What are the major agricultural hearths of the world? What is the relationship between plant and animal domestication, food production, and cities? What happened during the Columbian exchange? What are the positive and negative results of this exchange? How would the history of humanity be different if the eastern and western hemispheres had never interacted? What are the benefits and consequences of the Green Revolution? And of the changes to agriculture that occurred in the United States during the 1950s/1960s? How can we learn from the past to feed the extra 2 billion people who will join the planet in the coming decades? The USDA defines food deserts based on a combination of low-income populations and distance to a grocery store within a census tract. Do you think this is a good way to define a food desert? What other variables or characteristics would you include in the definition? How might what constitutes a food desert vary between urban and rural areas? What is a CAFO? What are the healthy consequences, both direct and indirect, associated with the increase in meat production taking place in CAFOs? How does the nutrition transition interact with the demographic, mobility, and epidemiological transitions? Record your food consumption over the course of a week, then categorize your food intake into categories such as grains, meat, dairy, and processed food. What phase of the nutrition are you in? How do you interact with the industrial food chain? How does the price of food differ from its cost? How can you internalize the externalities?.

Nutrition transition-presentation-2018-final
The document discusses the nutrition transition, defined as the shift in dietary consumption and energy expenditure that accompanies economic, demographic, and epidemiological changes. It outlines the 5 stages of the nutrition transition: 1) collecting food, 2) famine, 3) receding famine, 4) nutrition-related non-communicable diseases, and 5) behavioral change. Urbanization is contributing to nutrition transitions in developing countries as diets shift toward more processed foods and a more sedentary lifestyle. This nutrition transition is creating a double burden of disease and negatively impacting health systems in developing nations.

It profiles those in leadership positions at the White House, CDC, FDA, and EPA who are working on issues related to food safety, public health, obesity, and the environment. It also outlines some of the legislation and initiatives being developed to reform the food system and address America's challenges around diet, health, and sustainability.
Rural transformation and nutrition transition: Same pathways, different speeds?

Presented by Will Masters, Friedman School of Nutrition Science & Policy and Department of Economics, Tufts University.
Independent Study Final Draft
This document discusses cultural influences on health between the United States and Japan by analyzing their diets. It notes that American culture values convenience and abundance which has led to processed foods and eating out becoming more common. In Japan, mindfulness during eating and simplicity of flavors are valued traditionally. However, both cultures have been influenced by each other and globalization is changing traditional diets, potentially impacting health. Diseases like heart disease and diabetes have risen with the adoption of Western diets internationally.
Human population and demographics
The document discusses how human population growth has changed over time, from small hunter-gatherer groups to exponential growth following the agricultural revolution. It explains that population size was historically limited by environmental factors like food/water availability but grew steadily once agriculture provided a more reliable food source. The industrial revolution further reduced mortality through innovations in areas like medicine, sanitation and food production, removing limitations and allowing for rapid population increase.

Urbanization and pattern of urban food consumption in ashanti region, ghana ...
Urbanization is rapidly increasing food insecurity in Ghana's Ashanti region. A study of 116 urban households found:
1) Yam, cassava, and rice have become more important in urban diets, comprising 64.3% of consumption on average.
2) Urban households spend 74.6% of their budget on food, indicating rising urban food prices are a challenge.
3) The estimated food security index was 0.66, meaning urban households do not meet the minimum daily calorie requirement on average and are food insecure.
4) Specifically, 78.5% of respondents were food insecure, and 34.2% experienced severe food insecurity.
Food in the Developed World
1) Food issues in developed countries include overconsumption leading to widespread obesity and health problems, as well as a lack of knowledge about healthy food choices. This wastes resources and contributes to an unhealthy lifestyle and fast food industry.
2) The standard Western diet relies heavily on highly processed and unhealthy foods like red meat, sugar, fat and refined grains, obtaining nearly 1/3 of calories from junk food according to some reports.
3) Agricultural practices in developed nations require large amounts of fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation, land, energy and other resources which cause environmental degradation, fossil fuel dependence and lower efficiency.

1) Food deserts, areas with limited access to affordable and nutritious foods, are prevalent in Mississippi and negatively impact health. The closure of the only grocery store in Utica, MS left residents with long travel distances to purchase food.
2) Obesity rates are high in Mississippi, influenced by food deserts which restrict access to healthy foods and encourage reliance on fast food. Obesity increases risks for diseases and dental problems.
3) Improving access to nutritious foods in food deserts through community programs and funding could help address childhood nutrition, obesity, and related health issues affecting Mississippi residents like those in Utica.

