this miscommunication issue. Thus, this study aims to understand the experiences of senior officers who are in charge of managing transmission of agricultural knowledge and training in various agriculturally based organisations. In-depth interviews were conducted with experts representing local and federal research-based and execution agencies. The data were analysed thematically. The interview protocol was developed from a literature review and tested on an expert who was also in the field of agriculture. The findings indicate that the bureaucracy system negates transfer of technology to the recipients, while communal culture presents as stimuli for successful diffusion of innovation. Thus, balancing bureaucracy and communal values offers a positive impact on the transfer of new technology to the recipients. The results offer a new understanding on the complexity of transfer of innovation knowledge and practices in terms of planning and implementing phases faced by the officers. To add, within the context of the study, top-down and bottom-up communication strategies need to be realigned to ensure the sustainability of effective innovation transfer in Malaysia. Future research could address the different scope of communication aspects in these organisations and extend our in-depth interview approach to various officers at national and regional levels. Keywords: Bureaucracy, communal values, strategic communication, experts, innovation.

Abstract:
The task of creating a single supranational payment market is to ensure its maximum independence, which correlates with the tasks of the competitive leading economic development of countries - the transition to a digital technological structure. To increase the efficiency of the generation of payment innovations with their subsequent diffusion into the agricultural sector, to strengthen the economy’s resistance to risks, a transfer of innovative institutional, organizational and informational forms of activity is necessary. The strategy of integration of payment markets of interstate economic associations in time and space should be based on the consolidation and symbiosis of innovative technology platforms of sovereign payment systems of the participating countries. For this, a conceptual model of a supranational transfer of digital innovations to the agricultural sector through the transmission mechanisms of payment systems is proposed. The model characterizes the mega-economic system, which provides for the heterarchical and hierarchical interaction of payment systems of donor countries and recipient countries in the framework of economic associations, in which the transfer of forms of innovative development to the agricultural sector is carried out. Digital innovations are transferred to the subjects of the agricultural market horizontally and vertically. The transfer of digital innovation occurs through institutional, organizational and informational communications with the parallel creation of structures for the subsequent evolution of the model.

Abstract:
Israel has established itself as a global leader in smart agriculture, leveraging technological innovation to enhance agricultural efficiency and sustainability. This study examines Israel’s contributions to smart agriculture and its mechanisms for technology transfer, with a particular focus on its cooperation with China. The topicality of this research lies in the growing global demand for sustainable agricultural solutions, driven by climate change, resource scarcity, and food security challenges. Israel’s expertise in precision farming, drip irrigation, agri-biotechnology, and water resource management has made it a key partner in international agricultural development, with China serving as a prominent recipient of its technological innovations. The purpose of this study is to analyse the mechanisms and effectiveness of Israel’s agro-technology transfer, assessing its impact on China’s agricultural sector and its replicability in other national contexts. The research explores the role of public-private partnerships, government policies, innovation hubs, and financial protocols in facilitating international technology transfer. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining case study analysis, policy reviews, expert interviews, and on-site observations. Primary data was gathered through fieldwork at China-Israel Technology Transfer Centres, interviews with local agricultural stakeholders, and reviews of bilateral agreements. Secondary data includes government reports, legislative documents, and academic literature on technology transfer and smart agriculture. The findings indicate that Israel’s structured, government-backed approach to technology transfer has led to successful adaptation and implementation of its agro-technologies in China. The China-Israel cooperation serves as a model for other nations, demonstrating the importance of strategic frameworks, knowledge-sharing platforms, and capacity-building programs in agricultural modernisation. However, challenges remain, including bureaucratic barriers, differences in regulatory frameworks, and the need for localised adaptations. This study concludes that Israel’s technology transfer model represents a scalable and effective strategy for addressing global agricultural challenges. Strengthening international cooperation, fostering innovation-driven policies, and enhancing financial support for technology adoption are key recommendations for advancing global sustainable agriculture.

