Enabling Environment to Scale AWD and Rice Straw Management: A 6-Step Approach

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
Alternate wetting and drying (AWD) and rice straw management are critical mitigation actions to transition to low emission food systems. This report investigates the enabling environment necessary to out scale AWD and low-emission rice straw management practices, employing a structured 6-step approach to scaling developed by the CGIAR Initiative on Low Emission Food Systems. Through source identification, analysis of government priorities, adoption potential evaluation, upgrading strategy development, business model design, and climate action measurement, stakeholders can foster the widespread adoption of sustainable and low-emission rice practices, thus contributing to mitigating climate change and enhancing agricultural sustainability.

Roof water harvesting for domestic water security: who gains and who loses?

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
Roof water harvesting is being widely promoted as a panacea for the growing drinking water crisis in India and many underdeveloped and developing countries. This article analyzes the scope, physical feasibility, and economic viability of roof water harvesting systems across classes and under different physical and socioeconomic situations. This article argues that roof water harvesting systems (RWHS) are not alternative to public systems in urban and rural areas of regions receiving low rainfall. Hydrological opportunities for RWHS are very poor in urban and rural areas. The systems offer very little scope in ensuring domestic water security for urban housing stocks of low- and middle-income groups. At the same time, they offer tremendous potential for independent bungalows having large roof area. However, their physical feasibility is very poor in urban areas. Their economic viability as a supplementary source of domestic water supply seems to be poor in urban areas, when compared to augmenting the supplies from the existing public systems. The incredibly low rates charged for domestic supplies by urban water utilities and government subsidies for RWHS would only lead to the urban elite increasing their access to water supplies, while the burden on water utilities would remain unchanged. This will lead to greater inequities in access to water supplies. At the same time, in rural areas with dispersed populations and hilly areas, RWHS may be economically viable as a supplementary source to already existing public water supply schemes. But as its impacts are not likely to be uniform across classes, government subsidies are not desirable. In hilly regions receiving high rainfalls, government investment for community water supply schemes could be replaced by heavy subsidies for installation of RWHS.

This new database of emissions in agricultural production provides data on emissions by type, commodity, source, and country. Wherever possible, this matrix was derived by reverse-engineering the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) emission data to ensure that the total matched the FAOSTAT. Where this was not possible, as in the case of emissions from pesticides, a similar Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Tier 1 methodology was used to generate comparable estimates. Emission sources are identified used eleven FAOSTAT-based categories plus emissions from agricultural pesticides. The first step was to define the activity levels associated with commodity outputs, such as the area used for rice cultivation. The second was to calculate the emission coefficients (EC) for CH4, CO2, and N2O by activity level using, wherever possible, the FAOSTAT database. Finally, emissions of N2O and CH4 were converted to CO2 equivalents using 310 and 21 for N2O and CH4 respectively.

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
Water allocation rules are put in place to ensure that various parties receive a portion of developed water supplies. Allocation of river water to cities, industries and agriculture has been a common practice but now there is an increasing recognition of the need to also allocate water for environmental purposes. Furthermore, it is now recognized that such environmental water demands need to be considered explicitly alongside those of other users early on, at the planning and design stages of water resource development projects. This paper describes a desktop hydrology-based environmental flow assessment method developed at the International Water Management Institute and it's applicability in river basin management. A case study from India is presented where the feasibility of a proposed water transfer scheme from the Godawari River at Polavaram to the Krishna river is analyzed. The characteristic feature of the study is the simulation of the impact of various feasible cropping patterns on water demands as well as the explicit inclusion, of environmental water requirements in the simulations. The WEAP (Water Evaluation and Planning) model was applied to simulate water supply versus demand under the current water use and under water use anticipated after the construction of the Polavaram reservoir and link canal. Results suggest that the proposed Polavaram reservoir and canal system will reduce the seasonal pressure on water for the command area of the project. However, this may result in increased water deficits from December to June in the Lower Godavari Delta, downstream of the Polavaram reservoir. The importance of explicit accounting for monthly variability in description of water supply and demands in the conditions of monsoon-driven climate of the region is advocated. Similarly, the need to ensure environmental flows should also be considered in the context of seasonal variability, as it is mostly in the dry months that water allocation problems become critical. Such detailed scenario analysis can help to create awareness of potential future problems, inform water management practices and suggest management alternatives.