The document discusses the current state of the food system and signs that communities are retaking control of their local food systems. It notes that while the industrial food system has increased productivity, it has prioritized shareholder wealth over community health and sustainability. However, communities are now seeing an explosion of farmers markets, community gardens, food hubs, and other initiatives that are rebuilding local and regional food infrastructure to support thriving local food economies. While big players are also expanding local and organic offerings, true community self-sufficiency is important to retain in the face of economic and environmental volatility.

This document discusses the ecological origins of diseases and pandemics, and proposes sustainable solutions. It argues that the current capitalist system and globalized agribusiness have degraded the environment and increased disease transmission by destroying habitats, concentrating livestock, and disrupting communities. However, regenerative agriculture practices that reintroduce diversity, integrate crops and animals, and reconnect food production and communities can help mitigate disease emergence while improving sustainability, resilience, and public health. Transitioning to regional agroecological food systems is presented as a way to address the root social and ecological causes of pandemics.Community food profile final

ABSTRACT
There is growing awareness that the profound changes in the envi-
ronment (eg, in diet and other lifestyle conditions) that began with
the introduction of agriculture and animal husbandry �10 000 y ago
occurred too recently on an evolutionary time scale for the human
genome to adjust. In conjunction with this discordance between our
ancient, genetically determined biology and the nutritional, cultural,
and activity patterns of contemporary Western populations, many of
the so-called diseases of civilization have emerged. In particular,
food staples and food-processing procedures introduced during the
Neolithic and Industrial Periods have fundamentally altered 7 cru-
cial nutritional characteristics of ancestral hominin diets: 1) glyce-
mic load, 2) fatty acid composition, 3) macronutrient composition,
4) micronutrient density, 5) acid-base balance, 6) sodium-potassium
ratio, and 7) fiber content. The evolutionary collision of our ancient
genome with the nutritional qualities of recently introduced foods may
underlie many of the chronic diseases of Western civilization. Am
J Clin Nutr 2005;81:341–54.
KEY WORDS Westernized diets, chronic disease, processed
foods, genetic discordance, hunter-gatherers, human evolution
EVOLUTIONARY DISCORDANCE
Evolution acting through natural selection represents an on-
going interaction between a species’ genome and its environment
over the course of multiple generations. Genetic traits may be
positively or negatively selected relative to their concordance or
discordance with environmental selective pressures (1). When
the environment remains relatively constant, stabilizing selec-
tion tends to maintain genetic traits that represent the optimal
average for a population (2). When environmental conditions
permanently change, evolutionary discordance arises between a
species’ genome and its environment, and stabilizing selection is
replaced by directional selection, moving the average population
genome to a new set point (1, 2). Initially, when permanent
environmental changes occur in a population, individuals bear-
ing the previous average status quo genome experience evolu-
tionary discordance (2, 3). In the affected genotype, this evolu-
tionary discordance manifests itself phenotypically as disease,
increased morbidity and mortality, and reduced reproductive
success (1–3).
Similar to all species, contemporary humans are genetically
adapted to the environment of their ancestors—that is, to the
environment that their ancestors survived in and that conse-
quently conditioned their genetic makeup (1–3). There is grow-
ing awareness that the profound environmental changes (eg, in
diet and other lifestyle conditions) that began with the introduc-
tion of agriculture and.

This document summarizes a GIS analysis of food resources and their relationship to obesity and poverty in Los Angeles County. The analysis found correlations between areas with high poverty rates and high obesity rates, and a lack of access to healthy foods. Maps showed high densities of fast food restaurants in districts with high poverty and obesity. Areas with greater access to grocery stores tended to have lower obesity rates, even with high poverty. The analysis concluded that improving access to healthy foods could help reduce obesity levels.

ABSTRACT: This article considers the contemporary
food system and suggests that it is deadly in several
respects. The most blatant failure of the current
system is that it fails to feed approximately one
billion people adequately each year yet manages to
overfeed approximately 800 million people
worldwide. This binare contradiction, or 'Our Big Fat
Contradiction' (Patel, 2007, p. 1), is detailed at the
outset The system also fails to protect the
environment upon which we all depend for
sustainable food production; the second deadly
drawback the article considers. The final deadly
trend lies at the production and distribution end of
the food chain. Here power is being concentrated,
poor people are being marginalised and choice is
being eroded.
A?er detailing the most glaring problems the article
examines how the food system is organised, and
what ideologies and structures help sustain and
promote its diffusion across the globe. The core
question is, given its multiple failings, why is the
contemporary system of food production not
challenged more successfully and changed? The
answer points to the powerful vested interests that
profit from its operations, a few of which are also
considered. The article concludes that the system is
ethically suspect and unsustainable, and closes with
an evaluation of the efforts made by various
individuals and communities to implement a more
enlightened food system.