Abstract:
Technology transfer requires cooperation between stakeholders, intellectual property issues, and risk management to implement innovations in production successfully. This necessitates the improvement of the technology transfer model. The introduction of innovations is a critical factor in the post-war recovery and development of the agricultural sector, a strategic branch of Ukraine's economy. The article aims to determine the main components of the technology transfer model, considering the requirements of EU directives on innovation and technology transfer. The level of Ukraine's involvement in European initiatives and programs regarding the creation and implementation of innovations and the protection of intellectual property was assessed. Based on EU legislation and directives analysis, measures to improve the technology transfer model have been identified. These measures aim to create an effective infrastructure and a favourable environment for the transfer of technologies that consider European integration requirements and contribute to increasing the competitiveness and sustainable development of Ukraine as a European state. The steps that must be taken to ensure compliance of Ukrainian national standards and technical regulations with EU standards have been determined. The main principles and directives that regulate the transfer of technologies in the EU were disclosed. To the requirements of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy and the F2F strategy, the technology transfer model in the agricultural sector should cover several features of agricultural production. The article presents three main components of effectively constructing a technology transfer model in the Ukrainian agricultural sector. The study results indicate that technology transfer requires the cooperation of various stakeholders, the resolution of intellectual property issues, and risk management to implement innovations in production successfully.

No período mais recente, face às profundas transformações estruturais que marcaram o setor, o Brasil e a economia mundial, a empresa tem sido pressionada ¿ e questionada ¿ a demonstrar que seu trabalho tem impactos positivos para a agricultura. Essa realidade trouxe a necessidade de refletir sobre a missão dos institutos públicos de pesquisa agrícola, sobre o papel e o alcance da transferência de tecnologia para garantir que os resultados da pesquisa alcancem seus potenciais beneficiários. A tese se situa neste contexto e teve como objetivo geral investigar os fatores condicionantes, exógenos e endógenos à Embrapa, que contribuem ou inibem a transferência de suas tecnologias para a agricultura brasileira. Os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados foram a revisão bibliográfica do marco teórico neo-schumpeteriano, consulta documental de políticas da Embrapa, análise de dados de Censo Agropecuário e entrevistas com 57 especialistas em inovação agrícola, transferência de tecnologia e agroinformática, de organizações públicas e privadas, nacionais e internacionais. Os resultados apontam para um conjunto de condicionantes externos, que influenciam internamente na empresa, como a falta da definição no País do papel da C&T enquanto indutora de desenvolvimento econômico e social; a dinâmica da ciência, cada vez mais baseada em redes colaborativas; a hierarquia de comando de cadeias produtivas agrícolas que interfere na decisão da tecnologia a ser adotada; a subordinação do agricultor às estruturas das cadeias produtivas; o fortalecimento da iniciativa privada na pesquisa agrícola e o deslocamento da pesquisa pública; a visão dicotômica ¿ agricultura familiar e empresarial ¿ que permeia políticas públicas; a heterogeneidade produtiva, de infraestrutura e socioeconômica dos agricultores; a elevada taxa de analfabetismo no meio rural; o alto grau de aversão ao risco do produtor rural na aquisição de nova tecnologia; a ausência de assistência técnica e extensão rural; a dualidade política de ministérios ligados ao mundo rural; a alta rotatividade de dirigentes da agricultura que reflete na indefinição de uma política agrícola de longo prazo. Os resultados indicam como condicionantes internos à Embrapa a sua estrutura organizacional fragmentada e rígida; a prevalência da visão linear que dificulta a visão sistêmica e de