SUMMARY:Training Course on Advanced Internet of Things Applications for Smart Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Application of the IoT has become a foundation for businesses to enhance productivity and adopt smart manufacturing. The IoT has proven highly effective in reducing downtime\, monitoring quality\, improving energy efficiency\, enabling predictive maintenance\, and better understanding customers’ needs. \nThe Asia-Pacific region has adopted the IoT progressively. A Microsoft survey in 2021 reported that businesses in the Asia-Pacific had a higher ratio than the global average of investment in learning about\, piloting\, and purchasing IoT technologies\, which helps them gain higher productivity\, more optimized operations\, and greater opportunities for innovation. WEF analysis in 2021 also showed that adoption of the IoT was accelerated as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Both SMEs and larger businesses leveraged the IoT to ensure real-time monitoring and adjustment of production\, remote control and maintenance\, and overall agility and flexibility for business continuity. \nThe IoT has much more to offer to manufacturers through its complementarities and integration with related digital technologies\, such as data analytics\, edge and cloud computing\, AI\, and information security. This training course will impart advanced knowledge of IoT applications by providing interactive practice and enhance understanding of the synergies it can create when integrated with other technologies. \n\nFor more details please click on PN.

SUMMARY:Training Course on Smart Sustainability Assessment Tools and Techniques for Improving Agrifood Industries
DESCRIPTION:Efforts to achieve socially\, economically\, and environmentally sustainable development are progressing. Agrifood-sector stakeholders are actively contributing by improving productivity\, protecting natural resources\, and minimizing the environmental impacts of farming and agribusiness operations as seen from their sustainability assessment performance that covers environmental integrity\, economic resilience\, social well-being\, and good governance from production to processing and distribution. \nSustainability assessment has emerged as an important policy tool for both government and private business. The assessment can be in the form of self-evaluation by agribusiness enterprises or reporting to business partners\, consumers\, or authorities. One of the guidelines for performing the assessment is the FAO’s Sustainability Assessment in Food and Agriculture Systems (SAFA) Guidelines (Version 3.0). Tools have been developed following the SAFA Guidelines\, enabling farms and companies to assess their sustainability in a credible\, transparent\, comparable manner. They include the Sustainability Monitoring and Assessment RouTine tools of the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture and the Life Cycle Assessment tool for analysis of potential environmental impacts of products or services during their entire life cycle. \nThis course will familiarize participants with smart sustainability assessment tools and techniques for improving the performance of agrifood industries\, particularly SMEs. It will also discuss sustainability assessment from the perspective of the APO’s Green Productivity concept\, covering resource recycling\, green energy\, green factories\, and agroinnovation for green agrifood industries. \n\nFor more details please click on PN.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Digital Transformation for the Public Sector
DESCRIPTION:The public sector is undergoing rapid digital transformation to improve its engagement with citizens\, deliver better public services\, cut costs\, and help deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has underscored the importance of digital technologies in building economic and social resilience through strategic\, agile\, innovative approaches and sped up the digital transformation process of the public sector. \nThe OECD’s Digital Government Index 2019 states that digital government represents an evolution from e-government. A number of APO members are leading this transformative process. The World Digital Government Ranking in 2021 by the Institute of D-government\, Waseda University\, Japan\, reported that Singapore\, the Republic of Korea\, Japan\, and the Republic of China were in the top 10 in the transition to digital government. \nThis workshop will share and examine the imperatives for and advances in digital transformation of the public sector\, especially its adoption levels and strategic approaches \n\nFor more details please click on PN.

SUMMARY:Genome-edited Tomatoes
DESCRIPTION:Genome-editing technology can add value to crops and promote productivity in agriculture. Genome-edited tomatoes\, with about five times the gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) level of traditional ones\, are now grown commercially in Japan. GABA reduces human blood pressure and induces relaxation. After government approval in May 2021\, Tokyo-based Sanatech Seed Company has ventured into this business. Its Chief Technology Officer Professor Hiroshi Ezura shares the story of its journey. \nPlease click here to watch. \nSubscribe to our APO YouTube channel for more videos and updates on our activities. \nFor any inquiries\, please write to: p-talk@apo-tokyo.org.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Inclusive Rural Development
DESCRIPTION:Agriculture is an essential sector and major source of employment in many Asian countries. For comprehensive\, productive rural development\, it is important to involve women\, youth\, and persons with different abilities\, in rural community activities. These groups are often overlooked\, but their inclusion is essential for productivity growth. \nInclusive rural transformation is central to eliminating poverty and hunger and building inclusive\, sustainable societies for all. The process includes raising agricultural productivity\, increasing marketable surpluses\, expanding off-farm employment opportunities\, providing better access to services and infrastructure\, and building the capacity to influence policy\, all of which can lead to improved rural livelihoods and inclusive growth (IFAD\, Rural Development Report 2016). Governments and enterprises can contribute by engaging disadvantaged groups in meaningful employment and supporting improvement in their socioeconomic status. \nThis workshop will examine inclusive rural transformation and share innovative examples of social inclusion and rural economic revitalization initiatives of governments\, private-sector enterprises\, and public–private partnerships. \n\nFor more details please click on PN.
