Global trends in agriculture the environment and food

GReusche

This document discusses several global trends related to agriculture, the environment, and food including: 1) Population growth and increased consumption are putting pressure on natural resources and leading to issues like water scarcity and loss of biodiversity. 2) Food production will need to massively increase to feed a growing population, but current agricultural practices are unsustainable long-term due to overuse of water, land, and chemicals. 3) Dependence on fossil fuels subjects the food system and prices to volatility, while reserves are dwindling and climate change poses new threats.

Versatility at the Tip of the Spear: Food Security and the Utility of SOF

Dr. Lydia Kostopoulos

The full use and utility of special operations forces has been underappreciated in the context of food security. This report showcases the utility of special operations "beyond direct action". It is food (in)security that lies at the heart of every conflict today and yet invisible to most in its most fundamental context as a matter, and driver, of global security and defense. Special Operations Forces (SOF) offer unique capabilities that can respond best to USAID Administrator Samantha Powers’ concluding statement in the 2022-2026 U.S. Global Food Security Strategy that, “Conflict remains the single largest driver of food crises worldwide, so the Strategy also leverages investments in conflict mitigation, peacebuilding, and social cohesion.” #specialoperations #foodsecurity #defense #military #conflict #climatechange #peace #internationalrelations #internationalconflict

Thinking systemically in a shrinking world: disease emergence, global change ...

This document discusses a presentation given by Prof Colin Butler at Visva Bharati University in India on thinking systemically about disease emergence, global change, and human carrying capacity. The presentation addresses how global environmental change is weakening global health determinants and discusses emerging infectious diseases from a systems perspective. It also examines challenges related to resources, climate, nutrition, and governance in a shrinking world and calls for deeper thought on what causes major epidemics.

health

Prateek Basarkod

This document discusses emergency public health and outlines its key concepts. It defines emergency public health as a new field that takes a population-based, public health approach to large-scale emergencies and crises. Emergency public health differs from disaster medicine in that it encompasses more than just managing specific hazards - it considers the broader impacts on physical and mental health, security, housing, food/water and involves multiple sectors over long recovery periods. The document also outlines public health tools like epidemiology, rapid needs assessments and surveillance that can help manage emergencies and ensure public health security through a region's resilience.

Our food in the Anthropocene

Alain Vidal

This document summarizes a conference on food in the Anthropocene era. It discusses how current diets and food systems are driving poor health outcomes and environmental degradation. Science-based targets are proposed to create a shared vision for low risk diets and sustainable land use. These targets include limits on nitrogen and phosphorus inputs, fresh water use, biodiversity loss and more. Achieving these targets will require changes across science, business and policy to transform food systems and make food a solution to environmental and health problems.

Global Climate Change, Energy & Health: Foreboding Clouds & Silver Linings

Omar Ha-Redeye

This document summarizes a presentation on global climate change and its health impacts. It discusses how climate change is increasing temperatures, altering precipitation patterns, and intensifying extreme weather events. These climatic changes threaten to undermine progress on health issues like infectious diseases, food security and malnutrition. However, addressing climate change also presents opportunities to improve health through policies like active transportation that reduce emissions and encourage physical activity.

Cancer mortality in older mexican individuals (200 - 2010)

Dr. Omar Gonzalez UANL

This study analyzed cancer mortality rates in older Mexican individuals (aged 65+) from 2000 to 2010 using data from cancer registries. The key findings were: 1) The overall cancer mortality rate significantly declined from 630 to 573 per 100,000 inhabitants. Rates declined in both men and women. 2) The highest mortality rates were from lung, stomach, and liver cancers. Rates of these cancers significantly declined over the study period. 3) Colorectal cancer mortality rates significantly increased while rates of most other cancer types did not significantly change. 4) Men had higher cancer mortality rates than women, with the highest rates in prostate and breast cancers respectively.

Teresa Coque - Simposio Microbiología: Transmisión

Fundación Ramón Areces

Los días 7 y 8 de mayo de 2015 organizamos en la Fundación Ramón Areces con la Fundación General CSIC el Simposio Internacional 'Microbiología: transmisión'. La "transmisión" en microbiología hace referencia al proceso por el que material genético es transferido de una célula a otra, de una población a otra. Es un proceso clave para entender el origen y la evolución de los seres vivos. El objetivo de esta reunión era conocer mejor la logística de la transmisión para ser capaces de modular o suprimir algunos procesos de transmisión dañinos.

The planetary and the personal: (almost) 3 decades of work in health

Alexander Van de Putte, PhD

This document summarizes the speaker's work in public health over almost 3 decades and their vision for the future. It touches on emerging issues like new diseases, climate change impacts on food and the environment, and growing inequalities. It advocates for a large global civil society movement to promote health for all and combat the political and economic drivers of worsening health inequities worldwide. The speaker dreams of societies working together on sustainable energy solutions and respect for life to ensure civilization does not fail due to impending health, environmental and social challenges.

Iraq_infant_mortality_paper

Kayvon Alizadeh

This document reviews child and infant mortality in Iraq over a ten year period through multiple studies. The first study from 1992 found infant mortality increased nearly 3 times after the Gulf War. Later studies in the mid-1990s and 1999 also found elevated mortality rates and estimated hundreds of thousands of excess deaths among Iraqi children due to factors like war destruction, sanctions limiting access to food and medicines, and collapse of infrastructure like power, water, and healthcare systems. While sanctions may have had an independent effect on mortality, the combination of war, sanctions, and their impacts on society likely contributed to the public health crisis.

1) The document discusses givens and wild cards in energy forecasting. Givens are factors with low uncertainty and high impact, including demographics, climate change, and hydrocarbon supply. 2) Wild cards are very low probability but hugely impactful events that can be explained after the fact, such as a new country becoming a major oil producer. 3) Several givens are examined in more detail, including population trends, estimates of peak oil between 2014-2030, and the scientific consensus on human-caused climate change. The document contrasts traditional views of nuclear energy with emerging small, modular, and waste-eliminating nuclear reactor designs.
