Farm to table presentation

MGG-neworleans

This document discusses the farm to table movement and its benefits. It notes that before the mid-20th century, people ate food grown locally without realizing it was a movement. It then describes how industrialization led people to move to cities and become disconnected from their food sources. The document quotes Alice Waters saying fresh local food tastes better and has more nutrients. It outlines environmental, economic, and health benefits of supporting small local farms through reduced transportation and resources. It provides examples of local farms and markets in New Orleans that are part of the farm to table trend.

Managerial Ecnomis about biomass fertilizer - Biochar

Tathagata Mahajan

Biochar is a carbon-rich solid produced from the pyrolysis of biomass that can be used as a soil amendment and fertilizer. It is produced by heating biomass sources like wood chips or rice husks to high temperatures without oxygen. Biochar improves soil fertility and quality by increasing nutrient and water retention. It also helps reduce pollution and control invasive species. As a fertilizer and cooking stove fuel, biochar has the potential to create rural jobs and economic opportunities in India while reducing carbon emissions and improving agricultural productivity through its low-cost production and environmental benefits. The best approach to starting a biochar business is to form a cooperative to pool resources and educate local communities about the product.

Urban agriculture presentation (2)

urbanhomesteader

Urban agriculture involves cultivating, processing, and distributing food in and around cities. As populations grow and environmental impacts increase, urban agriculture can help address food security issues by producing food closer to populations. Urban agriculture takes many forms, from micro-farming in and around homes, to community gardens, institutional gardens, and various small-scale commercial farms raising plants, livestock, and fish. It is a creative solution to challenges cities face in feeding their residents.

The document discusses causes of declining agricultural productivity in India and proposes an eco-friendly fertilizer solution. Agricultural land is being converted to residential and industrial uses, and commercial tree planting is replacing food crops. Chemical fertilizers degrade soil over time. Most Indian farmers rely on agriculture but are unaware of new technologies. A proposed solution uses cattle waste and biowaste in a fermentation tank to produce organic manure piped to farms, providing nutrients to increase yields sustainably.

Urban farming-presentation july2008

Toronto 2030 District

The document discusses issues with current linear agricultural practices and land consumption, and proposes vertical farming as an alternative. Specifically: 1) Current agriculture is unsustainable due to finite land and increasing population pressures, leading to widespread deforestation and environmental degradation. 2) Vertical farming in "Sky Farm" skyscrapers is proposed as an alternative, which could grow enough food for 40,000 people using only 1.34 hectares of land instead of hundreds through highly efficient water and space use. 3) "Sky Farm" would be fossil-fuel free and could improve food security while reducing agriculture's environmental impact through waste recycling and renewable energy.

Southern New England American Planning Association

This document summarizes a presentation on farm to table, food justice, and land use given at a planning conference. It discusses the decline of farmland in New England over time and visions for increasing regional food production. Community groups are highlighted for transforming vacant urban lots into productive food forests and gardens to improve food access, community health, and the local food system.

Benefits Of Urban Farming

Robin Low

Urban farming has several benefits for cities and their residents. It allows for the utilization of unused rooftop and other open spaces for vegetable farms, which can produce up to 10% of a city's vegetable supply. Producing food locally eliminates the need for long-distance transportation of produce and its associated costs and environmental impacts. Urban farms also provide economic and social benefits by creating jobs, strengthening community ties, and educating youth.

Webinar 9 | Dec-16 | Productive loads as anchors in rural mini-grids

Smart Villages

This document discusses case studies of rural mini grids in India operated by Mlinda. Case study A examines a village grid connected to the main grid with domestic and productive loads from irrigation pumps and a rice huller. Case study B looks at an off-grid village with domestic, commercial and productive loads including poultry farms, pumps and hullers. The key lessons are that water pumping is a universal anchor load, existing diesel machinery should be replaced, innovative mechanisms like load sharing groups are important, tariffs must make electricity competitive with existing options, utilization increases with community-wide benefits, and involving women in productive businesses has large benefits.

