Impact of globalization on water and food securityClaudia Ringler
This document discusses how globalization is impacting water and food security. It provides statistics showing increasing global demand for food and water, driven partly by population growth and dietary changes. Trade in agricultural goods allows "virtual water" transfers between countries. While globalization and trade have helped increase global food availability and reduce prices, their impacts on water security and poverty reduction are less clear. Trade liberalization could provide economic benefits but also risks for some countries. Overall, the document examines the complex relationships between globalization, trade, water resources and food security issues.
Synergies Between Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change:What is the pot...Claudia Ringler
This presentation describes first how climate change compromises food security and then explains the role of agriculture in greenhouse gas emissions. The crux is what
synergies exist between adaptation and mitigation, with recommendations for implementation.
This document discusses strategies for increasing agricultural productivity, climate change adaptation, and greenhouse gas mitigation in Kenyan agriculture. It finds that many land management practices can provide "triple wins" by increasing yields and profits, reducing production variability to help farmers adapt to climate change, and increasing carbon sequestration in soils to mitigate climate change. Modeling of practices like improved residues, fertilizer use, fallow rotations, water harvesting, and livestock feeding show increases in soil organic carbon levels and maize yields. Integrated packages of practices generally improve profits the most. However, some arid area strategies have costs that outweigh benefits. Maintaining 75% of residues can sequester more carbon but is less profitable than removing 50%
The document discusses LexisNexis teaching tools that can help law professors enhance their teaching. It describes self-paced learning tools for professors, including webinars and instructional videos. It also discusses classroom resources professors can use, such as interactive tutorials and PDF reference literature. Finally, it outlines how professors can easily access primary law and analytical sources through LexisNexis to support their research, scholarship, and teaching.

Social bookmarking allows users to save websites and share them with others. It provides benefits like accessing bookmarks from any computer, seeing how popular sites are by their number of bookmarks, organizing bookmarks into categories, collaborating on projects with other schools, and networking with educators worldwide. Social bookmarking saves time by showing which sites are trustworthy based on how many times they have been bookmarked. Different social bookmarking sites exist for different needs like bookmarking images, scholar sites, or connecting with teachers. Social bookmarking is considered one of the most interesting new technologies as it mimics Google functionality while saving research time and allowing information sharing.
Access to water and food under growing scarcityClaudia Ringler
1. Growing water scarcity poses major challenges to ensuring sufficient access to water for global food production due to increasing competition between agriculture, industry, and domestic uses.
2. Key issues include overexploitation of groundwater, declining water quality, and threats to water availability and food security from climate change impacts.
3. Improved water management policies and investments in irrigation efficiency, agriculture technology, and complementary rural development are needed to help offset the effects of water scarcity on food production.
This document discusses the production of landscapes and environments in California's East Bay and how they have shaped social relations. It describes how some white communities like Moraga have distanced themselves from industrial pollution and non-white populations through policies that promoted segregation and the creation of idyllic, natural landscapes. Meanwhile, places like Oakland have borne the environmental degradation. The document argues that political ecology aims to understand how human factors and social relations influence the environment and nature, and how produced landscapes then feedback to shape those social relations.

This document is about an animal workshop for young children in early childhood education. The workshop will allow children to learn about different animals, their characteristics and habitats. Children will participate in activities related to farm animals and pets to explore the animal world in an interactive and fun way.
