    Abstract: With adverse impacts of climate change growing in number and intensity, there is an urgent need to reduce emissions from food systems to net zero. This can only be achieved if rural areas in low- and middle-income countries gain access to clean energy. A review of the research and capacity building contributions of the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE) over the last 10 years suggests important contributions in the areas of energy policy and energy investment planning, cost and feasibility frameworks, and business models for clean energy technology uptake. WLE has also conducted successful pilot projects on solar irrigation to provide an evidence base for scaling up innovative energy initiatives. Finally, the program also considered non-agricultural uses of energy where relevant to food systems, and implemented capacity building activities. Going forward, CGIAR has a key role to play in providing information, supporting access and piloting innovative, scalable clean energy interventions to support the achievement of multiple impacts for the poorest and most food-insecure women and men farmers and entrepreneurs.

    Abstract: The motivation for focusing on economic sanctions is the mixed evidence of their effectiveness. We assess the role of sanctions on Russian international trade flow after 2014. The main expectation was that the Russian economy would take a hit since it had lost its importers. We use a differences-in-differences model of trade flows data for imported and exported agricultural products from 2010 to 2020 in Russia. We assess the economic impact of the Russian food embargo on agricultural commodities, questioning whether it has achieved its objective and resulted in a window of opportunity for entrepreneurs as well as investors to take advantage of. We estimate the impact of sanctions by Russia imposed on European and American food exports that resulted in the food independence of Russia and facilitated the development of local businesses in the agriculture sector of Russia.

    Abstract: We investigated public preferences regarding labelling and sale of genetically modified (GM) products in Poland. A Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) was used to investigate public preferences and Willingness To Pay (WTP) for new policies changing the current regulations with respect four types of products: food, processed food, commercial products, and pharmaceuticals. In addition to reporting the general results, we analyze the social and behavioral drivers of consumers’ preferences and WTP. The study examines relationship of self-assessed and objective knowledge, perceptions of risks and benefits, and attitudes associated with GMO to consumers’ preferences.

    Abstract: On November 2021, the European Parliament ratified the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform that will be applied from 2023. Among other issues, the (re)structuring of the sector will be promoted throughout a strengthening of the position of producer organizations in the value chain. If met, the objectives of the CAP will imply a change in the production model simultaneously requiring a sustainable environment while increasing efficiency for the farms and their associated companies to remain profitable. In Spain, in 2019 the adoption of new technologies for the digitization of this productive sector was already presented as part of the solution targeting the structural problems of Spanish agri-food companies: lack of competitiveness and innovation, lack of automation, as well as to alleviate regional disparities. Since then, the situation has been aggravated by the low rate of investment (both public and private) dedicated to research and development, as well as the scarcity and inadequacy of technological capabilities, especially by agri-food SMEs. At the same time, within this lackluster scenario, some of the technologies key to the Spanish agri-food sector, such as those related with blockchain and used for food control and traceability have experienced a significant progress. In fact, the usage of blockchain within the supply chain management is almost doubling year-on-year. Within this context, this paper investigates which is the level of development of blockchain technology in the agri-food sector in Spain and how it is supported from public policies using a methodology that blends interviews with key representatives of the value chain with an examination of available, mostly grey, literature. From the analysis, the paper concludes that blockchain deployment has entered a stage of early maturity in supply chain tracking. However, its adoption in traceability in this same value chain displays considerable challenges with a relatively high number of pilot and test projects being deployed in the last years, but still lacking a sound analysis of the results achieved. Among the challenges, the paper highlights the appropriateness of data registered in blockchain and the selection and set up of scalable -mostly de facto- standards. Automation of data capture and combination of blockchain with other technologies such as RFID and AI also required further developments. From the public perspective, beyond economic incentives, the reusage and integration of the same data used in blockchain into the European public registries for agri-food control could be a significant contribution to set up scalable "de facto" standards and, from here, contribute to the adoption of this technology.

    Abstract: The increasing use of life cycle analysis (LCA) methods in order to estimate environmental and social impacts of food products enhances a better understanding of how agricultural production systems contribute to their territories' environmental and social quality in a positive or negative way. However, the contribution of agriculture to landscape quality and living environment within these territories is never included although some agricultural practices, such as urban pastures, may generate significant landscape amenities that may be valued by locals. From a series of surveys within the Nantes Métropole territory and relying on the study-case of the Vache nantaise, we provide a set of indicators to measure the living environment dimension into future impact analysis. We show how the development of a local urban meat branch involving pastures may contribute to the living environment through inhabitants' experience, branch sustainability and territorial sustainability.
    Abstract: L'usage croissant des méthodes d'analyse de cycle de vie (ACV) pour évaluer les impacts environnementaux et sociaux des produits alimentaires permet de mieux comprendre dans quelle mesure les systèmes de production agricole contribuent, positivement ou négativement, à la qualité environnementale et sociale des territoires dans lesquels ils s'inscrivent. Cependant, la contribution des activités agricoles au cadre de vie et à la qualité paysagère des territoires est peu considérée alors même que certaines pratiques, telles que l'éco-pâturage, génèrent des aménités paysagères valorisées par les acteurs du territoire. Sur la base d'enquêtes auprès d'acteurs du territoire de Nantes Métropole et en nous appuyant sur le cas d'étude de la Vache nantaise, nous proposons un tableau de bord mesurant la dimension liée au cadre de vie pour de futures analyses d'impact. Nous montrons comment le développement d'une micro-filière viande en milieu urbain peut contribuer, à travers ses pratiques d'éco-pâturage, au cadre de vie local en agissant sur l'expérience des habitants, la durabilité de la filière et la durabilité du territoire lui-même.

