Scherr, Scaling Up Carbon Trading In Land Use 3 09World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

��

The document discusses the potential for agriculture and forestry to mitigate climate change on a global scale. It argues that these sectors could have a huge impact through emissions reductions and carbon sequestration in working landscapes. However, the climate change community remains skeptical due to concerns about permanence, measurement, and whether impacts can be achieved at sufficient scale. The document outlines three key challenges: achieving impacts at large enough scale, facilitating community planning efforts, and generating sufficient market incentives for producers. It then provides examples of initiatives that demonstrate these challenges can be overcome to fully include agriculture and forestry in climate action.

The Global Sustainability Fellows Program is a 3 week graduate program held in Costa Rica from July 6-23, 2014 where participants will stay with local families, take part in theoretical modules and group work, develop eco-literacy through fieldwork in a local community, create a sustainable development plan for that community, present the plan and hold workshops, and build a network of young professionals focused on sustainability.

Towards sustainable intensification of Maize-Legume cropping systems: Kenya e...Joanna Hicks

��

The SIMLESA project in Kenya tested conservation agriculture practices to improve maize-legume production for smallholders. Researchers studied the effects of minimal tillage and residue retention on soil properties, water use efficiency, and crop yields over multiple seasons. Results showed that conservation agriculture practices increased water use efficiency and more than doubled maize yields compared to conventional tillage. Crop modeling with APSIM also accurately predicted yields under different management systems. While adoption of conservation agriculture provided benefits, some challenges like residue competition and lack of farm implements remained barriers for smallholders.

��

This document summarizes the findings of the SIMLESA program in Ethiopia which tested Conservation Agriculture (CA) practices versus conventional tillage methods for maize-legume cropping systems. Key findings include: 1) CA practices such as no-tillage, crop rotation, and residue retention led to increased maize yields of over 32% in mid-altitude sub-humid zones compared to conventional tillage. 2) Benefits of CA included improved soil fertility through increased soil organic matter, better soil and water conservation, and weed control. Intercropping also increased total land productivity and resource use efficiency. 3) Widespread adoption of CA practices could increase agricultural productivity and food security in

The effect of tillage practice and residue management on wheat yield and yiel...Joanna Hicks

��

This document summarizes a study on the effects of tillage practices and residue management on wheat yield and stability in two agricultural environments in Mexico. In a rainfed highland system in El Batán, zero tillage with full residue retention produced the highest average yield and was more stable than conventional tillage. In an irrigated wheat system in Cd. Obregón, permanent beds with full residue retention yielded the highest and were the most stable. Conservation agriculture practices led to improved yields, especially under more adverse rainfed conditions, but removing or burning all crop residue was found to be unsustainable.

Increasing rainfall-use efficiency for dryland crops on duplex soils. Peter SaleJoanna Hicks

��

This document discusses a new technique called "subsoil manuring" that aims to increase crop yields on duplex soils in southeast Australia. The technique involves deep ripping clay subsoils and incorporating organic matter like lucerne pellets to improve soil structure and water retention. Early research results show the technique increased wheat yields by 60-100% compared to untreated soils, and improved the subsoil's ability to retain water during summer fallows and support more root growth. While the input costs of subsoil manuring with poultry litter are estimated at $670-950 per hectare, the technique has generated great interest among local farmers for improving productivity of problem clay soils.

��

This document summarizes a study on the impact of trash management and tillage on soybean productivity in sugarcane farming systems. The study tested different combinations of trash management (full trash retention, partial removal through baling, or burning) and tillage intensity (conventional tillage, strip tillage, or direct drilling). Strip tillage was found to improve soybean establishment and early growth compared to direct drilling, while maintaining comparable yields to conventional tillage. Strip tillage addresses subsoil constraints while maintaining surface cover benefits. The results suggest strip tillage warrants further commercial evaluation as it can facilitate reduced tillage within a controlled traffic system to deliver soil health benefits.

