SUMMARY:Training Course on Productivity Gainsharing in Agribusiness Enterprises
DESCRIPTION:Gainsharing is an organization-wide performance-based pay system whereby both workers and management receive increased benefits as a result of improved productivity. This practice is common in the manufacturing sector. However\, its application in the agriculture and agribusiness sectors of APO members still needs encouragement. Other than cooperative gainsharing models in the Republic of China\, Japan\, and the Republic of Korea\, the gainsharing approach is not widely practiced in the agribusiness sector in other APO members. \nGainsharing has the potential to contribute to agricultural productivity as farmers are empowered\, actors in supply chains are motivated\, staff involved in agriculture develop an increased feeling of ownership\, and companies receive greater profits due to higher productivity and enhanced efficiency throughout supply chains. Successful gainsharing plans result in quality and productivity improvements of employees. In the Philippines\, for example\, the Wage Rationalization Act promotes the gainsharing concept and practices to increase productivity. Gainsharing also has the potential to encourage youth to become involved in the sector and support small-scale growers. \nThis training course will provide knowledge on the application of gainsharing tools and share best practices to make agribusiness enterprises more productive and profitable. \nFor more details please click on PN.

SUMMARY:Innovative\, Sustainable Beekeeping
DESCRIPTION:Honeybees are vital for sustainable\, productive agriculture\, biodiversity in many ecosystems\, and nutritional security. However\, recent studies have indicated that native bee populations are declining due to climate change\, habitat loss\, invasive species\, parasites and diseases\, and the use of pesticides. The major decline in honeybee health puts agriculture\, healthy lifestyles\, and worldwide food security at risk. In this P-Talk\, Dr. Sedat Sevin\, Co-Founder of BeePlant and Research Assistant in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine\, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology\, Ankara University\, Turkiye\, shares the latest innovations in sustainable\, productive beekeeping including drug design\, use of virtual reality\, robotic systems\, hive tracking systems\, and residue detection in bee products and addresses the issue of how to save bees from climate change. \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.
