The meaning of music at a large farm during the inter-war periodThis article investigates music as culture from a historical, ethno-musicological perspective. Jens Henrik Koudal bases his work on the preserved music collection and large private archives of Christian Olsen (1881–1968), who was born and spent most of his life on the farm Torpelund in Zealand, Denmark. From Olsen’s collection, it is possible to make a historical reconstruction of the rich musical life that took place on the farm, and the purpose of the article is to examine what the musical activities meant to the Olsen family’s social and cultural identity; i.e., both their self-conceptualisation and their marking of identity towards their surroundings. The article’s method is rooted in a ‘broad’ concept of culture, along with Christopher Small’s concept ‘musicking’ and new musicology’s tendency to focus on the practice of music-making rather than on ‘great’ composers and books of music. Torpelund is compared to similar settings in England (e.g., East Suffolk around 1900, according to Carole Pegg) and Western concert halls (around 1980, according to Christopher Small).During the inter-war period, the Olsen family gathered together a circle of diverse people, including relatives, friends, business connections and other musicians, who all participated in the “musicking” as equals. Their repertoire consisted of classical and romantic art music from c. 1780–1890, plus the family’s old folk-dancing music (arranged by members of the family). In its own opinion, the circle’s music-making was a ‘higher’ kind of music that established clear distinctions towards lower social classes, towards other races (e.g., blacks with their ragtime and jazz) and towards modern music (e.g., art music and popular music). Specific to Torpelund are three concepts, which also characterise the social and cultural identity of the Olsen family: conservatism, privacy and exclusivity. The musical practices of the Olsens at Torpelund indicate that, during the inter-war period, the family represented a particular amalgamation of the peasant family, the part of the country (northwestern Zealand) and an international, middle-class education.

Salgado de Snyder, Velia Nelly, Marisol McDaniel, Amado M. Padilla e Deborah Parra-Medina. "Impact of COVID-19 on Latinos: A Social Determinants of Health Model and Scoping Review of the Literature". Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, 21 settembre 2021, 073998632110412. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/07399863211041214.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The purpose of this scoping review of the literature was to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the living conditions of Latinos (Hispanics) in the U.S. from a social determinants of health perspective. We developed a conceptual model based on the social determinants of health framework to guide the search, extraction, analysis, and interpretation of the bibliographic material. A systematic review of peer reviewed literature published in 2020 in scientific journals in the social, health, and behavioral sciences was conducted. A total of 37 articles met the selection criteria, 12 were original investigations with primary data collection, and 25 were studies reporting results of secondary data analysis using public or private databases. The representation of Latinos in the study samples ranged from 5% to 40%. The results of our review are compelling in terms of the overrepresentation of Latinos in SARSCoV-2 positivity and COVID-19 morbidity and mortality rates. The risk factors identified include working in a job considered essential, living in a geographic area with a high population density of Latinos and blacks, overcrowded living conditions in the household, limited English proficiency, and being unable to systematically carry out preventive behaviors known to be effective for infection avoidance. Existing national surveys and registries suffer from assumptions and omissions regarding variables relevant to Latinos. New studies must be guided by inquiries on the usual social determinants of health, but also those relevant for Latinos, such as national group, generational status, and language, among others.

Childs, Kristopher. "A Comparison of Students' and Parents' Mathematics Attitudes and Achievement At A Private Historically Black University". Doctoral diss., University of Central Florida, 2013. http://digital.library.ucf.edu/cdm/ref/collection/ETD/id/6255.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The focus of this research was to compare students' and their parents' mathematical attitudes using the Attitudes Towards Mathematics Instrument (ATMI). The sample consisted of 476 newly-enrolled students and 263 parents attending the New Student Orientation and Leadership program at a private historically black university. The sample was predominantly African American, with 96% of the students and 95% of the parents identifying themselves as African American. The ATMI total score and subscale scores of self-confidence, value, enjoyment, and motivation were explored to determine if there was a relationship between the mathematics attitudes of students enrolled at a private historically black university and their parents'. Analysis was conducted to determine if there was a relationship between the students' mathematics academic achievement as demonstrated on the ACT/SAT by the mathematics subset score and their mathematics attitude. Additional analysis was conducted to determine if there was a relationship between students' mathematics academic achievement as demonstrated on the ACT/SAT by the mathematics subset score and their parents' mathematics attitude. The researcher found a statistically significant relationship between mathematics attitudes of students and their mothers as measured by the ATMI total score and subscales: self-confidence, value, enjoyment, and motivation. The researcher found a statistically significant relationship between mathematics attitudes of students and their fathers as measured by the ATMI motivation subscale. No statistically significant relationship was found between students' mathematics academic achievement as demonstrated on the ACT/SAT by the mathematics subset score and their parents' mathematics attitude total score or the subscale scores. A statistically significant relationship between students' academic achievement and their attitudes towards mathematics total score and subscale scores: self-confidence, value, enjoyment, and motivation was found in this research. The findings of this study provide a line of research to further explore mathematics attitudes and its relationship to African American student achievement.Ph.D.

