Analysis on Food Security
The members of the United Nations found great value in the
analysis you provided on the effects of global warming that
result from population growth. They are now asking you write
an additional analysis to include further issues related to
population growth. Here is the issue they have asked you to
consider:
The member states of the United Nations seek to build food
systems that can provide global food security which will feed
everyone, everywhere, every day by improving food quality
though the promotion of effective and nutritional agricultural
practices. The crucial issue is not the lack of food in the world
but the access to that food. In many developing countries, food
shortages are due to governmental control over food
distribution. These governments maintain control of the
population and their power by limiting access to nutritious food
to certain groups. In this practice, they thereby "weaponize"
food.
Your second project as a consultant for the United Nations is to
develop an analysis that addresses three issues related to global
food insecurity caused by global population growth and poverty,
and to explore these issues in a developing country of your
choosing.
The UN has given you the following guidelines.
Content
The UN has asked that your paper contain three sections. Each
section should be one page (or approximately 300 words) in
length and answer specific questions, identified in the outline
below. It also asks that you use examples from your developing
country when answering the questions.
Introduction
Provide an introduction of half a page minimum that addresses
points a-e below.

a.
a. Explains the problem the UN has asked you to address in
your own words;
b. Identifies the three sections your paper will cover;
c. Identifies the developing country you will consider;
d. Tells the UN the causes of food insecurity; and
e. Provides a one-sentence statement of your solutions at the
end of your introduction paragraph.
Section I. Background

a. What is food insecurity?
b. What role does population growth play in food security?
Section II. Technologies That Can Reduce Hunger and Improve
Food Security
a.
a.
a. What forms of technology can be used to reduce hunger and
improve food security?
b. How would these technological solutions work?
c. What causes of food insecurity do these technologies
address?
Section III. Specific Factors in Chosen Developing Country
a.
a.
a. Considering the causes of food insecurity, what factors
interrupt the flow of food from the source to the people in the
developing country you selected?
Conclusion
· Provide a conclusion of half a page minimum that includes a
summary of your findings that the United Nations can use to
inform future policy decisions.
Success Tips
· In answering each question, use examples from your
developing country to illustrate your points.
· The UN needs facts and objective analysis on which to base
future policy decisions; avoid personal opinion and make sure
your answers are based on information you find through
research.
Formatting Requirements
· Make sure your paper consists of four to six pages of content
(or 1,200 words minimum, not including the cover or reference
pages).
· Create headings for each section of your paper as follows:
. Section I. Background
. Section II. Technologies That Can Reduce Hunger and
Improve Food Security
. Section III. Specific Factors in Chosen Developing Country
· Use and cite at least five credible sources in your research. A
list of potential resources is available below.
· Make sure your paper contains both in-text citations and a
source list, per SWS guidelines: Refer to the Strayer Writing
Standards (SWS) document for reference.
· Include a cover page with your name, the country you
selected, the date you submitted the paper, and your instructor’s
name.

You are a newly appointed Chief Information Officer (CIO) of a
$25 million dollar data collection and analysis company that has
been operating less than two (2) years. It is expected to grow by
60% over the next eighteen (18) months. Your company
currently collects data using Web analytics and combines it with
operational systems data. Web analytics is an increasingly
important part of most business marketing plans. Your company
is looking for ways to leverage the collected data but wants to
ensure that the information technology infrastructure will
support the expected growth that the company is anticipating.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has given you sixty (60)
days to deliver a comprehensive information systems project
plan to address the organizational growth that the company is
experiencing. The company will be expanding from one (1)

One of the main functions of any business is to be able to use
data to leverage a strategic competitive advantage. This feat
hinges upon a company’s ability to transform data into quality
information. The use of relational databases is a necessity for
contemporary organizations; however, data warehousing has
become a strategic priority due to the enormous amounts of data
that must be analyzed along with the varying sources from
which data comes. Since you are now the CIO of a data-
collection company which gathers data by using Web analytics
and operational systems, you must design a solution overview
that incorporates data warehousing. The executive team needs to
be clear about what data warehousing can provide the company.

