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.
Biochar, a powerfully circular way to fight climate change Energy access is a complex issue for the African continent, where 70% of the population in sub-Saharan Africa depends on biomass for energy. This means most people burn firewood, charcoal, agricultural residues, and animal dung for cooking and other daily activities. While bioenergy is renewable, its overuse can cause deforestation and soil erosion. The lack of a secure and sustainable energy supply is connected to Africa’s food security and climate change challenges. Biochar is being promoted as a solution that can address all three challenges by enhancing soil fertility and sequestering carbon.
