...What is Food Security? Food Security refers to a household's physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that fulfills the dietary needs and food preferences of that household for living an active and healthy life. As per the combined interpretations of The World Health Organisation and The Food and Agriculture Organisation, Food security is defined by the following 4 paradigms: Ensuring Availability Ensuring Access Ensuring Utilization Ensuring Stability Availability is having available sufficient quantities of food on a consistent basis. Food access is having sufficient resources, both economic and physical, to obtain appropriate foods for a nutritious diet. Food use is the appropriate use based on knowledge of basic nutrition and care, as well as adequate water and sanitation. The Food and Agriculture Organisation adds a fourth facet: the stability of the first three dimensions of food security over time. Food Security Act: Food Security is achieved not only by augmenting food supply but also by implementing institutional reforms, social policies, and programmes to improve economic and social access to food and provision of basic services for nutritional absorption. There is considerble diversity in country performance and experiences in terms of the timing, pace and degree of economic and institutional reforms, and multiplicity of approaches and instruments used to increase economic access to food and nutritional...

...Would you like it if someone came into your homeland and started to take over? Well that is what happened here. There were many things that changed due to imperialism in Africa and in the Middle East. Some of these things helped the empires grow and expand and some of these things caused some problems within the empires. Many tried to resist imperialism but did not get very far from doing so. Some places did resist imperialism, but even then they had to make great changes and sacrifices. Imperialism had great effect on Africa and the Middle East. Africa was under the rule of the declining Ottoman Empire. This made Africa a place that Europe saw as a good place to divide up to make it into European Colonies. It all started when European explorers...

...Africa: Female Genital Mutilation GEO102B: Final Project May 20, 2013 Female circumcision seems to be the hottest trend in the United States right now. Females are having the hood of their clitorises removed to gain greater sexual pleasure and sensation. Another type of female circumcision done in the United States, which is considered cosmetic, is having the labia reshaped and evened up. According to Sandra Bell, there are unsubstantiated reports that some women in the United States are in communities where an extreme form of female circumcision is the ritual sacrifice of the entire external clitoris (Bell, 2012). In Africa an estimated 114 million women and girls have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM), that consists of partial or total removal of the external female genitalia (WHO, 2012). In Africa those procedures are not done for pleasurable or cosmetic reasons. FGM is internationally recognized as a violation of the human rights of girls and women in Africa. Before we label female circumcision a trend, we need to be informed of what FGM is considered in other countries, why it’s done, and what is being done to eliminate this practice. FGM is mostly practiced in the western, eastern, and north-eastern regions of Africa. It was a part of the tribal coming of age and remains, a cultural, not a religious practice. It is highly controversial and condemned by most religious organizations. FGM is practiced in many forms. Listed...

...The aim of this essay is to define famine and also to identify the underlying causes and possible solutions. To begin with, major concepts will be defined followed by a discussion, thereafter a conclusion shall be drawn. Famine has been defined differently by many scholars. In terms of food supply based, Brown and Eckholm (1974) have defined famine as sudden, sharp reduction in food supply resulting in widespread hunger. In food consumption based, famine is defined as lack of food over large geographical areas sufficiently long and severe to cause widespread disease and death from starvation (Chamber’s Encyclopedia) and in relation to mortality based, Ravillion (1997:1205) defines famine as an unusually high mortality with unusually severe threat to food intake of some segments of a population. In general terms famine is a complex process, usually arising from a combination of factors over an extended period. Famine is caused by a number of factors. The immediate causes are drought, flooding and low levels of crop planting. In addition, chronic poverty and inadequate policies in developing countries are also contributing factors. These conditions have combined to result in severe shortfalls in food production and in turn high prices for maize, the staple food of most developing countries. According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (the standard used by the UN), famine occurs when the following conditions occur; 20 percent of population has fewer than 2...

...News and Current Affairs Programme 1 ITN National and World News This programme is a national type and is broadcast right across the British Isles on a daily basis. It is not a specialist programme in the sense that it does not focus on one particular genre of news.eg sport, instead it covers every area and delivers it in a formal manner. The particular programme that I have taken notes on appeared on our screens and was broadcast on 10/10/10 at 6:00pm. It was presented by Alastair Stewart and Mary Nightingale and the headlines of each individual story were read out in the studio. This was then followed by images and graphics appearing on screen as the voice-overs of the news presenters could clearly be heard explaining the story. The first story that was covered was about how the Vitamin B could potentially benefit people that suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. The first part of this story used graphics on the screen as well as the use of voice-overs to narrate what the diagrams and statistics on screen meant. The story then progressed into interviews with experts on the matter, all of a medical background and with extensive knowledge in Alzheimer’s disease and also the Vitamin B. These interviews were taken in medical rooms with clear equipment and charts visible on camera the whole time to reiterate the issue. Finally the story was concluded with footage of old age pensioners who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and a summary voice over being made on the...