The document discusses cooperative financial institutions (CFIs) and cooperative banks in South Africa. It notes that there are currently 26 registered CFIs and 2 cooperative banks in the country. CFIs are member-owned financial cooperatives that provide savings and credit services to their members. The Cooperative Banks Development Agency promotes and regulates CFIs and aims to develop a strong cooperative banking sector. CFIs can play an important role by improving access to affordable financial services, promoting savings, and investing in local communities and cooperatives. However, CFIs remain relatively unknown in South Africa and face challenges in changing perceptions.
Food Shortage In Cuba
In the late 1980s, Cuba had a fairly successful economy dependent on Soviet subsidies. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Cuba lost these subsidies and was pushed into an economic crisis. Food shortages became prevalent as imports slowed down and stopped, triggering human migration out of Cuba and an imbalance in their development.
The Human Population and Its Impact
The document discusses the human population and its impact. It begins by defining population growth and noting that the current world population is over 7.4 billion. If trends continue, the population is projected to reach 8.5-10.9 billion by 2050. Several factors influence population size, including birth rates, death rates, and migration. Rapid population growth can put pressure on resources and the environment, while population age structure also affects growth rates. The document examines population issues for different countries and regions.
The Agricultural Revolution Of Cuba
Cuba struggled for a long time to develop sustainable agricultural systems and produce enough food. However, Cuba's agriculture is now more self-sufficient and environmentally-friendly than ever before. Cuba has inspired other countries to pursue self-sufficiency and sustainable farming practices focused on meeting domestic needs rather than export. Their agricultural revolution shows how policies can threaten food security and how countries can improve resilience through diversified and localized food production.
Final Capstone
This document summarizes research on food deserts and initiatives to address them. It defines food deserts as low-income urban or rural areas with limited access to healthy foods. Residents of food deserts face higher rates of diet-related diseases and lower life expectancy. In Baltimore, food deserts predominantly impact low-income African American communities. The document then discusses challenges to introducing healthy foods in food desert corner stores, including higher costs and shorter shelf lives of fresh foods. It introduces the Baltimarket Healthy Stores intervention program in Baltimore that aims to engage youth and retailers to increase access to healthy options in food deserts.
PPT of Sustainable Development.pptx
The document discusses sustainable development and several of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It summarizes the goals of Zero Hunger, Responsible Consumption and Production, and Quality Education. It notes that hunger is increasing again globally and sustainable food production is needed to feed the growing population. It explains that responsible consumption and reducing waste are important given finite resources. It also emphasizes that quality education is needed to prepare more people to productively contribute as populations increase.

Food Made Visible
It might sound odd to say this about something people deal with at
least three times a day, but food in America has been more or less
invisible, politically speaking, until very recently. At least until the
early 1970s, when a bout of food price inflation and the appearance
of books critical of industrial agriculture (by Wendell Berry, Francis
Moore Lappé, and Barry Commoner, among others) threatened to
propel the subject to the top of the national agenda, Americans have
not had to think very hard about where their food comes from, or
what it is doing to the planet, their bodies, and their society.

Michelle Obama at a farmers’ market near the
White House, September 17, 2009
Most people count this a blessing. Americans spend a smaller
percentage of their income on food than any people in history
—slightly less than 10 percent—and a smaller amount of their time preparing it: a mere thirty-one
minutes a day on average, including clean-up. The supermarkets brim with produce summoned from
every corner of the globe, a steady stream of novel food products (17,000 new ones each year) crowds
the middle aisles, and in the freezer case you can find “home meal replacements” in every conceivable
ethnic stripe, demanding nothing more of the eater than opening the package and waiting for the
microwave to chirp. Considered in the long sweep of human history, in which getting food dominated
not just daily life but economic and political life as well, having to worry about food as little as we do,
or did, seems almost a kind of dream.
The dream that the age-old “food problem” had been largely solved for most Americans was sustained
by the tremendous postwar increases in the productivity of American farmers, made possible by cheap
fossil fuel (the key ingredient in both chemical fertilizers and pesticides) and changes in agricultural
policies. Ask.

