Promoting climate smart aquaculture systems
Presentation by panelists Abdel-Fattah El-Sayed and Ahmed Nasr-Allah on 'Promoting climate-smart aquaculture systems' on Thursday, 27 January 2022.
Pat Garrity on Local Foods
The current industrial food system relies heavily on fossil fuels and is damaging the environment through soil erosion, water contamination and pollution. Local, sustainable farming practices that use less fossil fuels and replenish the soil are better for the environment. Educating consumers about the benefits of local food and connecting them directly with farmers who use sustainable practices can help shift people's food choices to options that are healthier, support the local economy and reduce environmental impacts.
Bi-State Health-Related Activities and Bi-State Services
During the 2016 NADO Annual Training Conference, Denise Bulat, Executive Director of the Bi-State Regional Commission, discussed the work of the agency in partnering with health agencies to improve health outcomes in a variety of ways.
Food Waste Research Paper
This document discusses food waste at Stephen F. Austin State University and provides potential solutions. It notes that the university produces thousands of pounds of food waste each month from its cafeterias. This waste is currently sent to landfills, but alternative options like composting and anaerobic digestion could reduce waste and costs. The document argues that SFA should implement campus-wide programs, increase transparency around its food service contract, and encourage cross-college cooperation to more effectively address the issue of food waste.
Multiple-Use Water Services (MUS): Toward a Nutrition-Sensitive Approach
Multiple-use water services (MUS) is a participatory, integrated approach to water management that supports both agricultural production and domestic activities at or near the home. One of its principle strengths is that it overcomes traditional barriers between the domestic and productive water sectors.
MUS has the potential to bridge agriculture and nutrition through water use: enhance crop production and household income, increase access to diverse foods, decrease disease transmission, and empower women and communities through income generation and time and labor savings. Additional nutritional benefits from MUS may be linked to safer drinking water and improved hygiene.
With emerging evidence suggesting that stunting cannot be addressed without also focusing on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), SPRING wanted to better understand current WASH and water strategies that sought to bridge agriculture and health to reduce undernutrition at the community, farm, and household levels.
Pulling on examples from the field, this report highlights some opportunities and challenges around linking MUS to improved nutrition and outlines some promising practices for making MUS more nutrition-sensitive.

Consumers' views on major issues have shifted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey found that more people are concerned about public health (61%) and the economy (39%) compared to earlier in the year. Additionally, sustainability initiatives are equally or more important to employees since the pandemic began. Ensuring employee safety, supporting local diverse businesses, recycling, and composting are top priorities. Most respondents will support sustainable food options when available. As workplaces reopen, there is strong interest in reusable plates and cutlery, bringing own bottles and cutlery, and supporting composting programs.

Local food systems
The document discusses the benefits of local food systems compared to conventional industrialized food systems. It outlines how local food systems build proximity and trust between producers and consumers through farmers markets, community supported agriculture (CSA) programs, and farm-to-school initiatives. These short food supply chains keep money and resources circulating within a local area in a sustainable way while providing fresher, healthier food and supporting the local economy and culture. However, local food systems also face some disadvantages like potentially higher prices and an inability to scale to meet large demands.

This document discusses opportunities to modify aquaculture farming systems to improve nutritional outcomes. It notes that while increasing income alone has mild impacts on child nutrition, agricultural policies have neglected diet diversity. Modifying aquaculture design could better address nutrition by producing nutrient-rich small fish in homestead ponds or integrated with rice fields. Gill nets empower women to harvest small fish. Pond dike farming integrates aquaculture with vitamin A-rich vegetable production on dykes for year-round dietary diversity. More research is needed on pro-nutrition agricultural systems that deliver foods for good health.

2012 ASFS/AFHVS/SAFN Conference Global Gateways and Local Connections: Cities, Agriculture, and the Future of Food Systems
Carolyn Zezima, Director of Food and Nutrition Initiatives, Communities IMPACT Diabetes Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine
Despite increasing recognition that fresh, healthy, local foods are scarce in low-income communities, and the creation of a number of healthy food initiatives targeting these communities, historically underserved communities still lack novel, profitable, and sustainable businesses that supply healthy, affordable and taste-satisfying foods. Bringing together the business and public health sectors, Communities IMPACT Diabetes Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine invited business students to submit concepts and plans for viable, market and community-driven business solutions to one of our most pressing public health needs: healthy, affordable food in underserved communities. The proposed enterprises must have served communities with limited availability to healthy foods, be tailored to the particular assets and challenges in the communities, and must be developed in consultation with target communities. Proposals were judged by a panel of experts in business, food and local government. Teams competed for $25,000 in start-up funds and other business support services.

