Food Security and Nutrition in Three Spokane County Elementary Schools-A Comm...Kylie Pybus
This document summarizes a community needs and readiness assessment conducted in Spokane County, Washington to evaluate food security and nutrition programs. It identifies 16 community organizations serving 3 elementary schools with high rates of poverty and food insecurity. Survey and interview results from 10 organizations found that while food pantry programs met some needs, nutrition education materials were lacking. Most organizations expressed interest in expanding nutrition education and cooking programs to improve health outcomes. The assessment also reviewed community food insecurity data and barriers to fruit and vegetable consumption to inform potential partnerships between Second Harvest and other organizations.
The document discusses obesity rates and causes in the Bronx county of New York. It finds that nearly 1 in 3 children and 1 in 4 adults in the South Bronx are obese. Obesity is linked to increased risk of diseases like diabetes and hypertension. Prevention strategies discussed include improving access to physical activity, nutrition education programs in schools and for parents, and making healthy foods like salad more available to children.
This document discusses community health and food systems. It provides an overview of food systems and how they relate to community health. Chronic disease health disparities are discussed, with obesity being a major issue globally and locally in Hawaii. The document examines social determinants of health and how financial barriers can influence access to healthier diets. Community food system interventions are suggested, including restoring traditional Hawaiian foods and assessing local resources and barriers.
This document discusses food insecurity in the United States. It defines food insecurity and notes that over 17 million households experience it, despite the country's wealth. Food insecurity is linked to health and developmental issues for children and causes like poverty. The document examines who is most affected by food insecurity and the physical, emotional and economic impacts. It explores reasons for food insecurity such as low incomes, unemployment, lack of access to nutritious affordable food due to food deserts, and political factors related to agriculture and subsidies.
This document discusses measuring socio-spatial inequities in retail food access in Hawaii. It provides background on obesity rates and the relationship between poverty, race, and the retail food environment. The speaker then describes how she mapped the retail food environment (mRFE) in Hawaii by calculating scores based on the availability of healthy vs unhealthy food outlets. Her results found that Honolulu and Kapolei have many unhealthy food options ("food swamps") but the areas with the lowest mRFE scores did not necessarily correspond to neighborhoods with higher poverty or non-white populations. The speaker notes limitations in only considering retail sources and outlet types rather than how people interact with their environment or obtain food through other means.

Adolescents represent a significant portion of the population worldwide and in Palestine specifically. Their nutritional needs are high due to physical growth and development during this stage of life. However, adolescent nutrition is understudied and often neglected. This study aims to assess the current nutritional status of Palestinian adolescents aged 14-16 through anthropometric measurements and analysis of dietary habits, nutritional deficiencies, and related health and education outcomes. The relationship between nutritional status, weight, height, school performance, and lifestyle factors will be examined.
Nutritional Status of School Age Children in Private Elementary Schools: Basi...IJAEMSJORNAL
Department of Education (DepEd) organizes nutritional programs to improve the health status of children in public schools. Likewise, the researcher believes that health awareness must be raised in private schools as well. This study aimed to affect the community to be aware and more knowledgeable about nutrition. Specifically, this study focused on the nutritional status of school age children in private elementary schools in Santa Rosa, Nueva Ecija. It sought to determine the profile of the learners, anthropometrics, clinical data and the knowledge of the learners as to dietary and the significant relationship between the profile of the learners and the nutritional status of the school aged children. With all the data gathered a meal management program was proposed. The study employed the quantitative description design. The study manifests that majority of the respondents were not yet aware of what they eat. In addition, age, greatly affects the respondent’s anthropometrics as to height. More so, age, number of siblings and family income, greatly affect the respondents’ anthropometrics as to weight. The researcher adopted the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipino program that was developed by the DOST- FNRI.
