The escalating food demand by a growing and increasingly affluent global population is placing unprecedented pressure on the limited land and water resources of the planet, underpinning concerns over global food security and its sensitivity to shocks arising from environmental fluctuations, trade policies and market volatility. I will present a theoretical framework for studying
the sustainability and stability of the coupled population-food/water system. I will conclude by presenting a game-theoretical approach to estimate time-scales of the collapse in interconnected systems undergoing unsustainable growth.
Is DIVERSITY necessary for human society?
My challenge is to numerize and visualize the DIVERSITY of the city.

1. The document discusses the main challenges facing the global meat production system over the next 20 years. It notes that while food production has generally kept pace with population growth, issues around food distribution, hunger, and environmental sustainability remain.
2. Key trends that will shape the meat industry include population and economic growth, urbanization, constraints on land and water resources, and increasing demands for health, food safety, and animal welfare. Global meat production, especially of poultry and pork, will need to increase substantially to meet these demands.
3. Major meat importing and exporting countries are identified. Brazil is projected to be the largest meat exporter by 2019 due to strong growth in beef, poultry, and pork

Dr. Thomas Lumpkin, the Director General of CIMMYT, presented on the MAIZE CRP and its relevance for Asia. CIMMYT aims to sustainably increase the productivity of maize and wheat systems to ensure global food security and reduce poverty. It has 160 researchers from 40 countries working in 19 offices worldwide. CIMMYT has developed a ten point action agenda to address challenges like climate change, water scarcity, and increasing food demand. The MAIZE CRP expects to increase productivity by 7% by 2020 and 33% by 2030, adding $2 billion and $8.8 billion in annual value respectively, while reaching millions of smallholder farmers.
This document discusses pathways toward a sustainable future. It outlines several megatrends such as rising populations, increasing life expectancy, and shifting global economic power. Issues covered include resource constraints, climate change, water scarcity, and environmental degradation. A vision for 2050 aims to double agricultural output and freshwater supply while halving carbon emissions. Realizing this will require widespread adoption of sustainability best practices and technologies through collaboration between business, governments, and society. Self-organization and global connectivity may help proliferate affordable transformations toward a more sustainable world.

Bo agriculture restructuring (ciat meeting 20-feb2014-hn)CIAT
Vietnam's agriculture sector faces both opportunities and challenges when compared to other ASEAN countries. While Vietnam has a large agricultural workforce and land area devoted to agriculture, its agricultural productivity and GDP per capita from agriculture are relatively low. Climate change also poses a serious threat through impacts like sea level rise, increased temperatures, and more frequent extreme weather events. To address these issues, Vietnam's priorities include improving food security and safety, developing human resources, protecting the environment, and restructuring agricultural production towards higher-value and more processed crops and livestock. The government has set targets for stronger agricultural growth, higher farmer incomes, and reduced poverty and GHG emissions by 2020.

Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).
