Make #NotWasting A Way Of Life
Food loss and waste accounts for approximately one third of all food produced for human consumption globally each year, equivalent to 1.3 billion tonnes of edible food. It is responsible for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions and costs nearly $1 trillion annually. Reducing food loss and waste by just 25% could feed over 800 million hungry people worldwide.
Waste Not Wood
Waste not Wood aims to provide a safer alternative fuel to rural communities in developing countries. Waste not Wood is a for-profit social venture with a non-profit subsidiary that designs and implements highly efficient bio digesters in the developing world. Our anaerobic digestion model uses animal waste to create bio-gas, a safe alternative fuel for cooking. Additionally, the digester produces an effluent byproduct that can be used as a fertilizer to increase crop yield by 10-20%. We will pilot our venture next summer in Nicaragua.

The document discusses Pakistan's budget challenges given the economic impacts of COVID-19. Exports and tax revenue are sharply declining while imports are not decreasing at the same rate, worsening the current account deficit. Large-scale manufacturing and textile sectors are contracting, impacting jobs. Remittances from overseas Pakistanis are also expected to decrease. The government has limited options for a decent budget as resources are shrinking while expenditures are increasing for relief efforts. Agriculture is identified as a sector that could help Pakistan sustain pressure during this difficult time due to its linkages across industries and livelihoods.
Think-Eat-Save
Food wastage is a major problem in India, with over 25% of fresh water and 300 million barrels of oil used to produce wasted food each year. Every third malnourished child in the world is Indian, yet tons of food are wasted daily due to large weddings, restaurants, and faulty supply chain infrastructure. The government is trying to reduce wastage through restrictions and prevention bills, while individuals can plan meals better, finish their plates, and donate excess food to organizations helping the hungry.

4 value of biodiversity
Biodiversity provides important environmental services at global, regional, and local levels. It is essential for ecological processes like nutrient fixation, soil formation, air and water circulation, and maintaining water balances and flows. Biodiversity has consumptive use value as local people collect food, fodder, fuel wood and other materials from forests for subsistence. It also has productive use value as these forest products are sold in markets. Additionally, biodiversity has social, ethical, aesthetic, and option values for societies and future generations.

FOOD WASTAGE AND VALUE OF FOOD
India wastes approximately 67 million tonnes of food each year, amounting to Rs. 92,000 crore. This wasted food could feed the entire population of Bihar for a year. Some key causes of food waste in India include a lack of cold storage facilities and infrastructure to transport food efficiently from farms to markets. Both government policies and cultural traditions that promote large weddings and wasteful social events contribute to the problem. Addressing food waste could help feed millions of hungry people while conserving precious resources like water and land used in food production.

Agriculture danks
This document discusses issues related to global food production. It outlines the main methods of agriculture used worldwide and their environmental impacts. The dominant types of agriculture are industrialized systems in developed nations and intensive traditional farming in developing countries, both of which rely heavily on fossil fuels, monocultures, irrigation, fertilizers and pesticides. While these practices have increased yields, they have also led to biodiversity loss, soil degradation, water and air pollution and human health problems. The document examines attempts to address these issues through more sustainable agricultural approaches.
Presentation Uganda
Uganda's soils are becoming increasingly depleted as fertilizer usage is very low at only 2-8% for inorganic fertilizer and 24.9% for organic fertilizer. IFDC is working on various composting initiatives in Uganda to increase organic fertilizer usage and improve soil health. This includes a landfill composting facility in Kampala and a program funded by the World Bank. A case study on a facility in Lira faces challenges with waste collection, segregation, funding and demand for compost. IFDC is also researching biochar production and conducting trials on crops to promote its use as an organic fertilizer. Overall, increasing awareness, improving collection systems, providing incentives and better marketing are needed to overcome challenges
Agri 2.0
This document discusses the relationship between science and agriculture and highlights both challenges and solutions. It notes challenges such as soil and environmental degradation, and solutions like organic farming, crop modifications, and improved irrigation, harvesting, and storage techniques. However, many solutions also have downsides, such as over-fertilization potentially causing eutrophication, and GMO crops risking gene transfer to other species or having alleged harmful effects. The document aims to outline both benefits and risks of various agricultural approaches.
Food situation & agriculture in kenya
Agriculture is Kenya's economic backbone, contributing over 25% to GDP. Around 1 million hectares are under irrigation with a goal to transform subsistence farming. The major agricultural subsectors are tea, coffee, sugarcane, and cotton. Hunger affects over 1 billion people worldwide, most pronounced in rural Africa and Asia in drought-prone areas. Food insecurity is caused by factors like poverty, insecure land tenure, climate change, and world food prices. Solutions include responsive food policy, farming incentives, education, and advocacy.