Sustainable Intensification of Maize-Legume Cropping Systems for Food Securit...FMNR Hub

��

SIMLESA is a project aimed at sustainably intensifying maize and legume production in Eastern and Southern Africa through conservation agriculture practices and improved varieties. Over its first 5 years, SIMLESA worked with national agricultural research partners in 5 countries to test promising cropping systems, increase the availability of improved seeds, and build regional innovation systems. Key lessons included the need to link smallholder farms to domestic and international value chains, engage agribusiness, and integrate value chain, technology, capacity building and policy work through innovation platforms. Sustainable intensification requires systems research, innovation systems bridging research and scaling, attention to policies and partnerships, and strong monitoring and evaluation of impact.

��

The SIMLESA initiative aims to enhance food security in Eastern and Southern Africa by improving maize and legume yields by 30% and reducing yield risks for 500,000 households within ten years. It addresses challenges such as low productivity, climate change, and limited access to improved seeds through a systems innovation approach that fosters partnerships and market development. Lessons from the program suggest the need for a tailored strategy if similar initiatives are to be applied in Asia, where diverse farming systems exist.

Nick Austin presentation to Food Security Forum AdelaideJoanna Hicks

��

The document outlines a strategic framework for Australia's international agricultural research investments to increase their impact. It proposes increasing funding and targeting priority countries and regions, including Africa. The framework focuses on jointly identifying research themes with developing country partners, establishing long-term partnerships, and taking new approaches like team-based programs and engaging more with global research initiatives like the CGIAR. The goal is for Australian agricultural research to substantially increase the number of poor and food insecure people that benefit.

Carbon footprint of crop production due to shift from conventional to CA. Ran...Joanna Hicks

��

The document discusses carbon footprints of different crop production scenarios in Bihar, India. Four scenarios were studied: (1) farmer practice of rice-wheat, (2) best available practices including conservation tillage, (3) conservation agriculture with zero-tillage and residue retention, and (4) diversified system with rice-maize-cowpea. Carbon footprints were estimated based on diesel used for tillage and electricity for irrigation. Scenario 4 had the lowest carbon footprint due to reduced tillage, residue retention and crop diversification.

��

1) The document discusses experiments on using rice straw mulching to improve productivity of no-till wheat grown after rice in Bangladesh. 2) Short-term rice straw mulching for 20 days after sowing was found to be as effective as retaining straw mulch, in conserving soil moisture, reducing weeds, improving nitrogen uptake and wheat root growth. 3) Both short-term mulching and retaining straw mulch led to higher wheat yields compared to no mulch. The optimum nitrogen level for highest yields was found to be 115-122 kg/ha depending on mulch treatment.

Making CA ever green. Dennis GarrityJoanna Hicks

��

This document discusses conservation agriculture and agroforestry practices that incorporate trees. It provides examples from several African countries of how using trees such as Faidherbia albida has increased maize yields, improved soil fertility, and transformed agricultural landscapes. National programs in countries like Malawi, Niger, and Kenya aim to increase tree cover on farms through agroforestry in order to boost food security and restore degraded lands. [/SUMMARY]

Adoption of CA practices: evidence of interdependence in plot level farmer te...Joanna Hicks

��

This study examines the adoption of conservation agriculture practices (CAPs) among smallholder farmers in Tanzania. It finds that the adoption of different CAPs is interdependent, with practices often adopted as complements or substitutes. The likelihood of adoption is influenced by factors like production risk, access to extension services and markets, social networks, land characteristics, and farm size. Promoting CAP adoption requires properly targeting practices based on agroecology and improving farmers' organizations, market linkages, education, and extension services.

Soil and yield improvements from controlled traffic farming on a red chromoso...Joanna Hicks

��

Controlled traffic farming (CTF) improved soil structure and increased crop yields compared to conventional wheel traffic (C) methods on a Red Chromosol soil in South Australia over 6 years. Yields were 12-22% greater with CTF in 5 of the 6 years. Deep ripping had no effect on yields. CTF resulted in better soil structure with increased stable soil aggregates over 2mm and greater water infiltration rates compared to C. CTF also showed signs of improved root growth but the impacts on root morphology and response to diseases or stresses were not fully explained. The results were similar to those found on a Black Vertosol, indicating the benefits of CTF can apply across soil types.

