The document discusses the Ag Futures Alliance (AFA), a roundtable designed to build consensus around local policies impacting the food system. The AFA brings together diverse stakeholders to work towards creating a sustainable local food system. Rather than isolation or conflict, the AFA seeks to develop personal relationships between polarized parties and collaborate on projects to preserve farmland and support local agriculture. AFAs have been established in several California counties and have worked on initiatives such as farmland preservation, farm-to-school programs, and developing local food distribution.

Regional Partnerships and Approaches to Farm to Institution - presentationNational Farm To School Network
This document discusses different approaches to philanthropy, including the traditional model of foundations issuing grants to non-profits based on grant proposals, and the emerging "collective impact" model of philanthropic organizations partnering with groups working on systemic change. It argues this latter approach requires mobilizing and coordinating stakeholders towards shared objectives, which is messier but leads to more sustainable change. The document then discusses how philanthropy is increasingly supporting farm-to-institution collaborations and regional food systems through organizations like the John Merck Fund, which funds initiatives in New England around institutional demand and regional food supply networks.Whole Measures for Community Food Systems: Values-Based Planning and Evaluation
The document introduces Whole Measures for Community Food Systems, a tool for evaluating community food system projects using a values-based approach. It is designed to help organizations measure not just outputs and outcomes, but also the complex relationships and impacts of their work in building holistic, community food systems. The tool focuses on six fields that reflect a vision for whole communities through community food system development: justice and fairness; strong communities; vibrant farms; healthy people; sustainable ecosystems; and thriving local economies. Organizations can use the tool to define intended outcomes, facilitate values-based discussions, and holistically evaluate how their work affects the creation of healthy, whole communities.

Expanding Access to FMs Act Final
This bill aims to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to require state electronic benefit transfer (EBT) contracts to treat wireless retailers the same as wired retailers. It defines various types of wireless retailers, including farmers markets, farm stands, green carts, and route vendors. It requires states to provide wireless EBT equipment to these retailers to enable immediate verification of benefits. It also allows states flexibility in procuring wireless EBT systems and using appropriate wireless technologies.
Combined Resources
Several states have implemented programs to support the use of SNAP benefits at farmers markets. Iowa funds machine rental fees and transaction fees for farmers markets starting in 2005. New York provided wireless machines to farmers in 2002, but sales were flat until a marketing program in 2005 increased sales significantly by 2010. Michigan is offering a dollar-for-dollar match up to $20 per day on SNAP and reward cards at farmers markets. Massachusetts grants fund wireless machines, transaction fees, and outreach programs to encourage SNAP use at farmers markets.

Community Support Manual
Community support is essential for farmers market success. Building relationships with community partners such as businesses, government, schools, non-profits, and customers can strengthen the market. Partners can support markets by serving on boards, assisting with operations, fundraising, communications, and advocacy. Engaging the community, documenting the market's benefits, and having a clear mission statement are important for gaining and maintaining support.
Urban & Community-Based Ag: Growing the Movement, Cultivating Policy Change3
Urban & Community-Based Ag: Growing the Movement, Cultivating Policy Change3Community Food Security Coalition
This document discusses the EPA Brownfields Program and the benefits of urban agriculture on brownfields. It notes that brownfields are properties that are difficult to reuse due to potential hazardous substances. Redeveloping brownfields using urban agriculture can increase property values, reduce soil erosion, reuse organic materials, and promote community health. The EPA offers yearly grants and technical assistance for brownfield assessment and cleanup through targeted assessments. Contact information is provided for the Brownfields Grants Manager at EPA Region 9.Expanding Access and FM Study
This document summarizes a study comparing the prices of common foods like produce, meat and eggs between farmers markets and supermarkets in 19 communities across 6 Southeastern states. The study found that in most communities, produce and organic produce were cheaper at farmers markets than supermarkets by an average of 22% and 16% respectively. Meats and eggs were generally more expensive at farmers markets, but by only 10% when comparing grass-fed options. When accounting for comparable products, farmers markets were cheaper than supermarkets in 74% of cases, on average by 12% lower cost.
Health Insurance Report September 2011
The document summarizes a survey of 393 farmers market managers and producers about their healthcare coverage. It finds that 31.9% of respondents lack health insurance, compared to 16.7% nationally, with 92.6% citing cost as the reason.

Carolyn Zezima, Director of Food and Nutrition Initiatives, Communities IMPACT Diabetes Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine
Despite increasing recognition that fresh, healthy, local foods are scarce in low-income communities, and the creation of a number of healthy food initiatives targeting these communities, historically underserved communities still lack novel, profitable, and sustainable businesses that supply healthy, affordable and taste-satisfying foods. Bringing together the business and public health sectors, Communities IMPACT Diabetes Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine invited business students to submit concepts and plans for viable, market and community-driven business solutions to one of our most pressing public health needs: healthy, affordable food in underserved communities. The proposed enterprises must have served communities with limited availability to healthy foods, be tailored to the particular assets and challenges in the communities, and must be developed in consultation with target communities. Proposals were judged by a panel of experts in business, food and local government. Teams competed for $25,000 in start-up funds and other business support services.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up Slides

Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