This presentation by Dr George Thomas, Professor of Agronomy, KAU made at the Kerala Environment Congress organised by the Centre for Environment and Development discusses the alternatives available to organic farming
Pielikums 2 Food loss and waste
Cereals account for 1/3 of all food produced for human consumption. A third of cereal products in industrialized countries, nearly half of fruits and vegetables globally, and over 20% of meat are lost or wasted each year. Food loss and waste amounts to over 1.3 billion tonnes per year worldwide, squandering resources and needlessly producing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming.
Rainforest Presentation
The document discusses the importance of saving the rainforest and provides facts about the threats facing it. It notes that 1.5 acres of rainforest are lost every second, over 100 plant and animal species are lost daily, and more than half of the world's animals live in rainforests. It recommends ways for readers to help such as planting trees, recycling paper, establishing protected areas, reducing meat and plastic consumption. Additional facts provided are that destroying rainforests is illegal, loss of rainforests could impact weather patterns, native populations would lose their homes, and costs of wood and paper would increase with reduced supply.
Food wastage
NSS IITD and Vindhyachal Hostel are working to reduce environmental impact by selecting volunteers from each hostel to promote sustainable practices. The green warriors will create awareness around issues like food waste, water waste, and electricity usage in their hostels and motivate residents to reduce wastage. They will work to eliminate wastage in areas like food, water, and electricity through various awareness activities and bringing proposed changes to hostel authorities. One of their focuses is reducing food waste in the hostel through self-dumping practices, using appropriately sized spoons, and educating residents on the environmental and financial impacts of food waste.
organic farming prospects and constraints
Organic farming is not a new concept in India, as Indian farmers traditionally practiced only organic methods before the Green Revolution introduced chemical fertilizers and pesticides in the 1960s. While the Green Revolution initially increased food production and self-sufficiency, overuse of chemicals has led to declining soil fertility, environmental pollution, and other issues. Organic farming aims to maintain soil health through natural techniques like using organic manures and biofertilizers without synthetic inputs. It provides nutritional food while preserving the environment for future generations. India's organic sector has grown in recent decades and the country now exports a variety of organic products.

Facts That Will Change the Way You Approach Food Wastage in India
If you were told millions of people across the world are hungry not because we don’t produce enough food, but because we waste food, you’ll probably laugh it off. But then, this is a fact, an inconvenient truth to be precise, that we have long turned blind eye to. In fact, when it comes to food wastage, India is one of the major culprits.
2016 Slides for Federal Glover and Rich Seithel
CoCo San Sustainable Farm proposes using recycled water and public buffer land near water treatment facilities to grow food in greenhouses and address food insecurity, nutrition poverty, and environmental issues. The farm would be financially self-sustaining and provide hands-on science and job training while reducing the carbon footprint of the food system through local production. Key aspects include using recycled water and natural fertilizers, conserving resources, providing environmental education, and creating a scalable model to address hunger issues sustainably.
Food Prices
Food prices have risen dramatically globally due to various factors like diseases affecting crops and livestock. This has led to food shortages and crisis responses involving untested supply arrangements. Specifically, rice prices in China have risen several times in recent months due to tight supply, even without a shortfall, leading countries like India and Vietnam to impose export bans. Wheat prices have also increased sharply in Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries. The start of Ramadan has coincided with soaring bread and flour prices in Central Asia, severely impacting many in the impoverished region. To address high staple food prices, developing countries are better off subsidizing wages rather than food purchases directly to help farmers less while still supporting populations.
100 Mile PPT w/ Subtitles
Eating locally sourced fruits and vegetables can help reduce carbon emissions from transportation, support local farmers, and provide fresher and more nutritious produce. Choosing local foods keeps over 1,500 miles of transportation off of the average American meal while allowing produce to fully ripen on the plant for better flavor instead of being picked early for shipping.

