Agricultural extension work is crucial for rural development to guarantee technology dissemination and productivity, especially for small farmers. However, small farmers' requirements are context-specific, and characterization of these requirements is necessary to ensure a successful extension effort. This study encompasses a typological analysis of small farmers from a potato-based system in the Northern Andes of Peru. The agronomic data log of 608 potato farmers from the e-Agrology platform was analyzed for the period of April 2021 to June 2022.

The Transforming Agrifood Systems in South Asia (TAFSSA) district agrifood systems assessment aims to provide a reliable, accessible, and integrated evidence base that links farm production, market access, dietary patterns, climate risk responses, and natural resource management in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. It is designed to be a multi-year assessment. Using data collected in December 2022– April 2023, this brief describes which food items are available and their prices, characteristics of retail shops, markets, and customers, as well asmarketing and promotional activities.

It is designed to be a multi-year assessment.

The Ministry of Green Economy and Environment (MGEE) through the Zambia Meteorological Department (ZMD) hosted a three-day national Stakeholders’ Consultation Workshop at Urban Hotel in Lusaka, Zambia from 14 to 16 November 2023 to develop a National Framework for Weather, Water and Climate Services (NFWWCS) for Zambia. This workshop was held in accordance with the NFWWCS steps as provided by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Step-By-Step Guidelines for National Framework for Weather, Water and Climate Services.

With a focus on oceans, we collaborated across ecological, social and legal disciplines to respond to the United Nations call for transformation in the ‘2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’. We developed a set of 13 principles that strategically and critically connect transformative ocean research to transformative ocean governance (complementing the UN Decade for Ocean Science). We used a rigorous, iterative and transparent consensus-building approach to define the principles, which can interact in supporting, neutral or sometimes conflicting ways.

The research note discusses the Small Farmers Large Field (SFLF) collective action piloted in the states of Odisha and Assamaimed at addressing the challenges faced by small and marginal potato farmers. The model focuses on aggregating farmers to achieve bargaining power, synchronize operations, and improve quality by adopting a single variety of potato. The study uses a mixed method research design to assess the benefits of the SFLF model, including improved quality of inputs, increased mechanization, emerging social networks, and market linkages.

The Transforming Agrifood Systems in South Asia (TAFSSA) initiative implemented the Small Farmers Large Field ((SFLF) collective farming model in two villages of Nalanda, Bihar with 97 potato farmers in Rabi 2022-23. The farmers were providedinput linkages, training in good agricultural practices and output linkages, among other things, to enhance their returns.

Foresight research plays a key role in addressing uncertainty, informing decision making, and enhancing the relevance and credibility of policies. The scientific knowledge of foresight literature provides a better understanding of complexity, building resilience, and setting direction in a rapidly changing world. Moreover, it has contributed to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), enabling governments and organizations to design and implement policies based on a thorough and informed approach.
