The Brussels Development Briefing n.60 on “The future of food and agricultural transformation” organised by CTA, the European Commission/EuropeAid, the ACP Secretariat and CONCORD was held on Wednesday 26 February 2020 (9h00-13h00) at the ACP Secretariat, Avenue Georges Henri 451, 1200 Brussels.
The briefing presented trends and discussed the sustainable and healthy food systems, the future of work in agriculture and the need for new skills in very complex food chains, the effects of disruptive innovations, fair and inclusive value chains and trade.
The audience was made up of ACP-EU policy-makers and representatives of the EU Member States, civil society groups, research networks and development practitioners, the private sector and international organisations based in Brussels as well as representatives from ACP regional organisations.
Second lecture (out of three) in the Master on European and Global Governance by the Institute for European Global Studies (University of Basel, Switzerland).
https://europa.unibas.ch/fr/weiterbildung/cas-europe-2050/
This presentation includes a critical assessment of a recent foresight report on the future of Global and European Food Security in 2030, an analysis of the Common Agricultural Policy (past and future) and the rising numbers of food insecure european households.
Concete policy proposals that could be included in a yet-to-be Common Food Policy (replacing the current CAP in 2020) are discussed at the end.
Comments are more than welcomed.
Powerpoint of one of my PhD studies on how food-related professionals working in the food system in multiple institutions value food (as a commons or a commodity) and how this valuation shapes preferred food policies.
Presented at International Conference of the European Network of Political Ecology (ENTITLE), Stockholm, 20-23 of March 2016

Third lecture (out of three) in the Master on European and Global Governance by the Institute for European Global Studies (University of Basel, Switzerland).
https://europa.unibas.ch/fr/weiterbildung/cas-europe-2050/
This lecture analyses the competing narratives of transition in the global and European food systems, within the theoretical framework of the Socio-technical Transition Theory and the Multi-Level Perspective.
The dominant productivist narrative of the regime and the alternative narratives of the innovative and challenging niches are presented (food sovereignty, agro-ecology, de-growth, commons, Transition Towns, Buen Vivir, Ubuntu).
My first presentation (out of three) in the Master on European and Global Governance by the Institute for European Global Studies (University of Basel, Switzerland).
An analysis of the global food system (production, consumption and crisis) and the two different sub-systems that conform it: the industrial food systema and the peasant's food web.
Lecture in the Module "Global Food Policies" on the Master Food, Law and Finance (IUC Torino, 20 March 2017). In a world that is largerly poor, although improving, the industrial food system is the main driver of planetary havoc, exceeding already several planetary boundaries that preserve our societies and a stable Nature. The paradoxes of the industrial food system (food kills people, food is not for people, food producers stay hungry, food is wasted) illustrate a disfunctional system that is unsustainable, inequitious and inefficient. The industrial food system wouldn't be able to exist without public subsidies and enabling regulations. This lecture explores those elements that sustain a technological way of producing and consuming food, the narrative behind, the lock-in mechanisms and the main flaws, proposing alternative ways to produce and consume.

Lecture delivered in the Module "Global Food Policies" of the Master Food, Law & Finance at International University College, Torino, Italy (22 Feb 2017). The Global North, that used to be dubbed "Developed Countries" or "First World", is experiencing a growing pandemic of malnutrition (growing obesity and stagnant undernutrition) due to its complete reliance in the industrial food system and its driving ethos: profit maximisation out of food production. This low-cost food system is killing us and destroying Nature. Specific food policies found in the Global North will be analysed, including the huge Farm Bill (US) and CAP (EU). Amongst the topics addressed, one can mention: Can we afford a healthy diet?, the productivist paradigm, Corporate Ethos VS Public Policies,
GMO Labelling in US and Civic Collective Actions for Food. At the end, a set of alternative Policy Options for the North will be presented and discussed, based on a different valuation of food: not as a commodity but a commons.
Urban Agriculture Paper - From The Urban Agriculture Summit 2011, Washington ...Plantagon
The necessary components for green food production are found in flows of urban resources as nutrients, water, CO2 and energy in heating. If products are grown in closed urban agricultural systems using the best available environmental techniques, risks for both plants and consumers will be minimized. The Problem - The solution and biodiversity as a consequence (Washington D.C. November 16, 2011)
Lecture in the module "Global Food Policies" of the Master in Food, Law and Finance (IUC Torino, 23 Feb 2017). Several very common food policies often implemented in countries of the Global South are presented and analysed through a critical approach (who wins/who loses, balance of power, visible outputs VS underlying causes, collateral effects, paternalism VS universalism, rights-based or needs-based). taxing unhealthy ultra-processed food and beverages (Mexico soda tax as case study), conditional cash transfers and their impact in stunting (Mexico and Brazil as case studies) and patented technologies to save lives VS public research (Plumpy Nut, ready-to-use therapeutic food to save lives in humanitarian situations). The idea is to understand the advantages, impacts and challenges of those well-known food policies.
This presentation will explain what does it mean the food commons, or the consideration of food as a commons. Why is so necessary in these times of global crisis and how customary and contemporary food commons are knitting a web of viable alternatives to the dominant industrial food system.
Crown capital eco management whole fraud - exposing the myth of so-called n...georgiepolly
On Jan. 31, organic and natural foods giant Whole Foods Market (WFM) once again attacked the Organic Consumers Association, the nation's leading watchdog on organic standards, as being too "hard-line" for insisting that retailers like WFM stop selling, or at least start labeling, billions of dollars worth of so-called "natural" foods in their stores - foods that are laced with unlabeled, hazardous genetically engineered (GE) ingredients.
WFM's most recent attack on OCA predictably backfired, throwing gasoline on the fiery debate surrounding my previous essay "The Organic Elite Surrenders to Monsanto." In that essay, written in January 2011, I criticized WFM and several other well-known organic companies for their foolish (now hopefully repudiated) stance of espousing "co-existence" with the USDA and Monsanto, in exchange for minimal federal regulation of genetically engineered crops.
The current industrial system of production, transformation and consumption of food is the major driver of planetary destruction. This system, sustained by the normative valuation of food as a commodity, is pursuing resource enclosures and unsustainable exploitation beyond planetary boundaries to satisfy the profit maximization ethos. Because food is only a commodity, for-profit initiatives are fully justified.
In this lecture, I propose a different value-based narrative, one based on the multiple dimensions of food relevant to human beings, dimensions that cannot be valued in market monetary terms. Food as a commodity just use the treadeable dimension of food. But what about the others (i.e. a human right, and essential resource, a cultural determinant). Therefore, food shall be valued differently, as a multi-dimensional commons with public good dimensions that require a different kind of governance and allocation mechanisms othern than the market.
If we need to change drastically the global food system in crisis, we need to start by having a different narrative and different food values. Here is a first approach to that.
Lecture at IUC Turin as part of a Module on Social Food Movements. Here I analyse the major achievements of Via Campesina and the Food Sovereignty movements it leads, deconstructing specific topics included in the general Food Sovereignty narrative and exploring them in some detail: food for export, food for consumption, agro-ecology, right to food, against dumping and GMOs, food is not a commodity, valuing indigenous food systems, commons, women's contribution to food production, etc

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.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

7. 1. Globalisation and simultaneous diversification of feeding behaviour
2. Increasing dependence on international trade but no global market
3. Consolidation and transformation of the agroindustrial paradigm,
together with globalisation of alternative models
4. Planetary consciousness of global challenges and the emergence of
systemic risks
5. Rising number of stakeholders, hybridisation of their status and
proliferation of their interactions
6. Multilateralism in crisis and an increasingly hybrid and fragmented
governance