The document discusses obesity in low-income communities in the United States. It finds that obesity rates are significantly higher among low-income individuals compared to higher-income individuals. This is due to various factors in low-income neighborhoods like limited access to affordable, healthy foods and fewer opportunities for physical activity due to lack of parks and recreational facilities. The Center for Greater Good aims to address these underlying causes and promote nutrition and healthy communities through strategic investments and community programs.

Luther College Students prepared the following community assessments as part of their Psychology of Health and Illness class in the Fall Semester 2008.
This document summarizes research on childhood obesity, food marketing, and parental influence on children's food consumption. It discusses debates around who is to blame for rising obesity rates, with food advertisers and parents often criticized. The document reviews literature on "pester power" and children's persuasiveness. It questions assumptions that advertising always leads to purchases against parents' judgment or that parents prioritize health. The study explored these issues through research with New Zealand children on advertising exposure, snacking preferences, and parental mediation.
Reasons to Improve the School Lunch System AnhLe496
The document discusses challenges with the school lunch program in the US, including very tight budgets that make it difficult to provide nutritious ingredients for $1.30 per student. Around half a million students who rely on the SNAP program to receive food stamps may lose automatic eligibility for free school lunches under recent proposals. Poor nutrition from foods like expired milk, frozen meals and those high in saturated fats can negatively impact students' ability to learn and behave in class. The document also presents alternatives to improve school lunches by using locally grown ingredients, serving meals made from scratch, establishing school gardens, and educating students on nutrition.
Access to Healthy Food a Critical Strategy for Successful Population Health ...Innovations2Solutions
The diet of many Americans remains unhealthy, contributing to high rates of childhood and adult obesity that are associated with health outcomes such as heart disease and stroke. To promote wellness, the healthcare industry must go beyond treating individuals with chronic conditions to also address
the risks of different population segments before they reach advanced stages of illness.
The document discusses trends in diet-related diseases and obesity. It notes that leading causes of death include diseases related to nutrient deficiencies, obesity, and certain cancers. Obesity is defined using body mass index and statistics are provided on obesity rates in Hawaii, the US, and worldwide which have been increasing. Type 2 diabetes is also discussed, including its definition and increasing prevalence in Hawaii, US, and worldwide. Cardiovascular disease and certain cancers are further examined. Physiological mechanisms by which obesity may promote certain diseases and cancers are outlined. Recommended actions for reducing health disparities are provided.
American University Honors Thesis - Allie Stauss, Class of 2014Allison Stauss
The document summarizes a study that evaluated the impact of a community-based agricultural program on child nutrition in Ngaramtoni, Tanzania. The program was implemented at the Jane Olevolos Orphan Center and involved teaching children about nutrition, establishing vegetable gardens, and providing chickens to improve the children's diets. Pre- and post-surveys showed that after consuming foods from the gardens, the children felt happier, more energetic, and healthier. The program aimed to introduce sustainable agriculture practices to address malnutrition issues driven by lack of education, poverty, and cultural preferences in the community.

Health and nutritional status are two crucial and interlinked aspects of human development, which in to interact with demographic variables Malnutrition a condition that occurs due to intake of inadequate amount of nutrients leading to insufficient nourishment continues to be a problem of considerable magnitude in most of the developing countries in the world. Preschool children are one of the most nutritionally vulnerable segments of the population. Nutrition during the first 5 years has not only an impact on growth and morbidity during childhood, but also acts as a determinant of nutritional status in adolescent and adult life. Global comparative data indicate that contrary to common perception, prevalence of under nutrition is highest in South Asian children. India has the highest occurrence of childhood malnutrition in the world. Malnutrition is responsible for 55 percent of all deaths of children younger than 5 years of age globally. Malnutrition makes a child susceptible to infections and delayed recovery, thus increasing mortality and morbidity. It is therefore logical to direct attention to the quality of life of the survivors Bose and Das, 2010 . Joyeeta Bhattacharyya "Effect of Mothers Working and Non-Working Status on the Nutritional Status of Pre School Children" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-4 , June 2021, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.compapers/ijtsrd41167.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.comhome-science/food-and-nutrition/41167/effect-of-mothers-working-and-nonworking-status-on-the-nutritional-status-of-pre-school-children/joyeeta-bhattacharyya
The document discusses the historical importance of youth health for African Americans and challenges to health faced by youth today. It summarizes that African American slaves targeted young, healthy slaves who helped feed their families through gathering and small farming. Today, many African American youth face obesity, diabetes and other diseases due to lack of access to nutritious foods, sedentary lifestyles, and targeted advertising of unhealthy foods on TV. The document calls on youth, parents and policymakers to promote health through education, active lifestyles, and policies that address poverty and corporate influences.
