Agri tech will save us
Here are some sample slides of an illustrated infographic presentation design.
Sustainability is a burning issue, gaining global awareness each day. We would all like to believe that we can continue in our old familiar ways but we are also beginning to realize how critical it is to change and evolve in order for humanity and earth to survive. I created an infographic presentation for Shir Halpern, Owner at Tel Aviv Farmers Market and The Port’s Market, and a very active figure in the field of Agritech, Agrifood and Sustainability. The purpose is to portray all the hot topic in the world of foodtech and how our way of eating and consuming food is bound to change in the years to come.
How much water do we eat?
Investigation into water consumption utilising U.S. meat consumption data and UNESCO's Water Footprint data to highlight U.S. water consumption through beef, chicken and pork then identify less water intensive food substitutes.
Food wastage vs hunger compiled
The document discusses the relationship between food wastage and hunger. It defines food wastage and hunger and examines some of the key causes of hunger like poor crop yields, overfishing, and inefficient farming practices. The document also presents statistics showing that while 500 million people live in poverty and 15 million children die from hunger each year, an estimated $31 billion worth of food is wasted annually, which could feed 49 million people.

1. Approximately 1.3 billion tonnes of food, worth over $100 billion, is wasted globally every year even as millions go hungry. This is enough food to feed the entire population of sub-Saharan Africa.
2. A significant amount of the water used to produce this wasted food is also wasted, as agriculture requires large amounts of water. The water wasted could meet the domestic needs of over 9 billion people.
3. Addressing food waste could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture by over 10% in rich countries, and help alleviate pressure on freshwater resources globally. Reducing food waste is important to help solve the growing global food crisis.

2. The state has decentralized water management across multiple state and federal agencies and thousands of local water agencies, making policy changes difficult.
3. Major droughts and floods periodically test California's water infrastructure and policies, spurring innovation and progress on issues like groundwater management and conservation.
2009 Jan 14 Investing In Sustainable Aquaculture
The document discusses the growing global demand for seafood and protein due to population growth and rising standards of living. It notes that aquaculture production has significantly increased in recent decades and will need to continue growing to meet demand, as wild fisheries are overexploited. Sustainable aquaculture practices can help meet rising food needs while reducing pressure on oceans. The document argues that aquaculture presents opportunities for investors due to its potential for continued growth.

Urban food security across the three cities: A study of fragility
The document discusses a study on urban food security across three cities - Addis Ababa, Johannesburg, and Windhoek. It finds that in Addis Ababa, 41% of respondents engage in urban agriculture, mostly in peripheral areas, and about a quarter raise livestock. In Johannesburg, there was no evidence of urban agriculture due to obstacles like water access and land tenure issues. In Windhoek, urban agriculture also did not provide a significant food source. The study also found that food access had worsened for informal migrants in Johannesburg and that households caring for orphans in Windhoek were vulnerable to hunger. Common coping strategies for food shortage included taking loans, doing extra work, and relying on friends and
Population Composition & Structure - Food Supply
The document discusses population composition and food production trends around the world. It notes that Africa, Asia, and Latin America currently have the youngest populations, while Europe has the oldest. In the US, about 1 in 8 Americans are elderly, a proportion that has been increasing since 1900 due to high birth rates in the late 19th/early 20th century and declining mortality. Over two-thirds of global cropland is used to grow cereals and grains, which provide half of global caloric intake. While food production doubled between 1950-1990, production per capita has declined since 1984. China accounts for a large portion of food output but also population in developing regions. Strategies to increase yields include fertilizers, irrigation, and
Fish and food security: securing blue growth of aquaculture
Presented by Michael Phillips and Malcolm Beveridge at the Asia Conference on Oceans, Food Security and Blue Growth, held in Bali, Indonesia, from the 18th to the 21st of June, 2013.
Agriculture and its importance
Agriculture is the art and science of cultivating soil, growing crops, and raising livestock to produce food and other goods. There are three main types of agricultural subsistence: intensive, shifting cultivation, and pastoral nomadism. Agriculture provides most of the world's food and other materials like cotton and wool.
While agriculture plays a vital role, it also presents challenges. Studying agriculture is complex with many subjects to learn. Farming lifts people out of poverty but can also harm the environment through issues like climate change and soil degradation. Modern technology helps but agriculture still impacts human health, linked to both undernutrition and overnutrition. Farmers face health risks from their work.
Aquaculture for food, nutrition, and livelihoods for poor: a reality for fut...
This document discusses how aquaculture can help meet future food demand and improve nutrition and livelihoods for the poor. The global population is projected to increase by 2030 and demand for food is expected to rise 35% by then. Currently, aquaculture production meets around half of global fish consumption and will need to grow substantially to close the projected supply-demand gap of 28 million tons by the mid-2020s. Achieving this rapid growth faces challenges including improving resource efficiency, disease management, and genetics. However, with transformations to food systems and regionalized approaches, aquaculture has great potential to be a sustainable solution for the future if production focuses on affordable, nutritious foods especially in Africa.