    Abstract: Aside from improving women's and youth's livelihoods and options, digitalization can contribute to the development of an inclusive future for smallholder farmers around the globe. Through the use of this technology, the agri-food sector and rural areas can be galvanized to become more productive and sustainable. In the course of research, rural development has been conceptualized in a variety of ways by researchers, ranging from a set of goals and programs to a well-integrated strategy, approach, or even an ideology in some cases. As far as the scope and content of the relevant literature are concerned, there is a lack of clarity. In addition, there are no clearly defined analytical boundaries within the literature. Several occasions have been called to the attention of the authors that this may be considered both as a strength and a weakness at the same time. One of the cornerstones of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is the development of digitally skilled rural communities because it allows for the diversification of incomes, and it allows for the creation of new employment opportunities and business opportunities for future generations, both on and off the farm, as well as allowing for the development of these skills. Due to the increasing demand for safe and nutritious food, digital technologies are particularly well suited to help the world's agrifood systems meet this growing demand, while also contributing to high-quality productivity growth and economic inclusion of marginalized groups in the economy, as well as better managing natural resources.

    Abstract: Water scarcity and pollution are major threats for human development in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and Lebanon is no exception. Wastewater treatment and reuse in agriculture can contribute to addressing the increasing water crisis in the MENA region. However, what is the actual potential of water reuse as a solution for agriculture in Lebanon? This report addresses this question and provides the most comprehensive assessment of water reuse potential up to now. Using geographic information system (GIS) modelling and the best and most recent data available in the country, the report develops a detailed technical assessment of the quantities of treated water available for safe reuse in irrigation, and identifies the wastewater treatment plants that have the highest potential for that purpose. The report also examines the governance barriers that need to be overcome for the water reuse potential to materialize in practice. These barriers include structural shortcomings in the wastewater sector combined with challenges of governance and the lack of a regulatory framework for reuse management. Once the current economic, financial and political crisis in Lebanon eases, addressing these barriers will be key to achieving more and safer water reuse in the country.

    Abstract: We examine the impact of multinationals oil companies’ (MOCs) corporate social responsibility (CSR) on enhancing land rights for rural women. A total of 1,200 women were sampled across the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Results from the use of a combined propensity score matching and logit model show that MOCs’ CSR using global memorandum of understanding (GMoU) model recorded significant success in various policy mechanisms to improve gender equality in land access. The linkages include joint-titling modalities, land leasing, land use certificate issuances, community and territorial land delimitation interventions for both agricultural production and security in Nigeria’s oil host communities.

    Abstract: Energy generated from land-based wind power is expected to play a crucial role in the decarbonisation of the economy. With the looming biodiversity and nature crises, spatial allocation of wind power cannot, however, any longer be considered solely a trade-off against local disamenity costs. Emphasis should also be put on wider environmental impacts, especially if these challenge the sustainability of the whole renewable energy transition. We suggest a modelling system for spatial allocation of wind power plants (WPPs) by combining an energy system model with a comprehensive GIS analysis of WPP sites and surrounding viewscapes. The modelling approach integrates monetary cost estimates of local disamenity and loss of carbon sequestration, and impacts on wilderness and biodiversity implemented as sustainability constraints on the model. Simulating scenarios for the Norwegian energy system towards 2050, we find that the southern part of Norway is the most favourable region for wind power siting when only the energy system surplus is considered. However, when gradually adding local disamenity costs (and to a lesser extent carbon costs) and the sustainability constraints, the more beneficial siting in the northern part of Norway become. We find that the sustainability constraints have the largest impact on the spatial distribution of WPPs, but the monetised costs of satisfying them are shown to be modest. Overall, results show that there is a trade-off between local disamenities and loss of biodiversity and wilderness. Siting wind power plants outside the visual proximity of households yield negative consequences for biodiversity and wilderness.

    Abstract: This paper examines the extent to which gains-from-trade predictions from commonly-used trade theories are consistent with observed household consumption decisions. Our approach is based on inference from household-level estimation of food Engel curves in the US and in a few other countries. For a given price index as the deflator of income, deviations from food Engel curves indicate how biased that price index is relative to the true household price index. We construct open-economy price indices based on trade theory and data, evaluate their biases according to our approach, and compare them with the bias of official CPI statistics. We find that theory-consistent open-economy price indices that account for industry-level heterogeneity and input-output linkages tend to eliminate a large fraction of the bias of CPI.