��

This study compared different soil tillage systems and crop rotations for wheat production in Turkey's Central Anatolian Plateau region. The objectives were to evaluate the effects of tillage and previous crops on wheat yield under both irrigated and rainfed conditions. Field experiments from 2002-2007 compared conventional tillage, reduced tillage, and no-till under various crop rotations. The results showed that under rainfed conditions, no-till produced the highest wheat yields. Under irrigated conditions, reduced tillage and no-till with sugar beet or bean crop rotations produced the highest wheat yields. Adopting alternative tillage practices and crop rotations could improve wheat yields and farm profits in the region.

��

The document evaluates the effects of minimum tillage (MT) and conventional tillage (CT) systems on maize yield and soil fertility in western Ethiopia over 5 years. MT with residue retention (MTRR) increased average maize yields by 6.6% compared to MT with residue removal (MTRV) and 12.2% compared to CT. MTRR also increased yields more during drought years. MTRR improved soil organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium levels compared to MTRV and CT. The recommended nitrogen fertilizer rate of 92 kg/ha was appropriate for all tillage systems.

Controlled traffic/permanent bed farming reduces GHG emissions. Jeff TullbergJoanna Hicks

��

Controlled traffic/permanent bed farming reduces greenhouse gas emissions by using permanent traffic lanes that minimize soil compaction compared to conventional tillage. A pilot study found nitrous oxide emissions were 5-7 times higher in permanent traffic lanes compared to non-wheeled permanent beds. As controlled traffic farming only wheels 10-20% of the area while conventional farming wheels 50% or more, controlled traffic farming is expected to reduce soil emissions by over 50%. Improved soil health and water use efficiency with controlled traffic farming may also increase carbon input into soils. Further research is still needed across different environments.

��

This document discusses the principles and benefits of controlled traffic farming (CTF). It summarizes CTF as involving permanent wheel tracks, matched machinery, and zonal management to improve soil health and farming efficiencies. The document outlines six key aspects of CTF systems: 1) controlled traffic, 2) designed field layouts, 3) no-till and controlled traffic, 4) new spatial technologies, 5) automated measurement and management tools, and 6) triple bottom line outcomes of increased profits, lower costs, and improved environmental sustainability.

Production systems for the future: balancing trade-offs between food producti...Joanna Hicks

��

The document discusses balancing trade-offs between food production, environment, livelihoods, and efficiency in future production systems. It notes the need to feed a growing population while maintaining or reducing environmental impacts. Mixed crop-livestock systems currently produce much of the world's food but face increasing pressures from population growth, urbanization, and rising demand for food and livestock products. Sustainable intensification of these systems will be important to close yield gaps while improving efficiency. Trade-offs between different outcomes need to be considered at farm and broader scales.

��

This document summarizes a study on sustainable intensification of maize-bean production among smallholder farmers in western Kenya using conservation agriculture (CA) principles. The study found that combining minimal tillage and residue retention increased water use efficiency, soil organic matter, and maize yields by over 100% compared to conventional practices. It also found that rhizobial inoculation increased bean yields. Modeling with APSIM showed a high degree of accuracy in predicting maize and bean yields under CA. While CA practices showed promising results, challenges remain around competition for crop residues and lack of appropriate small-scale farm implements.

��

1) The document discusses how summer rainfall can benefit wheat production in Mediterranean environments of South Australia that typically receive most rainfall in winter. 2) Adding simulated summer rainfall of 50-100mm increased wheat shoot dry matter, PAR interception, and soil water content compared to control plots with only background rainfall. 3) Nitrogen is important for capturing the benefits of summer rainfall to maximize wheat yields.