Large companies have been using the power of business
analytics for quite a while now. Your company desires to get in
on the action; company executives believe that using advanced
data analysis will enable the company to make smarter decisions
and improve business performance. Business analytics gives
companies the ability to look at past realizations and
performance as well as set up new expectations and
performance goals. Analytics-as-a-Service is a new delivery
model that uses cloud technology to provide business insights
without enormous infrastructure enhancements. The executive
team has heard great things about analytics and cloud
technology but is apprehensive because they are unfamiliar with
the look and feel of the technology. The executive team is
interested in your recommendations and eagerly awaiting your
forward-thinking viewpoint.

company. Considering that the company will be expanding from
one (1) floor to three (3) floors in the very near future you, as
the CIO, are responsible for the design of the infrastructure and
security protocols. You have been tasked with designing a
network that is stable, redundant, and scalable. In addition,
speed and reliability are important considerations. Assumptions
should be drawn regarding network usage in relationship to
network services and resources. All the established criteria that
were set at the onset should be adhered to within your plan. The
network solution that is chosen should support the conceived
information system and allow for scalability. The network
infrastructure will support organizational operations; therefore,
a pictorial view of workstations, servers, routers, bridges,
gateways, and access points should be used. In addition, access
paths for Internet access should be depicted. Additionally, the
security of the network should be in the forefront of your design
because protecting your data is a primary consideration.

Project Deliverable 6: Project Plan
Due Week 10 and worth 250 points
This assignment consists of four (4) sections: a written project
plan, revised business requirements document, project plan
PowerPoint presentation, and a finalized project plan. You must
submit the four
(4) sections as separate files for the completion of this
assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the
assignment it is written for. Additionally, you may create and /
or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion
of this assignment.
The use of specific software has been suggested however
equivalents including but not limited to OpenOffice, Dia, and
Open Project are also permitted. If equivalent tools are used,
files must be saved and submitted for grading using extensions
that are readable by their equivalent Microsoft Windows
edition. Assignment submissions that fail to follow this request
may result in a reduced grade.
While taking all business and project parameters into
consideration, make quality assumptions to support the
following requirements.
Section 1: Written Project Plan
You are now in the final stage of the project plan development.
All previous documentation should be combined into one
document that will serve as the statement of work for the
project. Your goal is to have the project approved by the
executive team. The project plan should be very detailed, which
is designed to accomplish the monumental task of
implementation; however, the executive team is only interested
in a 30-minute summation. Therefore, you also must create a
compelling executive summary that is supported by your detail
that convinces the executive team that they should move
forward with your solution.
1. Develop a thirty to forty (30-40) page project plan in which
you:
a. Write a five to ten (5-10) page executive summary that
provides a high-level technical overview of your project in
which you:
i. Describe the scope of the project and control measures.
ii. Describe the goals and objectives of the project.
iii. Include a high-level overview of all project deliverables.
iv. Give a detailed, realistically estimated cost analysis of the
entire project, including human capital.
v. Relate the value of the project plan solution to the
competitive advantage that information technology will afford
your organization.
vi. Recommend solution providers who can assist with
development and implementation.
b. Combine all previous documentation for Project Deliverables
1-5 in which you:
i. Provide all aspects of the information technology
implementation into the project plan.
ii. Revise the documentation based on feedback from the earlier
evaluation of your deliverable.
c. Use at least five (5) quality resources in this assignment.
Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality
resources.
Section 1 of this assignment must follow these formatting
requirements:
· Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size
12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references
must follow SWS format. Check with your professor for any
additional instructions.
· This course and its assignments require the use of new Strayer
Writing Standards (SWS). Please take a moment to review the
SWS documentation for details.
· Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the
date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in
the required assignment page length.
· Include charts or diagrams created in MS Visio or Dia as an
appendix of the project plan. All references to these diagrams
must be included in the body of the project plan.
Section 2: Revised Business Requirements Document
2. Document all revisions made to the written project plan in
the Document Control section of the business requirements
document from Project Deliverable 2: Business Requirement.
Note: This documentation must outline the revisions made to
the previous deliverables required in Section 1: Written Project
Plan.
Section 3: Project Plan PowerPoint Presentation
Additional to your detailed executive summary you must present
your findings to the executive team and the venture capital
group that along with the executive summary will convince the
group that your solution is optimal.
3. Create a ten to fifteen (10-15) slide PowerPoint presentation
in which you:
a. Illustrate the concepts from your executive summary in
Section 1 of this assignment.
b. Create bulleted speaking notes for your presentation to the
executive board in the Notes section of the PowerPoint. Note:
You may create or assume any fictitious names, data, or
scenarios that have not been established in this assignment for a
realistic flow of communication.
c. Use a professional technically written style to graphically
convey the information.
Section 4: Finalized Project Plan

the business value within and outside the organization.
· Demonstrate an understanding of existing and emerging
information technologies, the functions of IS, and its impact on
the organizational operations.