complementaridade; o planejamento estratégico esporádico; o sistema de inteligência que carece de pluralidade; a trajetória institucional da empresa que necessita ser alinhada ao contexto das mudanças da agricultura; a pouca autonomia das unidades descentralizadas; as dificuldades em celebrar parcerias com a iniciativa privada; a comunicação social pouco direcionada ao mercado; a valorização da produção científica em detrimento da tecnológica e o modelo mental de que o trabalho da pesquisa termina na publicação. As conclusões assinalam a necessidade da Embrapa se reposicionar no sistema de ciência, tecnologia e inovação. Para tanto, a empresa necessita operar com competências que vão além da pesquisa, intensificar suas interações com instituições que detém competências de mercado não associadas apenas à C&T e à P&D e engendrar um modelo organizacional sistêmico e horizontal que se reflita numa governança transversal da pesquisa<br>Abstract: The contribution of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) to the development of production and agricultural productivity in Brazil is well known and undeniable. In recent year doubts have been raised regarding the company current contribution to Brazilian rural producers, notably to small family farmers. Moreover, in the wake of deep structural changes in agricultural markets, the company has been under pressure to deliver positive results to the immediate benefit of Brazilian agriculture. This reality has brought the need to reflect about the mission of public agricultural research institutes and particularly on the role and scope of technology transfer to ensure research results reach its potential beneficiaries. The thesis deals with this issue and aimed to investigate the factors, endogenous and exogenous to Embrapa, which conditions, either contributing to or inhibiting, the transfer of its technologies for Brazilian agriculture. The methodological procedures used were: literature review of the neo-Schumpeterian theoretical framework, review of Embrapa¿s policy documents, Agricultural Census data analysis as well interviews with fifty seven experts in agricultural innovation, technology transfer and agro informatics, public and private, national and international organizations. Some exogenous factors are endogeneized and do exert influence on Embrapa¿s activities: the dubious role of S & T in the country development strategy; production of science increasingly based on collaborative networks; role of agricultural production chains on producer¿s decisions regarding adoption of alternative technology; subordination of farmers to supply chains¿ strategies; strengthening of private enterprises in agricultural research and displacement of public research; polarization of public policies between family and commercial agriculture; heterogeneity of Brazilian agriculture regarding production, infrastructure and socioeconomic indicators; high rate of illiteracy in rural areas; high degree of risk aversion of farmers; lack of technical assistance and rural extension services; political division between two ministries linked to the rural sector; high turnover of agricultural Ministers which reflects on the uncertainty of a long-term agricultural policy. The results point to a set of endogenous factors, such as Embrapa¿s fragmented and rigid organizational structure; prevalence of a linear view regarding that difficults the systemic vision and complementarity; sporadic strategic planning; lacking of plurality in the intelligence system; institutional trajectory of the company; limited autonomy of decentralized units; difficulties in establishing partnerships with private enterprises; limited focus of social communication targeted to markets; emphasis on scientific results rather than on technology itself technological and mental model which favors research and publications rather than its technological products. The results indicate the need for a repositioning of Embrapa in the system of science, technology and innovation. Therefore, the company must go beyond research, and enhance its interactions with institutions which have market skills and reorganize to a new systemic organizational model that reflects a cross-cutting governance research<br>Doutorado<br>Desenvolvimento Economico, Espaço e Meio Ambiente<br>Doutora em Desenvolvimento Econômico

Abstract:
In recent years there has been a growing literature that advocates various forms of participatory development. This is illustrated by the promotion of approaches/tools such as participatory rural appraisal (PRA), participatory technology development (PTD), and participatory process projects 1 These "new" approaches are fast taking on the form of a new generalised orthodoxy for solving development problems. It would seem from the perspective of some of the promoters of this orthodoxy that the problem of development is no longer one of not having the right approaches and methods, but one of getting recalcitrant policy makers, bureaucrats, academics to appreciate and adopt these new methods and techniques. My concerns with this new advocacy are that: i It does not relate to experience; ii It does not address issues of power structure and control over information and other resources in multiple and complex arenas of science and technology (S&T); iii By placing major emphasis on management approaches and tools, the new orthodoxy is cutting itself off from a critical reflective understanding of the deeper determinants of technical and social change. Unfortunately, I suspect that if this new orthodoxy does not develop a more critical reflective view of itself then, like previous dominant orthodoxies, it will soon have to develop a range of "escape hatches" to explain why these participatory approaches are not giving the results that their advocates promise.<br>AVOCADO series; v 06/95

A system dynamics model is developed to study the technology adoption process (TAP) of modern agriculture input technology such as the biotechnologies. The work shows that the system dynamics approach is appropriate to integrate the different components considered in the TAP conceptual framework elaborated in this work. The conceptual framework illustrates the different system components found important in the literature, portfolio decision-making, learning, information gathering, uncertainties and economics perceptions and their involved relationships.<br>The model is first calibrated and validated using the case of soybeans adoption versus corn uses in Quebec from 1987 to 1998. Validation is performed through five tests, namely visual, statistical and sensitivity, modularity and extendibility are performed to show the relevancy of the approach.<br>The model is then applied to the case of four input biotechnology crops. Again three types of validation tests are carried out. Results show that the model predicted the shape of the curve for all application fields.

Abstract:
Au Brésil, la canne à sucre sert de matière première à la fabrication de sucre, de carburant, et d’électricité. Ce modèle industriel a permis au pays d’ériger en avantage compétitif sa productivité en biomasse. Il a été promu en Afrique mais la majorité des projets d’agroénergies y a été un échec. Ce constat pose la question de l’intérêt du modèle au Brésil et du rôle des agroénergies dans une stratégie de développement. Notre analyse pose le « modèle brésilien » comme Système d’Innovation Technologique - le SIT de la canne - dont nous analysons la trajectoire de long terme afin d’en saisir les déterminants de succès et d’échec ainsi que le rôle socio-économique historique. Il se structure depuis la fin du XIXème et sert une stratégie de diversification des marchés de la canne à sucre par l’importation, l’adaptation et la diffusion des technologies nécessaires à l’essor de ces nouveaux marchés. La filière biocarburant a en particulier nécessité de créer un système technologique alternatif. Le soutien public a été déterminant dans l’évolution du SIT de la canne, façonnée par les crises sociales et économiques du pays. Par le SIT de la canne, le Brésil a pu former son capital humain à la valorisation du capital naturel, cela lui permet aujourd’hui d’expérimenter une conversion agroécologique du mode de culture, afin de régénérer le capital naturel sol.Notre analyse du modèle brésilien nous permet de préciser la fonction des agroénergies dans une stratégie de développement : elles sont avant tout un outil de soutien à l’économie agricole. Au regard de cela nous analysons les facteurs d’échecs des projets africains de jatropha-énergie et formulons une proposition pour la structuration d’un SIT des agroénergies adapté aux enjeux de développement de l’Afrique de l’Ouest, que nous proposons d’adosser à la filière oléagineuse<br>In Brazil, sugar cane is used as a raw material for the production of sugar, fuel, and electricity. This industrial model has enabled the country to build a competitive advantage on the biomass productivity of its soils. It has been promoted in Africa but the majority of African bioenergy projects have been a failure. This raises the question of the interest of the model in Brazil, of the role of bioenergy in a development strategy.The Brazilian model is a Technological Innovation System, the sugar cane TIS, which we analyze in the long term. Since the end of the 19th century, it has been structured to import, adapt and spread technologies in order to diversify sugar cane markets. The biofuel sector required the creation of an alternative technological system, financed by the State through the Proalcool Program (1975 to 1985); Created to absorb the surpluses of the sugar sector and for the energy security of the country. Public support was key in the evolution of the TIS, forged in the wake of the country's social and economic crises. The sugar cane TIS has enabled Brazil to train its human capital in the valorization of natural capital, which enables it today to experiment a new change : the agroecological conversion of the cane cultivation model, that would allow regenerating the Natural Capital soil. Based on our analysis of the Brazilian model we formulate an analysis of the factors of failure of the African jatropha biofuel projects and make a proposal for the structuring of a biofuel TIS adapted to West Africa stakes of development, which we suggest to back up to the oilseed chain<br>No Brasil, a cana-de-açúcar é utilizado como matéria-prima na fabricação de açúcar, combustível e eletricidade. Este modelo de negócio tem permitido ao país para transformar a produtividade de biomassa de seu solo em uma vantagem competitiva. Ele foi promovido na África, mas a maioria dos projetos de agroenergia africanos houve uma falha. Isso levanta a questão do interesse do modelo no Brasil, bem como o papel da bioenergia em uma estratégia de desenvolvimento. O modelo brasileiro é um Sistema de Inovação Tecnológica, o SIT da cana, que analisamos a longo prazo. Ele é estruturado desde o final do século XIX para importação, adaptação e difusão de tecnologias afim de diversificar os mercados de cana. O setor do etanol combustível tem necessidade de um sistema tecnologia alternativa, financiado pelo governo através do Programa Proálcool (1975-1985); ele foi criado para absorver os excedentes do sector do açúcar e para a segurança energética do país. O apoio público tem sido fundamental para a evolução do SIT, foi forjada pelas crises sociais e económicas do país. Hoje o SIT da cana-de-açúcar experimenta um modelo de produção agroecológica para o cultivo da cana, ele deveria ser capaz de regenerar o capital natural. Nossa análise do modelo brasileiro nos permite fazer uma análise dos fatores de não-sucesso dos projetos africanos de produção de biocombustível de jatropha.

