Everyone has a dream. But sometimes there’s a gap between where we are and where we want to be. True, there are some people who can bridge that gap easily, on their own, but all of us need a little help at some point. A little boost. An accountability partner. A Snooze Squad. In each episode, the Snooze Squad will strategize an action plan for people to face their fears. Guests will transform their own perception of their potential and walk away a few inches closer to who they want to become ...

Enhancing Biodiversity and Resilience in Intensive Farming Systems: Results from an ETH Zürich-IFPRI Collaborative study Co-organized by IFPRI, ETH Zürich, and Bayer DEC 6, 2022 - 10:00 TO 11:30AM EST The growth of our global food production capacity over the past century is unprecedented, and has been facilitated by advances in crop breeding, mechanization, intensification, and the application of chemical inputs. This has come at a cost in terms of biodiversity loss and land degradation. This apparent trade-off between productivity and environment can be resolved through adoption of new farming practices that emphasize restoring and maintaining biodiversity on agricultural land to the benefit of soils and crops. The science underpinning such practices is still being developed and trialed, but we know enough to propose alternative management principles. Similarly, farmers have long been experimenting and adapting their farming systems, sometimes drawing on scientific outputs, but more often than not drawing on their own experiential learning and knowledge exchange across farmer networks. In recognition of the developing science coupled with the growing interest of farmers in exploring new approaches to enhance farm resilience, ETH Zurich and IFPRI are pleased to share their research findings undertaken as part of the Enhancing Biodiversity and Resilience in Crop Production project, supported by Bayer. Over the course 2021-2022, ETH Zurich and IFPRI, together with partners in Germany, France, Brazil, and the USA, conducted systematic reviews of the scientific literature, complemented with interviews with farmers in each country, to evaluate management options for enhancing biodiversity and resilience in crop production. A panel composed of farmers, researchers, government and private sector actors will then comment on these research findings through the lens of farm management realities, and offer their perspectives on how to advance this area of research and how to achieve greater coherence of multiple policies, programs, and efforts. Welcome Remarks Wei Zhang, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Project Overview Jaboury Ghazoul, Chair of Ecosystem Management, ETH Zürich Presentations of key findings Practices and Technologies Maryam Yousefi Bardaskan, Postdoctoral researcher, Department of Environmental Systems Science, ETH Zürich Factors affecting farmers’ participation in agri-environmental schemes Sergei Schaub, Postdoctoral researcher, Agroscope and ETH Zürich Spatial distribution of intensive soybean, maize, and wheat production systems in Brazil, France, Germany, the United States Zhe Guo, Senior GIS Coordinator, IFPRI Co-developing a framework and indicators for assessing the performance of biodiversity-enhancing practices Xin Zhang, Associate Professor, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Panel Discussion Wei Zhang, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Adrian Ivory, Manager Strathisla Farms, Blairgowrie, Scotland Fernando Sampaio, Director, Produzir Conservar Incluir (PCI) Institute, Brazil Sergei Schaub, Postdoctoral researcher, Agroscope and ETH Zürich Celine Termote, Regional lead for Africa of the food environment and consumer behaviour research group, Alliance Bioversity International and CIAT Bärbel Hundt, Biodiversity Strategy Director, Bayer Crop Science Q&A Closing Remarks Xin Zhang, Associate Professor, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Note of Thanks Wei Zhang, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Moderator Charlotte Hebebrand, Director of Communications and Public Affairs, IFPRI More about this seminar: https://www.ifpri.org/event/enhancing-biodiversity-and-resilience-intensive-farming-systems-results-eth-ifpri Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription
