Valuing Our Food: Minimizing Waste and Optimizing Resources - The Scope of th...Steven M. Finn
This presentation addresses the scope and significance of the problem of global food waste - noting that a serious disconnect exists which allows nearly one billion people to go hungry while the world wastes one to two billion tons of food annually. Our values regarding food are well out of balance, and a global food system which creates such vast amounts of waste is in many ways dysfunctional. Industrialized nations display a “culture of abundance” which leads to massive amounts of food waste while the social, economic, and environmental costs of that waste get little mainstream attention. The current state of waste, pollution, and hunger is unsustainable. This presentation notes the importance of valuing our food and optimizing resource usage to prepare the world to handle nine billion people by 2050. While the nine billion by 2050 problem is a daunting challenge, it should also be viewed as a critical opportunity to unite the world with shared purpose to eradicate hunger, minimize environmental impact, and enhance global security through a collaborative global network driven by expertise and urgency. To facilitate this transition, the overall opportunity can be viewed – and addressed – as a series of linked opportunities. This is a journey the world must embrace – we have little choice but to rapidly adopt sustainability principles across the globe which involve minimizing food waste and optimizing resource use if we are to successfully support nine billion people by 2050.

Increasing Ghana’s aquaculture production: The way forwardPremier Publishers
It is estimated that 800 million people predominantly living in developing worlds are food insecure. There are millions of people who hover near starvation even though there are a lot in the world. There has been a decline of food availability per capita in the Sub-Saharan Africa by approximately 3% (FAO in 2002). This is possibly as a result of the recent interlinked food, fuel and financial crises. According to report by FAO in 2009, world population is growing at a rate of 1.4% per year, which means that by 2050 there will be 9.1 billion people in the world. This translates into greatly increased requirements for animal protein for human consumption.

How can animal source foods contribute to nutrition?ILRI
Presented by Jennie Lane (Land O’Lakes International Development) at the Land O’Lakes/ILRI Animal Source Foods for Nutrition Impact Workshop, Nairobi, 4 May 2017
This program investigates the impact of food waste on the people and environment in which we live. Reducing food waste has been an emerging topic of discussion in the world because of its great potential to reduce the burden on the environment, save valuable nutrients that could be nourishing people and save money. This lesson focuses on practical and realistic approaches to reduce food waste at the household level.

We now have realised how important biodiversity is and have been limiting Sydney’s urban growth patterns.
AmpleHarvest.org Overview for prospective supportersAmpleHarvest.org
The Idea
While more than 50 million Americans live in food insecure homes (including a quarter of all children under the age of six), more than 40 million Americans grow fruit, vegetables herbs and nuts in home gardens - often more than they can use, preserve or give to friends.
It doesn't have to be that way.
The Opportunity
Struggling to feed their families, many Americans, both those chronically economically challenged as well as those now impacted by the economic downturn have come to rely on the more than 33,500 food pantries (also called food shelves, food closets, food cupboards or food banks in some areas) across America to help feed their families.
These food pantries, relying on donated and purchased foods, almost never have fresh produce and instead rely on canned or processed produce shipped from across the country at significant cost, both economic and environmental.
At the same time, millions of home and community gardeners nationwide with an abundant harvest do not know that they can share their harvest, do not know how to share their harvest and do not know where to share their harvest. AmpleHarvest.org solves that for them.
The Vision
AmpleHarvest.org envisions an America where millions of gardeners eliminate malnutrition and hunger in their own community.
The Mission
AmpleHarvest.org, moving information instead of food to diminish hunger and malnutrition in America, is educating, encouraging and empowering growers to share their excess harvest with the needy in their community instead of letting it rot in the garden.
The Goal
Our "No Food Left Behind" goal is a healthier and by extension, wealthier America.