AbstractVision Zero has a central role in traffic safety in Germany. Finally, it was even a relevant point in the coalition treaty from the Federal Governing Parties in the year 2018.It is a unifying theme for safety measures taken on the federal, state, and local levels and in private, nonprofit traffic safety organizations. In later years, cooperation between these different agents has been intensified. Evaluation and measurability are essential in the German approach to Vision Zero. One example of this is the statistical work performed every year to identify “zero cities,” i.e., cities that had zero road fatalities the previous year. A yearly award puts focus on cities that have a particularly long string of zero years, in relation to their size. This is performed on an international level, and cities around the world are incentivized by these recognitions. Munich is used as an example of a city that has recently stepped up its traffic safety work. The city has adopted Vision Zero and followed up this with intensified traffic safety work, including improved data collection, the identification of accident black spots, targeted measures to improve safety in these black spots, safety audits of new infrastructure plans, etc. Before the introduction of new traffic technologies which may have an impact on safety, in-depth technology assessment has to be performed. This is illustrated by an example in which sufficient prior technology assessment did not take place, namely the introduction of e-scooters in Germany. After their introduction, they have turned out to be significantly more dangerous than bicycles, as can be seen from the statistics of fatalities and severe injuries. Proposals are made for measures are needed to reverse this trend, including obligatory use of helmets. The dialogue with neighbor states is also essential. Here the Traffic Expert Society of Medical and Technical Biomechanics, gmttb (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland= D A CH), has initiated to discuss and bundle basic principles of the Vision Zero in three neighbor countries. To promote Vision Zero, gmttb also organizes interdisciplinary yearly conferences with experts from Austria (Vision Zero is a state philosophy) and Switzerland (here named Via Sicura) to bundle strength and adopt ideas together with Swedish and multinational experts. As well as a yearly gmttb Vision Zero Safety Award is granted to motivate people, organizations, and manufacturers to promote good ideas for better traffic safety.

Abstract During the 1980s and 1990s, a slowdown in federal and state support for the care of the poor and decreasing reimbursements for the privately insured led to an increase in uncompensated care costs for American hospitals. To recoup some of their debts, hospitals and doctors’ offices began to provide less charity-care, turned more patients away at their doors (particularly Black patients and pregnant women), and relied increasingly on collections agencies. Initially, hospitals were wary of sending bills to collections, in part for fear of bad press, but soon the practice became common throughout the country. Medical debt was fast becoming a significant portion of the work of debt collectors, whose phone calls and letters and visits became a recurring feature of the lives of poor patients. By the mid-2000s, hospitals were no longer just assigning debt to collection agencies but selling it outright to private debt buyers.

The organizing essay of the collection presents the important concept of sexual economy of slavery. It examines the ways that slavery's sexual and racial subordination converged around the bodies of enslaved black women. It documents slavery as a "sexual political economy" to make explicit the connections between its markets, labor structure, and sexual exploitation. It designates slavery a sexual economy to foreground slavery's gender hierarchies and mechanisms of subordination as well as to show how slavery offered early illustrations of the social construction and fluidity of gender and the false dichotomy between public and private relations. In sum, the chapter demonstrates that race, sex, and slavery combined to produce an entirely different notion of intimacy and sexual anxieties and how those were managed and reproduced.

