Stefan Burkart, sr. scientist of the #TropicalForages Program presents in the @IGC2023 Grassland Policies, Social Issues, and Ecosystem Services session the keynote 'Public policies for the development of a sustainable, forage-based cattle sector in Latam: A comparative analysis'
@IGC2023 LatAm is essential in the global cattle industry since it contributes > 25% of global🥩supply and 10% of 🥛supply. A sector that generates both internal and external benefits. However, the environmental effects of traditional or conventional production should be considered.
@IGC2023 Although the countries express a political will to promote sust. practices, the advances are dissimilar. Even though, the implemented policies should not be abandoned, but rather persist and be expressed in tangible effects. It is necessary to assume them as a long-term process.

‼️#HappeningNow: @RyanWaltersSupt is introducing his budget to state lawmakers. His education goals include “eliminating CRT, indoctrination” and providing “comprehensive school choice.”#oklaed
His two key differences from Hofmeister’s budget:
-merit-based teacher pay instead of an overall base pay increase for teachers
-investment into early childhood reading
Here’s the details for teacher pay.⬇️
-merit-based teacher pay instead of an overall base pay increase for teachers
-investment into early childhood reading
Here’s the details for teacher pay.⬇️
Every Kid Reads Recovery Act request is $100M, which Walters has continuously said is the largest investment into early reading in the country. He’s using examples of programs in Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee as initiatives he’d like here.
#HappeningNow disruptions at AOC listening Hall in Astoria Queens that's held for the local community
Event ended with crowd erupting with applause for AOC
I'll post a detailed thread later, but the message from the protesters seemed mixed from person to person, started by one person opposing LGBTQ specific center, others spoke up about rising crime and one person said something against Ukraine but it wasn't clear.

#HappeningNow Is Data Sexist? Questions (and Answers) about Advancing Gender Data #SIDUSConference
Nisha Singh: I think data reflects a lot of the biases that society has. Not only is data sexist but sometimes when it's simplified, it can render people vulnerable by the label used.
Ryan Ubuntu Olson: as much as I respect data, it's not everything. I like to think of gender data as a prism, it's multi-faceted and gives us a better understanding of situations.

“Most commonly, conflict instability and economic insecurity have been the driving push factors that we see in Syria, Afghanistan, and Ukraine.” – Anna Slother
“While each conflict has been different, a similar level of basic services is needed in the immediate term followed by a longer term plan for relocation and, ideally, integration. For example, in Colombia, that’s what we’re seeing happen for Venezuelan migrants.” – Anna Slother

@jenkatesdc "Equity is not about equality, it's about ensuring that everyone has the same ability to access the same things. Equity requires work to get there."
@NFBilimoria "I think we can actually use a lot of the interventions we've learned from COVID response to be usable towards other important health activities."

“How do we practically ensure that we are empowering girls? We know that community engagement is very important. Once a community accepts something, it’s easier for vulnerable people, like girls, to express themselves and spread their wings without fear.” – @MaiMwonzora
“The only reason I’m talking to you here today is my father. It’s very important to educate fathers. We need to invest in them. Being a good role model to young people, especially as a father or husband, is way more impactful than investing millions of dollars.” – @uzmashraf

#HappeningNow Understanding Local Perspectives on the Impact of Blended Finance on Development #SIDUSConference
“1.7 billion people still need access to financial services. The guarantees are going to be essential to helping us maintain focus on social elements like climate change and gender inclusion.” – @AndreeSimon
The COVID crisis provided a great exercise for Pomona in terms of solidifying their value proposition. "We would love to do more with blended finance as there’s an opportunity to build more robust teams that can go in and provide tailored value add services.” – @rvambrose
As communications professionals, @Dante_Licona asks "Who are the audiences you care about? Are we serving our organizations or our audiences?"
3 things to remember on social media: presence, consistency, and shareability. "It's important to invest in an organic daily social media strategy."
