This year the chair of scientific IBMA and the pioneer of the brain re-engineering initiative (BRI), Ikechi Agbugba, PhD, MBA , is inviting you to the IBMA Internation Confrence on Business Models in Agricultuer that will be taking place in Kenya, Naivasha in March. He is the writer of “Unveiling the concept of brain re-engineering in Agriculture and Food production” in our latest magazine issue (link in comment) from page 53. In his write-up, he discussed the concept of brain re-engineering, the pillars of this concept, and reimagination. He also tackled the perception problem, empowering the youth in agriculture, its advantages, and its recommendations. omondi OSCAR-McAndang'O Enock Sangaka Mong'are Bernard Mukuria Tess M.

The submissions can be in the areas listed below, but not limited to it.Conference ObjectivesThe conference aims to address the following key objectives:To explore climate change’s impact on South Asia’s agriculture.Discuss effective adaptation strategies at the farm and policy levels.To share knowledge and best practices on climate-smart agriculture.Visit at: https://lnkd.in/drJAbHxV#conference #research #IMFR #KREA #phd #faculty

🌿 🍉 Opportunities and boundaries of agro-ecological approaches in fruit and vegetable production systems in Kenya 🍉 🌿Our ATSAF Academy JST Scholar Alex Eeman Aule explores agro-ecological approaches of fruit and vegetable production systems in East-African drylands. More specifically, this collaboration between Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen & Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT aims to examine agronomic, ecological, and socio-economic factors to identify and enhance methods for boosting local fruit and vegetable yields in Turkana County, Kenya. “By integrating local knowledge and experiences, the study endeavours to propose contextually appropriate strategies that promote resilience and sustainability in fruit and vegetable production. Ultimately, the findings of this research are expected to inform and guide future initiatives aimed at improving food security and livelihoods in Turkana County and similar dryland areas across East Africa.”, says Alex. An ATSAF scholarship not only gives you the chance of financial support but also opens doors to many opportunities for academic and personal growth.#ATSAF e.V. supports PhD and MSc scholars from German and international universities in CGIAR++ research projects and strengthens the links between universities and international, development-oriented #agricultural #research.

Here is some more detail: postponing the adoption of technology is costly. The technology of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has been technically available decades ago; however, it´s adoption has been limited due to political reasons resulting in lengthy regulatory process, which slows down the R&D transfer and affects agricultural productivity and food security. Our study projected the impact of R&D transfer speed up and relaxation of regulatory framework on agricultural productivity and food security towards 2050. It also allows to assess important geopolitical consequences of regulatory framework adjustment. Speeding up R&D transfer could bring over 200 billion US$ globally expressed as NPV of GDP benefits.

In the heart of Akkar Al-Atika, Lebanon, a farmer named Fayssal Al-Ek has embraced the power of nature-based solutions to revolutionize his agricultural practices. Supported by the Mara-Mediterra project, a European Union-funded initiative promoting sustainable agriculture in the Mediterranean region, Al-Ek has implemented hydroponics and aquaponics systems, leading to remarkable results.

I am pleased to share with everyone my first-ever peer-reviewed journal article, entitled "The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) as an International Agricultural Research Center (IARC): From the Cold War to One CGIAR." The article is published at the Philippine Journal of Public Policy: Interdisciplinary Development Perspectives. This article takes off from one of the chapters of my MA Thesis entitled "Food Security in the Midst of Climate Change: A Case Study of Cooperation Between the Philippines and the International Rice Research Institute."