Abstract:
Abstract The transition to agricultural sustainability is important yet complex due to the need for market integration among value chains. This study aims to examine the sources of externalities affecting Kuwait’s agricultural system. It uses PESTEL strategic analysis to identify the factors influencing the agricultural sector, and to bridge the gaps among the pillars contributing into agricultural sustainability. The study relies on local policy reviews and stylized facts in analyzing the political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal influencers on Kuwait’s agriculture. The PESTEL analysis shows that the political, economic, environmental, and legal practices negatively affect the agricultural production and threaten Kuwait’s food security targets. Nevertheless, concentrating on satisfying the rise in food demand, building consumer trust, and encouraging investments in agricultural innovation and R&amp;D are crucial policies for facilitating the transition to agricultural sustainability.

Abstract:
Abstract In the quest for more food production to feed the booming population of the modern world, maintaining plant health is critical to ensuring global food security. In this regard, one important field of study is the early and precise identification of plant diseases. Artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning approaches, in particular, have demonstrated encouraging advances in this subject in recent years. Using the “A Database of Leaf Images: Practice towards Plant Conservation with Plant Pathology” dataset, this study explores the use of deep learning-based methods for the diagnosis of plant diseases. The research evaluates the effectiveness of well-known deep transfer learning models, including VGG16, GoogleNet, ResNet50, and DarkNet53, in correctly sorting leaf images into healthy and unhealthy categories. The results showed great promise, especially for DarkNet53, which achieved an accuracy of 99.7%. VGG16 and ResNet50 followed with 97% and 90% accuracy, respectively. Through the provision of a unique approach to early disease diagnosis, assistance in maintaining crop health and reduction of agricultural waste, these findings contribute to sustainability. By using cutting-edge deep learning technology to potentially improve food security, promote human health, foster agricultural technological advancement, encourage sustainable production practices, and support climate adaptation efforts, the current study is said to be in line with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well-Being, Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, Responsible Consumption and Production, and Climate Action.

AbstractIn this chapter, we examine the role of knowledge processes in the form of local practice, research, innovation and education in agroecology transformations. Knowledge and power are intimately linked; the questions of ‘what knowledge’ and ‘whose knowledge’ is valued are vitally important. We review the informal (outside of institutions) and formal knowledge processes that have been found to support agroecology. These affirm and enable the knowledge systems of agricultural producers, especially those of women and youth. We further discuss how the combination of scientific knowledge with local and traditional knowledge is important in agroecology transformations. Unfortunately, mainstream knowledge systems often disable agroecology because they privilege outside and top-down processes of knowledge transfer that invalidate local, farmer and indigenous knowledges.

