SUMMARY:Pedometrics 2017
DESCRIPTION:The first Pedometrics conference was organized in Wageningen in 1992. To mark the occasion of its 25th anniversary\, the Pedometrics community will again assemble in Wageningen this year\, from June 26 to July 1\, 2017. \nThe conference will have a plenary afternoon session fully dedicated to the 25th anniversary. The program includes lectures that look back and ahead\, an anniversary Pedometrics quiz and a very special group photograph. \nPedometrics\nPedometrics is a branch of soil science that applies mathematical and statistical methods for the study of the distribution and genesis of soils. \nThe goal is to achieve a better understanding of the soil as a phenomenon that varies over different scales in space and time. This understanding is important\, both for improved soil management and for our scientific appreciation of the soil and the systems (agronomic\, ecological and hydrological) of which it is a part. For this reason much of pedometrics is concerned with predicting the properties of the soil in space and time\, with sampling and monitoring the soil and with modelling the soil’s behaviour. \nPedometricians are typically engaged in developing and applying quantitative methods to apply to these problems. These include geostatistical methods for spatial prediction\, sampling designs and strategies\, linear modelling methods and novel mathematical and computational techniques such as wavelet transforms\, data mining and fuzzy logic. \nConference 2017\nPedometrics began as a Working Group of the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) in 1992 that was promoted to an IUSS Commission in 2004. Since this time\, the Pedometrics Comission has been very supportive of the creation of new Working Groups\, leading to the Pedometrics 2017 to be hosted as a joint meeting of the Pedometrics Commission and five of its associated Working Groups. \nFor more information on the congress\, please visit the website. \n

SUMMARY:Presentation World Bank report "Enabling the Business of Agriculture"
DESCRIPTION:The Netherlands Enterprise Agency is organizing a meeting with the World Bank to present their yearly publication “Enabling the Business of Agriculture” (EBA). The publication examines and monitors regulations that impact how markets function in the agriculture and agribusiness sectors. The ultimate aim is to promote smart regulations that ensure safety and quality control as well as efficient regulatory processes that support thriving agribusinesses. The report provides a tool for policymakers to identify and analyze legal barriers for the business of agriculture and to quantify transaction costs of dealing with government regulations. The latest edition provides analysis and results from 62 countries (including the Netherlands)\, covering all regions of the world. \nFor more information on EBA\, please visit the website: http://eba.worldbank.org/. If you are interested in participating in the meeting\, please send an email to (function(){var ml="3o%lia-vC.tDsF42rcmeAhE0kfn"\,mi="20852?GE@CI20;2??B543:120D:412>G@719J32??2?G2?GA35?B5A=CJ4AB=CFH0G=315C88C8HC8H75?DDCJEC88>?B5A=@5B1