School, community, and home gardens and farms can help address the obesity epidemic by increasing access to fresh, healthy foods and promoting physical activity. The Silicon Valley HealthCorps project aims to grow and distribute organic produce through gardens in schools and neighborhoods, teach youth and families about nutrition and gardening, and engage communities and volunteers. In the first year, the project involved thousands of youth and adults through education programs, produced over 30,000 pounds of produce, created new school and community gardens, and saw increased fruit and vegetable consumption among participating children.
4 Swinburn - Obesity
The document discusses the global rise in obesity and its complex causes. It presents several conceptual frameworks that illustrate the many individual, social, economic, and policy factors that influence food intake and physical activity. These determinants interact at multiple levels and include marketing of unhealthy foods, food prices and subsidies, urban design, and lack of physical activity in schools and the workplace. Solutions require a comprehensive approach across many sectors that addresses the commercial drivers of overconsumption and creates environments supporting healthy choices.

Sustainable Agriculture Presentation
Sustainable agriculture aims to satisfy human food needs over the long term while enhancing environmental quality and conserving resources. It is multifunctional, supporting food production, environmental protection, and rural community development. Dietitians can encourage more sustainable practices by promoting locally-grown foods, dietary variety, and alternative protein sources to support healthier diets and more sustainable food systems. Getting involved through community programs, government, or subcommittees allows both professionals and individuals to positively impact agricultural sustainability.

The document encourages getting started with small activities like taste tests and tours before implementing a full farm to school program.
Food and Beverages Sustainability
Food and Beverages Sustainability
Concept
According to the Worldwatch Institute(2009) the major problem in the global food production system is in the unsustainable inputs that are sued.
As a result, many forms of environmental degradation occur; falling water tables, deterioration of pasture, soil erosion.
The Western diet, with its high consumption of fish, meat and dairy products is endangering the environment; croplands are diminishing and the ocean’s fish stocks are in decline.
These grim warning signs are matched with some positive signs of awareness in society for health, environmental stewardship and animal welfare.
As a response to the problems being caused by conventional farming techniques the term sustainable food is now used to describe food production that does not take more natural resources than it gives back.
Sustainable food producers see nature as an ally rather than as an obstacle, they are able to produce wholesome food in symbiosis with nature and the surrounding community.
Uk government Sustainable Development Commission, Sustainable food is:
Safe, healthy and nutritious, for consumers in shops, restaurants, schools, hospitals, etc. And can meet the needs of the less well-off people.
Provides a viable livelihood for farmers, processors and retailers, whose employees enjoy a safe and hygienic working environment whether in the United Kingdom or overseas.
Respects biophysical and environmental limits in its production and processing, while reducing energy consumption and improving the wider environment; it also respects the highest standards of animal health and welfare, compatible with the production of affordable food for all sectors of society.
Supports rural economies and the diversity of rural culture, in particular through an emphasis on local products that keep food miles to a minimum.
The term sustainable food may not sound exciting as a description but catering businesses who develop processes to improve the sustainability of the food they offer stand a better chance of meeting the growing demands of individual consumers.
Once the domain of students and hippies the movement has moved into mainstream society and is represented by some very prominent industry players
example
Starbucks, has started selling four categories of what it calls “sustainable coffees”.
The nature of sustainable food often means that they are more expensive than other types of food.
Inevitably, there is a danger that restaurant operations seeking to provide clients with sustainable food choices may increase prices.
There is limited evidence that individual restaurant consumers are prepared to both purchase and pay a premium for sustainable food products.
Consumer attitudes toward sustainable food
Although consumer awareness of sustainability is growing, it is not yet making a huge difference to what customers choose to buy when they shop for food or sit down to eat in a restaurant.

Prevention to Work, a grant aimed at fighting obesity, a new broader view of parks in Miami-Dade County is (re)emerging. This new view goes well beyond the traditional value of parks as places of recreation and visual assets to focus on a park system as a planning tool to guide public and private development that includes the design of streets as linear parks and the coordinated development of civic spaces with parks. The session explores broad concepts to implementation.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Editor's Notes
- Physical activity: > 30 minutes/5 days per week; Screen time - < 3 hours tv/day and < 2 hours computer/video games Maybe cut out activity/screen time to make slide less complicated and because we’re focusing on food
- Activity: 50%, TV 60%Men < likely to eat fruits and vegetables, > likely to consume sweetened beverages, > fast food consumption, and watched more TV. Men < likely to eat fruits and vegetables, > likely to consume sweetened beverages, > fast food consumption, and watched more TV.
- ACTIVITY: 42%, tv: 27% (white girls drink fewer sweetened beverages than all the rest) Activity: (Hispanics < Whites) Computers: (boys significantly more time than girls)
- To simplify slide further, could just give combined total. Hispanic children at greater risk
