Sustainable Food & Environmental Systems ProgramJason Pabst
The Sustainable Food and Environmental Systems Program in Florence, Italy uses the city as a living laboratory to study the relationships between humans and food. The program offers hands-on experiences through study tours and fieldwork at local markets, restaurants, and food businesses to examine how food is produced, distributed, and consumed in Italy. Courses taught by Italian and visiting faculty integrate social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities to analyze historical and contemporary food systems. Students gain experiential learning through field experiences and study tours interacting directly with Italian farmers, producers, and chefs.
1) The project aims to promote healthy lifestyles among students, parents, and staff by focusing on healthy diets and exercise.
2) The first year will educate about traditional, healthy foods as alternatives to unhealthy options. The second year will promote sports and physical activity.
3) Students and teachers will learn about other European cultures' lifestyles, foods, and sports to enhance understanding and European citizenship. The project seeks to minimize differences between countries and cultures.

The document presents the Double Pyramid model which pairs the traditional Food Pyramid with a new Environmental Pyramid. The Food Pyramid recommends food groups based on nutritional value, while the inverted Environmental Pyramid ranks the same foods based on their environmental impact. The model shows that foods with higher recommended consumption, such as fruits and vegetables, also have lower environmental footprints. In contrast, foods recommended less frequently, such as red meats, have larger environmental impacts. The Double Pyramid is intended to provide guidance on achieving both health and environmental sustainability through diet.
This document discusses food education in Italian schools and promotes a Mediterranean diet high in carbohydrates like pasta. It argues that pasta deserves a place at the base of the food pyramid as a nutritious source of complex carbohydrates and minerals when paired with other foods. The document analyzes the nutritional composition of pasta and pasta dishes, finding them to be balanced sources of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids in line with recommended dietary guidelines. Pasta is presented as a healthy foundation of the Italian diet when consumed as part of a meal along with sauces, meat, vegetables and fruit.
This white paper examines Mediterranean food consumption patterns and their impacts on diet, the environment, society, and health. It aims to stimulate discussion around improving food system sustainability and achieving food and nutrition security in the Mediterranean region. The paper notes a decline in adherence to the Mediterranean diet despite its documented health and environmental benefits. It argues that fundamental changes are needed across the entire food system to ensure sustainable food consumption patterns, minimize pressure on natural resources, and reduce food losses. The paper calls for urgent steps to assess current consumption patterns and identify research and policies to promote more sustainable diets in the Mediterranean region.
This white paper examines Mediterranean food consumption patterns and their relationship to diet, the environment, society, the economy, and health. It was produced by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies.

Here are the key points from the market analysis guidelines:
1. Segment the market based on income, occupation, etc.
2. Determine the potential market based on location and competition.
3. Identify the specific target market segment(s).
4. Study the target segment's consumption patterns and budgets.
This helps ensure menus and packages are tailored to the needs and budgets of the intended customers.
For how long can the world’s agro-alimentary system be sustained? It is estimated that our global population is set to reach nine billion by 2050. Demand for food products will double by then, with an increased need for more animal proteins and processed foods. As a direct result, the food-processing sector is now gearing up to address how we are going to feed a population that is growing at a rate never experienced before by mankind.

INTRODUCTION- Just In case you missed this when i first posted
There is an escalating crisis in food and farming systems. Industrial food production is damaging the environment, degrading natural resources and contributing to soaring levels of diet-related ill health. We urgently need to tackle this issue before the problem becomes even worse. But how do we go about this? And what is preventing society from doing more to change these harmful practices?
Arguably, the biggest barrier to making food and farming more sustainable is the distorted economic system which takes account of the direct costs of production, such as land, feed, seeds, labor and farming equipment, but fails to include the many externalized costs including pollution, biodiversity, social, cultural and welfare impacts. This system results in a situation where food produced intensively appears to be cheaper to consumers and more profitable to producers than food produced in a more sustainable way.
However, the external costs of this system are ultimately paid for by consumers, either individually or as part of society, even though they rarely realize this.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.

