The global COVID vaccination effort has made great progress — but low income countries still lag far behind Almost a year and a half into the global COVID vaccination campaign, there has been great progress in many countries. Around three-quarters of those in high- and upper-middle income countries have completed the initial vaccination protocol, and many have received one or more booster doses. Yet low income countries still lag far behind — just under 13% of people have completed the initial protocol. In some countries, such as Haiti and Yemen, this number is still under 2%. > Explore our global vaccination dataset, alongside cases, deaths, hospitalizations, testing, and other metrics by country in our COVID Data Explorer.

MyEasyFarm Driver, the new mobile application The MyEasyFarm Driver mobile application, designed for drivers, allows the platform to be used without necessarily having a console in the tractor. >> MyEasyFarm also fits in your pocket! The MyEasyFarm Driver mobile application, designed for drivers, allows the platform to be used without necessarily having a console in the tractor. Now thanks to the MyEasyFarm Drivermobile application, your phone can automatically record your interventions. And it can help you manage the following points: >> Automatic job registration MyEasyFarm automatically detects your entry and exit in a plot. Thus the application can start or end a task by itself. This allows you to determine the time spent in each plot. Then you can document these tasks with other information such as the input used and the quantities applied. >> Telemetry Indicate the hardware used and geolocate it on the MyEasyFarm platform by activating geolocation on the mobile application. This way, the positioning of your machines is sent directly to the platform and you can follow your machines from your office. >> Task views This mobile application allows drivers to organize their day by visualizing all the tasks they have to perform and the information needed for each intervention (location of the plot, equipment, employee, input and input quantities...). >> Easy modulation without a console Display your recommendation maps and geolocation on your phone to vary the rate applied manually to each location in the plot. See myeasyfarm.com The largest mammals have always been at the greatest risk of extinction – this is still the case today Looking at the average size of mammals over the last 1.5 million years, we see a clear trend: they’ve gotten much smaller, with their mean mass decreasing by more than 98%. Very large mammal species, such as “straight-tusked elephants” and the Southern Mammoth, disappeared one by one. Why has this happened? The evidence points toward one main culprit: humans. Our small but big-brained hominid ancestors hunted the largest mammal species to extinction. In this article we look at the history of this “downsizing” of mammals, and discuss how the biggest mammals are still at the greatest risk of extinction today — but it doesn’t have to be this way. What share of people say they are vegetarian, vegan, or flexitarian? There is a growing interest in the environmental, ethical, and health impacts of our diets. Is this translating to changes in dietary preferences? In this article we look at recent data from YouGov, the polling group in the UK, which surveys around 2,000 adults every six months about their dietary preferences. Most people reported that they eat at least some meat; 5% described themselves as vegetarian; 3% as pescetarian, and 2% as vegan. A larger share—16%—described themselves as “flexitarian,” meaning they are mostly vegetarian but occasionally eat meat or fish. Young people were much more likely to report eating no or very little meat. We will update this data every six months with the most recent survey results. How did we see the future yesterday?? See the incredible collection developed by Alain Fraval Meet ROBOTTI, the Do-It-All Farm Robot AGROINTELLI’s autonomous implement-carrying innovation has been more than 20 years in the making and commercial ready for the last four. Farmers are eager to see what it can do. In recent years, much of the discussion and debate surrounding ag robotics centers on the idea of helping farmers do more with less. The growing constraints on farmers’ time, money and resources have contributed to the increase in machines dedicated to tackling the sector’s most monotonous, repetitive tasks. See agricultural-robotics.com The Innovators Solving Ag Robotics’ Perception Problems VARTA believes that those who collect, analyse and understand data will be the ones to succeed long-term. Here’s how one of the world’s leading battery manufacturer works to stay ahead of the curve. The changes to the agriculture industry are far-reaching and wide-ranging. From robotics slowly making their way to operations around the world to the increased emphasis on environmentally friendly practices, automation companies are pivoting to meet their customers’ shifting needs and expectations.

Solar Microgrids Are Keeping Ukraine’s Hospitals Running, by Chris York, May 23, 2022 U.S. renewables experts support the war-besieged country with tech hailed a ‘game-changer’ for disaster relief settings. .../... Are solar microgrids the future of humanitarian response? In one sense, that future is already here. That said, there’s still a place for more powerful diesel generators until solar technology further improves. “It depends on what the mission is,” says Shmotolokha. “If you’re housing refugees in a stadium and you need to power the stadium lights, you’re going to need a megawatt diesel generator. But if you want to run a community center that’s distributing food, then we’ve already done that a bunch so no problem there. There’s a lot of innovation happening. What we’re doing today, you just couldn’t have done even two or three years ago.” See reasonstobecheerful.worldv Poor speculators?
FIRA OPEN DAY 2022 / Replay #WFIRA21 / The Push to Increase Ag Robotics Adoption on Farms With an abundance of new autonomous machines hitting the market each year, experts weigh in on the best approach to fund, deploy and scale-up these high-tech solutions.

See futurefarming.com FarmWise’s weeding robots haul in $45m Series B funding from Taylor Farms, others, AFN, by Jack Ellis The FarmWise platform uses artificial intelligence, cameras, and sensors to generate a mass of “plant-level data” — including size, stress levels, and identifying features — which its fleet of Titan robots then relies on to differentiate between crops and weeds. A set of robotic arms on the underside of each Titan unit then mechanically removes the weeds as they trundle across the vegetable field. FarmWise claims that its platform’s plant database includes more than 450 million scanned images of individual crops collected over 15,000 commercial hours in the field.

