The document outlines an initiative called Art4Agriculture that aims to promote Australian agriculture to students. It discusses having young farmers visit schools to share their experiences and generating trust in modern farming practices. Students complete assessment tasks like creating artwork with a fibreglass bull, blogging about farm visits, making a video to promote a commodity, and presenting a PowerPoint calling for sustainable food supply chains. The program aims to bridge the rural-urban divide and increase understanding of how farmers feed cities and the world.
Hamutal (Tula) Schieber recently talked about Food Trends at a conference. A version of this presentation is available here:
It is true that speed or ease of preparation, convenience, taste, indulgence and health are not new trends. But each of these considerations has changed significantly in the last decade and especially after the Coronavirus Pandemic, and we reviewed how consumers perceive them. Furthermore: who influences consumers today? How do consumers decide what is healthy and what is a treat, whether to make a meal or buy it, whether to go to a store or buy online? What external factors influence the choice of brands and packaging - such as trends, social media, independent production, craftsmanship, ethics, sustainability, contribution to society?
Is the future of food growing from your smartphone? Agnieszka Nazaruk
In the world our food system is broken we need radical, new, innovative solutions to address some of the most pressuring problems. We have see a big food tech revolution coming, but also a big trend towards local and personal food production. In this presentation we ponder about the challenges faced by our food system and whether the technology - making growing food and plants as easy as playing with your smartphone could be the answer to empower business owners, restaurants and cafes, small farmers and individuals to bring hyper-local and personal food production to the mainstream.

Waste Not, Want Not: Aspirationals and the Future of Food WasteSustainable Brands
This deck was part of a Sustainable Brands webinar. View the recording of this webinar at SustainableBrands.com/library
The average U.S. family trashes $1,500 worth of edible food each year while one in six Americans struggle with food insecurity. How might we change our culture of waste? What is the role for retailers and food manufacturers? Based on a recent study about the values, drivers and food waste rituals of Aspirational consumers, BBMG founding partner Mitch Baranowski reveals why the future of food waste revolves around shifting the narrative and disrupting the consumer journey. Join this provocative discussion and leave with a clear sense of the many design opportunities in front of us.
What You Will Learn:
--Gain insight into the values and issues that matter most for this growing segment
--Explore Aspirational consumers’ food waste rituals and routines
--Discover new territories for advancing your brand strategy
--Gain insights into driving consumer engagement
--Learn about best practices, emerging trends and expert opinions
The way we cook, eat, buy and store our food is undergoing radical change.
Emerging technologies, from the Internet of Things to augmented reality, present us with endless possibilities to improve the way we produce and cook our food. But without good design, these will only ever be possibilities. To bring this technology into the home’s – and the hands – of everyday people, it has to be tailored into people-centred products and services.
In the following pages, we’ve gathered key change drivers, opportunity spaces, and some initial ideas for future concepts. Enjoy!

Get Wasted, Session 4: The Low Hanging Fruit = Food WasteGA Circular
This is the slide deck presented at our 4th event of a pressing Series on 'Circular Economy & Waste Management' in Asia.
Globally, about 1/3 of the total amount of food produced in the world never reaches our plates - that's equivalent to $1 trillion dollars! Meanwhile, just a quarter of this is enough to feed 780 million hungry people.
Worst still, if food waste were a country, it would be the world’s third largest emitter of greenhouse gases, with an economic cost of up to US$680 billion.
This session aims to shed light on the current food waste situation, especially in Asia and throughout the food value chain, to look at innovative business solutions, to both reduce food waste & to ensure that unavoidable food waste goes to something useful - i.e. compost to grow our next harvest of nutritious food.
We look forward to stimulating discussions on how to reduce food waste and to turn it into an opportunity for business!
Our Mission:
To provide struggling communities with thetechnology to grow fish and vegetables and feed thousands of people; to teach these people to sustain and expand this technology, become self sufficient, and feed thousands more.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