This webinar aims to connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications and provide insights into how these innovative approaches can lead to more robust, efficient, and environmentally conscious AI systems.
Webinar Speaker: Prof. Claudio Gallicchio, Assistant Professor, University of Pisa
Claudio Gallicchio is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Pisa, Italy. His research involves merging concepts from Deep Learning, Dynamical Systems, and Randomized Neural Systems, and he has co-authored over 100 scientific publications on the subject. He is the founder of the IEEE CIS Task Force on Reservoir Computing, and the co-founder and chair of the IEEE Task Force on Randomization-based Neural Networks and Learning Systems. He is an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems (TNNLS).
Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.

Symposium Sharing Meals: Social aspects of eating and cooking together
Center for Food & Hospitality Research, Institute Paul Bocuse -Ecully (France)–June 14th 2018
Through some lines of his Muaqddima, the Tunisian erudite Ibn Khaldun, pioneer of
sociology, draws a diagram that links the human need of food to the blossoming of
professions such as the farmer who produces the wheat, the miller who grinds it, the baker
who cooks it, the forgeman who manufactures the needed ovens, and so on. This
Khaldounian doctrine supports the collective concept of the human society, due to
individual or shared needs.

Symposium Sharing Meals: Social aspects of eating and cooking together
Center for Food & Hospitality Research, Institute Paul Bocuse -Ecully (France)–June 14th 2018
We can define a society as an inversed pyramid, in the frame
of which, the sociability of individuals starts in their small family,
composed of a wife/mother, a husband/ father and
kids/sisters/brothers, then extends in the big family, gathering
uncles, aunts, cousins and grand parents, to the whole society, with
which the descendance will get a large continuous contact all
along their growing up.
And since his small family, a young individual starts to
accustom with collaborating and sharing, as the parents would try
to cultivate in the heart bottom of their kids, the spirits of
cooperation, of caring about one another, of sharing different
situations and good or bad feelings.

attractions, acquired knowledges resulting from the different geographical environments in which they should have
grew up and the inherited habits of their environment, without forgetting the origin of their parents and what was
planted in their minds from their regional inherited kitchen.

Being part of the social practices, rituals and festive events as mentioned in the UNESCO
convention of 2003 (article 2.c-Paris-October 2003), the gastronomy of every nation represents a
considerable part of its intangible cultural heritage, which deserves to be safeguarded and
transmitted by successive generations.
Ali Dey Dali, a Tunisian ex-student of Paul Bocuse
institute and founder of Babboucha restaurant, defines
the Tunisian cuisine as our personality, reflecting at the
same time where we come from and where we grew.

An inherited gastronomy, of any nation, carved in countless recipes, and filled with principles, know-how,
practices, innovations of spices, evaded visions of geographical boundaries, but also climatic conditions, spatial
location, and especially of a sedimentation of several civilizations and dynasties having crossed the four corners of
a country, is in itself identiterian, being a junction of knowledge, skills, and aromas, in addition to its historical,
patrimonial and artistic dimensions.
A delicacy can distinguish the fusion of several ingredients and kitchenware, as if composing a musical score,
where the jump from a note to another varies between harmony and dissonance, figuring for example int the case of mixture
of salty and sweet in the same dish

And when we talk about specific gastronomy, in relation with the Islamic religion, we can easily distinguish a
holy cuisine, perfumed with the family deep touch, the identiterian specificities of the muslim commonwealth, calling
for gathering, hospitality, generosity : it’s a religious social cuisine, a meeting that brings together the whole family
members, and their guests, caring about one another and sharing their foods and their feelings.
The most known specificity of the Islamic gastronomy is
halal food. In the second sourate Baqarah of the Holy Quran, Allah
Says:
He has forbidden to you only carrion, and blood, and the flesh of
swine, and that over which .ny name other than God's has been
invoked; [139] but if one is driven by necessity - neither coveting it
nor exceeding his immediate need -no sin shall be upon him: for,
behold, God is much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace. - 2:173
So through this verse, Allah prohibits muslims from eating corpse meat of the allowed animals, the porks’
meat, even if it is alive, and drinking the blood, in any situation, except the deep need, where no other solution is
findable, when a muslim faces the risk of death.

