Book Synopsis Food Systems and Natural Resources by : United Nations Publications
Download or read book Food Systems and Natural Resources written by United Nations Publications and published by UN. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global food systems have radically changed over the last 50 years. Food production has more than doubled, diets have become more varied (and often more energy-intense) satisfying people’s preferences in terms of form, taste and quality, and numerous local, national and multi-national food-related enterprises have emerged providing livelihoods for millions. Nonetheless, over 800 million people are still hungry (70% of whom live in rural areas in developing countries), about two billion suffer from poor nutrition, and over two billion are overweight or obese. The resource use implications and environmental impacts of these food systems are significant. In general, of all economic activities, the food sector has by far the largest impact on natural resource use as well as on the environment. An estimated 60% of global terrestrial biodiversity loss is related to food production; food systems account for around 24% of the global greenhouse gas emissions and an estimated 33% of soils are moderately to highly degraded due to erosion, nutrient depletion, acidification, salinization, compaction and chemical pollution. The Food Systems working group of the International Resource Panel has prepared a comprehensive scientific assessment of the current status and dynamics of natural resource use in food systems and their environmental impacts. The IRP identifies opportunities for Resource Smart Food Systems responding to policy-relevant questions like what do sustainable food systems look like from a natural resource perspective? How can resource efficiency improvements be made to enhance food security? How to steer transition towards sustainable food systems? The report looks at food as a crucial connection point (a ‘node’) where various societal issues coincide, such as human dependence on natural resources, the environment, health and wellbeing. Rather than looking separately at resources such as land, water and minerals, the IRP has chosen a systems approach. The report looks at all the resources needed for the primary production of food, as well as for other food system activities (e.g. processing, distribution) considering not only the set of activities, but also the range of actors engaged in them and the outcomes in terms of food security, livelihoods and human health.

Book Synopsis In Plains Sight by : Bonnie Larson Straiger
Download or read book In Plains Sight written by Bonnie Larson Straiger and published by North Dakota State University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With taut, rigorous technique, Bonnie Larson Staiger tells a love story about the place and people of the northern plains, examining a variety of themes including long-lived relationships and an appreciation of landscape. "Bonnie Larson Staiger's superb new collection of poems is an eloquent language-map of a profound relationship with a particular place-its geography, history, climate, and inhabitants. By turns deeply moving and laugh-out-loud funny, these stunning poems dance us through the terrain of this relationship not of convenience-certainly 'risk-amputation-from-frostbite freaking cold' is anything but convenient-but of clear-eyed commitment. Her poems introduce us to the neighbors: 'the woman who always wears lilac perfume,' the roughneck 'who once found a guy's boots-his feet still inside,' and the meadowlark singing her 'throaty matins.' They show us that to stand rooted, even against 'incessant wind,' brings solace, comfort, and grace." -Kim Noriega, poet, teacher, and author of Name Me"The poems in Staiger's wonderful collection can be read for the pleasure that good poems reliably provide, but this gathering of verse offers an additional satisfaction, especially for readers who share her Great Plains heritage. Poem after poem provides a sense, both historical and experiential, of what it means to be from that part of the world where the power of the earth and its seasons are always on display." -Larry Watson, poet and author of Montana 1948, Let Him Go, As Good As Gone, and other novels.
Book Synopsis The Impact of a Sense of Belonging in College by : Erin Bentrim
Download or read book The Impact of a Sense of Belonging in College written by Erin Bentrim and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sense of belonging refers to the extent a student feels included, accepted, valued, and supported on their campus. The developmental process of belonging is interwoven with the social identity development of diverse college students. Moreover, belonging is influenced by the campus environment, relationships, and involvement opportunities as well as a need to master the student role and achieve academic success. Although the construct of sense of belonging is complex and multilayered, a consistent theme across the chapters in this book is that the relationship between sense of belonging and intersectionality of identity cannot be ignored, and must be integrated into any approach to fostering belonging.Over the last 10 years, colleges and universities have started grappling with the notion that their approaches to maintaining and increasing student retention, persistence, and graduation rates were no longer working. As focus shifted to uncovering barriers to student success while concurrently recognizing student success as more than solely academic factors, the term “student sense of belonging” gained traction in both academic and co-curricular settings. The editors noticed the lack of a consistent definition, or an overarching theoretical approach, as well as a struggle to connect disparate research. A compendium of research, applications, and approaches to sense of belonging did not exist, so they brought this book into being to serve as a single point of reference in an emerging and promising field of study.
Book Synopsis A Muddy Kind of Love by : Carolyn a. Dahl
Download or read book A Muddy Kind of Love written by Carolyn a. Dahl and published by North Dakota State University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-12 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young girl dreams of becoming a circus performer and riding pink elephants in a sequined gown. A young boy hopes to use magic, a divining rod, to find his grandfather's trunk of gold buried on their land, so family stories say. But their exotic dreams eventually turn into the simpler life of farmers, though their simple life is never simple. Their many stories are told in poems with achingly and powerfully expressive language in Carolyn Dahl's chapbook, A Muddy Kind of Love. The author truly cares for these people and so will the reader as she pays tribute to their disappearing lifestyles, their hardships and sorrows, and their respectful relationships with animals. Over the years, they come to understand that the land is their real gold. That what they see in their common, everyday work life is as curious, and as beautiful as any staged circus performer's life.A Muddy Kind of Love is the winner of the 2020 Poetry of the Plains & Prairies Award, hosted by North Dakota State University Press.

It caused the deaths of seven children and five adults and left 116 injured. The tornado destroyed 359 buildings and damaged 2,543 more. The nine-mile path of destruction covered over 66 blocks in town, leaving more than 2,000 people homeless and causing approximately $20 million worth of damage. Following the tornado, first responders quickly united to aid those in need, setting up disaster headquarters, finding shelter for over 600 people, and distributing more than 100 tons of clothing and bedding. Dr. Tetsuya Fujita, a meteorologist, studied the Fargo tornado when creating the Fujita scale (F-scale) and later rated it an F5, the most destructive rating. Images of America: 1957 Fargo Tornado, shines a light on the tornado's destruction and the rebuilding of a united and vibrant community.