Climate Change and Jamaica's Agricultural Sector
The document discusses the impacts of climate change on Jamaica's agricultural sector. It notes that small farmers, who make up 85% of agricultural holdings and rely on rain-fed production, are highly vulnerable. Climate change is already causing more variable rainfall patterns, increased temperatures, and more frequent extreme weather. This has resulted in losses estimated at $14.4 billion between 1994-2010. More frequent droughts and hurricanes damage infrastructure and lower crop yields, threatening food security as local production becomes less predictable and reliable.
Organic farming
This document discusses organic farming. It provides information on farmers' understanding of organic farming principles in Nepal, including no use of chemicals, pesticides, or urea, and using integrated pest management and farm manures. The effects of conventional farming like heavy metal accumulation, water eutrophication, and pesticide pollution are also covered. The document concludes that organic agriculture can help reduce greenhouse gases and increase climate change resilience while maintaining food quality.
Agricultute control ppt
The document discusses various issues related to agriculture in India including weather uncertainty, water resources, flood and famine control. It mentions canals, dams, wastage of food, fertilizers and pesticides. It also discusses the impact of agriculture on the economy through food inflation, interest rates, and low industrial growth. Specific cases mentioned are overproduction of potatoes and tomatoes in North India, with tomatoes being sold for Rs. 1/kg in Ranchi and potatoes being thrown on the roadside in Uttar Pradesh.
Agriculture, Food and Water
This document discusses agriculture, food, and water. It notes that food production has kept pace with population growth in recent decades through irrigation and other means, but nearly 800 million people remain undernourished. A growing population will need more food and water in the future. Key questions are discussed around how food production can be made more efficient and sustainable. The role of rainfed and irrigated agriculture, as well as fisheries, in meeting food needs is examined.

Adapting a rice farm to climate change - Laurie ArthurClimate Change Research Strategy for Primary Industries
Laurie Arthur, a rice farmer, is adapting their farm to climate change by exploring growing rice in Northern Australia to diversify from their southern farm that frequently experiences low water allocations. They have had some success trialling rice varieties in the Ord Valley in Northern Australia, which has higher security water rights. However, challenges remain in increasing yields, improving grain quality, and reducing costs to establish a viable northern rice industry at a large enough scale. The farmer aims to gradually expand rice production across both their northern and southern farms to manage climate change risks while not compromising the southern operation.Li Wenjuan — How climate change matters to our rice bowl

Global warming is projected to negatively impact rice production in several key ways:
- Rising sea levels are expected to submerge 20 million hectares of rice-growing land, particularly in India and Bangladesh.
- By 2050, climate change could reduce rice yields by 14% in South Asia, 10% in East Asia and the Pacific, and 15% in sub-Saharan Africa, increasing global rice prices by 32-37%.
- Higher temperatures and carbon dioxide levels will increase methane emissions from rice paddies, which are already responsible for 10% of anthropogenic methane and are projected to double by 2100 due to climate change.

Scientists have proposed that 1 Gigatonne of annual emissions reductions from agriculture by 2030 will be necessary to stay within the 2°C limit. Emissions reductions would would need to increase in the longer-term. The figure below shows estimated business-as-usual emissions from agriculture in the top line, and the maximum amount of emissions from agriculture in a 2°C world in the bottom line. The gap - 1 Gigagonne - is the aspirational mitigation target.

