This month in our ongoing FringeStream series, our monthly magazine exploring how the fringes of culture are shaping mass behaviors, we're digging into the a topic that tempts us all: FOOD. In gaining an understanding of FringeStream Food, we've unearthed some interesting findings that recognize how the simultaneous celebration of food culture and turmoil of traditional food systems have led to mainstream confusion over what to eat. Find out how empowered groups are moving beyond our over reliance on over-processed convenience food to create new opportunities and an increasing Appetite for Conviction.
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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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).

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.

Mankind’s Relationship with Food: Past,
Present and Future
What did the “earliest humans” eat two million years ago? How has their diet
evolved? What is it composed of today? What can we expect for tomorrow?
After the monographs about children and television, the tyranny of dieting in 2010
and appetite control and disorders in 2011, the Louis Bonduelle Foundation is
continuing its exploration into eating habits. This new monograph, based on
papers by Pascal Picq (paleoanthropologist at the Collège de France), Martine
Padilla (Director of Research in Food Economics) and Serge Hercberg (Director of
Research with the Inserm, Professor of Nutrition and Coordinator of the NutriNet
Santé survey), presented at the Louis Bonduelle Foundation Conference last May
gives an overview of how food habits have evolved over the centuries.

2. The origins of the human diet
Hominids, the ancestors of the “Early Humans” fed on fruit, leaves, insects and meat. Made up
of different food types, this fructivorous/omnivorous diet, rare in mammals, came from the line
of descent of the apes of the Old World. However, it is not easy to have a varied diet, and it
requires cognitive capacities as well as cultural and technical knowledge. It was by following
the example of others that Hominids selected the right foods. Primitive tools enabled them to
have access to food with a high nutritional value such as nuts, pulses with hard pods, roots
and meat which they cut with their sharp tools.
Early humans of the Homo genus, who emerged around two million years ago, conquered
new regions and left Africa thanks to… their diet. Since they found an efficient way to procure
meat (a foodstuff available in any season and at any latitude) they no longer had to stay in
the tropical forests. What’s more, harnessing fire and mastering the art of cooking vegetables
(rather than meat, as is wrongly believed) led to the transformation of their bodies, especially
the increase in the size of their brains.
A leap in time: in a dozen parts of the world, at roughly the same time (10,000 BC), Homo
Sapiens began to settle and to cultivate plants and vegetables. The diversity of their diet was
reduced, resulting in vast natural selection. The only survivors were people capable of
digesting certain foodstuffs. And the species evolved: skeletons became less robust, and the
size of bodies and brains decreased.
Today’s Food
The Industrial Revolution in the mid 19th century radically transformed our diet and how we
eat. In less than two hundred years we saw the emergence of:
− Industrial food production. Food has become increasingly distanced from the
raw product, and is now “ready-to-eat” and high in sugar, fats, salt and preservatives
and contains less and less fibre. It is estimated that consumption of processed food has
multiplied three-or fourfold in France over the last twenty years.
− Changes in how we eat. Despite the fact that throughout the history of
mankind, meals have represented a moment of sharing and conviviality, eating has
now become far more individual and less ritualised, a phenomenon described as the
de-structuring of meals.
− A change in food habits. Certain foods such as bread and pulses have fallen
out of favour, replaced by red meat which is considered more noble. In 1900, daily
consumption of bread stood at 900 grammes per person compared with 110.5
grammes in 2010.
Our perception of food is also changing. Until recently, we ate for pleasure, but now food is
linked to aesthetic concerns and health preoccupations.
The Food of the Future
A decline in hyperconsumption, a return to raw products and cooking, more responsible
food for pleasure and conviviality and the desire to limit the environmental impact are the
trends that have been taking shape over the last few years.
What should we expect in the future? Will the return to local produce continue or will
3. globalisation get the upper hand again? No-one can say for sure, but experts envisage
various possible scenarios, one of which involves the problem of sustainable development
and responsible eating which seems to be more than just a passing fad. Nevertheless, we
should be wary of counter-intuitive realities! For example, while it is good for the
environment to eat local, in-season products, the same cannot be said for local products
that are not in season. The environmental impact of greenhouse production and the
fertilisers required is greater than the impact of transporting imported fruit and vegetables
that are in season in the place that they are grown.
But will we be able to feed tomorrow’s world? According to various analyses, the food
demand in calories could increase from 40% to 68% between 2000 and 2050. This is a
significant increase, but agronomists assure us that the Earth can feed a great many
mouths.
The fundamental question remains: how can we guarantee a fair distribution of high
quality food? By putting humanity back into tomorrow’s food.
The importance of nutritional epidemiology
Our relationship with food has changed drastically over the last fifty years and
developing countries are now faced with a genuine epidemic of illnesses such as
obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Over recent decades, nutritional
epidemiology has shed light on the links between the incidence of these pathologies
and diet. In France, the NutriNet-Santé study, which began in 2009 and aims to
involve 300,000 people, will enable us to create a gigantic database – one of the
largest in the world in the health sector – about the nutrition and health of the French
population. By means of participant follow-ups over a long period (ten years), the
study will allow for a precise examination of the relationship between food intake and
mortality and the incidence of major pathologies.
4. About the Louis-Bonduelle Foundation
Set up in October 2004, the aim of the Louis-Bonduelle Foundation
is to help to bring about a long-term change in eating habits by
putting the benefits of vegetables at the heart of its work.
The Louis Bonduelle Foundation has set itself this task, in an
international context, declaring its goal to go further than mere speechifying by giving
everyone effective, practical and often original ways of introducing vegetables into their
day-to-day lives.
Its programme is based on three main areas:
- Informing and raising awareness
- Supporting research
- Working “on the ground”.
“At the Louis-Bonduelle Foundation, we believe that, as well as providing everyone with
information, we have to provide support for people to change their eating habits”
Christophe Bonduelle, Chairman of the Louis-Bonduelle Foundation.
