Wheat Rust Toolbox Related to New Initiatives on Yellow RustICARDA
油
This document discusses the Wheat Rust Toolbox and its potential contributions to a new yellow rust initiative. The Toolbox was originally developed for tracking wheat rust pathogens in Europe. It utilizes an online surveillance system to monitor rust pathogens worldwide and share data on virulence and pathotypes with partners. The authors propose several ways the Toolbox could be enhanced to support a new yellow rust initiative, including improving early warning surveillance, incorporating additional host and pathogen data, enabling epidemic risk analysis, and better integrating with partner information systems.

The document discusses the concepts of Food, Energy, and Water (FEW) and their interlinkages. It describes the Solar Universities Network (SUN) which has 72 registered universities working towards sustainability goals. The network is establishing guidelines around campus water, energy, and plastics use to help universities become carbon neutral. It also presents various perspectives on FEW such as production for food versus fodder, large versus small systems, and using FEW for multiple purposes.
Just Add Water: Approaches to Smart Agricultural Water ManagementICARDA
油
1) The document discusses approaches to smart agricultural water management including using water more productively, increasing water availability through small reservoirs and managed aquifer recharge, and bringing innovations such as solar irrigation under smarter water management.
2) It notes that water is the first and worst hit resource by climate change and is vital, connecting sectors. The Global Commission on Adaptation report emphasizes helping small-scale producers manage risks and making agriculture climate smart.
3) Pilot projects on on-grid and off-grid solar solutions for irrigation can provide energy access, food security, and incomes while diversifying power grids and reducing costs for farmers.
The DryArc Initiative aims to develop innovative and resilient agri-food systems in dryland regions through a global partnership. It will pursue two pathways: 1) combining existing technologies into systemic innovations tailored to each context, and 2) accelerating the scaling up of impact-targeted innovations. Over four phases from 2019-2030, DryArc will co-design solutions with stakeholders, strengthen capacities, and establish an enabling environment through decision support, monitoring and evaluation, and attracting investment. The goal is to transform agri-food systems and support food/nutrition security and employment in dryland regions vulnerable to problems like land degradation, water scarcity, and climate change impacts.

油
This document discusses the role of higher and vocational education in developing skills for agricultural transformation in Africa. It notes that while there are many collaborative projects focusing on research, education, and development, higher education and vocational training institutions do not always collaborate effectively. Specifically, vocational training is often focused on production rather than broader sector transformation. There are opportunities to better connect capacity development projects with development projects through student internships and theses. Improved collaboration between higher education, vocational education, and the private sector could enhance skills development and relevance for employment.

This document summarizes a presentation on powering dry areas through food security under climate change. It discusses critical factors like extreme poverty, environmental degradation, and climate impacts. Key themes in Tunisia include effects of climate change on agriculture/food security as population grows. The most pressing priorities are enhancing water productivity, crop improvement, managing salinity, and integrated livestock. Achievable goals include conserving water, developing drought/salt tolerant varieties, reducing yield gaps, and regional technology sharing. Key actors are researchers, farmers, and international organizations. Overall, it stresses the need for collaborative research on scenarios to ensure food/nutrition security under challenges like resource degradation and climate change.