    Abstract: This research was conducted at the office of Lala Village of Namlea District. The village government's role in community development in the Village Lala Namlea District of Buru district is significant to support the conditions of this Village because most of the people in this Village have subsistence corn farmers to empower corn plants. The aims of this research were to determine and analyze the extent of countryside government and factors that encourage and inhibit the role of countryside government in supporting the income of corn farmers at Lala village, Namlea sub-district of Buru districts. The results showed that the village government, Lala plays a vital role in determining the appropriate steps to increase the incomes of farmers' corn or empower the people in the Village of the District La la Namlea.

    Abstract: According to many recently published reports and indisputably evidence, environmental pollution and climate change are becoming increasingly serious. Regrettably, this is because humans underestimate the value of nature, and particularly violate the asymmetry principle of nature and humans. To be specific, humans are creating an eco-deficit culture with one’s environmental footprints/impacts far surpass nature’s resilience capacity. In short, in this short note, I just initially introduce and advocate two new concepts/metrics: environmental social efficiency and ecosurplus index. We can use them for measuring the degree of realization of humans’ thoughts for environmental goals, evaluating the ecosurplus culture-based society, and building ecosurplus culture/high value culture for sustainable development in a long run. This is a further step to realize humans’ ambitious objectives for tackling environmental pollution and climate change. And more importantly, we will continue to develop these concepts/metrics till they are complete in years to come.

    Abstract: Measuring the impact of integrated systems research has been a challenge to CGIAR since it expanded into natural resource management research in the early 1990s. Despite repeated efforts, it has yet to be adequately addressed. Meanwhile, the demand for evidence of impact on development outcomes has only increased, as have calls for greater methodological rigor. At the same time, there is greater recognition of the complex, systemic nature of many problems facing society today and the need for new approaches to designing, implementing and evaluating research. In an attempt to provide pragmatic guidance to One CGIAR and others on how to address these issues in the design of research for development programs that involve integrated systems research (ISR), CGIAR held a virtual workshop on Measuring the Impact of Integrated Systems Research on September 27–30, 2021. Participants took stock of recent experiences and reviewed existing and new tools and approaches with the potential to overcome conceptual, empirical and institutional challenges that obstruct ISR. In terms of methods for assessing the impact of ISR, the workshop highlighted recent advances in the use of geospatial data and called for more significant investment in both the quantity and quality of qualitative methods. Integrating monitoring, evaluation, learning and impact assessment (MELIA) into the research programs will require greater capacity on the part of managers, researchers and MELIA specialists to use theory of change effectively and efficiently for multiple purposes. It is also becoming increasingly clear that some of the challenges in conducting ISR in CGIAR are not technical but have to do with structures, processes and internal tensions within CGIAR itself about the kind of outcomes it seeks and the way it organizes and implements research. While calling for research that contributes to sustainability and systems transformation, CGIAR has in different ways failed to adequately support, and to learn from, the kinds of integrated systems approaches that will likely underpin success. Workshop participants proposed tackling this head-on through changing CGIAR systems, processes and incentive structures, and engaging directly with funders on how impact is understood and measured.

    Abstract: There is an increasing expectation on the private sector to address biodiversity impacts and contribute towards global conservation goals. Appropriate evidence use can help businesses avoid biodiversity losses and realise gains, reduce resources wasted on ineffective or suboptimal action, whilst minimising biodiversity-related risks and securing opportunities from engaging with biodiversity. We review the status of evidence-based action in the private sector, where previous studies have identified concerning trends, and explore the barriers that may currently be hindering evidence use. To learn from this, and improve evidence use, we propose a set of principles for evidence-based biodiversity impact mitigation. We outline tools and resources that can help businesses move towards evidence-based practice and achieve each of these principles. Meeting these principles would improve the biodiversity outcomes from business’ biodiversity related actions. However, for business action to contribute more fully to global conservation goals, broader political and socio-economic issues also need addressing.

    Abstract: The purpose of the study is to determine how water point level estimates for rural basic water service coverage from the Water Point Data Exchange (WPdx) compare to the household level estimates from the Joint Monitoring Programme of WHO/UNICEF (JMP) in multiple geographies. The study describes how these different estimates are produced and proposes the comparison of JMP basic minus services on premises to WPdx basic access. WPdx basic access estimates the population with 1km of an improved water point. Comparing between metrics and triangulating different measured results can be useful to validate conclusions and inform decision making. This study finds a relatively strong correlation and linear trend between these two estimates in four countries that suggests that using household surveys and water point inventories together can be useful to decision makers who may only have one or the other data sources or may want to validate the conclusions from one against another. The WPdx basic estimates allow a more granular geographical level of access estimates that can be useful to districts and enable national vulnerability assessments. This could strengthen the type of analysis provided in JMP inequality charts showing the differences between country regions. At the same time, further research is needed to validate these trends at these lower geographical levels. Rural water leaders, including national and local governments, development partners, service providers and civil society should continue to advocate for the publication of water point data and the validation of access estimates on the basis of publicly available information. This plays an important role in improving the quality of both public and private data sets and analyses used by researchers and decision makers.
