The document discusses the problem of food scarcity and hunger. It notes that over 900 million people worldwide do not have enough food and 1/3 of hungry people live in India. Food scarcity has many causes like food waste, which amounts to Rs. 58,000 crore annually in India. However, the world produces enough food for all. The document discusses initiatives to address hunger like food distribution programs by the Indian government and the efficient model of Mumbai's dabbawalas. It stresses the role of individuals as responsible citizens to reduce food waste.

Taps and Toilets: How Greater Access Can Radically Improve Africa’s FutureEric Firnhaber
The International Futures modeling system is used to explore the impact of sanitation and clean water on development in Africa through improvements in access to them. The paper explores a Base Case and alternate scenarios that reflect, respectively, enhanced rates of access and stagnating rates of access. Impacts on development are measured through infant mortality, communicable diseases, GDP, and state fragility. The analysis includes a preliminary cost-benefit analysis.

S13c10 chapter 10-facts and figures on poverty.Shivu P
Let us think, it is not practically possible to work twenty four hours in a day with utmost sincerity, good character, faithfulness in all the days of the year by one person and even if a person works like this, then also, he will not become the richest person of the world, its means that, there is no relation between the hours of work, character of the person, sincerity in work and so on with richness. So this world is running with the race of intelligence in both legal and illegal way and the most intelligent person for making money will become the rich soon and the people even with intelligence without the intelligence for making the money will remain as poor even with work and working for any number of hours. People working for money to lead the life but not getting the sufficient money to lead the life with this increase in the rate of all the essential materials will make this earth vulnerable for injury like poor people travelling with poor vehicles with increased emission will add to the burden on pollution, overcrowded slums will acts like the reservoir for all the communicable diseases and sudden breakups of diseases can occur at any time and it can involve any person. So it is very much essential to eradicate the poverty to save our planet for our living. I think the seriousness behind it will be understood by our leaders and will work for the same to save our earth for our living.
In this chapter some of the facts and figures related to people living with hungry in different parts of the world, per capita income, wealth distribution, and so on are mentioned.
Regina Moench-Pfanner - Diets in Transition: Urbanization & Processed Food at...HKUST IEMS
Recently, the Global Nutrition Report (2014-16) describes a new norm of malnutrition in Asian emerging markets: obesity and non-communicable diseases are on the rise, while a substantial proportion of people still suffer from undernutrition. People living in cities now outnumber those living in rural areas and research suggests a convergence in urban and rural consumer demand for packaged or processed foods within low- and middle-income Asian countries. Both how economics favors the production of cheap, energy-dense but nutrient-poor foods and their growing contributions to modern diets in low- and medium-income populations are important factors in the growing double-burden of malnutrition and disease. All sectors involved in the food and nutrition value-chain need to work together to achieve the research-driven incremental improvements and disruptive innovations that shift the factors of food production and consumption towards improved nutritional and health-related outcomes.
Non-Governmental Organization Social Responsibility During COVIDMission Heal
Mission heal is a non-governmental organization that helped people during Covid. The third wave is receding in many parts of the country. In India, it did not cause the kind of destruction we saw during the first and next waves. But, it has added a layer of vulnerability to the large numbers that are battling. We help to emerge from the dire situations caused by the pandemic and the lockdown. Visit Here: https://bit.ly/3lr4SOL

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

Hunger
Malnutrition & Under
nourishment
Poverty & Growing
Inequality
6. HUNGER - STATISTICS
936 million people in the world do not have enough food to
eat. (1.5 million – children)
98% of these people live in developing countries.
1/3 of the world’s hungry live in India.
Under-nutrition contributes to 2.6 million deaths of children
every year.
One out of six children in developing countries are
underweight.
One in four of the world’s children are stunted.
7. Hunger kills more people every year than AIDS,
Malaria & Tuberculosis combined.
RIGHTLY STATED…
8. WHAT ARE THE CAUSES ??
Important cause of hunger
Food that could have eaten is instead thrown away.
Food is wasted because :
we forget about leftovers
make unnecessary purchases
do not store food correctly
WASTAGE OF FOOD
9. The Times Of India
Dated: 6th June, 2013
Food worth Rs. 58,000 crore goes waste in India every
year. It amounts to 40 % of the country’s annual
production.
SHOCKING NEWS !!!
10. More than 1/3 of the average household garbage bin is
filled with food waste each week.
12. The reality is the world produces enough grain for every
human being.
Even most “hungry countries” have enough food for all
their people.
As per FAO, gains in food production have always been
ahead of population growth since 1950.
India ranks 3rd among Top Agricultural Exporters.
But at least 200 million Indians are hungry.