Abstract:
AbstractThere is a need to undertake comprehensive, analytical, reflective, descriptive, and critical research on the China–Africa relationship in Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) by including spheres in agriculture, manufacturing and services. The fourth industrial revolution is changing the STI collaboration and competition globally. How digital STI is impacting on the China–Africa relations need to be explored and examined. STI has played a major role by applying technology transfer in industry, agriculture, economy, social, infrastructure, trading, and education spheres. Technology transfer in the history of China–Africa relations has not been systematically researched. The information is spread with the views that are not backed with suitable empirical evidence. Technology transfer from industry, government, universities, and programs on China–Africa exchanges is to be done with full evidence and not opinions with negative messages that continue to spread. The evidence-based technology transfer research must be used to generate policy learning both to China and Africa to develop mutually beneficial relationship that can serve as a model for the rest of the world. This paper provides an overview of the technology transfer question in China–Africa relations with examples of technology transfers by China to different actors in Africa with recommendation to undertake further research.

Abstract:
The use of the potential of the land and the natural resources of the new generations in the separate regions are the main prerequisite and basis for the development of a certain type of multifunctional agriculture. The process of continuity should be seen as a process and not as a one-off action or event. The aim of the study is to analyze the process of inheritance in agriculture, as a socio-economic method for ensuring the viability of rural areas. The analysis is based on empirical evidence - cases from family farms and young heirs in rural areas of Bulgaria. The transfer of farm management to the next generation must be organized. Otherwise, the alternative is clear: resettlement from rural areas, a rapidly aging population and insufficient young people to enter the sector. Recognizing the importance of continuity, the Common Agricultural Policy provides training and funding to encourage young people to engage in agricultural activities.

Full text
Abstract:
Specific Research Objective. Develop a theory of technology adoption to analyze the role of promotional tools such as advertising, product sampling, demonstrations, money back guarantees and warranties in inducing technological change. Use this theory to develop criteria for assessing the optimal use of marketing activities in launching new agricultural input technologies. Apply the model to analyze existing patterns of marketing budget allocation among promotional tools for various agricultural input industries in the United States and Israel. Background to the Topic. Marketing tools (money-back guarantees [MBG] demonstration, free sampling and advertising) are used extensively to induce the adoption of agricultural inputs, but there is little understanding of their impacts on the diffusion of new technologies. The agricultural economic literature on technology adoption ignores marketing efforts by the private sector, which may result in misleading extension and technology transfer policies. There is a need to integrate marketing and economic approaches in analyzing technology adoption, especially in the area of agricultural inputs. Major Conclusion. Marketing tools play an important role in reducing uncertainties about product performance. They assist potential buyers to learn both about objective features, about a product, and about product fit to the buyer's need. Tools, such as MBGs and demonstration, provide different information about product fit but also require different degrees of cost for the consumer. In some situations they can be complimentary and optimal strategy combines the use of both. In other situations there will be substitution. Sampling is used to reduce the uncertainty about non-durable goods. An optimal level of informational tools declines throughout the life of a product but stays positive at a steady state. Implications. Recognizing the heterogeneity of consumers and the sources of their uncertainty about new technologies is crucial to develop a marketing strategy that will enhance the adoption of innovation. When fit uncertainty is high, allowing an MBG option, as well as a demonstration, may be an optimal strategy to enhance adoption.

Abstract:
This working papers offers an impact evaluation of two innovative programs cash transfer schemes from the Mexican Government: PROGRESA, which is a national anti-poverty scheme directed at chronic rural poverty, and PROCAMPO, a scheme designed to compensate farmers for the negative price effects of NAFTA. The analysis of data collected for an evaluation of PROGRESA suggests that the overall level of food consumption and health check-ups is lower among PROGRESA households that also participate in PROCAMPO. The overall conclusions are that program conditionality does influence longer-term (human capital) and medium term (productive) investment decisions, the receipt of multiple forms of treatment by beneficiaries can affect the overall impact of each individual program, and conditional transfers may have muted effects among agricultural households in the face of market imperfections.

