1) Global meat demand is projected to grow strongly to 2030, though beef consumption makes up a minority share compared to pork and poultry.
2) Health concerns are a major factor driving consumers, especially in Western countries, to reduce meat consumption or seek meat produced in a more sustainable manner.
3) Retailers are responding by offering meat products with various attributes related to ethics, sustainability, and health in order to meet evolving consumer values around food.
This presentation provides a good insight on the emerging consumers trends and industry response to these trends globally.

The Facts; Busting the Grass-fed Beef MythsMark Moreno
Marketing claims that grass-fed beef is healthier or
more eco-friendly are a myth. Grain-fed and grassfed
beef are defined by production, marketing and
taste distinctions, not by nutritional or environmental
differences. The No. 1 reason consumers purchase beef
is taste. Grain-fed beef, like the Certified Angus Beef ®
brand, delivers the superior taste consumers desire.
Understanding the Different Kinds of Beef in the MarketplaceMark Moreno
The U.S. beef industry offers products that appeal to potential
customers. It accomplishes this through fresh beef identified
by different USDA quality grades (Prime, Choice and Select),
company brands and production methods (conventional, natural,
grass-finished and organic).
The taste, texture, tenderness and other properties of products
carrying these designations can vary, and marketers may
capitalize on the attributes that objectively describe their
products and their production methods. That’s the nature
of marketing.
It is important, though, that proponents of these types of
production methods not misrepresent their beef or beef from
animals raised conventionally. To claim conventional beef
is inferior because it contains minute additional quantities
of certain chemicals (e.g., hormones or pesticides), when the
amounts are insignificant and proven safe by science is not
appropriate. To say that grass-finished beef is superior because
it contains minute additional quantities of certain chemicals
(e.g., conjugated linoleic acid or vitamin E) when it is not
reasonably possible to eat enough to improve personal health,
also is not appropriate.
The U.S. beef industry has a wide variety of types of beef from
which consumers can choose, all of which are safe, wholesome
and nutritious. Conventional, natural, grass-finished and organic
beef are defined by production and marketing distinctions, not
by nutritional or safety differences.

In a nation known the world over for its livestock production and meatfilled
barbeques, millions of Australians are reducing their meat intake and
interest in plant-based alternatives is gaining considerable momentum.
Drawing on nationally representative market research conducted by
Colmar Brunton, this report serves to provide some key insights into
Australian consumers’ evolving relationship with meat. Whose choices
are changing and why, and what’s driving interest in plant-based meat
alternatives?
Read on to discover what really matters to Australians when they head
to the grocery store or sit down to a meal with friends and family.
There are nearly over one million beef farmers and ranchers throughout the United States. They often use the diverse local resources available to produce nutritious, safe and delicious beef. That means there are a variety of beef choices including grain-finished and grass-finished. No matter the choice, there is a delicious and nutritious beef option for you.

Consumer research shows that up to 40% of meat eaters are looking to reduce their meat consumption. Increasingly we hear consumers referencing sustainability as a driver of this. Companies, schools and restaurants are continually asking us for help in replacing meat on their menus.
In ‘The Future of Food’ review (pages 6-11) we highlight three global issues:
1. An unsustainable increase in demand for meat as populations grow in number and wealth.
2. Significant environmental impacts from the production of meat – at least 14% of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions coming from livestock1
3. Major health issues associated with over consumption of meat – heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes and obesity are now of serious concern in most developed economies.
This report provides a reminder of these issues and how Quorn can play a part in resolving the problems. In addition to the clear environmental benefits compared with animal-based protein, we also continue to seek to improve the sustainability of what we do. 2016 saw us invest in many initiatives which are highlighted in the report and we are continuing to do so in 2017.

How can we take into account health in our agriculture, nutrition, and gender research? Health and nutrition are closely interrelated: health status influences nutritional outcomes, by mediating a person’s ability to utilize nutrients and lead a healthy life, and nutritional status influences health, by mediating a person’s vulnerability to various illnesses. Both health and nutrition are directly and indirectly affected by rural livelihood decisions related to agriculture, livestock, and water management. Livelihood decisions and duties are gendered, in that social identity influences an individual’s options and choices. Men and women’s exposure to health risks, capacity to provide health care, and access to health services often vary due to these differing roles and rights.
This seminar provides three case studies in how gender dynamics in rural livelihoods influence health, and in turn, nutrition. Intended as an introduction to topics in gender, health, and agriculture, the seminar will help researchers familiar with the agriculture-to-nutrition pathways begin to think about how health has bearings on this framework.
In the seminar, Kelly Jones will present on recent research that traces how livelihood shocks may increase HIV transmission through higher-risk sex, especially for women. Elizabeth Bryan will share early-stage research on the links between small-scale irrigation adoption, gender, and health and nutrition outcomes. Delia Grace will introduce a gender-sensitive participatory risk assessment framework for addressing food safety.

Northcoast Lamb Co-op Presentation at OEFFA ConferenceLaura DeYoung
To meet demand for direct marketed lamb in the greater, The Northcoast Lamb Co-Op was created with the support of a Sustainable Agricultural Research Education (SARE) grant to implement value based lamb production criteria. The co-op will be using carcass scanning for acceptance of lamb to market (as well as for NSIP EBVs). The goal is to provide consistent, high quality lamb to local restaurants and groceries.
The co-op will be recruiting producers to participate in selling lamb locally. By implementing carcass scanning, this procedure should reduce the excess fat and inconsistent quality which can damage the quality of the brand. Local producers can take advantage of ultrasound technology to improve the overall quality of their flocks, making carcass scanning available and affordable to co-op producers. The outcome should be better meat quality and marketing, leading to profitability and competitiveness.

Food systems, food security and environmental changeIIED
This is a presentation given by Dr John Ingram of Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute (ECI) to a Critical Theme organised by the International Institute for Environment and Development on 12 February 2015.
Dr Ingram leads the Environmental Change Institute's Food Systems Research and Training Programme, which aims to increase understanding of the interactions between food security and environmental change. The programme's research products have been adopted by national and international organisations, including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the UK and Dutch governments.
In his presentation, Ingram looked at food system activities and 'planetary boundaries' – the safe operating space for humanity with respect to the earth's biophysical systems. If these planetary boundaries are crossed, then important subsystems, such as a monsoon system, could shift into a new state. Such shifts could have damaging consequences, including undermining the environmental conditions and the natural resource base on which our food security depends.
IIED hosts Critical Themes meetings to explore new ideas, introduce new research and broaden the knowledge of its staff.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