GRANT PROPOSAL (2nd DRAFT) for GOHW Mobile Kitchen ProgramPatrice Mitsos
This document is a grant proposal from Gift of Health & Wellness seeking funding for their Mobile Kitchen Program. The program aims to address the growing problem of childhood obesity in the US by teaching youths aged 6-14 and their families how to make healthier lifestyle choices. It will involve delivering nutritious prepared meals, teaching families how to cook meals using fresh local ingredients in their mobile teaching kitchen, incorporating gardening activities, and promoting physical exercise. The program will be evaluated based on participant reactions, learning, behavioral changes, and overall health impacts to determine if it helps reduce obesity and related issues among participants.
This needs assessment examines overweight and obesity rates among children in the Harrison School District Two in El Paso County, Colorado. Interviews with local stakeholders and a review of secondary data revealed high rates of childhood obesity and a lack of access to healthy foods and physical activity opportunities. A sidewalk audit and SOPARC assessment of Meadows Park found the park is underutilized despite being accessible. Implications of the study include proposing additional programs like farmers markets, physical activity classes, and neighborhood improvements to increase access to healthy lifestyle options for children.
History and impact of the school lunch programKchampagne2018
The school lunch program was created to provide meals to children while at school. It began in the late 1800s with small local programs and expanded with federal support through acts like the National School Lunch Act of 1946. The program serves millions of children each day, offering balanced meals to fuel learning and addressing food insecurity. It has evolved with changing needs and nutrition guidelines.

This document discusses a descriptive study on the effects of nutrition education on malnutrition among adopted children aged 6 to 13 at the Pari-an Drop In Center. It outlines the importance and rationale of teaching nutrition to adopted children, as well as the study's theoretical background, conceptual framework, statement of the problem, hypotheses, importance, scope, methodology, and definition of key terms. The study aims to determine if educating adopted children about nutrition can help address issues of malnutrition. It will do this through questionnaires and interviews with the children at the center.
The document discusses developing a program to educate older adults on the importance of maintaining good nutrition and physical activity as they age. It proposes that the program would provide workshops on preparing healthy and affordable meals, safe exercises that can be done at home, and information on community resources for healthcare and nutrition. The goal is to help older adults learn how to live a long and healthy life through optimal nutrition and regular physical activity.

There is an urgent need for effective, sustainable child obesity prevention strategies. Progress toward this goal requires strengthening current approaches to add a component that addresses pregnancy onward. Altering early-life systems that promote intergenerational transmission of obesity holds promise for interrupting the continuing cycle of the obesity epidemic. A 2011 Institute of
Medicine (IOM) report emphasizes the need for interventions early in life to prevent obesity. A 2010 IOM report called for addressing gaps in existing obesity research evidence by using a systems perspective, simultaneously addressing interacting obesity promoting factors in multiple sectors and at multiple societal levels. A review of evidence from basic science, prevention, and systems
research supports an approach that (1) begins at the earliest stages of development, and (2) uses a systems framework to simultaneously implement health behavior and environmental changes in communities.
I provided background information and research on child nutrition, and I related it to child development theories and application to research, teaching, and working with children. This research paper encompasses human growth and development by sharing how a child's ecological system impacts their wellbeing, such as food programs, school, or family.
