SUMMARY:Webinar - Indicators to measure circularity: developments & considerations
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE! The Circular Food Systems Network is organising a webinar this coming September on indications for circular food systems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn September 15th\, we would like to discuss with you the questions: can we measure circularity? How would we do that? And what are the limitations of using indicators? Indicators are a way to measure circularity of a food system\, but are there alternatives? How important is it to measure circularity? How important is it to make circularity measurable – is that necessary or does that defeat the purpose of circularity in food systems?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nLAUNCH WHITE PAPER ‘CIRCULAR FOOD SYSTEMS AROUND THE WORLD’ \n\n\n\nOn this date the whitepaper ‘Circular Food Systems around the world’ will be launched. This whitepaper is a product of our CFS network. Members of the network shared short communications on what circular food systems mean in different parts of the world. This white paper will present the opportunities and the next steps to advance CFS. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSNEAKPEAK OF THE PROGRAM\n\n\n\nThroughout 2023\, three projects funded by the CFS Network\, focus on the development of indicators for circularity. During the webinar\, the project leaders will present the scope of the projects\, first insights\, challenges\, and preliminary results.

SUMMARY:UNGA78: Climate-smart approaches to enhance ruminant/livestock production efficiency and food production systems
DESCRIPTION:This virtual session is part of the Science Summit at UNGA78. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClimate-smart Approaches to enhance Ruminant/Livestock production efficiency and Food production systems \n\n\n\nThe state of Africa’s livestock agriculture and its vulnerability to climate risk is an ongoing matter of importance\, not only for the continent but also for the global world. Climate change is a reality that will result in higher temperatures and more extreme events such as droughts\, floods\, higher temperatures and more heat waves\, which will affect the wellbeing and stability on the continent and the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals. In the case of livestock in tropical and sub-tropical African countries this will result in (1) a decrease in production (meat and milk)\, (2) lower fertility (in both males and females) that will affect reproduction\, (2) more diseases\, especially the host transmittable diseases and (4) lower quality of the grazing. In these African countries\, climate change represents a feedback-loop in which livestock production both contributes to climate change and suffers from the consequences. That is why adaptation\, resilience and mitigation strategies are critical for sustainability.  This is in contrast to developed countries in temperate regions where the focus is mainly on mitigation. \n\n\n\nThis session will highlight some of the climate-smart approaches\, food production systems and climate responses that are essential in terms of required actions/interventions from the United Nations and at a global level to prioritize agricultural research and involvement of farmers in terms of agenda setting and related investments. \n\n\n\nThe speakers will highlight the need for evidence-based decisions around complex issues related to climate change\, with relevant indicators. Therefore\, science becomes a fundamental part to enhance resilience of people\, production and food systems. This makes relationships between scientists\, collaborating regions\, farmers and farmer’s organizations important. \n\n\n\nProgramme (2h30min) \n\n\n\n\nOpening remarks (5 min): Dr Andrew Magadlela (Group Executive: Animal Sciences\, ARC); \n\n\n\nWelcome and Introduction (10 min): Prof Azwihangwisi Maiwashe (General Manager: ARC-Animal Production); \n\n\n\nPresentation (20 min): Dr. Ackim Mwape (New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre);  Overview of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases and partnerships in Africa.\n\n\n\nPresentation (20 min): Dr Claudia Arndt (ILRI\, Kenya);  Current State of Research on Livestock GHG Emissions and Mitigation in Sub-Saharan Africa.\n\n\n\nPresentation (20 min): Prof Machiel Scholtz: (ARC-Animal Production\, South Africa);  Climate-smart research: Current and planned projects\, challenges and opportunities for southern-Africa.\n\n\n\nPresentation (15 min): Dr Sithembile Ndemi Mwamakamba (FANRPAN); Analysis of policy for climate change mitigation and adaptation.\n\n\n\nPresentation (15 min): Ms Minky Groenewald (Eswatini); An overview of NDCs (Nationally Determined Contributions) in southern African and the role of farmers organizations.\n\n\n\nPanel discussion (20 min)\n\n\n\nClosure (10 min): Prof M Makgahlela (Research Team Manager: Animal Breeding and Genetics\, ARC-Animal Production)

SUMMARY:Webinar: Is there a limit to Soil Organic Carbon sequestration?
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is being organised by the Scientific and Technical Committee of “4per1000“ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe International 4per1000 initiative presents Soil Carbon Science Webinar Series. \n\n\n\nJoin us for an insightful webinar on the role of soil organic carbon (SOC) in maintaining soil functions and mitigating climate change. SOC plays a vital role in crop production\, nutrient and water cycling\, carbon storage\, and habitat for soil biodiversity. Recent developments have defined SOC into two operational fractions: particulate organic carbon (POC) and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC). The formation of long-lived MAOC is crucial for climate change mitigation. While the assumption is that soils have limited ability to accumulate MAOC\, a recent study challenges this notion\, prompting further mechanistic investigations. We are delighted to have two esteemed experts in the field\, Dr. Christopher Poeplau from the Thünen Institute of Climate-Smart Agriculture and Prof. M. Francesca Cotrufo from Colorado State University\, who will delve into this topic during the webinar. \n\n\n\nJoin us to gain valuable insights and discuss the formation of MAOC\, its implications for soil carbon management\, and the potential impact on climate change mitigation strategies. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with leading researchers in the field. \n\n\n\nMore information HERE.

