We are developing an industrial system to produce protein meal for farmed animals based on housefly larvae fed on the by-products of the Food Industry.
This document discusses the negative impacts of the fashion and cosmetics industries on animal welfare and the environment. It notes that millions of animals are killed every year by the fur and leather industries for clothing production. Animals on fur farms live in cramped cages and are killed inhumanely. The document also discusses how animal testing of cosmetics causes harm, though some alternatives now exist. In addition, it outlines how meat and dairy production uses vast amounts of land, water and fossil fuels, contributing significantly to environmental issues like greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. Going vegan reduces these impacts on animals and the planet.
The document discusses how animal agriculture and the fashion industry harm animals and the environment. It notes that millions of animals are killed each year for fur, leather, cosmetics testing, and food, and are often treated cruelly. Alternatives exist for many animal products but are not widely used. Animal agriculture is also environmentally damaging due to greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and pollution from the leather tanning process. Going vegan could help reduce this harm to animals and the planet.
This document lists 101 reasons to go vegetarian across several categories including people, land, air, water, efficiency, animals, and health. Some key points made are that animal agriculture uses vast amounts of land, water and crops that could otherwise feed millions of people, releases greenhouse gases and pollutants, and causes immense suffering to animals. A vegetarian diet is more sustainable, uses fewer resources, and is better for human health by reducing risks of diseases like heart disease and cancer. Going vegetarian could significantly help address issues like world hunger, environmental destruction, and animal welfare.
Llivestock reared in the Caribbean RegionSLIDE TEACHER
Livestock are animals raised in agricultural settings to produce food, raw materials, and labor. Some common livestock reared in the Caribbean include pigs, which provide meat, bacon, and leather; sheep, which provide dairy products, leather, and meat; goats, which provide dairy, meat, wool, and leather; and cattle, which provide meat, beef, dairy, and leather. Horses and donkeys are also reared and used for labor and occasionally horses are used for meat.
Factory farms confine thousands of animals in crowded and unsanitary conditions, physically mutilate them without painkillers, and transport them long distances without food or water. The mass slaughter of animals in Canada's industrial agriculture system results in cruelty to animals and risks to human and environmental health from pollution and disease. Alternatives to factory farming are needed to end the inhumane treatment of farmed animals.
This document provides an overview of livestock animal production. It discusses how the domestication of plants and animals allowed humans to shift from hunting and gathering to agriculture around 500,000 years ago. This development was crucial for civilization as it provided humans with food, clothing, power for farming, and materials for shelter. The document then lists the various needs livestock animals fulfill for humans, including food, clothing, labor, and emotional well-being. It concludes by outlining some of the key inputs for livestock animal production such as animals, feed, health care, and waste management.
Farming and fishing have played important roles in human development and meeting basic needs over 500,000 years. Animals provide humans with food, clothing, labor and power, shelter, and emotional well-being. There are two main types of livestock farming - factory farming, where animals live indoors in close quarters, and free-range farming, where animals live outdoors but require more space. Coastal fishing harvests fish and shellfish near shore like sardines and mussels, while deep sea fishing uses large boats far from coasts to catch fish like hake, cod and swordfish.
The document discusses the cruelty involved in several animal product industries such as fashion, food, and dairy. In the fashion industry, animals are confined and killed for their fur, skin, and leather. Alternatives like faux fur and synthetic leather are available. In the food industry, billions of animals are slaughtered annually for their meat. However, protein and other nutrients can be obtained from plant-based sources. The dairy industry involves artificially impregnating cows and separating them from their calves to produce milk, with both cows and calves eventually being killed. Soymilk is presented as a cruelty-free alternative to dairy milk.

1) Livestock diversity is critical for resilient food systems and meeting the increasing global demand for animal source foods by 2050.
2) Investing in characterization and utilization of local livestock diversity in Africa can boost food security, incomes, and climate mitigation. It represents a huge economic opportunity for the continent.
3) Conservation of indigenous livestock breeds is important for sustainable improvement and adaptation to climate change, in line with SDG targets. Support is needed for research, national genebanks, and engaging local communities.
This document discusses animal farming practices in the UK and provides celebrity endorsements of veganism. It summarizes that 50% of laying hens in the UK are kept in cages, around 900 million chickens are slaughtered annually, and approximately 20 million ducks are slaughtered each year in the UK, some of which are force fed for foie gras. It also notes that 9.8 million pigs are slaughtered annually in the UK and between 2-6 million lambs die each year at birth or a few days old. The document quotes several celebrities including Miley Cyrus, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lopez, and Samuel Jackson praising the health and environmental benefits they have experienced from adopting a vegan diet.