An Introduction to Urban Agriculture: Cuba Paving the Way For Barbados

Carmen Raffa

Urban agriculture has the potential to help address issues like food insecurity in Barbados. The document examines Cuba's successful urban agriculture system as a model for Barbados. It defines urban agriculture and discusses its benefits, as well as challenges like resource use and weather dependence. Cuba transitioned to urban farming after losing food imports, and now grows over 50% of Havana's produce within city limits. For Barbados to develop urban agriculture, the document recommends policies like allocating urban land and providing resources and technical support.

IIED

This document summarizes research on how indigenous Mijikenda communities in Kenya's coastal region are adapting to climate change through biocultural innovations. It finds that the communities are experiencing heavy impacts from climate change like changing rainfall and temperature patterns. They are adapting by [1] conserving traditional crop varieties, livestock breeds, and forest genetic resources that are resilient to drought and pests; [2] relying more on livestock products and indigenous knowledge for food security and treating illnesses; and [3] collaboratively conserving agrobiodiversity through seed exchanges, crop diversification, and cultural village initiatives.

Food miles and local foods

University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana

Local food travels an average of 45 miles compared to non-local food which travels 1,500 miles. Eating local food supports local farmers, cuts back on food miles to be fresher and taste better, while being less expensive. However, producing only local food faces challenges of not being able to produce enough, difficulties processing locally, weather effects, and adjusting diets. Initiatives like local food challenges, community gardens, and farmers markets aim to increase local food availability.

Floating farms

YuvarajManimaran1

Floating farm agriculture allows the growth of vegetables and fruits on floating structures in waterlogged areas for long periods. The approach employs beds of rotting vegetation that act as compost and float on water's surface, creating areas suitable for agriculture. Scientifically, it is referred to as hydroponics. With features like aquaculture, hydroponics, and photovoltaics, floating farms can produce food 365 days a year regardless of water scarcity or natural disasters, ensuring food security and benefiting agriculture and economic growth through job creation.

Biodiversity Conservation, Sustainability, and Equity: India's NBSAP outcomes

chikikothari

India's National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan process in 2000-2003 was possibly the world's largest such exercise, involving over 50,000 people from all walks of life. It resulted in over 70 action plans at local, state, thematic, ecoregional, and national levels. Several methods were used to elicit participation and get inputs, including from local communities. This presentation describes the results, including the key strategies and actions on conservation, sustainable use, equity, governance, and planning. It also notes that unfortunately the Government of India pulled out of the final product, perhaps worried about its clear recommendation that the economy and polity needed fundamental changes if biodiversity conservation and related social equity were to be achieved.

The role of agricultural biodiversity in diets in the developing world

Bioversity International

The document discusses the role of agricultural biodiversity in improving nutrition and diets in developing countries. It notes that loss of biodiversity has contributed to poor nutrition outcomes and outlines several traditional agroecosystems that optimize both yields and nutrient outputs through the use of diverse crop combinations and intercropping practices. These systems provide dietary diversity and complementarities that help address micronutrient deficiencies. The document also raises important open questions about how to scale agricultural biodiversity approaches to improve nutrition security.

Reaching food and nutrition security:

Bioversity International

Agricultural biodiversity – the variability of crops and their wild relatives, trees, animals, arthropods, microbes and other species that contribute directly or indirectly, to food production – is fundamental for the long-term sustainability and resilience of agriculture. Most research in recent decades has been concerned with increasing production through the increased use of external inputs and management of production, in ways that render agriculture more uniform. These approaches are increasingly recognized as having significant adverse consequences including land degradation, pollution and the loss of ecosystem services. Alternative approaches are urgently needed to sustainably feed the growing population and adapt to global challenges such as climate change. Bioversity International has been at the forefront of global scientific efforts to collect, conserve and use agricultural biodiversity for more than 35 years.

Livestock Keepers Rights

Deepa Menon

Livestock keepers, including over 200 million smallholder livestock keepers and 120-190 million pastoralists in Africa, Asia, and South America, play a significant role in national economies and food security. They keep animal genetic resources that are uniquely adapted to harsh environments through heat tolerance, disease resistance, and the ability to forage on marginal lands. However, industrial production systems are threatening these traditional livestock keeping communities and causing the loss of animal genetic diversity through the use of improved breeds, changes in production systems, and loss of grazing lands. To address these threats, a declaration on Livestock Keepers' Rights aims to conserve traditional production systems, support access to natural resources, and provide economic incentives and supportive policies for these communities.