SUMMARY:FAO Webinar: Organic Matter Management Webinar Series - Session 3
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is being organised by the FAO Technical Network on Sustainable Crop Production and Agroecology. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganic Matter Management Webinar Series: Options to contribute to sustainable production systems and the SDGs \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe consensus on the urgent need for a global transition to agrifood systems that ensure food and nutrition security for all\, while reversing environmental degradation and adapting to climate change was ratified at the UN food systems summit in 2021. It was also recognized that tackling such transitions requires a long-term perspective and holistic approaches\, such as agroecology\, which is increasingly acknowledged for its potential to meet the SDGs. \n\n\n\nThe webinar will focus on complementary perspectives of organic matter management as a key driver to redesign of agrifood systems to achieve sustainable agriculture and the SDGs. It will illustrate the spectrum of options for organic matter management and discuss their potential to optimize food production\, reduce pollution and sanitation challenges\, contribute to healthier livelihoods\, mitigate and adapt to climate change\, while protecting and restoring the environment. The webinar will feature a moderated panel discussion with expert speakers bringing in a range of perspectives on organic matter management\, including research\, advisory services\, and policy. \n\n\n\nInterpretation to French and Spanish will be provided. \n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\nTimeItem and presenter14:30-14:35Opening remarks by Chikelu Mba\, Deputy Director\, Plant Production and Protection Division\, NSP\, FAO14:35-14:50Keynote presentation: “Organic matter management of soil in a circular economy” Johannes Lehmann\, Professor\, Cornell University\, United States of America14:50-15:55Panel discussion\, including questions from the audience:– Pauline Chivenge\, Senior Scientist\, International Rice Research Institute (IRRI)\, Tanzania. – Carlos Eduardo Cerri\, Professor\, University of Sao Paulo\, Brazil. – Kate Scow\, Professor\, University of California – Davis\, United States of America. – Keith Paustian\, Professor\, Colorado State University\, United States of America.– Martial Bernoux\, Senior Natural Resources Officer\, Office of Climate Change\, Biodiversity and Environment\, OCB\, FAO15:55-16:00Closing remarks by Vincent Martin\, Director\, Office on Innovation\, FAOThe webinar will be moderated by Edmundo Barrios\, Agricultural Officer\, NSP\, FAO

SUMMARY:Webinar: Regional support to national livestock GHG inventories in Southern Africa
DESCRIPTION:Regional support to national livestock Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventories in Southern Africa: key lessons from the regional inventory compilation approach \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFANRPAN\, the University of Pretoria\, the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre\, and the Africa LEDS Partnership invite you to a special webinar dedicated to sharing lessons and experiences from their Regional Tier 2 Inventory Compilations from Botswana\, Eswatini\, Lesotho\, and Mozambique. \n\n\n\nThe Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries recognize the need for adaptation to climate change and mitigation through the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions\, especially from cattle that are responsible for most of the greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector. To better identify policies and measures that align with national adaptation and mitigation efforts\, there is a need for more advanced methods of compiling GHG inventories that are aligned to livestock development objectives and tracking progress towards Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) emission reduction targets. This means progressing from the current Tier 1 methods used by most countries in compiling their inventories to Tier 2 methods.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Putting smallholder farmers at the center of sustainable food systems
DESCRIPTION:Information shared on behalf of GRA Partner\, Environmental Defense Fund: \n\n\n\nSmallholder farmers represent 80% of farmers in North Africa. They have a fundamental role in delivering sustainable food systems\, but as underscored by the Food and Agriculture Organization\, many experience poverty\, food insecurity\, and limited access to markets and services. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar hosted by Danone Ecosystem\, we will provide you with concrete examples of North African projects\, including H’lib Bladi in Morocco\, Alban Baladna in Egypt\, and H’lib Dzair in Algeria. These projects from Danone Ecosystem have helped over 11\,500 smallholders increase their revenue while also improving their environmental sustainability. Danone Ecosystem was created with the ambition to build a more inclusive economy\, from the ground up by catalyzing and developing projects that advance the public interest in ecosystems where Danone operates.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Policies in pursuit of a low emission agri-food sector
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the OECD COP27 Virtual Pavilion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe agriculture and food sector (agri-food sector) is vulnerable to climate change and at the same time also a significant sources of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Reducing GHG emissions from the agri-food sector will be important in moving towards net-zero targets. There are various opportunities for the agri-food sector to reduce GHG emissions\, yet the sector faces many complex challenges and lags behind others on climate change commitments and actions.  \n\n\n\nThis event will explore the state of policies already in place in the agri-food sector and look at the policy challenges specific to addressing climate action across food systems. The event will also explore potential policy solutions\, such as emission taxes\, as well as other supply and demand-side measures\, that could help to strike a balance between GHG abatement and broader societal objectives.