This document discusses the importance of the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act for Latino children's health and well-being. It notes that Latino children now represent 1 in 4 US children and their numbers are growing rapidly. They also face higher risks of food insecurity, lack of access to nutritious foods, and obesity. The Act authorizes 9 federal child nutrition programs that provide millions of Latino families with access to healthy school meals, WIC assistance, summer food programs and more. These programs help address health inequities and are critical for improving nutrition among Latino children.

This document provides an introduction to the journal article "Maritime Slavery" by Philip D. Morgan. It discusses how maritime slavery involved the movement of enslaved people as commodities across oceans, but also the roles that slaves played as sailors, pilots, cooks, and other maritime jobs. It explores how the maritime world provided some opportunities for slaves, such as potential wages, literacy, and more autonomy compared to plantation work, but also entailed risks and abuse from racial prejudice. The introduction sets the stage for examining slavery's role within diverse maritime contexts, including the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans.

Bangladeshi Student's Standpoint on Junk Food Consumption and Social BehaviourIOSRJPBS
Consumption of takeaway and fast food by young adolescents is no longer confined to the developed countries; it has spread to the developing countries as well. The culture of fast food consumption has replaced the traditional meal among university students and is a great public health concern. Excessive consumption of fast food is responsible for obesity epidemics and the cause of a dramatic increase of obesity-related diseases. A cross-sectional study was carried out from March to December, 2015 among students attending in five established Universities of Bangladesh, Dhaka University, Jahangirnagar University, American International University of Bangladesh, Gono University and Sher-e-Bangla Agriculture University. The aim of the present study was to examine the preference, prevalence and pattern of fast food consumption among the students. The prevalence of fast food consumption among those students was 98.5%, and 43.3% of their pocket money was spent on its purchase. The important factors for the preference of fast food include good taste, easy accessibility, increased convenience, and pocket friendly in nature. Approximately 22% of the respondents mentioned that they consumed fast food 4 days per week and more than one-fifth had the meal every day. Fifty four percent of the respondents skipped their breakfast due to a variety of reasons including class pressure and had fast food after finishing their classes, either from varsity canteens or other fast-food outlets. Though 98% of the students were well informed about the negative effects associated with excessive fast food consumption, they were still profoundly addicted to it. Specific health education programs, dietary guidelines and effective public awareness campaigns could be initiated to address the unhealthy lifestyle of university students and improve their health
For a Universal Healthy School Food ProgramRad Fsc
The Coalition for Healthy School Food is seeking federal funding for a Universal Healthy School Food Program that would provide healthy meals and snacks in all Canadian schools. Currently, only a small percentage of students have access to school food programs. A universal program could help address nutrition and health challenges facing Canadian children and lay the foundation for healthy eating habits. It could also support student learning and mental health while potentially boosting local food economies and reducing healthcare costs in the long run.
This literature review summarizes research on factors influencing junk food consumption. It finds that junk food is linked to health issues like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. On average, 36% of US children consume junk food daily, with 11% getting over 45% of their calories from it. Some people avoid junk food due to health awareness, while others consume it due to affordable prices and convenient locations of fast food restaurants. Recommendations to reduce consumption include increasing health education and making healthier options more available and affordable.

Public Health Communication Plan -Affects of Nutrition and Weight Status in C...Tatanya Swan, MPH
This document discusses a plan to address poor nutrition and obesity in children through promoting healthier eating habits and increased physical activity. It will use social cognitive theory and cultivation theory to develop goals for children to work towards a healthier lifestyle over 3-6 months. The plan will evaluate children's progress and school cafeteria changes. It aims to educate children on balanced nutrition using the "My Plate" guide and influence their choices through families, schools and community.
Many low-income families, especially those living in urban and rural "food deserts," lack access to affordable, nutritious foods. As a result, about 40% of households with incomes below the poverty line experience food insecurity. Food insecurity is associated with poor health and developmental outcomes for children. Effective strategies to improve nutrition for low-income families include increasing enrollment in programs like WIC and SNAP, ensuring access to healthy foods through transportation and farmers' markets, and providing nutrition education.