- Chicken has become the most popular meat in rich countries, with consumption growing 70% since 1990 as it is cheap and versatile.
- Intensive breeding has produced much larger chickens that require less feed to raise. Today's broiler chickens weigh 4 times as much at 56 days old compared to chickens bred in the 1950s.
- While cheap chicken has benefited consumers, animal welfare groups are concerned that cost-cutting has negatively impacted chickens' living conditions and health. There is growing demand for higher welfare, free-range chicken in response.
A look into the future and how top foods in 2050 will look like. How it will affect the human world. Some of the most affected are mostly meats and vegetables which would mean famine on land.
This document discusses trends in global aquaculture and fish production. It notes that aquaculture has been the fastest growing form of meat production, increasing at 12.2% annually between 1990 and 2000. However, it also raises some concerns about aquaculture, including nutrient pollution, ecosystem disruption as aquaculture can spread invasive species, disease emergence, and reliance on inputs. The document suggests tapping into natural ecosystem services and avoiding an industrial factory farm model of aquaculture production.
Broiler chickens are chickens raised for meat production on broiler farms. Over 800 million broiler chickens are killed each year in the UK alone for their meat. Broiler chickens suffer in poor conditions, as evidenced by some being unable to stand on one leg by the time they are slaughtered.
Eating a vegan diet requires less land and resources than a diet that includes animal products. Currently, 30% of the earth's land is used for animal agriculture through grazing and raising animals, and 33% of global arable land is used to grow crops for animal feed. The large-scale production and storage of animal waste pollutes waterways and creates "dead zones" where few species can survive. Animal agriculture is also the largest contributor to habitat loss and species extinction as land is cleared for grazing and growing feed crops. Producing and transporting animal products requires significantly more energy than producing plant-based foods, resulting in higher greenhouse gas emissions.
The beef industry in Canada has undergone significant changes over the past few decades. Production increased 100% between 1961-2007 to meet rising demand. There are now fewer but larger farms, with most production concentrated on large feedlot operations. Approximately 80% of grain-fed cattle are finished in feedlots holding over 1,000 head. Profitability has declined in recent years due to higher input costs and lower prices. The industry may need to adopt new organizational and marketing strategies to remain competitive.
As on March 2015, several state governments in India have banned cattle slaughter without realizing future implications. To know more, browse through this presentation and share
The Canadian dairy industry has seen declines in the number of dairy farms and lactating cows over the past decade, though milk production per cow has increased. The average Canadian dairy farm now has 66-72 cows compared to over 100 cows on average in the US. While tie-stall barns were traditionally most common, there has been a shift toward free-stall barns for herds over 50 cows to improve cow welfare and reduce labor. Free-stall barns allow freedom of movement but require adequate space and resources to prevent injuries or competition among cows.
- The Peruvian anchoveta fishery supplies one-third of the world's fishmeal, with 80% of landings used for fishmeal production, generating $1.1 billion in revenue. However, 69% or $2.4 billion of the sector's revenue comes from fish for human consumption.
- Industrial livestock production relies on arable land and oceans for feed, and generates waste, routinely overuses antibiotics, and produces meat high in saturated fats. It requires more land and resources than producing plant foods for humans.
- A third of the world's food is wasted, equivalent to 28% of agricultural land and $750 billion annually. Britain bins over $2.4 billion worth of
The US egg industry underwent massive consolidation from the 1940s-1990s, with the average flock size increasing from 10,000 birds to over 500,000. Today, there are around 60 large companies with over 1 million layers each, accounting for 95% of US egg production. Most egg-laying hens are now confined in battery cages at high densities, though alternatives like cage-free and free-range systems are growing. Automation is also widespread in egg production facilities for functions like temperature control, feeding, and egg collection. Converting to alternative housing systems would cost the industry an estimated $7.5 billion.
This document discusses endangered animals around the world. It notes that several species have very small wild populations, such as the black rhinoceros with only 200 left and the mountain gorilla with only 150 pairs remaining free. It also mentions that many species are endangered due to hunting for skins and meat, and being captured for private collections and zoos. The document concludes that learning about endangered animals is important to help protect the over 5,000 species that are currently at risk of extinction.
CITES protects over 5,800 species of animals and 30,000 species of plants to prevent over-exploitation through international trade. Over-exploitation refers to harvesting resources at rates higher than populations can withstand, which can lead to resource destruction or extinction. Species are listed in CITES appendices according to threat level, with Appendix I being the most threatened and Appendix III the least. The document provides examples of species in each appendix category for mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrates, and plants.