<em>Abstract</em>.—Suwannee Bass <em>Micropterus notius</em> have one of the smallest ranges of all the black basses. For decades, they were believed to only inhabit the Ochlockonee and Suwannee River drainages in Florida and Georgia. Over the past 15 years, additional populations have been discovered in the Wacissa, Wakulla, and St. Marks rivers in Florida, leading to speculation that these populations were created in the late 20th century through unsanctioned angler releases. Tissue samples were collected from Suwannee Bass inhabiting six streams in northern Florida in order to investigate this possibility and resolve genetic relationships across the species range. Nuclear DNA variation (11 polymorphic microsatellite loci and three allozyme loci) indicated that there was significant genetic differentiation between the fish inhabiting the Suwannee River drainage and those from the four streams to the west (i.e., the Ochlockonee River collection plus the three recently discovered populations). Analysis of molecular variance found that more than half of the nuclear genetic variation was partitioned between these two groups of collections. The fish from the two regions also had different ND2 gene sequences and private restriction fragment length polymorphism haplotypes. The consistent pattern of differentiation in the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes indicates that there are two stocks or subspecies of Suwannee Bass within the species range. The recently discovered populations were found to be genetically similar to fish from the Ochlockonee River and displayed genetic signals consistent with founding effects, as would be expected if these populations had originated from the release of a small number of individuals (potentially by anglers). However, the Ochlockonee River had similar genetic signatures, providing an example of a natural population of Suwannee Bass that is likely to have experienced natural bottlenecks due to low population size.

Abstract Famously, when it was first printed in 1609, Shakespeare’s Sonnet 126 appeared to lack a closing couplet. This is an example of apparently missing text, which is the theme of this chapter. Are such examples evidence of mistakes or are they deliberate manipulations of empty space? Texts printed with conspicuous gaps operated as invitations to the reader to supplement what seems to have been mislaid or (perhaps) was never confected in the first place. The use of lunulae or empty brackets in stage plays and poetry is explored, which, in turn, helps to contextualize the gap found at the end of Shakespeare’s sonnet. Shakespeare’s sonnets are discussed more generally in relation to page layout, and the economics of print publication in the period. Finally, the chapter examines the circulation of sonnet collections in both print and manuscript form, showing how Shakespeare’s sonnets were primarily imagined as texts to be circulated as private manuscript rather than in the more public realm of print.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Debt actions represented one the most common types of lawsuits people of color initiated. Black moneylenders were regular participants in the credit economy of the slave South. Free people of color, in particular, repeatedly extended loans in various amounts to both white and black people. When the sums went unpaid, free black creditors sued borrowers to recoup the money owed. In the Natchez district, a world in which blackness symbolized dependency and whiteness independence, white debtors were bound to black creditors. The legal mechanisms involving debt collection favored lenders—even when those lenders were black. Under such circumstances, the courts could serve as a place where the social and racial relations of a slave society were temporarily suspended, insofar as their suspension furthered the goal of preserving private property. This chapter examines debt recovery from its inception (the loan) to its discharge (whether through payment or execution). The process itself was loaded with symbolic weight, for in the antebellum South, it invoked a set of highly charged ideas about virtue, ethics, membership, and race.

With this chapter, the author sheds light on the experiences of a Black woman hired to create, administer, and manage the day-to-day needs of diversity offices at two small, white private liberal arts universities. The chapter will include insights on the very racism and implicit bias the author experienced, reported, and helped diminish. The chapter also describes the seemingly impossible task of managing change and transformation on private institutions rooted in white supremacist traditions and built upon a history of exclusion. To do this, the author shares personal narratives from colleagues collected via online surveys. The author describes the personal angst experienced while collecting, reporting, and managing the many micro-aggressions, experiences with racism, transphobia, and other reported biases. The author considers the mental gymnastics necessary to serve the needs of the institution and attempt to protect personal integrity and sanity.