Connectivity in Australia: how it applies to Ag Robots and Autonomous tractors Australia has a large and very diverse agricultural sector which like many countries is suffering from labour shortages and the need to use precision agriculture to minimise ever increasing input costs. Autonomous tractors and Ag-Robotics have the potential to solve many of the problems being faced on Australian farms with fleets of smaller machines instead of a few very large machines helping to de-risk key operations such as the planting season. Tom Andrews is the CEO of Connected Farms, an Australian specialist agricultural connectivity and agtech company that has become the leading provider of connectivity for ag-robots and autonomous tractors. In this article Tom gives an overview of the connectivity issues and solutions being used to enable the use of Ag-Robots and autonomous implements in Australia. This has been written with the context that agricultural field robots need mobile broadband to effectively operate.

How innovation in farm payments can create a welfare system for the environment, AFN, by guest contributor: Ximena Rueda The UK’s ongoing overhaul of farm subsidies in the wake of Brexit has coincided with growing global calls to repurpose public agricultural subsidies in order to achieve environmental goals. At the same time, private impact investment into schemes that encourage farmers to protect and restore nature is on the rise. Yet neither new funding nor traditional subsidies will reach their aims without first improving farm-level payment mechanisms. Private finance may help fill the huge global funding gap in paying for our shared targets for nature and society. But the world is increasingly beginning to accept that nation states have the same social and financial duty to protect natural habitats and ecosystems as they do people. Public agencies and governments must therefore scale up funding and innovation to meet environmental goals in the same way they deliver social welfare schemes: by dedicating resources to designing fair and effective farm payments that have both the short-term needs, and the long-term interests, of the users in mind. As stewards of the world’s natural resources, farmers need targeted support to equip them to protect and restore nature, requiring conditional farm payments that are fair and just. Badly-designed farm payments can inadvertently make the poor poorer, with large landowners – and larger smallholders, even – benefiting at the expense of subsistence farmers, tenants, and the poorest rural people. Such misguided farm payments can compromise equity in an attempt to target the most environmentally impactful farmers; and they can still miss environmental goals nonetheless. .../...

Meta-Analyses of Glyphosate and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma: Expert Panel Conclusions and Recommendations. Note: Glyphosate, a glycine derivative, is a non-toxic, non-selective systemic herbicide intended to be applied directly to plant foliage. It is one of the most widely used herbicides in agriculture, forestry, industrial weed control, lawn, garden, and aquatic environments—more than 750 products are currently for sale in the United States containing glyphosate. Here are a few key points from the study: - This is one of the most comprehensive analyses of existing research on the topic to date, and the findings support the most recent actions taken by the EPA to allow the continued use of glyphosate without a cancer warning label. Further, the results raise questions on the validity of thousands of pending lawsuits claiming that glyphosate exposure causes cancer. - A double-blind review of eight published meta and pooled analyses by a panel of six senior international experts with deep expertise in the fields of epidemiology, biostatistics, toxicology, and meta-analysis indicates low confidence in a causal relationship between non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and glyphosate, although there were too few studies to reach a conclusion on some particular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma subtypes. - This consistent score of low confidence—an average of 3 on a scale of 1-10, with no score going above 5— indicates that consumers should be confident that there is currently no evidence of a relationship between glyphosate and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Regulators with oversight over the chemical, along with attorneys and judges involved in glyphosate litigation, should take this broad-based research into account when making policy and legal decisions.

How Xi Jinping is damaging China’s economy... Inflexible policies are trumping pragmatism Over the past 20 years China has been the biggest and most reliable source of growth in the world economy. It contributed a quarter of the rise in global gdp over that period and expanded in 79 of 80 quarters. For most of the period since China opened up after Mao’s death, the Communist Party has taken a practical approach to making the country richer, mixing market reforms with state control. Now, however, China’s economy is in danger. The immediate issue is its zero-covid campaign, which has caused a slump and may condemn the economy to a stop-start pattern. That is compounding a bigger problem: President Xi Jinping’s ideological struggle to remake state capitalism. If it stays on this path China will grow more slowly and be less predictable, with big consequences for it and the world. .../... >>> The perils of one-man rule And what of life inside a more insular China? While people vent online about lockdowns and lost jobs, this is unlikely to translate into unrest thanks to surveillance, propaganda and broad support for the party’s goals. Some technocrats disagree with the country’s leftward shift but lack the power and courage required to object to it. And to the extent it can be discerned from the black box of elite politics, there is no rival to Mr Xi, who is 68. Yet in the run-up to a party congress that may see him secure power until at least 2027, the shortcomings of one-man rule in the world’s second-largest economy are glaring.

Five short Jewish Jokes I saw my first porno recently. It was a Jewish porno film, one minute of sex and nine minutes of guilt. "I hear loud knocks on the door. It is either the Gestapo or the pizza delivery with the pizza I ordered." My mom used to work at the Holocaust Memorial in Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. She used to give a lot of group tours. One of the group members one day asked her, "What is the most devastating document you encountered in Yad Vashem?" She looked at him and said, "My paycheck." Years back on Larry King Live, Marlon Brando made the shocking statement that "Hollywood is run by Jews." In response, outraged Jewish organizations made it snow in April. A waiter at a kosher restaurant comes up to a family and asks, "Is anything okay?"