The Power of Hierarchical Thinking - Ray Kurzweil - H+ Summit @ HarvardHumanity Plus
Ray Kurzweil
The Power of Hierarchical Thinking
What does it mean to understand the brain? Where are we on the roadmap to this goal? What are the effective routes to progress - detailed modeling, theoretical effort, improvement of imaging and computational technologies? What predictions can we make? What are the consequences of materialization of such predictions - social, ethical? Kurzweil will address these questions and examine some of the most common criticisms of the exponential growth of information technology including criticisms from hardware ("Moore's Law will not go on forever"), software ("software is stuck in the mud"), the brain ("the brain is too complicated to understand or replicate"), ontology ("software is not capable of thinking or of consciousness"), and promise versus peril ("biotechnology, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence are too dangerous").
There is now a grand project comprising at least a hundred thousand scientists and engineers working in diverse ways to understand the best example we have of an intelligent process: the human brain. It is arguably the most important project in the history of the human-machine civilization. The goal of the project is to understand precisely how the human brain works, and then to use these revealed algorithms as a basis for creating even more intelligent machines.
As we learn the algorithms underlying human intelligence, we will similarly be able to engineer it to vastly extend the powers of our intelligence. Indeed this process is already well under way. There are literally hundreds of tasks and activities that used to be the sole province of human intelligence that can now be conducted by computers usually with greater precision and vastly greater scale.
Was it inevitable that a species would evolve that is capable of creating its own evolutionary process in the form of intelligent technology? Kurzweil will argue that it was.
According to my models we are only two decades from fully modeling and simulating the human brain. By the time we finish this reverse-engineering project, we will have computers that are millions of times more powerful than the human brain. These computers will be further amplified by being networked into a vast world wide cloud of computing. The algorithms of intelligence will begin to self-iterate towards ever smarter algorithms.
This is how we will address the grand challenges of humanity such as maintaining a healthy environment, providing for the resources for a growing population including energy, food, and water, overcoming disease, vastly extending human longevity, and overcoming poverty. It is only by extending our intelligence with our intelligent technology that we can handle the scale of complexity to address these challenges.
Ray Kurzweil has been described as "the restless genius" by the Wall Street Journal, and "the ultimate thinking machine" by Forbes. Inc. magazine ranked him #8 among entrepreneurs in the United States, calling him the "rightful heir to Thomas Edison", and PBS included Ray as one of 16 "revolutionaries who made America", along with other inventors of the past two centuries.
As one of the leading inventors of our time, Ray was the principal developer of the first CCD flat-bed scanner, the first omni-font optical character recognition, the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind, the first text-to-speech synthesizer, the first music synthesizer capable of recreating the grand piano and other orchestral instruments, and the first commercially marketed large-vocabulary speech recognition. Ray's web site Kurzweil AI.net has over one million readers.
Among Ray's many honors, he is the recipient of the $500,000 MIT-Lemelson Prize, the world's largest for innovation. In 1999, he received the National Medal of Technology, the nation's highest honor in technology, from President Clinton in a White House ceremony. And in 2002, he was inducted into the National Inventor's
The document discusses predictions for the world in 2050 based on 20 essays covering topics like population, social revolution, technology, and corporations. Some key points include: the world's population is expected to be older and more urban, with half of growth in Africa; innovation will be key to determining if the future results in doom or boom; and China may overtake the US as the world's largest economy as early as 2018. Black swan events and other surprises could alter expectations.
This document provides information on several notable Muslim scientists throughout history and their contributions to various fields including mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry, medicine, and engineering.

As India's leading retailer, Big Bazaar operates over 12 million square feet of retail space across over 1000 stores in 71 cities. It employs over 35,000 people. The company's goal is to blend aspects of traditional Indian bazaars with modern retail approaches like choice, convenience and quality.
El documento describe el calentamiento global y cambio climático, explicando que la temperatura promedio de la Tierra ha aumentado debido a las emisiones humanas de gases de efecto invernadero. Menciona que los científicos están más del 95% seguros de que las actividades humanas son la causa principal del calentamiento actual. También señala que los efectos del cambio climático incluyen el aumento del nivel del mar, cambios en los patrones de precipitación y eventos climáticos extremos más frecuentes.