Presented by Kofi Bimpong, with inputs from Boubacar Maneh, Sander Zwart, Koichi Futakuchi and Takashi Kumashiro at the CCAFS Workshop on Developing Climate-Smart Crops for a 2030 World, ILRI, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 6-8 December 2011.
Effect of high temperature on rice growth, yield & grain quality
Rice is an important global crop but climate change poses threats to rice production. High temperatures can reduce rice yields by damaging growth and development at different stages. Temperatures above 35°C can cause spikelet sterility by inhibiting pollen development and viability. While some heat tolerance exists between varieties, mitigation strategies are needed like using heat tolerant varieties, adjusting planting times, and agronomic practices to avoid peak stress periods and maintain yields under climate change.
Impact of climate change on rice production
This document summarizes Shantappa Duttarganvi's upcoming seminar on the impact of climate change on sustainable rice production and productivity. The seminar will cover an introduction to climate change and global warming, the impacts of climate change on rice including reduced yields from increased temperatures, and strategies for mitigation such as developing heat tolerant rice varieties and improved water management. The conclusion and future work sections will summarize the key points and outline plans for additional research.
Agriculture and Climate Change
1. The document discusses the impacts of climate change on Indian agriculture. It is expected to affect agricultural productivity and shift crop patterns due to factors like increasing temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events.

Presentation for jci april 2011
The document discusses the environmental challenges facing the Philippines at the national and local level. It notes that climate change is a major issue, with the Philippines experiencing rising temperatures, sea levels and extreme weather. It also discusses threats like deforestation, mining activities, overfishing and pollution, which are putting stress on the country's biodiversity, forests, waters and other natural resources. At the local level, it highlights concerns around forest loss, vulnerability to sea level rise and threats to rivers and waters in Iloilo City.
Water scarcity by Group 4
Water scarcity is a major global problem affecting over 1.1 billion people who lack access to safe drinking water. It occurs when there is insufficient available water to meet water usage demands within a region. It is caused by both natural factors like drought as well as human factors such as pollution, overuse, and mismanagement of water resources. Many reports suggest that water scarcity is driven more by human factors associated with population growth, urbanization, and industrialization rather than purely physical availability of water. If not addressed, water scarcity could significantly impact livelihoods and food security around the world.
The agricultural sector2
The document discusses the agricultural sector in the Philippines, including agriculture, fisheries, and forestry. It notes that agriculture is very important as it provides food, clothing, and shelter. It also employs over half the world's workforce. The main agricultural products are crops like rice, wheat, fruits, vegetables, and livestock. It then provides details on agriculture in different regions around the world. It discusses the importance of the fisheries sector and sources of fish. It also outlines the current state of agriculture, fisheries, forestry and their key challenges in the Philippines.
Philippine Biodiversity: Issues, Challenges, and Initiatives
Credits of the presentation are to the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
This presentation was included in the event kit of Green Bloggers Forum, held 7 June 2016 at the Cocoon Boutique Hotel, QC, Philippines. The DENR authorized all bloggers and participants to promote the information and materials during the event.
Philippine Nature and Wildlife
The document discusses Philippine nature and wildlife. It notes that the Philippines has over 52,000 animal species and 9,250 plant species due to its tropical climate and high biological diversity. Some key points made about Philippine landscapes include its mountains, beaches, plains used for agriculture, and rainforests that are home to many protected species. Threatened and endangered wildlife highlighted include the Philippine Eagle, Tarsier, and Tamaraw. The document closes by noting challenges such as illegal logging, improper waste management, and irresponsible mining that are threatening the country's natural environments.
conservingbiodiversity-160611135811.pptx
The document discusses biodiversity in the Philippines, including:
- The Philippines has extremely high biodiversity and is considered a global hotspot. It ranks highly in terms of endemic species.
- However, Philippine biodiversity is facing major threats like deforestation, climate change, invasive species, and illegal wildlife trade. Deforestation rates remain high.
- Humans both contribute to biodiversity loss but also have the potential to be part of the solution through conservation efforts. Schools and youth can help promote biodiversity conservation through education and activities.
Loss of biodiversity
The document discusses the direct and indirect causes of biodiversity loss. Direct causes include habitat loss due to activities like deforestation, grazing, soil erosion, and water diversion. It also includes population loss from hunting, fishing, overexploitation of plants, pollution, and climate change. Indirect causes are invasive species and agricultural intensification. Habitat loss, particularly from deforestation, grazing, and erosion, is identified as the primary driver of biodiversity loss and extinction.
Chapter 9 feeding 8 billion well
This document discusses feeding the world's growing population in a sustainable way. It summarizes that China has gone from widespread hunger to becoming a major food aid donor through agricultural reforms. World grain production has tripled since 1950 due to new crops and fertilizers, but faces challenges from limited resources. Raising water and land productivity, producing protein more efficiently, and dietary changes can help meet future needs.
Natural resources
Forest resources are an important source of commercial products, food and shelter for tribal communities. They also play a key ecological role in regulating climate, soil conservation and biodiversity. However, deforestation due to agricultural expansion, livestock grazing, and illegal logging threatens forests and has severe environmental consequences like increased flooding and drought. Mineral resources are essential for development but overexploitation can lead to problems like species extinction, pollution, and depletion of high-grade minerals. Meeting the food needs of a growing global population is challenging and issues like undernutrition and malnutrition persist in many areas.
Climat echange and food security
This document discusses the challenges of ensuring global food security in the face of population growth and climate change. It outlines four dimensions of food security and notes that over 900 million people were undernourished as of 2010 due to food price increases and low purchasing power. The main drivers threatening food security are identified as population growth, urbanization, rising affluence, and global climate change. The impacts of climate change like extreme heat, droughts, floods, and storms are expected to negatively impact food availability, access, and stability. Potential strategies discussed to address this issue include reducing food loss and waste, prioritizing human food over animal feed, developing improved and resilient crop varieties, organic agriculture, and utilizing alternative foods like seawe