Urbanization and pattern of urban food consumption in ashanti region, ghana ...
Urbanization is rapidly increasing food insecurity in Ghana's Ashanti region. A study of 116 urban households found:
1) Yam, cassava, and rice have become more important in urban diets, comprising 64.3% of consumption on average.
2) Urban households spend 74.6% of their budget on food, indicating rising urban food prices are a challenge.
3) The estimated food security index was 0.66, meaning urban households do not meet the minimum daily calorie requirement on average and are food insecure.
4) Specifically, 78.5% of respondents were food insecure, and 34.2% experienced severe food insecurity.
Food in the Developed World
1) Food issues in developed countries include overconsumption leading to widespread obesity and health problems, as well as a lack of knowledge about healthy food choices. This wastes resources and contributes to an unhealthy lifestyle and fast food industry.
2) The standard Western diet relies heavily on highly processed and unhealthy foods like red meat, sugar, fat and refined grains, obtaining nearly 1/3 of calories from junk food according to some reports.
3) Agricultural practices in developed nations require large amounts of fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation, land, energy and other resources which cause environmental degradation, fossil fuel dependence and lower efficiency.

1) Food deserts, areas with limited access to affordable and nutritious foods, are prevalent in Mississippi and negatively impact health. The closure of the only grocery store in Utica, MS left residents with long travel distances to purchase food.
2) Obesity rates are high in Mississippi, influenced by food deserts which restrict access to healthy foods and encourage reliance on fast food. Obesity increases risks for diseases and dental problems.
3) Improving access to nutritious foods in food deserts through community programs and funding could help address childhood nutrition, obesity, and related health issues affecting Mississippi residents like those in Utica.

The document discusses the current state of the food system and signs that communities are retaking control of their local food systems. It notes that while the industrial food system has increased productivity, it has prioritized shareholder wealth over community health and sustainability. However, communities are now seeing an explosion of farmers markets, community gardens, food hubs, and other initiatives that are rebuilding local and regional food infrastructure to support thriving local food economies. While big players are also expanding local and organic offerings, true community self-sufficiency is important to retain in the face of economic and environmental volatility.

This document discusses the ecological origins of diseases and pandemics, and proposes sustainable solutions. It argues that the current capitalist system and globalized agribusiness have degraded the environment and increased disease transmission by destroying habitats, concentrating livestock, and disrupting communities. However, regenerative agriculture practices that reintroduce diversity, integrate crops and animals, and reconnect food production and communities can help mitigate disease emergence while improving sustainability, resilience, and public health. Transitioning to regional agroecological food systems is presented as a way to address the root social and ecological causes of pandemics.Community food profile final

ABSTRACT
There is growing awareness that the profound changes in the envi-
ronment (eg, in diet and other lifestyle conditions) that began with
the introduction of agriculture and animal husbandry �10 000 y ago
occurred too recently on an evolutionary time scale for the human
genome to adjust. In conjunction with this discordance between our
ancient, genetically determined biology and the nutritional, cultural,
and activity patterns of contemporary Western populations, many of
the so-called diseases of civilization have emerged. In particular,
food staples and food-processing procedures introduced during the
Neolithic and Industrial Periods have fundamentally altered 7 cru-
cial nutritional characteristics of ancestral hominin diets: 1) glyce-
mic load, 2) fatty acid composition, 3) macronutrient composition,
4) micronutrient density, 5) acid-base balance, 6) sodium-potassium
ratio, and 7) fiber content. The evolutionary collision of our ancient
genome with the nutritional qualities of recently introduced foods may
underlie many of the chronic diseases of Western civilization. Am
J Clin Nutr 2005;81:341–54.

EVOLUTIONARY DISCORDANCE
Evolution acting through natural selection represents an on-
going interaction between a species’ genome and its environment
over the course of multiple generations. Genetic traits may be
positively or negatively selected relative to their concordance or
discordance with environmental selective pressures (1). When
the environment remains relatively constant, stabilizing selec-
tion tends to maintain genetic traits that represent the optimal
average for a population (2). When environmental conditions
permanently change, evolutionary discordance arises between a
species’ genome and its environment, and stabilizing selection is
replaced by directional selection, moving the average population
genome to a new set point (1, 2). Initially, when permanent
environmental changes occur in a population, individuals bear-
ing the previous average status quo genome experience evolu-
tionary discordance (2, 3). In the affected genotype, this evolu-
tionary discordance manifests itself phenotypically as disease,
increased morbidity and mortality, and reduced reproductive
success (1–3).
Similar to all species, contemporary humans are genetically
adapted to the environment of their ancestors—that is, to the
environment that their ancestors survived in and that conse-
quently conditioned their genetic makeup (1–3). There is grow-
ing awareness that the profound environmental changes (eg, in
diet and other lifestyle conditions) that began with the introduc-
tion of agriculture and.