Este documento describe los diferentes tipos de clima y vegetación en España. Presenta el clima oceánico en el noroeste, caracterizado por temperaturas suaves y abundantes precipitaciones todo el año, lo que permite una vegetación verde y frondosa. También describe el clima continental en el interior norte, con inviernos fríos, veranos cálidos y poca lluvia, dando lugar a una vegetación más escasa. Finalmente, presenta el clima mediterráneo en el sur, con veranos calurosos y sequía, donde predomina
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
KLC has devised Shuttle maths program that has evolved from the ABC concept of learning.This helps us identify what best works for a student and device a methodology for him.
Fibromyalgia 2016 is an international conference on fibromyalgia and chronic pain that will take place August 22-23, 2016 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The conference will include presentations by renowned scientists from around the world on advances in chronic pain medication and treatment. Accepted abstracts will be published in OMICS Group journals focused on fibromyalgia, pain relief, arthritis, emergency mental health and alternative medicine. Participation provides an opportunity to network globally and exchange ideas to further progress in the field.
The document summarizes four types of plants: gymnosperms, angiosperms, ferns, and mosses. Gymnosperms reproduce through cones and do not produce fruit, while angiosperms reproduce through flowering and fruit-bearing plants like roses and berries. Ferns have roots, stems, and large frond-like leaves and have existed for over 300 million years. Mosses have simple stems and leaves and reproduce via spores inside capsules.

This document discusses object-based programming concepts like instantiating objects, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and garbage collection. It provides examples of implementing a class with properties, constructors, and access modifiers. Key points covered include defining classes with methods and members, creating objects from classes, allowing subclasses to inherit features, and allowing objects to take different forms through polymorphism techniques like overriding and overloading.
El documento habla sobre los elementos del clima, incluyendo la temperatura, presión atmosférica, humedad del aire, viento, precipitaciones, latitud, altitud, influencia del mar y relieve. Explica que la temperatura depende de factores como la radiación solar directa, latitud y altitud sobre el nivel del mar. También describe cómo la humedad del aire depende de la temperatura y se mide con un higrómetro, y que el viento se mide con un anemómetro y su dirección con una veleta.
The scene opens with credits to draw in viewers interested in the director or actors. Mood-setting music plays before the bar setting and characters are shown to hint at the location. The dimly lit bar setting in America establishes a romantic mood through its association with romance. The mature dialogue and bar setting indicate the film will be a romance/action genre for a mature audience, with dialogue showing the main character as a lonely geek searching for a girl.

Livestock farming, raising of animals for use or for pleasure. Livestock farming is the rearing of animals for food and for other human uses. The word 'Livestock' applies primarily to cattle or dairy cows, chickens, goats, pigs, horses and sheep. Today, even animals like donkeys, mules, rabbits and insects such as bees are being raised as part of livestock farming.
Present-day livestock farming is very well planned - animals are provided with food and shelter and bred selectively. As regards shelter, animals are usually kept in enclosures. Pigs and poultry are reared intensively in indoor environments. However, indoor animal farming has often been criticized for multiple reasons - on grounds of pollution and for animal welfare reasons. Outdoor farming of livestock stands for rearing animals in bigger enclosures like ranches and fenced pastures.

Livestock production systems can be extensive, semi-intensive, intensive, or mixed. Extensive systems require large land areas for grazing and have low feeding costs but are not suitable for high-yielding animals. Semi-intensive systems incorporate some grazing and confinement with lower feed costs than intensive systems. Intensive systems involve total confinement and feeding but have higher risks of health issues without proper management. Mixed farming maintains one or more livestock along with crops, making better use of farm outputs and unconventional feeds to recycle manure and nutrients and provide continuous income.
Millibeter breeds black soldier fly larvae that can be used to convert organic waste into valuable products like proteins, lipids, and chitin. The larvae are fed organic waste and then processed to extract these components. Millibeter is building an Insect Bioconversion Reactor facility to produce these products at scale for use as sustainable aquaculture and animal feeds. The process and products comply with all relevant EU regulations.
Our goal is the development and installation of modular semi-automated mushroom production modules that will ensure the production of quality mushrooms by anyone across the various socio-economic strata thereby providing an innovative sustainable farming solution to poverty eradication in Africas rural areas and the water poor Middle East.
With a rising world population and declining soil fertility, we could soon be facing a very real food crisis. There are alternatives to the current industrial food system - here's a few to ponder.

A presentation from Paul Olivier about closed-loop farming techniques for sustainability.
The 4 levels of waste transformation keeps the nutrient content as high as possible in the organic waste transformation.
1. Biomass refers to organic material from plants and includes plant matter, animal waste, and organic industrial and municipal wastes.
2. Major sources of biomass include woody biomass from forests, herbaceous biomass like grasses and energy crops, aquatic plants and algae, agricultural residues, animal waste, sewage, municipal solid waste, and industrial waste.
