The document outlines the three stages of the information cycle: find it, use it, and reference it. In the find it stage, one determines what information is needed and where to look for appropriate information. The use it stage is about effectively applying the found information. The reference it stage is managing references and citations to allow the information to be stored and found later.

Bharti Airtel, an Indian telecommunications company, was experiencing rapid growth and intense competition which posed major risks like a decline in average revenue per user. To mitigate these risks and strengthen customer relationships, Bharti Airtel partnered with IBM for a 10-year outsourcing agreement where IBM took full control of Bharti's IT infrastructure and processes. This allowed Bharti Airtel to focus on growth while IBM provided services and optimized the infrastructure, enabling Bharti Airtel to rapidly process customers, improve customer experience, and flexibly scale its business.

This document discusses several effects of globalization on food systems and their sustainability. It explores how globalization has led to changes in agricultural practices, dietary patterns, and the food environment. Specifically, it examines how the integration of markets, trade liberalization, foreign direct investment and food marketing have impacted local farmers, biodiversity, food access and nutrition-related diseases. The document also analyzes the relationship between agricultural policies, production practices and national diets.
The international food supply system is highly complex, dynamic, and composed of interconnected systems. It involves direct consumables with short, domestic supply chains; moderately processed foods with potentially international but moderately complex chains; and highly processed foods with long, global supply chains incorporating multiple production, processing, warehousing, transportation and distribution networks. Protecting this complex global food system requires approaches that consider its adaptive and system-of-systems nature.
Obesity rates are very high among African American adults and children compared to other ethnic groups. Poor diets and social determinants of health significantly impact obesity in these communities. A study interviewed African American families in Chicago to understand how economic, transportation, and safety factors influence their food access and choices. Participants reported that limited income, lack of jobs, unreliable transportation, perceived racism in food marketing and retail, and community violence create significant barriers to accessing healthy and affordable food options.
This document provides an overview of the federal policy process, outlining the four main stages: authorization, appropriations, implementation, and evaluation. It aims to educate grassroots organizations and individuals about how they can engage in and influence federal policymaking. The handbook explains each stage of the process and provides examples of how community groups have successfully advocated for policies that support local food systems and food security. It encourages readers to get involved in shaping federal policies and programs.
The document summarizes a study on workplace conditions in Chicago's restaurant industry. Key findings include:
1) Most restaurant jobs are "bad jobs" with low wages, few benefits, and little opportunity for advancement. Over half of workers earn less than a living wage.
2) Workers report many health and safety violations. Over 90% lack health insurance and paid sick days from employers.
3) Low wages and lack of benefits have social costs, including increased reliance on public assistance programs.
The document provides information about a workshop on sustainable food systems and prepared communities to be held on June 14, 2011 in Lombard, Illinois.

This document outlines the obesity epidemic in Illinois and supports increasing taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) to help combat obesity. Some key points made include: nearly 1 in 4 Illinois adults are obese, costing the state $3.4 billion annually; 1 in 5 Illinois children are obese, the 4th highest rate nationally; regular SSB consumption increases risk of diseases like diabetes and heart disease; a 1 cent per ounce tax on SSBs could raise $600 million annually for obesity prevention programs. Over 30 organizations in Illinois support such a tax as a way to fund public health initiatives and improve health outcomes.
A Cook County Food Policy Council would convene stakeholders to develop a plan ensuring all residents have access to healthy foods. Many county residents, especially in the south and southwest, lack access to stores selling nutritious options, increasing risks for diet-related diseases. A council could coordinate efforts to address issues across the food system from farm to table. By engaging diverse groups, it could help governments ease the burden of coordinating food access programs. Over 100 food policy councils exist nationally to develop policy, link government to citizens, and address regional food issues.
The Cook County Department of Public Health and the Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago were awarded $16 million to improve health and reduce obesity rates in suburban Cook County. They will use the funding to promote policy changes across schools, workplaces, and communities to support healthy, active lifestyles. This includes building partnerships across sectors, leading health campaigns, training communities to advocate for healthy policies, and providing grants to model communities. Obesity rates have doubled for adults and tripled for children in the area over the past 20 years, increasing risks for chronic diseases.
The document summarizes the state of obesity in Suburban Cook County (SCC). It finds that over half of adults and 40% of children in SCC are overweight or obese, which has doubled and tripled respectively in the last 20 years. Obesity rates in SCC are influenced by environments that promote unhealthy eating and sedentary lifestyles. Addressing obesity requires efforts at home, school, work and in communities to increase access to healthy foods and opportunities for physical activity. A multifaceted approach is needed to turn the tide on this growing public health crisis.
The document is a resolution by the Illinois Public Health Association supporting principles of a healthy, sustainable food system. The resolution cites numerous "whereas" clauses describing issues with the current food system such as inequitable access to healthy food, negative impacts on climate change, declining farmer incomes, and subsidies that make unhealthy foods more affordable. It resolves to support principles co-authored by other health organizations that define a healthy food system as one that is sustainable, resilient, diverse, fair, and economically balanced. The association will apply these principles to policy discussions and educate others on the importance of creating healthy, sustainable food systems.
