SUMMARY:FAO e-conference: ‘Utilization of Food Loss and Waste as well as Non-Food Parts as Livestock Feed’
DESCRIPTION:From 1 to 30 October 2015\, the Livestock Production Systems Branch of Animal Production and Health Division\, FAO will host\, as part of the “Save Food” initiative\, an e-conference on “Utilization of Food Loss and Waste as well as Non-Food Parts as Livestock Feed“. \nWhy this e-conference\nApproximately 1.3-1.6 Gtonnes of food is lost or wasted globally every year\, which is estimated to have enormous environmental (ca 3.3 Gtonnes of CO2 eq. greenhouse gas emission/year\, 305 cubic km water/year\, 1.5 billion ha land to grow food that is wasted)\, social (936 billion US$) and economic (1055 billion US$) costs. Also the food loss and waste has an impact on food security\, natural resource availability\,  and local and national economies. FAO through the “Save Food” initiative is working with partners to develop\, plan and implement initiatives for efficient use of resources and harmonization of methodologies\, strategies and approaches. Globally many plant resources are being used either as food or as animal feed. This dual purpose use raises questions how to consider a change of utilization of plant resources from food to animal feed within the context of food losses and waste. Similarly if food gets lost or wasted a part of these losses can be converted to animal feed. \nFAO is in the process of developing a framework and an action plan on ‘Food Loss and Waste plus Non-Food Part to Livestock Feed’ with the objective to develop criteria for setting the boundaries between dual purpose use and food loss\, and to enhance animal feed availability without compromising animal health and welfare and animal product safety and quality\, and meeting legislative requirements. \nAims\nThe aim of the e-conference is to seek guidance on: \n\nthe aims\, scope and boundaries of the framework;\nimplementation of the framework\, and\nrole of different stakeholders\, from academia\, feed and food industries\, civil societies\, policy makers\, extension workers to farmers in the implementation.\n\nHow to join\nThe e-conference is open to all persons interested in the topic\, is free (there is no registration fee) and will be moderated. \nTo join the e-mail conference\, send an e-mail to (function(){var ml="nf3a-m0hkFl%v.CctD4AeiEosgr2"\,mi=";2>3;K67JD1;2A;KK53E:@G;2C:EH@HDJ

SUMMARY:Age of Wonderland 2015
DESCRIPTION:“Food is the primary medium through which we express our humanity. Food production\, its distribution and preparation\, and its symbolic strength in times of crisis as well as abundance\, is the main influence on how we experience and give shape to our culture. We paint and sculpt our world with food.” (Arne Hendriks\, artist & curator Age of Wonderland ‘15) \nAge of Wonderland ‘Balancing Green and Fair Food’ co-organized by Hivos and Baltan Laboratories\, addresses the complex issues ingrained in our globalised food system by inviting six experts from across the world to exchange knowledge. \nAge of Wonderland challenges creative thinkers\, doers\, inventors\, artists and designers\, to reflect on the processes of food production\, consumption\, and distribution. Six creatives selected from Africa\, Asia and Latin America take on the issues at hand\, and share their perspectives on our global food systems. They further their research in Eindhoven with the local community as well as professionals to explore relationships between food and environmental\, technological\, economic and social concerns. \nThe playful interactions between the different topics stimulates an exchange of ideas\, reflecting on food as a story of hope\, a connection with others and a way to positively shape the issues in our society. The research processes are shared openly and dynamically\, inviting peers\, professionals and other curious minds to tap into the pool of ideas as staged during Age of Wonderland. Through the main exhibition as well as presentations\, discussions\, workshops and pop up (food) labs\, Age of Wonderland becomes a change agent for transcultural thinking and doing. Each day will feature a dedicated topic\, connected to the undercurrents of this edition of Age of Wonderland. \nOne of the seminars organized during the Age of Wonderland was the “Future Food Seminar: from challenge to design”: please download the report (PDF) here. \nPlease visit the website for an overview of the Agenda & Events. \n