This document outlines the planning and structure for an essay arguing that unhealthy school lunches represent an injustice. It includes a thesis statement claiming school lunches create health problems for children who lack other options. Four subtopics are identified: health impacts, inequality, lack of choices, and financial costs. Topic sentences are provided for each subtopic linking them back to the thesis. The document instructs the writer to use evidence gathered to formulate the thesis and subtopics, and write topic sentences relating each subtopic back to the thesis claim. An example paragraph is also included addressing the health impacts subtopic.
The document reviews several studies on nutrition interventions for children. It finds that parent-based interventions have the most positive influence on children's nutrition habits. Involving other aspects of children's lives, like their school environment, can also improve outcomes. The review concludes that public health must address all aspects of children's lives to effectively improve nutrition and potentially decrease obesity rates over the next five years.
Soraya Ghebleh - Strategies to Reduce Childhood ObesitySoraya Ghebleh
This is a presentation from Soraya Ghebleh that looks at the problem of childhood obesity in America and offers potential policy and strategy solutions.
This study examined the relationship between parent and child media exposure, child dietary intake, and child perceptions of healthy meals in the context of household food security. The study found:
1. For food-secure households, greater parent and child commercial TV viewing predicted increased child intake of obesogenic foods and decreased intake of fruits and vegetables.
2. For food-insecure households, the relationships between parent and child TV viewing and child dietary intake were less clear.
3. Greater child commercial TV viewing predicted children incorporating more energy-dense foods into their pretend healthy meals, indicating less healthy meal schemas.
4. Food insecurity did not significantly moderate the relationships between media exposure and child dietary intake or meal
This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between parent and child media exposure, preschooler dietary intake, and preschooler perceptions of healthy meals, taking into account the potential moderating role of food insecurity. The study found that greater child and parent commercial TV viewing was associated with more obesogenic dietary intake for children in food-secure but not food-insecure households. Child commercial TV viewing also predicted a greater proportion of energy-dense foods in children's imagined healthy meals. The findings suggest food insecurity may moderate the effects of food marketing on children.
This document summarizes research on factors affecting dietary choices and attitudes towards nutrition among youth in Hong Kong. The researcher conducted surveys of 92 local and international students aged 18-24 in Hong Kong. The surveys found that local Hong Kong students and international students shared similar attitudes towards healthy eating, such as efforts to limit sugar, fat and salt intake, and considering nutrition labels. However, local students seemed uniquely affected by limited nutrition knowledge, inaccurate weight perceptions, and challenges accessing healthy food options. The document concludes stronger nutrition education is needed for Hong Kong youth.
This document is a thesis presented by Jill Marie Parsh to Hawthorn University for a Master's degree in Health and Nutrition Education in 2012. The thesis discusses the problem of childhood obesity in the United States and proposes a nutrition and garden education program to increase fruit and vegetable consumption in middle school students. The literature review evaluates previous studies that implemented similar nutrition and garden curricula in schools. The methodology section outlines how to build a successful nutrition program based on the results of prior studies. The thesis concludes that a program including weekly nutrition education and experiential gardening over at least one year while incorporating parental involvement can effectively promote increased consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables in students.
Studies show children are more likely to eat vegetables grown at homeOlivia_Hanson
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children have vegetables in every meal and snack. Unfortunately, American children are particularly averse to eating vegetables. In fact, a study on the eating preferences of 2,359 toddlers reveals that 20 percent of children 12 to 23 months old has no reported vegetable consumption at all.
The Boston Foundation shifted its health grantmaking focus in 2009 to address the rising rates of preventable chronic illness and associated healthcare costs stemming from obesity. Recent studies show obesity rates among young children, especially low-income children and children of color, are alarmingly high. The document outlines a new 5-year initiative funded by The Boston Foundation to develop and test an intervention targeting the first 1000 days of life, from conception to age 2, to reduce obesity risk and disparities among vulnerable families through improved behaviors and outcomes for both mothers and children. The goal is to establish an effective model for necessary systemic changes to address early childhood obesity, especially in high-risk populations.