1) The document discusses the impacts of climate change on food security in Africa, finding that the number of undernourished people on the continent could increase between 25-95% by 2050 due to temperature increases of 1.2-2°C.
2) It highlights examples from Rwanda and Mozambique where landscape and ecosystem-based adaptation approaches improved conditions by restoring forests, soils and fisheries.
3) The conclusion calls for scaling up these isolated success stories across Africa through landscape-level policies in order to achieve long-term, sustainable food security on the continent.Land governance – a key factor for sustainability
Over 500 million family farmers produce 80% of the world's food while 350-500 million indigenous peoples and 240 million pastoralists and agro-pastoralists rely on access to land and natural resources for their livelihoods. However, large-scale land deals can negatively impact local communities by threatening their livelihoods, human rights, and access to food while reducing incentives to mitigate climate change. A territorial vision of development that recognizes the land rights of local communities strengthens local food systems and builds on local knowledge while helping to address challenges of food security, biodiversity, and land degradation. Looking ahead, access to land is becoming increasingly difficult for the world's youth as population growth outpaces available arable land.
Chaopraya Water Presentation
The document discusses several topics related to water resources and population trends in South Asia. It notes that the population of the region is heavily dependent on agriculture and irrigation, placing high demand on limited water supplies. Climate change is expected to further stress water resources by reducing the flows of major rivers like the Indus over the long run as glaciers melt. This will exacerbate disputes over access to water between countries like India and Pakistan.

Malnutrition in haiti
Haiti faces severe malnutrition problems. Over 2.5 million Haitians live in extreme poverty, with two-thirds of the population earning less than $2 per day. Malnutrition is widespread, with 100,000 children under 5 suffering from acute malnutrition. Only half of households have access to safe water and a quarter have adequate sanitation. Additionally, while agriculture is important to Haiti's economy, the country fails to produce enough food and imports over half of its needs, importing 80% of its staple, rice. Most farmers also lack irrigation, relying only on rain for harvest.
Make #NotWasting A Way Of Life
Food loss and waste accounts for approximately one third of all food produced for human consumption globally each year, equivalent to 1.3 billion tonnes of edible food. It is responsible for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions and costs nearly $1 trillion annually. Reducing food loss and waste by just 25% could feed over 800 million hungry people worldwide.
BSEF 2013 agriculture Aaron Schapper
1) Irrigated agriculture has played a key role in increasing global food production over the last 50 years, with 40% of the increased production coming from irrigated farmland as the area of rainfed agriculture has remained largely unchanged.
2) As the global population continues to grow, production intensity through precision irrigation will be critical to meet future food needs.
3) Irrigation provides significant yield benefits and production stability compared to rainfed agriculture, helping mitigate risks from variable weather conditions.