Full text
Abstract:
In the Cesar Department in Colombia, sustainable agriculture faces critical challenges despite its thriving livestock sector. Extensive cattle ranching and poor soil management worsen soil conditions. Additionally, significant environmental concerns arise from the substantial discharge of wastewater in the dairy processing industry. This study aims to valorize biosolids derived from wastewater during dairy plant disinfection to enhance sustainable livestock production. It explores the use of biosolids as the primary matrix for creating composted compounds and biopolymers for agricultural purposes. These composite materials utilize composted biosolids from the dairy industry as the main matrix (60%), blended with biodegradable polymers such as polybutylene adipate succinate (PBSA) and polylactic acid (PLA) as functional agents. This innovative approach contrasts with the prevailing literature on composite polymer materials, where polymers typically form the matrix and agricultural residues serve as fillers. Biosolids from Freskaleche S.A. undergo controlled thermal treatment and composting before being combined with PBSA and PLA polymers using an internal mixer. The development of these new compounds includes the evaluation of thermal stability, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and mechanical properties. It is noteworthy that Compost/PBSA composites exhibit promising compatibility and thermomechanical properties resembling pure PBSA, suggesting their potential as thermoplastic materials for producing plastic-based agricultural products. Regarding Compost/PLA blends, compost enhances chemical reactions in PLA polymeric chains, significantly altering their thermomechanical properties. This research provides valuable insights into the use of biosolids for manufacturing composite materials, offering a sustainable approach to address agricultural challenges in the Cesar region.

Abstract:
The GreenSeeker Handheld crop sensor is an innovative diagnostic tool that farmers can use to improve their fertilizer use efficiency. Over the last decade, farmers in the Yaqui Valley, Sonora, Mexico, widely adopted the technology. Adoption led to significant increases in profits for farmers as well as avoided greenhouse gas emissions. Despite this success, adoption declined sharply in the 2015–2016 growing season. RTI researchers collaborated with the International Wheat and Maize Improvement Center (CIMMYT) to analyze the average costs and benefits of use of the GreenSeeker in addition to the amount of reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. We provide the initial results of these analyses and lessons learned that can help inform dissemination of sustainable agricultural technology transfer.

Abstract:
Asia has experienced widespread transformation and growth, accompanied by increased demographic pressure, greater intensification of agricultural production, industrialization, and urbanization. This economic growth has been very resource- and carbon-intensive, while climate change has triggered or exacerbated behaviors and defense mechanisms that have come at the expense of the natural environment. Therefore, we examine and compare three Asian Development Bank (ADB) projects in two member countries of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation: one in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and two in Mongolia that relate to sustainable green development and use innovative financial mechanisms, and behavior-changing nudges. We provide comparative analyses and aim to demonstrate effective, innovative, and sustainable green finance and green transformation approaches in these two countries to address these pressures. The ADB–PRC loan for the Anhui Huangshan Xin’an River Ecological Protection and Green Development project aims to help Huangshan municipality reduce water pollution in the Xin’an River Basin, which is part of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The project is piloting innovative green financing mechanisms to reduce rural pollution and complement the ongoing interprovincial eco-compensation scheme while supporting green agroecological businesses through two interventions: the Green Investment Fund and the Green Incentive Mechanism. In Mongolia, ADB and the Government of Mongolia have developed two large-scale transformative projects using integrated design and innovative green financing mechanisms to leverage private sector investment: (i) Aimags and Soums Green Regional Development Investment Program, which aims to promote green urban–rural linkages, green agribusiness development, natural capital, rangeland regeneration, and soil carbon sequestration through the (ii) Ulaanbaatar Green Affordable Housing and Resilient Urban Renewal Project, which aims to transform Ulaanbaatar’s vulnerable and substandard peri-urban areas into low-carbon, resilient eco-districts that provide access to green affordable housing.

Full text
Abstract:
Published under the Kampala Technical Paper Series, this report presents research undertaken by the members of Technical Working Group (TWG) 5 under the framework of the Post-Malabo Agenda development process. The report focuses on the potential of inclusive and sustainable agro-industrialization to structurally transform Africa’s agrifood and economic systems and support the goals of Agenda 2063. Agro-industrialization has a wide range of benefits, including promoting technological innovation and technology diffusion, creating off-farm employment opportunities, improving access to safe and nutritious foods, facilitating value addition and reduction of post-harvest losses, and shifting economic resources to higher productivity sectors, giving rise to economic transformation. Agro-industrialization plays a central role in reducing poverty by linking smallholder farmers to growing urban markets and increasing the income generation potential of the large informal agrifood processing sector. Inclusive industrialization is key to addressing barriers and reducing the inequalities that limit the capacity of women and youth to generate incomes and build assets from agriculture. Advancing agro-industrialization requires significant investments, political commitment, and coordination and should, therefore, be considered a critical component of the CAADP Post-Malabo Agenda.