Water Notes
Virtual water refers to the water used in food production and supply chains. Green water comes from rainfall while blue water is from surface and groundwater sources, which are being depleted faster than they can be replenished in many areas. Infrastructure development and poverty reduction are keys to ensuring access to sufficient and sustainable water supplies. Growing populations and economic development are exacerbating water scarcity issues, especially in arid and drought-prone regions.
Changing Feeding Routines as a Strategy for Coping with Drought in Rural Kenya
- A drought in Nyairoko sub-location in Kenya in 2016-2017 caused severe food shortages due to failed rains and crop damage from pests.
- Households typically depended on potatoes and maize from their farms as their main food sources. The drought depleted food stores.
- To cope with the shortage, households changed their feeding routines by removing some meals, reducing portion sizes, and substituting the types of foods eaten. However, this led to poor health due to small food intake and lack of preferred foods.
24th november ,2018 daily global regional local rice e newlsetter
Scientists have developed new rice varieties that are more resilient to climate change impacts like flooding and rising sea levels. "Scuba rice" can survive underwater for two weeks, benefiting 20 million flooded hectares in Asia. "Sea rice" grows in salty soils along China's coast, potentially feeding 80 million people. The International Rice Research Institute maintains a gene bank with 136,000 rice varieties to develop crops adapted to climate extremes. These advances help ensure rice production can keep pace with population growth in Asia amidst climate change challenges.
Lecture 3 2ppt Food resources
This document discusses environmental issues related to food production and agriculture. It covers topics like unsustainable modern agriculture practices that pollute the environment, food insecurity issues globally, malnutrition problems in many countries, and the effects of agriculture and overgrazing on the environment. Key impacts of modern agriculture discussed are soil erosion, loss of genetic diversity, and problems from excessive fertilizer and pesticide use like contamination of water sources and development of pest resistance.
Mr. Sebastian Belle - Problems, Stumbling Blocks and Solutions for U.S. Aquac...
This document discusses the growing global demand for food and challenges facing food production. It notes that the world's population is projected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050, requiring food production to double. However, resources like arable land and fresh water are limited. Aquaculture is presented as a solution, as it is more efficient than terrestrial animal or plant production and can use water resources. The US imports over 90% of its seafood but aquaculture represents a major opportunity, though it faces challenges like lack of coordination and political support. Solutions proposed include developing a national aquaculture program to support the industry. Maine is seen as well positioned for growth due to its resources and infrastructure.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC Charlotte
A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteUniversity of North Carolina at Charlotte
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