It costs $1 a day to feed a child a salad & 35 cents to feed a child pizza. What do you think schools feed our children?
The CoCo San Sustainable Farm in Martinez, CA is a project of the Earth Island institute, a non-profit environmental incubator in Berkeley.
It costs $1 a day to feed a child a salad. Schools can not afford that. The food bank can not get salad vegetables because they are highly perishable and unavailable locally. We will be providing some free and some reduced-price produce to schools and the food bank by growing produce at a very low cost.
We will grow produce on 33 acres of unused Central Contra Costa Sanitary District buffer land, using recycled agricultural-grade water, which is otherwise discharged into the Bay. This recycled water is high in organic nitrogen, providing free fertilizer.
The Food Bank is a mile from the farm and will pick up the produce and use existing systems to distribute it to schools and clients.
Hence, we are deploying under-utilized resources to nearly eliminate 4 of the major costs of food production: LAND, WATER, FERTILIZER, and TRANSPORTATION.
Our business model is to generate revenue by selling 75% of the crops; renting community garden plots with classes; selling advertizing at the farm and on our website; and charging a fee for special services and events. Because we are a non-profit, we will also generate income from donations and grants. We will be sharing net revenues with Central San, financially benefiting rate-payers.
One of the goals of the farm is to educate. Every aspect of science touches a farm such as physics, soil science, hydrology, meteorology, and nutrition. We are working with State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Teacher of the Year, the Community College Board, and an expert who created internships for NASA to integrate the farm into school curricula.
The farm will be an incubator for green jobs. We will partner with other sustainable businesses to showcase their products and teach aspects of jobs related to these industries.
The environment will also benefit. Plants sequester carbon and clean the air. We reduce the major types of carbon pollution associated with food production: FOSSIL FUEL- BASED FERTILIZER and TRANSPORT. We will also rebuild barren soil and increase ground water, benefiting two adjacent creeks.
Sanitary districts all over the world have unused buffer land and throw away recycled water. Sanitary districts in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties discharge about 200 million gallons of water into the Bay on a dry day and 1 billion gallons of water on a rainy day.
Our business model is scalable and once proven, other sanitary districts can emulate to not waste this precious resource.
The farm will produce a Win-Win-Win for public health, education, the environment, the economy, and rate-payers.
An apple a day will not keep the doctor away. But a salad a day might!

Valuing our food and water resources steven m. finn - june 2014Steven M. Finn
A presentation linking three intertwined topics - food security, water security, and food recovery - with a focus on the need to change behavior and give the proper value to our food and water resources in order to successfully feed 9 billion by 2050. Doing so requires minimizing food and water waste while viewing 9Bx2050 not only as a challenge, but as an opportunity to advance critical sustainability initiatives globally.

Cover Crops, compost, and no-till. A formula for good soil healthReinbottt
My mother in law had a garden in the same place for over 50 years. However, she always said that her first garden was her best. Why? This presentation answers that question by focusing on what happened to her soil over those 50 years and what could have prevented the degradation.
This presentation asks the question if Dr. Albrecht premise that a balanced soil was best. A portion of this presentation gives the results of a study that was conducted to determine if Dr. Albrecht was correct by breaking down his recommendations. The remaining part shows what might be happening as a result to soil health.
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.

An estimated 40% of all food produced in the country is discarded, according to a new federal report. Each day, every person in the U.S. puts about 1,400 calories
worth of food in the garbage, according to researchers at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Food waste has increased
50% since previous estimates were made in 1974, and now totals some 150 trillion calories per year. SOURCE: CALIFORNIA EMERGENCY FOODLINK
The University of Missouri Animal
Sciences and Veterinary Medicine
produce 1500 tons of manure and
bedding material each year. MU’s
Campus Dining produces 270 tons
of food waste annually.
MU’s Campus Dining halls
generate 3,000+ gallons of
Waste Vegetable Oil
annually. This WVO will be
converted into biodiesel.
Several large-scale composting
methods exist. These include:
Windrow, Aerated Windrow, Aerated
Static Pile, In-Vessel, Containerized
In-Vessel, Rotating Drum and Bag
Systems. Variables include: cost,
compost consistency, time, labor and
area requirements.
Biodiesel will power the trucks, tractors & equipment used for
vegetable production as well as pick-up and delivery of food
waist and produce to and from campus. Carbon Credits will be
used to off-set any other energy needs for this project.
BREC can serve as a model for similar institutions by providing a
working example for alternative waste management. Food waste from
Campus Dining will be collected and taken to BREC, mixed with animal
manures and beddings as needed to balance any nitrogen or carbon
requirements, and composted to create the optimum soil amendment
to be used to grow produce that will then be sold back to Campus
Dining completing the circle. In addition to the compost utilized by
horticultural researchers and students to grow vegetables, excess
compost can be applied to larger fields such as sweet corn, pumpkins,
melons and other crops, as well as be used as a soil amendment by
MU’s Landscape Services and the Mizzou Botanical Garden.
There is a growing interest in locally produced food by the general
public and in our school systems. This proposed system is the
essence of Community Development, and can serve as a model of
how food waste from any type of cafeteria (school, business,
institutional) can be utilized to produce a valuable commodity. Similar
systems could be used to provide schools with a healthy source of
locally grown food, and provide vegetable producers with a creative
way to convert so called waste materials into assets to sell at local
farmers markets and to the general public. The cost/benefits realized
from not sending materials to the landfill could be substantial.
