Book An Overview and Analysis of Integral Tools to Monitor People  Planet and Profit Sustainability Dimensions of Dairy Development in East Africa

Download or read book An Overview and Analysis of Integral Tools to Monitor People Planet and Profit Sustainability Dimensions of Dairy Development in East Africa written by Asaah Ndambi and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dairy plays a key role in agricultural sector development in East Africa. To keep this growth continual, the Netherlands Food Partnership (NFP) dairy action agenda together with the Netherlands East Africa Dairy Partnership (NEADAP) initiative have requested for a tool that enables stakeholders to assess and monitor the sustainability of dairy initiatives in East Africa. Sustainability helps producers not only to grow their businesses but also to ensure that resources are preserved for use by future generations. Dairy development should not only emphasize on increasing the production, but should also consider different aspects of sustainability including people, profit and planet. Dairy development needs to contribute to affordable safe and nutritious diets, employment and livelihoods and in sustaining the agroecological base. Sustainable dairy development pathways should address these people-profit-planet objectives simultaneously and their holistic assessment should support practitioners and policy makers reflect on the multiple trade-offs that occur based on the choices being made. There is need for a tool that could support informed discussions on present status, intervention options and the win-wins and trade-offs of these interventions, and also giving recommendations on how best to balance/address trade-offs in dairy farms. It is also important for the tool to consider future climate change impact on well-being, meanwhile public debates on ‘the circular economy’, ‘planet boundaries’ and ‘dietary shift’ in the global North have raised the focus on environmental and health impact of dairy. Meanwhile more consideration is required for resilience, which is becoming more important in the sustainability debate, though not yet covered in some available tools. A growing number of sustainability assessment tools have been developed to support farmers and policy makers in developing sustainable agriculture. Each tool has strengths and weaknesses and therefore selection of suitable tools for the East African context needs to be carefully done. This study assessed 42 sustainability assessment tools that have been developed and used in different countries to monitor people, planet and profit dimensions of dairy farming. Based on the list of eight criteria developed, four tools were identified with a good potential for use in the assessment of sustainability of dairy farming systems in East Africa. These tools include RISE, IDEA, SAFA and PG. These were further evaluated on a more stringent triple P criteria focusing on data requirements, simplicity and user friendliness, reliability of results, and effectiveness. Based on this evaluation, it was concluded that the RISE and SAFA could be the most appropriate existing tools for assessing sustainability of dairy farming in East Africa. However, for generating more robust outputs for the East African context, the selected tool would need to be adjusted by removing less relevant and adding new sub-criteria to the list of criteria, and by modification of questions to make them easier understandable, among others.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greenhouse gas emissions by the livestock sector could be cut by as much as 30 percent through the wider use of existing best practices and technologies. FAO conducted a detailed analysis of GHG emissions at multiple stages of various livestock supply chains, including the production and transport of animal feed, on-farm energy use, emissions from animal digestion and manure decay, as well as the post-slaughter transport, refrigeration and packaging of animal products. This report represents the most comprehensive estimate made to-date of livestocks contribution to global warming as well as the sectors potential to help tackle the problem. This publication is aimed at professionals in food and agriculture as well as policy makers.

Book Agricultural Value Chains in India

Download or read book Agricultural Value Chains in India written by Ashok Gulati and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides a clear holistic conceptual framework of CISS-F (competitiveness, inclusiveness, sustainability, scalability and access to finance) to analyse the efficiency of value chains of high value agricultural commodities in India. It is based on the understanding that agriculture is an integrated system that connects farming with logistics, processing and marketing. Farmer’s welfare being central to any agricultural policy makes it very pertinent to study how a value chain works and can be strengthened further to realize this policy goal. This book adds value to the existing research by studying the value chains end-to-end across a wide spectrum of agricultural commodities with the holistic lens of CISS-F. It is not enough that a value chain is competitive but not inclusive or it is competitive and inclusive but not sustainable. The issue of scalability is very critical to achieve macro gains in terms of greater farmer outreach and sectoral growth. The research undertaken here brings out some very useful insights for policymaking in terms of what needs to be done better to steer the agricultural value chains towards being more competitive, inclusive, sustainable and scalable. The value chain specific research findings help draw very nuanced policy recommendations as well as present a big picture of the future direction of policy making in agriculture.