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.description[].value
The spectacular contribution that science has made to agricultural production during the last century-and-a-half has tended to obscure our appreciation of the indigenous knowledge of farming communities. For instance, in the 1940s and 1950s many agricultural officers encouraged, and even forced, traditional farmers to abandon age-old practices such as inter-planting groundnuts with cassava, or beans with maize, in favour of growing one crop in a single field. After independence their successors, trained in the Western system, tended to follow their example. Now we find an interest in the International Agricultural Research Centres in 'crop geometry', which is simply mixed cropping. Such changes of attitude have come about largely as a result of increased interest in on-farm research. 



In the case of mixed cropp ing, scientists now accept that several different crops at various stages of growth and of varying canopy levels can enrich the soil with nitrogen and humus and protect it from erosion. They accept also that crop pests and pathogens can be less devastating in mixed cropping. 



Traditional farmers reveal their understanding of agricultural problems in many ways. For instance, they are aware of the inherent qualities of crops to resist pests. They have selected varieties of millet with long awns that birds find difficult to eat. In addition to such obvious physical deterrents they know of other characteristics which render crops less vulnerable to pest attack. 



Many traditional tillage practices, such as raised beds for sweet potato cultivation and conical soil mounds for yams, help to conserve soil and create and optimum crop environment, which explains why farmers expend so much energy on these practices. 



Research agronomists have long pursued the goal of maximum yield per unit area of land. This might not always be the priority of the small-scale producer. His, or her, principal aim is often to ensure survival and security in an unstable and fluctuating environment. 



Different priorities 



To this end farmers have developed several local varieties of staple crops. Where food is in short supply a rapidly maturing crop, tolerant of short-term water stress, is as important as a heavy yield. In the African Sahel, 'souna' millet is such a variety, producing food for human consumption in 70-90 days. 'Souna' cultivation is coupled with that of 'sanyo', a heavier-yielding variety but with a maturity period of 120 or even 150 days; it is less drought tolerant than 'Souna' and so it is not planted until the rainy season is well set. In addition to improving the stability of the food supply, these two varieties help spread the labour demand at all cultural stages and at harvest. 



In some favourable sites in dry areas a type of 'falling flood' agriculture is practiced with varieties that germinate, grow and ripen on residual soil moisture even after the rains have ceased. 



Sustaining a living from livestock 



Traditional livestock husbandry practices also reflect the extent of indigenous knowledge. For instance, farmers understanding of the mineral needs of their livestock is as much responsible for migration as the need for feed and water in some pastoral areas. Camels are taken for hundreds of kilometres for a 'salt cure' in Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad and Sudan They are taken to an area where the soil is a kind of natural mineral block, to water the' is high in dissolved salts, or to pasture with a mineral content that differs from regularly grazed areas. 



Even problems associated with in-breeding and uncontrolled mating are understood by traditional livestock owners. Traditional practices developed to mitigate these effect. do not increase the need for labour, which would be required if the sexes had to be separated, and do not trespass on religious beliefs about castration. In East Africa, for example the Masai attach an apron to ram. and bucks, while in Muslim North Africa in the Sahel and in the Middle East a cord known as a 'kunan' in Arabic, is attached to the scrotum and the sheath of the penis to prevent successful mating. 



Traditional and modern knowledge needed 



Local knowledge about the chemical properties of plants is put to use in traditional pharmacopoeia all over the world. Man, species of plants have long been used i, human and animal medicine, or to protect stored crops from insects and fungi. These products, and their industrially of synthesized equivalents, continue to serve our needs. 