The document discusses childhood obesity. It defines childhood obesity and lists its main causes as sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy eating habits. It notes that childhood obesity can lead to various health complications. It also examines statistics on childhood obesity rates among minority groups and income brackets, finding higher rates for low-income and some minority children. The document outlines stakeholders in addressing childhood obesity and strategies like lifestyle changes, nutrition education, and physical activity promotion.

Ruth Jones, a Christian teacher without a master's degree or administrative experience, was unexpectedly named principal of a struggling inner city elementary school in Grand Rapids, Michigan that was on the verge of closure due to poor academic performance. Through prayer, addressing students' practical needs, and recruiting volunteers, Jones led a dramatic turnaround of the school over 20 years. Test scores and graduation rates increased sharply, and the school now has a waiting list despite originally facing closure. Jones attributes the school's success to aligning herself with God.
- Coconut oil may help slow or prevent Alzheimer's disease in some people by providing an alternative fuel for brain cells in the form of ketones. Dr. Mary Newport put her husband Steve, who had Alzheimer's, on a diet supplemented with coconut oil, which led to improvements in his symptoms and cognitive abilities.
- Researchers have developed a ketone ester that is more potent than coconut oil, but it is very expensive to produce. Coconut oil remains a viable alternative source of ketones. Taking coconut oil may also help with other neurological diseases due to its ability to increase ketone levels and good cholesterol while reducing bad bacteria.
A teacher in Baltimore transformed the lives of students from the slums. In the 1920s, college students evaluated 200 boys from the slums and said they had no chance of success. Twenty-five years later, it was found that 176 of the 180 boys who could be located had achieved success as lawyers, doctors, and businessmen. The professor interviewed each man and they all credited their success to a teacher who had loved and believed in them. When interviewed, the elderly teacher said her simple method was that she loved those boys.
Robert Raikes witnessed the poor conditions of children in Gloucester, England in the late 18th century due to the Industrial Revolution. This inspired him to create the first Sunday school to educate and reform street children. The Sunday school used the Bible as its textbook and proved hugely successful in improving behavior and civic responsibility. Raikes' idea then spread across Britain and to other parts of Europe and America, revolutionizing religious education of children and community outreach efforts of churches. Late in life, Raikes had a profound spiritual experience witnessing a young girl reading the Bible that gave him a new understanding of faith.
The document discusses using Groasis Waterboxx devices to help plant and grow trees in dry environments like the Sahara Desert. It describes how the author and a colleague tried using 10 Waterboxx devices to plant trees in M'hamid, Morocco but their luggage containing the devices was initially lost. They were eventually found and the devices were used to plant tamarisk trees to compare growth with traditional planting methods. The document provides details on how the Waterboxx works, collecting condensation and directing water to tree roots, and hopes the experiment will help increase tree survival rates in the dry climate.
The Groasis Waterboxx is a low-tech device that helps seeds and saplings grow into strong trees in dry environments. It collects and stores rainwater and condensation to slowly water the roots daily. In tests, 88% of trees grown with the Waterboxx survived compared to only 10.5% without it. The inventor believes using this technology could reforest billions of acres and offset humanity's carbon emissions by capturing CO2 in new tree growth.
The document discusses the Groasis Technology, a planting method that uses a Waterboxx and other techniques to plant trees in dry areas with 90% less water. It summarizes that the technology (1) improves soil, maps planting areas, harvests rainfall, and uses the right planting techniques to help trees grow deep roots in the first year to survive independently. It also describes how the technology terraces slopes to harvest and direct rainfall to trees, uses 3D imaging to map ideal planting lines, and a capillary drill to quickly plant thousands of trees per day.
