Empower the soil data community with best practice tools and lessons learned for a sustainable SIS! The SIS Framework, developed by CABI and ISRIC, provides a step-by-step guide for designing soil information systems. It integrates financial, institutional, and technological considerations across four practical phases: initiation, planning and design, implementation, and operationalization.
A comprehensive suite of tools to guide initiatives and organizations in implementing FAIR principles across data-rich agricultural development investments! The FAIR Process Framework is a structured approach designed to enhance the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability (FAIR) of agricultural data. It provides practical steps, guidelines, and tools to help national programs, funders, and project implementers maximize the value of data across agricultural development initiatives. By integrating FAIR principles, stakeholders can improve data sharing, reduce duplication, enhance decision-making, and ensure long-term impact. The framework is flexible, allowing its adoption at any stage of a project or program. Additionally, expert support from CABI helps facilitate training and implementation, ensuring effective data governance for sustainable agricultural development.
Rice-Fish System Boosts Profits, Enhances Lowland Land Use for Food Security and Prosperity The rice-fish farming system emerged as a solution to address various agricultural challenges. It was developed to counter widespread food and nutrition insecurity, the vulnerability of smallholder rice farmers to market shocks due to a lack of diversification, and environmental pollution resulting from excessive agrochemical use. This innovative approach not only enhances food and nutrition security but also boosts smallholder farmers' income through the combined sale of rice and fish. Additionally, the system promotes environmental safety by eliminating the need for agrochemicals, contributing to sustainable and resilient agricultural practices.
Empowering Beans, Sustaining Growth! The technology is a low-cost and sustainable solution for staking climbing beans, offering lower-cost, environmentally friendly alternatives, reducing the required number of stakes and addressing yield limitations associated with traditional staking methods.
Secure Shelters, Thriving Flocks Small Ruminant Containment in Protective Sheds is a technology developed to address the challenges faced by small-scale livestock farmers. It offers a cost-effective solution for protecting goats and sheep from predators, inclement weather, and the spread of diseases to humans. By providing simple shelter options using locally available materials, this technology significantly improves the well-being and productivity of these small ruminants while remaining affordable for resource-constrained farmers.
Safeguarding Chickens and reducing Costs The "Low-Cost Cage and Free-Range Containment" is a special way to keep chickens safe and healthy while also saving money. It's like a movable house for chickens. During the day, the chickens get to run around outside and eat natural food like insects and plants. This makes them strong and healthy. This special chicken house is not expensive to build and is easy to move around. It's perfect for small farmers who can't afford big, fancy chicken houses. It also helps make sure the chickens are happy and well taken care of.
Revolutionize your fish farming with IPRS for maximum yields and sustainability. The In-Pond Raceway System (IPRS) is a pivotal advancement in aquaculture technology, revolutionizing fish farming practices. By ensuring continuous water flow and efficient waste management, IPRS allows for significantly higher fish stocking densities. This translates to a substantial boost in fish production compared to traditional methods. The technology's emphasis on water quality optimization, aeration, and waste removal addresses critical factors for fish growth. Its benefits extend beyond productivity, encompassing cost-effectiveness, improved feed conversion, and environmental sustainability. IPRS represents a crucial innovation in meeting the growing demand for sustainable fish farming practices, making it a cornerstone in modern aquaculture.