The research community is belated!, recognizing that traditional knowledge and practices have much to contribute. Farming and livestock systems research, in which farmers and pastoralists partner scientists in research and development, have creates an awareness of the benefits of consultation. Iowa State University in the United States has even established a Center for Indigenous Knowledge for Agriculture and Rural Development (CIKARD). The Center which was established in 1987, seeks to promote the study of indigenous knowledge and welcomes cooperation.

This brief describes the most recent activities of UBINIG (Policy Research for Development Alternative) to support the the Nayakrishi Seed Network (NSN) of the Nayakrishi Andolon or New Agricultural Movement of Bangladesh, now active in three major agro-ecological zones of the country and bringing together 300,000 farmers. The NSN is made up of regional Community Seed Wealth Centers and Seed Huts at the village level. Seed Huts typically conserve multiple varieties of all important traditional crops including cereals, pulses, vegetables and spices. Women seed custodians play key roles in the NSN. Community Seed Wealth Centers provide back-up to Seed Huts, carry out strategic research and organize capacity building.

Unlocking agricultural trade potential in the BIMSTEC region: Policy challenges and implications

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
The Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) is a regional organization that comprises seven nations, five of which are from South Asia (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka) and two from Southeast Asia (Myanmar and Thailand). BIMSTEC aims to increase trade including agri-food products to much higher levels than its historical low values lying much below potential. In 2020, intra-BIMSTEC trade accounted for a mere 6.15% of the total trade among its member countries. In contrast, intra-ASEAN trade made up around 23% of the total trade within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). These figures highlight the significant room for growth in intra-regional trade among BIMSTEC member countries. Importantly the low share of intra BIMSTEC trade is not due to greater integration with supra-BIMSTEC partners. This policy note seeks to spell out some of the key agricultural trade policy-related challenges in the BIMSTEC region and their implications for economic integration in the area.

A simple and efficient method for extracting S. Rolfsii DNA for PCR based diversity studies

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
Present methods of extracting DNA from Sclerotium rolfsii use a lot of hazardous organic chemicals to extract high quality DNA. Extraction of the DNA is further complicated by exopolysaccharides that bind to the DNA making it mucilaginous. 
We developed a simple and efficient protocol for extracting DNA high quality from S. rolfsii. Our method uses a DNA extraction buffer that contains sodium dodecyl sulphate and proteinase K to inactivate proteins and high salt concentration to precipitate the exopolysaccharides. It uses neither phenol, chloroform nor isoamyl 
alcohol during the DNA extraction process. It also does not require freeze drying of the mycelia and grinding in liquid nitrogen. 
Using our method, a sufficient amount of pure (mean A260: A280=1.91 ± 0.001) DNA (mean = 
55.57 ± 0.002 ng/µl) was obtained from 100 mg of mycelia. The DNA was amenable to PCR amplification using inter-simple sequence repeat primers and primers targeting the internal transcribed spacer region of S. rolfsii. 
Our method will be very useful in laboratories that don’t have access to liquid nitrogen and freeze-drying facilities and will be a catalyst for PCR-based phylogenetic studies of this important pathogen of common bean.

Credible quantitative and qualitative information on existing capacities in agricultural higher education agencies in Africa are crucial for strategic planning, policy formulation, setting priorities and benchmarks, measuring progress toward benchmarks, and identifying capacity gaps. Decisionmakers require a solid understanding of existing staffing and student capacities in the higher education sector, as well as in the wider agricultural innovation systems in Africa south of the Sahara. Access to such information supports effective policymaking to address capacity issues in higher education, agricultural research, extension, and other areas. Such information remains extremely limited, however. To fill this need, the International Food Policy Research Institute’s Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI/IFPRI) and the Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM) initiated a partnership to pilot the collection of this type of data for RUFORUM’s member universities. This factsheet presents the available data results for Africa University, Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