Islamic cuisine is distinguishable during islamic celebrations, such as the holy month of ramadhen, where
muslims are called for fasting, followed by the Aid of Fitr, where we celebrate the good and safe conduct of the holy
month, the Aid of Idhha, also called sacrifice feast where we honor the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice
his son, as an act of obedience to God's command, without forgetting the Mawled Nabawi Cherif, where we celebrate
the birthday of the prophet Muhamed, peace and blessings be upon him.

Ramadhan, the ninth –and the only- hijri month, which name figures in the verses of the Holy Quran, where Allah says in
the verse 185 of the second surate (Baqarah) of the Holy Quran: It was the month of Ramadan in which the Qur'an was
[first] bestowed from on high as a guidance unto man and a self-evident proof of that guidance, and as the standard by
which to discern the true from the false. Hence, whoever of you lives to see [158] this month shall fast throughout it; but he
that is ill, or on a journey, [shall fast instead for the same] number of other days. God wills that you shall have ease, and
does not will you to suffer hardship; but [He desires] that you complete the number [of days required], and that you extol
God for His having guided you aright, and that you render your thanks [unto Him]. - 2:185
Whatever would be the busyness rate of a tunisian
muslim family, they do their utmost to meet in thirty days
during fast cutting in the holy month of ramadan, during which,
eating together is the most sacred gathering: it's a ritual that
stills be practiced until nowadays.
Besides, during this month of gathering and sharing of
peace and blessings, the habit of opening doors and welcoming
guests is widespread in the whole muslim countries .

From the rituals of the holy month of Ramadan, figuring in
the pre-dawn meal that we call Sahour, blessed with the Prophetic
Sunnah of eating dates, and to which calls a drummer every
dawn; passing through the breaking of the fast that takes place
once we listen to the Maghreb prayer call and the canon, to the
festive or funeral communal cooking (of salty dishes or sweets),
without forgetting the big family meeting during the summer
for the habit of food storage preparation for the coming year
(Ridene, 2016) etc, from all the already mentioned specificities,
the Tunisian cuisine has not and will never cease to be an identity
card, a puzzle of crosswords, which separate pieces were thrown
and then randomly sedimented over the time, by the different
dynasties and civilizations that crossed the coastal land Ifriqiya,
and made it a fertile ground, which highlights a prosperous
culinary heritage.

Trente film of Fadhel Jaziri lightens the ritual of calling for Sahour during the holy month,
A Tunisian historical fiction film made by Fadhel Jaziri in 2007
The film's events take place in Tunisia in the 1930s, more precisely
from 1924 to 1934. They tell the story of three myths in Tunisian
history: Tahar Haddad, one of the precursors of human rights, the
freedom and emancipation of Tunisian women, Mohamed Ali El
Hammi, founder of the first Tunisian trade union movement and Abu
el Kacem Chebbi, considered the reformer of Tunisian poetry. In a
very agitated political context, with a people struggling for
independence, the film relates a confrontation between reforming
minds and a conservative society attached to traditions.

And by the end of Ramdhan Holy month, and as a recognition and celebration between family members,
and as the islam religion valorizes the kinship, most of a family members should meet in the grand-
parents’ house, giving gifts and congratulations. Such meeting is warmly distinguished by homemade

sweets to her guests,

Conclusion
In our presentation, we did our utmost to show how much could many
sequences from Tunisian fiction movies, reflect the viewpoints of the
filmmakers to the intangible cultural heritage, making their movies like a
mirror which reflects the consolidating culinary rituals in Tunisian, by
establishing many representations of various ritual foods, which may be cook
and eaten, together, during specific situations, in order to prove the sociability
of the Muslim inherited ethnic foods, as much as their major role in the daily
life of a society.
