?
This document discusses mechanisms by which CGIAR centers support the recognition and promotion of Farmers' Rights. It notes that Farmers' Rights need to co-exist with intellectual property rights over new varieties. The CGIAR recognizes Farmers' Rights in its Intellectual Assets Principles. The document discusses what Farmers' Rights mean, including the right to conserve and use genetic resources, and measures that support Farmers' Rights such as participatory plant breeding and community seed banks. It recommends developing guidelines to support Farmers' Rights implementation and balancing Farmers' Rights with intellectual property rights.
Rakesh Kumar presented on Sixth Sense technology, a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world with digital information. It allows users to interact with surfaces like walls and objects using natural hand gestures captured by a camera and processed by a smartphone to project digital information back onto the surfaces. Some applications include telling time by drawing a circle on the wrist, getting product information through image recognition, and zooming in maps using pinch gestures. The presenter concluded Sixth Sense can help integrate digital information into everyday objects without isolating users from the physical world.
C1.1. Tracking Public Investments in AR4D: Lessons from OECD Reviews & DAC CRSGCARD Conferences
?
This document discusses tools for tracking public investments in food security and agriculture (FS & AG), including lessons learned from OECD reviews. It outlines the UNECA-OECD Monitoring and Reporting on Development Effectiveness in Africa (MRDE) initiative and OECD Development Assistance Committee's Creditor Reporting System (CRS) as two existing mechanisms. The CRS provides basic aid data by sector but its agricultural research tracking is incomplete. The document recommends improving CRS guidance and reporting of agricultural research and development (AR4D) funding to provide a more comprehensive picture. It stresses the importance of partnering with relevant organizations and stakeholders in developing an effective long-term AR4D funding tracking system.
P3.1. Working with (inter)regional innovation platforms: CRP on Roots, Tubers...GCARD Conferences
?
This document discusses the structure and impact pathways of the RTB program on roots, tubers and bananas. It outlines three types of innovation platforms - value chain, varietal development, and cropping systems. It also discusses action research being done on partnerships within these platforms. Key challenges to partnerships for outcomes include limited engagement beyond research institutions and a need for better coordination across programs and platforms. The document proposes several linkage mechanisms between programs and platforms to help address these challenges.
The document discusses INIA, the National Agricultural Research Institute of Uruguay. It was created in 1989 as a public non-state organization co-funded by farmers organizations and the national government. Previously, agricultural research was conducted within the Ministry of Agriculture. INIA is now the major organization for agricultural technology R&D in Uruguay. It operates with autonomy under private management rules and contracts with both public and private domestic and international partners. Its main objective is to generate and provide technology to benefit farmers through a demand-driven model.
The document shows trends in CGIAR funding from 2011-2012. It includes two charts - one showing the executed budget trends for unrestricted, restricted, and fund disbursements from 2000-2010, with totals fluctuating between $200-800 million. The second chart shows CGIAR fund receipts grew 33% from 2011-2012, with window 1 (W1) decreasing 34% and window 2 (W2) increasing 175% between the two years. Total receipts were $384 million in 2011 and $514 million in 2012.

While the research agenda is growing, there remains limited concrete evidence on how agriculture–nutrition linkages work. A mapping exercise has been completed by DFID/LCIRAH outlining the research gaps. However more nutrition-relevant data from agricultural interventions needs to be generated, collected and shared, and nutritional indicators need to be included in evaluations. LCIRAH identify the need for greater understanding of the pathways from agricultural inputs and practices through value chains to effects on food environment, consumption and nutrition.