Centre for Excellence and Development Impact and Learning (CEDIL), 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.51744/crpp7.

Full text
Abstract:
There is scarce evidence on whether and how assistance in humanitarian emergencies and conflict settings impacts household well-being and behaviour. Conducting rigorous impact evaluations in such settings poses multiple challenges in design and data collection. In SEEDS, we evaluate the impact of a complex large-scale multi-arm agricultural intervention on productivity, food security, and resilience in the context of an on-going humanitarian crisis in Syria. Specifically, we identify the causal impacts of agricultural asset transfers over various time horizons (the short-, medium-, and long-run), and across different conditions and subgroups (gender and conflict intensity) at the household-level. We evaluate the effectiveness of irrigation rehabilitation separately at the community-level. We use and combine various data sources, including a unique survey panel dataset collected over a period of four years from multiple governorates in Syria, satellite remote-sensing data, and publicly available violent conflict incidence and weather data. Our findings from using cutting-edge machine and deep learning approaches together with innovative balancing and analytical methods can be summarised as follows: For average treatment effects at the household-level, we find that the provision of agricultural asset support leads to significant improvements in food security in the short- and long-term, three years after the intervention. The positive and significant effect on food security is driven mainly by the increased consumption of healthy food items such as vegetables. In the long-run, livestock support reduces the use of harmful coping strategies households employ to deal with food shortages. Interestingly, we find that households who received vegetable kits are not just less likely to sell their productive assets in the long-term but also are less likely to marry off their young daughters or send their children to work. Overall, we find that both agricultural and livestock asset support is key to improving households’ resilience in the long-term. The irrigation rehabilitation interventions at the community-level positively affected agricultural productivity compared to the pre-intervention and pre-conflict periods. However, these effects were only significantly pronounced in the spring season. As for the heterogeneity analysis, we find that female-headed households benefit remarkably more in terms of food security in the medium-term compared to male-headed families. Moreover, households residing in areas that are moderately affected by violent conflict show stronger food security improvements compared to households from peaceful or conflict-intense settings. Overall, we draw three overarching lessons from our findings in SEEDS: First, agricultural support in protracted conflict settings effectively improves the long-term welfare and resilience of vulnerable households. In fact, the presence of an ongoing humanitarian operation acts as a social safety net if circumstances deteriorate suddenly. Second, not all interventions are equally effective, and not all households equally benefit, underscoring the need to design and implement inclusive context-specific interventions with detailed targeting. Third, methodologically, using multiple remote data sources and machine learning methods help overcome challenges in conducting rigorous impact evaluations in hard-to-reach humanitarian emergency settings.

As the research arm of Wildlife Services, a program within the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), NWRC develops methods and information to address human-wildlife conflicts related to agriculture, human health and safety, property damage, invasive species, and threatened and endangered species. The NWRC is the only Federal research facility in the United States devoted entirely to the development of methods for effective wildlife damage management, and it’s research authority comes from the Animal Damage Control Act of 1931. The NWRC’s research priorities are based on nationwide research needs assessments, congressional directives, APHIS Wildlife Services program needs, and stakeholder input. The Center is committed to helping resolve the ever-expanding and changing issues associated with human-wildlife conflict management and remains well positioned to address new issues through proactive efforts and strategic planning activities. NWRC research falls under four principal areas that reflect APHIS’ commitment to “protecting agricultural and natural resources from agricultural animal and plant health threats, zoonotic diseases, invasive species, and wildlife conflicts and diseases”. In addition to the four main research areas, the NWRC maintains support functions related to animal care, administration, information transfer, archives, quality assurance, facility development, and legislative and public affairs.