3. Pakistan has significant biomass resources including agricultural residues, animal manure, municipal solid waste, and sugarcane waste that can be used for biogas and electricity generation.
This document summarizes a startup company called InsectBiotech Group that is turning food waste in Spain into sustainable animal feed and fertilizer products using black soldier fly larvae. The startup is raising 1.5 million euros to build a pilot facility and hire employees to operate it. The funding will allow the company to lay the foundations to eventually produce 150,000 metric tons of insect larvae per year and reduce agricultural waste.
The document discusses the global consequences of livestock production and meat consumption. It addresses the major impacts on the environment (including climate change), world nutrition and hunger, animal welfare, and human health. Regarding the environment, livestock accounts for 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions and is a key driver of deforestation, water pollution from manure, and inefficient use of land and resources. Around a third of global grain harvest is used for livestock feed rather than direct human consumption. Alternatives to animal products that could help address these issues are also presented.
1. Vermiculture, or worm farming, is an important part of developing a circular economy and macro-agriculture system in China. Earthworms can process large amounts of organic waste into premium organic fertilizer, improving soil quality and the environment.
2. As intensive livestock and aquaculture have increased in China, there is a need to properly treat the large volumes of manure and waste these industries produce. Vermiculture can play a key role in stabilizing sludge from wastewater treatment plants and recycling organic wastes.
3. While vermiculture was an established industry in parts of the Western world by the 1990s, processing tens of thousands of tons of waste per week,

This document provides a review of aquaculture feed for finfish farming. It begins with an introduction to the rapid growth of the aquaculture industry and finfish farming. It then discusses the three main types of finfish farming systems - extensive, semi-intensive, and intensive - and notes that intensive systems which require an external diet are dominated by carnivorous fish like salmon. The majority of global finfish production comes from extensive and semi-intensive freshwater carp farming in Asia. The document goes on to examine the current use of fishmeal and fish oil in aquaculture feeds and alternatives that could allow the industry to continue growing with limited wild fish resources.
The document proposes the creation of an agro-ecological farm and animal feed factory called "El Turpial" to address problems in their community such as deforestation, lack of basic services, threatened animals, garbage disposal issues, and lack of balanced animal feed. The farm will implement solutions like reforestation, clean energy production, habitat protection, waste recycling, and creating an animal feed factory. The factory will produce customized balanced feed for different animal needs in an innovative circular economy model. The proposal outlines the business model, goals, team, needs, and risks to establish this community-focused project.
Heritage Conservation.Strategies and Options for Preserving India HeritageJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Presentation looks at the role , relevance and importance of built and natural heritage, issues faced by heritage in the Indian context and options which can be leveraged to preserve and conserve the heritage.It also lists the challenges faced by the heritage due to rapid urbanisation, land speculation and commercialisation in the urban areas. In addition, ppt lays down the roadmap for the preservation, conservation and making value addition to the available heritage by making it integral part of the planning , designing and management of the human settlements.
3. the 9 billion people expected to crowd the world by 2050.
...we always refer to the challenge of feeding
4. Only few are aware of the 100 billion chickens...
5. ...and 160 billion farmed fishes
which will be needed to be fed annually to meet the challenge
6. Current feed solutions heavily impact precious land and ocean resources
1/3 of cropland1/4 of the annual fish catch
which could be better earmarked for human nutrition.
14. inside a network of compact, automated, efficient biofactories...
We plan to organize the job of millions of flies
15. by-products fly eggs maggots
...where the fly larvae (maggots) grow on a nutritious substrate made out of by
products like potato peel, defective fruit, scraps of vegetable processing, etc.
16. by-products fly eggs maggots
protein meal
fertilizerThe maggots are then harvested, dried and milled into protein meal.
The remaining digested substrate is an excellent natural fertilizer.
17. Each bio factory will be installed, close (<20km) to where the organic by-products are available
in order to reduce transportation costs and environmental impact.
18. Our biofactories will be spread all over Europe based on a principle of distributed manufacturing.
19. The meal will be sold to the producers of compound feeds...
20. ...who will include it in their formulations (inclusion ranges from 10% to 30%)
as a high quality protein complement.
10-30%
22. In 2 years we will develop a plant with a
production capacity of 3 tons per day...
23. 3500 tons 1050 tons 2200 tons
by-product processed protein meal natural fertilizer
...and an annual yield which is significant for this kind of market
24. 2.600.000 tons/year
The potential demand for insectmeal in Europe today,
only considering fish and poultry, is about 2.6 million tons per year.