Biomass shifts and suppresses weed populations under CA. Michael MulvaneyJoanna Hicks

��

The document summarizes a study on the effects of conservation agriculture practices including cover crops and organic mulches on weed suppression, soil carbon, and collard yields over three years in central-eastern Alabama. Key findings include: 1) Forage soybean was not effective at weed suppression while mulches improved control of broadleaf weeds and sedges after the first year; 2) Weed populations shifted from broadleaves and sedges to more grasses in the second year; and 3) Transitioning to conservation agriculture practices increased soil organic carbon levels but yields were unaffected by mulching or cover crops.

Stubble retention in cropping in South East Australia: benefits and challenge...Joanna Hicks

��

Professor Len Wade discusses the benefits and challenges of stubble retention in cropping systems in South-East Australia. He finds that stubble retention can improve soil moisture storage and potentially increase soil organic carbon in the long-term. However, yield benefits of stubble retention compared to stubble burning are mixed and depend on growing season rainfall. In wet years, stubble retention may decrease yields due to issues like disease, slugs, and soil compaction. Strategic tillage or burning may still be necessary to manage these challenges.

Agroforestry adaptation and mitigation options for smallholder farmers vulner...Joanna Hicks

��

This document discusses how agroforestry can help smallholder farmers adapt to and mitigate climate change effects. It finds that agroforestry systems can buffer farmers against increasing temperatures, variable precipitation, and extreme weather by regulating microclimates and conserving water and soil resources. Agroforestry also sequesters carbon in trees and soil, reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. Implementing agroforestry can thus increase farmers' resilience to climate change while also providing livelihood and mitigation co-benefits.

��

Farming systems are becoming more complex as farms increase in size but have less available labor and management attention. This widens the gap between efficient and inefficient farms. Embodied innovations that directly provide benefits through use are adopted more readily than information-intensive innovations requiring ongoing management decisions. The value of innovations that increase convenience is growing. Agricultural advisors play a key role in supporting the adoption of complex innovations. Research must consider both relative economic advantage and management convenience to facilitate adoption of new technologies and farming systems changes.

This document analyzes the carbon footprint and energy use of fresh tomatoes produced through different methods for the Sydney consumer market. It finds that field production in Bundaberg has the lowest carbon footprint and energy use, followed by low-tech greenhouse production in Sydney, with medium-tech greenhouse production having the highest impacts due to artificial heating needs. Key hotspots contributing to the footprint include fertilizers, pesticides, diesel, packaging, electricity, and transport. The document recommends eating locally grown field tomatoes in season as the best option environmentally.

Adopt: adoption and diffusion outcome prediction tool. Geoff KuehneJoanna Hicks

The ADOPT tool aims to predict adoption rates and levels of specific agricultural practices using a conceptual framework. The framework considers how population characteristics and the innovation's learnability influence the learning of an innovation's relative advantage. This relative advantage then determines the peak adoption level and time to reach that level. The tool is intended to help inform research, development, and extension strategies and make adoption considerations more accessible.

��

This document discusses evidence that agroforestry and agrivoltaic systems, which mix crops and trees or solar panels respectively, can have unexpectedly high productivity. It presents land equivalent ratio (LER) values greater than 1 found in studies of such systems, indicating higher total land productivity than growing the components separately. Process-based models are used to analyze interactions between system components that could explain high LERs, such as light competition being compensated by reduced water and heat stress. The document concludes these systems may contribute significantly to increasing global agricultural productivity.

THE PSYCHOANALYTIC OF THE BLACK CAT BY EDGAR ALLAN POE (1).pdfnabilahk908

��

Psychoanalytic Analysis of The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe explores the deep psychological dimensions of the narrator’s disturbed mind through the lens of Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory. According to Freud (1923), the human psyche is structured into three components: the Id, which contains primitive and unconscious desires; the Ego, which operates on the reality principle and mediates between the Id and the external world; and the Superego, which reflects internalized moral standards. In this story, Poe presents a narrator who experiences a psychological breakdown triggered by repressed guilt, aggression, and internal conflict. This analysis focuses not only on the gothic horror elements of the narrative but also on the narrator’s mental instability and emotional repression, demonstrating how the imbalance of these three psychic forces contributes to his downfall.
