Planet Aid and Humana People to People work with USDA's Food for Progress program to combat hunger in Mozambique and Malawi through farmer training, education programs, and HIV/AIDS assistance. In Mozambique, the program has trained over 900 teachers and 180 teacher trainers, constructed a university, and provided free soy meals to 5,000 people through 50 soy canteens. In Malawi, the program supports 11,500 farmers through 230 farmer clubs and has provided HIV/AIDS assistance to 400,000 people. Surveys found the soy canteens in Mozambique improved adults' BMI and strength and reduced malnutrition in children.
Biodiversity for Food and Nutrition in BrazilTeresa Borelli
Why does Brazil think that agricultural biodiversity matters and how the country is mainstreaming biodiversity for food and nutrition into policies and programs tackling food security
Presentation of BFN activities to SADC countries - Feb 2015Teresa Borelli
The presentations was delivered to a meeting of SADC countries showing how traditional crops can provide useful food alternatives when nutrition and food security is poor and when climate events can cause other crops to fail.
Home-grown: Linking farmers to markets in Western KenyaTeresa Borelli
BFN Kenya describes its success in linking smallholder farmers to institutional markets in Western Kenya and in promoting African Leafy Vegetables for improved food and nutrition outcomes
Biodiversity in the shopping basket: policies to sustain a biodiverse dietTeresa Borelli
Enabling policy and market environment are needed for diverse nutritious foods to make their way back into consumer shopping baskets. Examples of success include efforts in India to create markets for nutritious but ‘forgotten’ minor millets, and Brazil’s innovative school feeding programme which demands that 30% of procurement comes from local family farmers.

Proposal for sustainable food system to benefit under nourished school childr...Susan Evans
GoodtoChina is a social enterprise that designs solutions for social innovation and sustainability that encourage a paradigm shift from non-sustainable behavior towards sustainable and healthy behavior. We tackle urban challenges by creating opportunities for change through the development of contemporary systems and environments and by providing tools and education to influence a change in people behavior: as a consequence of these interventions we help to propel new opportunities for social and environmental reform and economic revenue through changes in demand and supply to traditional systems.
Each strategy and design solution addresses the 3 pillars of sustainability, namely, social, environmental and economic.
Our umbrella goal is to create environments whereby people, business and environment are healthier and happier.
The impact from the systems we propose can be measured across both tangible and non-tangible elements that include: happiness, pollution, energy usage, renewable energy, food sources, renewable materials & construction.
We do this through a variety of products and services:
Sky Farms is one of our products and services
Sky farms: An innovative platform of experiential urban farming which encourages sustainable and healthy living, supports a paradigm shift from the conventional food model, which is rural, disconnected and monoculture to an alternative contemporary approach which is urban, connected and distributed.
Sky farms are designed to support social innovation and sustainability: they connect and engage communities, educate and enable sharing in collaborative socially desirable environments
Impact: positively impact the psychology and quality of life of urban residents by repurposing unused spaces and so encourage a re-distribution of the food chain, increase knowledge of how to grow local organic food, increase green space in the city that will help to reduce hot island city effect and reduce energy usage for cooling and heating,
Conserving genetic diversity for food and nutrition in BrazilTeresa Borelli

Dr Jason Clay, Senior Vice President Food and Markets, WWF-US visited New Zealand in September 2016 with support from the AgriBusiness Group/NZ Sustainability Dashboard and WWF-NZ.
The Sustainable Business Council hosted Jason at events for BusinessNZ members and guests in Wellington and Auckland. He made a powerful and sobering case for why we need to get it right with food if we're going to protect our biodiversity; how businesses need to lead from the front; and how Government policy will support food reliability and the value chain in the countries they govern.
Our Mission:
To provide struggling communities with the technology to grow fish and vegetables and feed thousands of people; to teach these people to sustain and expand this technology, become self sufficient, and feed thousands more.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