This document summarizes a GIS analysis of food resources and their relationship to obesity and poverty in Los Angeles County. The analysis found correlations between areas with high poverty rates and high obesity rates, and a lack of access to healthy foods. Maps showed high densities of fast food restaurants in districts with high poverty and obesity. Areas with greater access to grocery stores tended to have lower obesity rates, even with high poverty. The analysis concluded that improving access to healthy foods could help reduce obesity levels.

The document discusses cooperative financial institutions (CFIs) and cooperative banks in South Africa. It notes that there are currently 26 registered CFIs and 2 cooperative banks in the country. CFIs are member-owned financial cooperatives that provide savings and credit services to their members. The Cooperative Banks Development Agency promotes and regulates CFIs and aims to develop a strong cooperative banking sector. CFIs can play an important role by improving access to affordable financial services, promoting savings, and investing in local communities and cooperatives. However, CFIs remain relatively unknown in South Africa and face challenges in changing perceptions.
Food Shortage In Cuba
In the late 1980s, Cuba had a fairly successful economy dependent on Soviet subsidies. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Cuba lost these subsidies and was pushed into an economic crisis. Food shortages became prevalent as imports slowed down and stopped, triggering human migration out of Cuba and an imbalance in their development.
The Human Population and Its Impact
The document discusses the human population and its impact. It begins by defining population growth and noting that the current world population is over 7.4 billion. If trends continue, the population is projected to reach 8.5-10.9 billion by 2050. Several factors influence population size, including birth rates, death rates, and migration. Rapid population growth can put pressure on resources and the environment, while population age structure also affects growth rates. The document examines population issues for different countries and regions.
The Agricultural Revolution Of Cuba
Cuba struggled for a long time to develop sustainable agricultural systems and produce enough food. However, Cuba's agriculture is now more self-sufficient and environmentally-friendly than ever before. Cuba has inspired other countries to pursue self-sufficiency and sustainable farming practices focused on meeting domestic needs rather than export. Their agricultural revolution shows how policies can threaten food security and how countries can improve resilience through diversified and localized food production.

What are the main characteristics of primary care?
The main characteristics of primary care vary depending on different health groups and state
laws; however, there are some common themes and understandings for primary care. Some of
these include being the main point of contact for individuals and families, providing education,
continued care as well as referrals. The scope of primary care clinicians is that care for health
problems at any given stage of a person's life. The primary care clinician listens manages the
patients and screens for other healthcare problems. There is an emphasis on education and
referrals to other specialists. Additional characteristics include acute care, which is where minor
health concerns that are immediate are resolved or referred to a specialist. Primary care can also
work with patients who have chronic care problems. Here the clinician can collaborate in the
care of the patient and work in the management of their issues that are long term.
Prevention and early detection are also a cornerstone in primary care. Clinicians provide health
assessments and education for patients' screening, counseling, risk assessment, and patient
education. Lastly, there is the coordination of referrals. The primary care clinician coordinates
referrals to and from other clinicians and provides advice to patients and their families for further
evaluation, treatment, or understanding.
Lastly, primary care is continued care and interaction with the community. For example, a PCP
has knowledge of other healthcare agencies, resources, and institutions within the community for
the community members/patients.

What are the major agricultural hearths of the world- What is the rela.pdf
- 1. What are the major agricultural hearths of the world? What is the relationship between plant and animal domestication, food production, and cities? What happened during the Columbian exchange? What are the positive and negative results of this exchange? How would the history of humanity be different if the eastern and western hemispheres had never interacted? What are the benefits and consequences of the Green Revolution? And of the changes to agriculture that occurred in the United States during the 1950s/1960s? How can we learn from the past to feed the extra 2 billion people who will join the planet in the coming decades? The USDA defines food deserts based on a combination of low-income populations and distance to a grocery store within a census tract. Do you think this is a good way to define a food desert? What other variables or characteristics would you include in the definition? How might what constitutes a food desert vary between urban and rural areas? What is a CAFO? What are the healthy consequences, both direct and indirect, associated with the increase in meat production taking place in CAFOs? How does the nutrition transition interact with the demographic, mobility, and epidemiological transitions? Record your food consumption over the course of a week, then categorize your food intake into categories such as grains, meat, dairy, and processed food. What phase of the nutrition are you in? How do you interact with the industrial food chain? How does the price of food differ from its cost? How can you internalize the externalities?
