The document summarizes several community education programs in 2010, including the Green Youth Farm Program which engaged 65 high school students across four sites growing produce. The Windy City Harvest program trained 15 adult students who harvested 14,000 lbs of produce. The Cook County Boot Camp program trained and employed ex-offenders to grow and harvest 5,000 lbs of produce. A native seed garden project received $150,000 to propagate rare native seeds. The programs involved various partners including government agencies, non-profits, and educational institutions.

Food loss and waste is a global social, economic and environmental issue. Whether you tend to fill your plate with more food than you need or pick only the perfectly shaped vegetable from the pile, you can make a big difference by changing your food habits a little.

CSAs and Organic Food
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a program in which many farms offer subscriptions.
Under this program, subscribers receive a weekly or monthly basket of locally grown, in-season fruits, vegetables, flowers, eggs, and milk; sometimes other products like coffee or tea are included as well.
Most of the products in the baskets are products that are produced on the farm, but they don't have to be. Under a CSA program, there is a relationship developed between the farm and the member's (shareholder's or subscriber's - several terms are used).
Not all of the farms in the CSA program are organic farms, although many are.
By making a financial commitment to a farm in a CSA program, people become "members" (or "shareholders," or "subscribers") of the CSA. The membership entitles them to receive produce from the farm on a regular basis through the growing season.
Usually memberships are paid for annually, but some farmers will accept weekly or monthly payments, and some CSAs also require that members work a few hours on the farm each week during the growing season.
Regulations and requirements vary from farm to farm.
The Community Supported Agriculture program is not one that has been well advertised nationally.
You might see some advertisements for locally owned farms that are part of the program and you will have to determine which farms are organic and which are not.
This is, however, a method that those who want fresh, organically grown fruit and vegetables that can be purchased locally.
More and more of the farms that are in the Community Supported Agriculture program are organic farms.
There's still a long way to go, but organic farming is on the increase along with the demand for organically produced food.

What is farm to school? Why should you do farm to school? How can you start a farm to school program? Where can you turn for more farm to school resources?
CoCo San Sustainable Farm is a non-profit urban farm project on sanitary district buffer land, using recycled water and sustainable farming practices that reduce GHG emissions and increase carbon sequestration in soil. This project focuses on reducing nutritional poverty. It's four goals are: Food Equity; Environment; Education; and Economic Development.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
