The document discusses a global awareness campaign for agricultural biodiversity called "Diversity for Life" launched by Bioversity International. The campaign aims to create a global movement around agricultural biodiversity by raising awareness with policymakers, schools, and media. It discusses ongoing and planned activities in multiple countries that involve developing school curricula, oral history projects conducted by students, and cultural events to highlight the importance of agricultural biodiversity for nutrition, health, culture and adapting to climate change.
Sustainable food systems for biocultural conservation and resilience in the M...Vassilis Gkisakis
[Presentation by Dr. Vasileios, Gkisakis at the Forum Origin, Diversity and Territories 2019, Lausanne, Switzerland]
This contribution analyzes how regional initiatives in Crete, Greece, related to agroecology, support “biocultural diversity” and conservation and significantly contribute to the transition towards sustainable food systems. It utilizes an agroecological and social-ecological conceptual framework that supports deeper understandings of transitions for resilience. Analysis of transdisciplinary literature that addresses constructs of agroecology from the environmental and social sciences will include transitions towards sustainable food systems for biocultural diversity argued through empirical and scientific perspectives.
The discussion involves interpretations of scientific terminology (science), implementation strategies (practice) and partnerships for transitions (movements). The examination of the Cretan paradigm include: The “Life IGIC” project (Life+ programme), the “Melitakes” agroecological social cooperative, the Agroecological Network of Greece and the Crete's Culinary Sanctuaries Educational Network. These socio-ecological examples provide insights that include: biodiversity conservation and use, traditional agricultural knowledge, the Mediterranean heritage foodscape, the successes and challenges in transitioning to sustainable foodways, implications of food security and post-carbon resilience. Critical inquiry will include issues of biocapacity along with opportunities and threats from surrounding socio-ecological processes, industries and businesses. Research implications offer advancements for policy-oriented decision making that can prepare communities for resilience in changing climates, economies and post-carbon contexts.
Food is an absolute need, the world produces enough food for all, private-public-civic provision systems shall be combined differently, mirroring “Universal Health Coverage” and “Education for All” schemes. Reframing food differently: as public good, human right & common good (not only as a commodity). An inspirational and aspirational proposal, to be materialized this decade, to secure that no one will go hungry in a world of plenty.
Our body compulsory demands food, water and air to keep its vital functions and yet their economic nature is rather diverse with food mostly considered a private good, water suffering an accelerated privatization process and air so far considered a global common good. Food has evolved from a common good and local resource to a national asset and then to a transnational commodity as the commodification process is rather completed nowadays. Cultivated food is fully privatized and this consideration means that human beings can eat food as long as they have money to but it or means to produce it. With the dominant no money-no food rationality, hunger still prevails in a world of abundance. In order to provide a sound foundation for the transition towards sustainable food systems, the very nature of food as a pure private good is contested and subsequently reversed in this paper, proposing a re-conceptualisation of food as a common good, a necessary narrative for the redesign of the dominating agro-industrial food system that merely sees food as a tradable commodity. This aspirational transition shall lead us to a more sustainable, fairer and farmer-centred food system. The idea of the commons is applied to food, deconstructing food as a pure private good and reconstructing it as an impure commons that can be better produced and distributed by a hybrid tri-centric governance system compounded by market rules, public regulations and collective actions. Several food-related elements are already considered as common goods (i.e. fish stocks, wild fruits, cuisine recipes, agricultural knowledge, food safety regulations and unpatented genetic resources) as well as food’s implications (hunger eradication) and benefits (public health and good nutrition). Should food and be consider as a commons, the implications for the governance of the global food system would be enormous, with examples ranging from placing food outside the framework agreements dealing with pure private goods, banning financial speculation on food commodities or preparing international binding agreements to govern the production, distribution and access of food to every human being.
Using framing theories and describing the historical evolution of dominant/non-dominant valuations of food, it describes how food could be reframed as a commons, thus unlocking unpermitted policies and revaluing forgotten customary food systems.
This presentation explores the multiple meanings of food for human societies, and the dichotomy represented by the hegemonic narrative (food as a commodity) and the emerging counter-hegemonic alternative (food as a commons). I explained the rationale for this shift in value-based narratives: the unsustainability and unfairness of the industrial food system. The transition pathway towards a food commons regime and several policy proposals are also detailed. This presentation summarizes my PhD document "How do people value food?

Food security - RRI in Agricultural research for development

RRI Tools Final Conference - Brussels, 21-22 November 2016
PLENARY SESSION: Facing the societal challenges of our time
Food is a life enabler with multiple meanings and different valuations for societies and individuals throughout history and geographies. The progressive commodification of food as a vital resource is understood as a social construction, informed by Academia, that shapes specific food policy options and blocks or discard other policies. In opposition to this dominant paradigm, an alternative valuation of “food as a commons” is discussed, in practical and theoretical terms. This paper focuses on Food Narratives of Agents in Transition using two theoretical frames (Discourse Analysis and Transition Theory) and adopting three methodological approaches: systematic, heuristic and governance. The first approach presents a genealogy of meanings of commons and food by exploring five schools of thought plus a systematic review of academic literature where food is discussed either as a commons or as commodity. The heuristic approach investigates the relevance the two narratives had in influencing individual and relational agency of food-related professionals working in food systems in transition. The governance approach navigates the policy arena to study how the absolute dominance of the tradeable dimension of food in the political stance of some important countries obscures other non-economic dimensions such as the consideration of food as a human need or human right. Finally, a normative theory of food as a commons is presented, with particular attention to policy and legal options to radically transform the industrial food system.
Lecture at IUC Turin as part of a Module on Social Food Movements. Here I present the right to food constituency, NGOs, associations, legal scholars and the few institutions and countries that actually support politically and financially this fundamental right (closely linked to right to life). I explore major barriers (normative, academic and political) to the full implementation, and analyse the different developments in Latin America (progress) and Europe (stalemate).
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 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.

Towards a better understanding of custodian farmers and their roles: insights...Helga Gruberg Cazon
This publication is the result of a research collaboration between Bioversity International and the Fundación para la Promoción e Investigación de Productos Andinos (PROINPA). It deals with issues regarding on-farm conservation of agrobiodiversity, which is a poorly addressed field of research in spite of its pivotal role in the maintenance of global crop diversity. Strategic actors in on-farm conservation are those farmers who, for various reasons, distinguish themselves from others by their contribution to conserving crop diversity. We call them ‘custodian famers’, even though the terminology may not be suitable to all social contexts. Understanding who these custodian farmers are, their presence over the territory, the types of crops they maintain, why and how, as well as gaining insights on the cultural, social and economic drivers behind their efforts is, for scientists, a very important step in devising effective on-farm conservation strategies and this booklet is a contribution in that direction. The open-ended interviews and participant observation methodologies provided in this study are helpful in guiding future methodological approaches and advancing our understanding of how the roles of custodian farmers can be better recognized, harnessed and supported by society. This work has been carried out in the framework of a major global UN Project supported by IFAD and the European Commission, which is focusing on the development of innovative participatory approaches for the conservation of neglected and underutilized species (NUS) on farm.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