Food security in world 2050
The document discusses food security challenges facing the world by 2050. Key points include:
- Global food production must increase 70% by 2050 to feed a rising population expected to reach 9.1 billion.
- Hunger currently affects over 821 million people worldwide and billions lack reliable access to nutritious food.
- Factors exacerbating food insecurity include population growth, changing diets, climate change, water scarcity, soil erosion, and plateauing crop yields.
- Solutions proposed are closing yield gaps, raising water productivity, balancing calorie and nutrient needs, reducing food waste, and supporting young farmers. UN agencies are working on programs like Zero Hunger to end hunger by 2030.
BROCHURE CIP 2016
The document discusses the work of the International Potato Center (CIP) in developing potato and sweet potato varieties to improve food security and nutrition globally. CIP uses advanced breeding techniques and biotechnology to develop resilient, high-yielding varieties that are resistant to stresses like disease, pests and climate change. A key focus is developing biofortified orange-fleshed sweet potato that is rich in vitamin A to combat malnutrition. CIP maintains a global genebank and works with partners around the world to scale new varieties and best practices, aiming to benefit millions of smallholder farmers and their families in developing countries over the next ten years.

Gem ppt-25-sin of food waste
Food waste occurs at all stages of production and consumption worldwide. As much as half of all food is wasted globally according to some estimates. In developed countries, over 100 kg of food per person per year is wasted at the consumption stage. Food waste has negative environmental impacts, requiring vast amounts of land, water and fuel to produce uneaten food. Reducing food waste through better planning, donation of excess food, and composting could help address world hunger and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

DuPont Advisory Committee on Agricultural Innovation and Productivity published The Role of Technology in Agriculture in 2013. The report focuses on meeting global food demand through science-based innovation that reaches farmers around the world.
IFOAM_engl
The document discusses the views of IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements) on challenges facing the agricultural industry. IFOAM believes that small farmers are key to global food security as they currently provide for 70% of the world's population. However, industrial agriculture prioritizes profit over feeding people. IFOAM advocates for policies, social responsibility, and research to support small farmers' productivity and allow organic practices to increase food production proportionally with population growth through 2050.
FAO presentation
The document provides information about the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. It summarizes FAO's history, mission, strategic objectives, work areas, and challenges. Key points include: FAO was established in 1945 and works to end hunger and poverty; its strategic objectives are to support sustainable agriculture and reduce rural poverty; work areas include providing expertise, policy advice, and field projects; challenges include feeding a growing population, climate change, and degrading resources.
Breaking the food-system divide with Smart Food - good for you, the planet an...
The document discusses the "food-system divide" that has led to most investments going to just three major crops - rice, wheat, and maize - despite the need for greater dietary diversity. It proposes focusing on "Smart Food" - foods that are nutritious, environmentally sustainable, and support farmers - such as millets and sorghum. The initiative aims to increase demand for and production of Smart Foods through scientific research, consumer awareness campaigns, supporting farmers, and filling knowledge gaps to help address issues like malnutrition, poverty, and climate change. The speaker seeks partners to help mainstream Smart Foods as staples globally.
FOOD WASTAGE AND VALUE OF FOOD
India wastes approximately 67 million tonnes of food each year, amounting to Rs. 92,000 crore. This wasted food could feed the entire population of Bihar for a year. Some key causes of food waste in India include a lack of cold storage facilities and infrastructure to transport food efficiently from farms to markets. Both government policies and cultural traditions that promote large weddings and wasteful social events contribute to the problem. Addressing food waste could help feed millions of hungry people while conserving precious resources like water and land used in food production.
Final draft Human diet
The document discusses the impact of human diet on sustainability. It argues that an optimal diet from a sustainability perspective is locally grown, organic, and plant-based. Such a diet reduces carbon footprint and environmental impact while supporting health and local economies. It notes the large role agriculture plays in economies and environmental issues like greenhouse gas emissions. Industrial agriculture relies on monocultures and heavy use of chemicals, while organic farming is better for the environment, soil health, and nutrition. Choosing local, organic, whole foods and cooking at home can significantly improve health and sustainability.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Peatland Management in Indonesia, Science to Policy and Knowledge Education
Peatland Management in Indonesia, Science to Policy and Knowledge EducationGlobal Landscapes Forum (GLF)
Presented by Feri Johana at GLF Peatlands 2024 - 360 Degree Approach to Improving Capacity of Multiple Stakeholders to Manage Peatland SustainablyRecycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