References 8 1 Research Question How does weather drive microeconomic forces to affect the prices of coffee? Introduction Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, which are the seeds of "berries" from the Coffea plant. Coffee is a popular beverage and an important commodity. Tens of millions of small producers in developing countries make their living growing coffee. Over 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed in the world every day. Over 90% of coffee production takes place in developing countries, while consumption happens mainly in the industrialized economies. Coffee has its origins in the Horn of Africa, in the Ethiopian province of Kaffa, where in all probability the first coffee tree appeared. It’s been attested that coffee beans used to be chewed by African slaves brought to Arab countries and coffee has been cultivated in Yemen since the 15th century. Coffee was brought to Europe by Venetian traders in 1615, when hot chocolate and tea had already become fashionable. Europeans then started to cultivate coffee...

...Introduction Domestication is the process of adapting wild plants and animals for human use in which individual species have been altered to create breeds with characteristics more desirable to human needs. Some of our earliest evidence of man (and art) is tied to animals. Dogs were the first species of animals to be domesticated due to security. SWINE BRIEF HISTORYOF DOMESTICATION All Pigs were descended from the European wild boar as early as 13,000 BC. And the Local breeds were introduced to African countries by the colonists DISTRIBUTION OF PIGS ACROSS THE WORLD The distribution of pigs around the world is not the same. Almost half the exotic world’s pig population is in Asia (China) 30 per cent in Europe and the former USSR. The population of pigs in large parts of the tropical and sub-tropical developing regions for example Africa and Latin America is relatively small. Local breeds are widely distributed in west- African countries ( Ghana and Nigeria). A typical example of local breeds is the Ashanti dwarf pig or Nigerian hairy black pig. CLASSIFICATION OF PIGS Generally, Pigs can be classified as; 1. Classification Based On functionality: Meat Type: They are meaty pigs with little fats e.g Berkshire, Chester white Duroc, Hampshire. Lard Type: These are small lardy pigs (composed of high percentage of fats). Bacon Type: They build sufficient muscles for desirable bacon (meat from the sides, belly, or back of a pig). Typical...

Scripture: Foundation Scripture: Joshua 24: 14-16 Joshua 24 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God. And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods. And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac. And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt. I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out. And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea. And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season. And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your...

KASUKDULAN Ang Digmaan sa Europe Sa kanlurang Europe, ang mga hukbong Pranses at Ingles ang nagabang sa likod ng Maginot Line. Hindi kaagad sumalakay dito ang mga Aleman pagkatapos nilang masakop ang Poland. Noong Abril 1940, ang Phony War ay biglang natapos sapagkat sinimulan ni Hitler ang kanyang blitzkrieg (biglaang paglusob na walang babala).

...LONG AGO AND NOT TRUE ANYWAY BLOGGING ABOUT INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, POLITICS AND LIVING WITH DISEASE. SUNDAY, OCTOBER 09, 2005 Four Fallacies of African Development Someone called Chris has placed a comment below my last little piece on aid and conditionality and, as is sometimes the case when he resists his impulse to troll, he has made some almost-sensible points. Or at least, points that have had much currency in the mainstream media and debates about international development. So I thought I’d take the time to discuss them here. In his post Chris wrote: ...the fact remains, Africa's problems are by and large internal…True, agricultural subsidies must be lifted by the US and the EU, but simply throwing aid money at the problem will ultimately come to no good. After all, even when African countries do possess sources of great wealth--diamonds in Sierra Leone and oil in Nigeria, for instance--those resources often end up being a curse on95% of the respective country's populace. On the other hand, a few nations have done better through internal improvements; Botswana is often cited as an example of this, but their 40% Aids rate--definitely attributable to rampant sexual activity--is impossible to overlook. Encapsulated in this spiel are what could be termed ‘the four great fallacies of the Africa Debate’. I’ll attend to each of these in turn. Fallacy 1 - Africa’s problems are by in large internal There’s no denying that some of Africa’s problems are internal...