Friedman is referring to with the words, “Now the real IT revolution is about to begin.” Discuss how the beginning, referred to by Friedman, is different from the last couple of decades. · Evaluate prototyping as a technique for gathering quality business requirements. Determine the approach to prototyping that would be better suited for emerging technology projects. Determine if a combination of prototyping approaches would be more efficient. Explain your answer. Week 6 Discussion 2 "Risk Management" Please respond to the following: · Determine why project risk management is a key component to bringing a project to a successful conclusion. Include an example to support your answer. · Reflecting upon your example, describe the relationship between project risk management and cost estimation.

Then, describe how each could impact integration.
  • 2. Week 7 Discussion 2 "Project Quality and Compliance" Please respond to the following: · List three aspects of managing project quality that should always be considered to achieve project success. Provide a rationale for your selection. · Evaluate regulatory, procedural / policy, and security compliance outlined in Chapter 20 of the Lane textbook. Choose one category and then describe the relationship that exists between adherence and successful project integration. Bottom of Form Bottom of Form Bottom of Form Analysis on Food Security The members of the United Nations found great value in the analysis you provided on the effects of global warming that result from population growth. They are now asking you write an additional analysis to include further issues related to population growth. Here is the issue they have asked you to consider: The member states of the United Nations seek to build food systems that can provide global food security which will feed everyone, everywhere, every day by improving food quality though the promotion of effective and nutritional agricultural practices. The crucial issue is not the lack of food in the world but the access to that food. In many developing countries, food shortages are due to governmental control over food distribution. These governments maintain control of the population and their power by limiting access to nutritious food to certain groups. In this practice, they thereby "weaponize" food.
  • 3. Your second project as a consultant for the United Nations is to develop an analysis that addresses three issues related to global food insecurity caused by global population growth and poverty, and to explore these issues in a developing country of your choosing. The UN has given you the following guidelines. Content The UN has asked that your paper contain three sections. Each section should be one page (or approximately 300 words) in length and answer specific questions, identified in the outline below. It also asks that you use examples from your developing country when answering the questions. Introduction Provide an introduction of half a page minimum that addresses points a-e below. a. a. a. Explains the problem the UN has asked you to address in your own words; b. Identifies the three sections your paper will cover; c. Identifies the developing country you will consider; d. Tells the UN the causes of food insecurity; and e. Provides a one-sentence statement of your solutions at the end of your introduction paragraph. Section I. Background 1. a. a. What is food insecurity? b. What role does population growth play in food security? Section II. Technologies That Can Reduce Hunger and Improve Food Security a. a. a. What forms of technology can be used to reduce hunger and improve food security? b. How would these technological solutions work?
  • 4. c. What causes of food insecurity do these technologies address? Section III. Specific Factors in Chosen Developing Country a. a. a. Considering the causes of food insecurity, what factors interrupt the flow of food from the source to the people in the developing country you selected? Conclusion · Provide a conclusion of half a page minimum that includes a summary of your findings that the United Nations can use to inform future policy decisions. Success Tips · In answering each question, use examples from your developing country to illustrate your points. · The UN needs facts and objective analysis on which to base future policy decisions; avoid personal opinion and make sure your answers are based on information you find through research. Formatting Requirements · Make sure your paper consists of four to six pages of content (or 1,200 words minimum, not including the cover or reference pages). · Create headings for each section of your paper as follows: . Section I. Background . Section II. Technologies That Can Reduce Hunger and Improve Food Security . Section III. Specific Factors in Chosen Developing Country · Use and cite at least five credible sources in your research. A list of potential resources is available below. · Make sure your paper contains both in-text citations and a source list, per SWS guidelines: Refer to the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) document for reference. · Include a cover page with your name, the country you selected, the date you submitted the paper, and your instructor’s name.

The infrastructure which encompasses the network solution and security considerations is a major consideration for your company. Considering that the company will be expanding from one (1) floor to three (3) floors in the very near future you, as the CIO, are responsible for the design of the infrastructure and security protocols. You have been tasked with designing a network that is stable, redundant, and scalable. In addition, speed and reliability are important considerations. Assumptions should be drawn regarding network usage in relationship to network services and resources. All the established criteria that were set at the onset should be adhered to within your plan. The network solution that is chosen should support the conceived information system and allow for scalability. The network infrastructure will support organizational operations; therefore, a pictorial view of workstations, servers, routers, bridges, gateways, and access points should be used. In addition, access paths for Internet access should be depicted. Additionally, the security of the network should be in the forefront of your design because protecting your data is a primary consideration. Section 1: Infrastructure Document 1.