The document describes the Agua, Vida y Naturaleza Project (AVNP) that started in Ecuador in 2012. It is funded by the Dutch COmON Foundation to help small farmers in dry areas by introducing the Groasis Technology, which allows planting in deserts and eroded lands. The technology mimics nature by improving soil, maintaining capillary structures, and using a waterboxx device. The project aims to address issues small farmers face like lack of water, capital, and farming knowledge, in order to help alleviate world hunger and prevent farmers from migrating to cities due to lack of income from farming dry areas.
The document provides planting instructions for using a Waterboxx planting device. It outlines 6 main steps:
1. Preparing the soil by digging holes and adding compost/fertilizer or just watering.
2. Assembling the Waterboxx by placing the wick, mid-plate, lid, and siphons.
3. Preparing plants by pruning roots to encourage deep growth.
4. Planting in holes aligned east-west within the Waterboxx hole.
5. Placing the assembled Waterboxx over the planted area.
6. Watering the plants and filling the Waterboxx for the first time.
This document provides instructions for growing vegetables using the Groasis Waterboxx system. It details recommendations for greenhouse design, soil preparation, planting methods, plant spacing, watering schedules, and pest and disease management. Proper installation and maintenance of the Waterboxx system is emphasized to ensure healthy plant growth and high crop yields. Close monitoring of climate conditions and plant needs is also advised.
The document is a report on the Groasis waterboxx, a device that aims to allow farming without irrigation. It provides an overview of the waterboxx's history and development, describes its components and how it works, reviews testing that has been done, and evaluates its suitability for organic farming. In the conclusion, the report recommends that the cooperative discussed in the document not use the waterboxx yet, as more data is still needed, but could consider conducting their own tests with support from their technical services.
The document summarizes an invention called the Groasis that helps plants survive in arid climates by collecting and storing rainfall to provide steady watering to seedlings. It notes that most rainfall in deserts occurs within one week but is then unavailable, and that the Groasis uses evaporation-proof containers and wicking to deliver water to young plants over longer periods, allowing their roots to develop and access deeper groundwater reserves. Large-scale projects have used the Groasis in countries like Kenya to aid reforestation efforts and combat desertification.
The document summarizes the work of the Sahara Roots Foundation in Morocco and their use of the Groasis Waterboxx to help plant trees and reduce desertification. The Sahara Roots Foundation was established to implement development projects to conserve the Moroccan Sahara through activities like tree planting, irrigation, education, and desert cleaning. They have started using the Groasis Waterboxx, an "intelligent water battery" developed by AquaPro, to improve the survival rate of newly planted trees. The Waterboxx produces and captures water through condensation and rain, allowing trees to be planted in dry areas like rocks and deserts with a 100% success rate.
The document describes the Agua, Vida y Naturaleza Project (AVNP) that started in Ecuador in 2012. It is funded by the Dutch COmON Foundation to help small farmers in dry areas by introducing the Groasis Technology, which allows planting in deserts and eroded lands. The technology mimics nature by improving soil, maintaining capillary structures, and using a waterboxx device. The project aims to address issues small farmers face like lack of water, capital, and farming knowledge, in order to help alleviate world hunger and prevent farmers from migrating to cities.
Groasis Technology is compared to drip irrigation over a 50-year project for a 500-hectare tree plantation. Key financial indicators show that using Groasis Waterboxes results in a higher net present value (NPV) of €26.62 million compared to €21.15 million for drip irrigation, and a slightly higher internal rate of return (IRR) of 22.1% versus 23.4% for drip irrigation. Waterboxx also has a longer payback period of 7 years compared to 5 years for drip irrigation. The document provides assumptions and calculations for costs and revenues for both systems over the 50-year period.
A new technology called the Groasis Waterboxx shows promise for reclaiming desert landscapes and increasing plant survival rates. The simple device regulates temperature and moisture levels around young plants, allowing trees and crops to grow with little watering even in dry conditions. Initial trials in Africa found tree survival rates increased to 88% with the Waterboxx compared to only 10% without it. Researchers in Kenya are optimistic this technology could significantly reduce desertification and help transform the country's deserts into productive, economic areas through increased vegetation.