Abstract IRST published in 1854,Joshua McCarter Simpson’s The Emancipation Car, Being an Original Composition ef Anti Slavery Ballads is a remarkable collection of three prayers, two essays, and fifty-two abolitionist songs set to popular “airs,” including ‘‘America” (“My Country ‘Tis of Thee”), “Marseilles’ Hymn,” and “Hail Columbia.” In Simpson’s opening “Note to the Public, by the Author,” he tells the story of his slow maturation into an abolitionist, his slow realization that those whom he once saw as “fools, devils, mischief-makers, ” were in fact fighting for justice. Simpson was a “free black” in Morgan County, Ohio, where as a child he “served under a hard master until twenty-one years old,” after which he attended Oberlin Collegiate Institute. In writing his abolitionist songbook, then, Simpson was culminating a climb from “believing that it was all right for us to be slaves” to fighting for abolition, from the drudgery of manual labor to the thrill of cultural production, from the privacy of his own doubts and fears to the self-revealing and self-creating sphere of public participation. Simpson’s use of songs to facilitate this wonderful series of transformations is based on his belief that “you can sing what would be death to speak.”

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Extortion has become normalized, to such a degree that it is already part of Mexican culture. In Mexico there is an extorted society. When the extortionist obtains a benefit, money, property, or services by coercing or threatening through physical violence, property destruction, or personal injury, extortion becomes theft. Extortion has become an easy and quick source of financing for organized crime structures, governments and political organizations, including political parties, since it is highly profitable and generates fewer material, economic and human losses. "The intuition that only organized crime extorts through violence, kidnapping or threats is false, it also does so through the collection of fees and dues. And it is not only organized crime, but the government itself and its institutions, as well as private companies that are also part of this harmful practice. It all begins, however, in the individual sphere where extortion has become common in everyday life. Accepting illegitimate payment for parking in a public space or being subjected to having your car scratched? Paying for garbage to be collected or putting up with it being left and accumulating on the street? Pay an official to do the procedure quickly or wait weeks or even months? To pay weekly or monthly dues to criminal groups or to be a victim of violent threats? Offering a juicy tip as a mechanism to gain access to a privilege to which one is not entitled?" (De la Calle, 2020) In general, there are two types of extortion, telephone extortion, which is one of the most common crimes and the one that most worries the public security authorities in Mexico, many of them are committed from inside prisons, and face-to-face extortion, which is when the extortionist appears directly at the workplace identifying himself as a member of a criminal organization to charge for the security service or only so as not to do harm, so he threatens to deprive a family member or the victim himself of his life or damage the establishment. This type of extortion is the least investigated because it requires a person to report this crime. The crime of extortion has a 97.4% black figure, that is, it is not reported to the state prosecutors' offices or prosecutors' offices for fear of reprisals from criminals dedicated to extortion or if the authority is involved. Most people, not having enough resources to file a complaint against the crime of extortion, prefer to make a payment, a gift or a moche to a corrupt official or a criminal, since the cost can be much higher than that implied by the initial threat: lawyers, paperwork, etc. risks and wasted time.

Google Search identifies users online by collecting personal data—including an IP address, yet when using the Tor browser, a users’ IP address remains obscured. Black Box versus Black Bloc employs Alexander Galloway’s eponymous essay to structure the effects of Google Search (The Personalised Subject) compared to that of the Tor Browser (The Anonymous User). Departing from the "data subject," I adopt the internet protocol (IP) address as an organisational hinge to show the effects of search on (us)ers—"subjectivities of search" and "agencies of anonymity," organised into ‘collaborative collectives’ according to degrees of human-algorithmic interaction. The key difference is that I choose to be in the "anonymous Tor collective," trusting my privacy to unknown human actors instead of putting trust in Google that assigns me to particular groups through their non-transparent process of collaborative filtering, without human agency.

Two new graffiti found out in the course of archaeological researcher in “The Upper City” at Phanagoria are published in the article. Both they are dated to the Late Archaic time and relate to private life of the city. The first one is cut on an amphora wall in the shape of rectangle and consists of two lines: 1. Εὔβιος | πυγίσαι – Eubios has indulged in pederasty. It includes one of the earliest case in using of πυγίζω in the ancient Greek world. The second graffito is a private note, cutting on the bottom of black-ware cylix. Its author blames Nysa for something: 1. [Ὦ ἀγα]θὴ Νῦσα. | Ἇ, Ἇ, Ἇ, Ἇ, Ἇ. | Ναί, – Pretty Nysa. Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Yes, exactly! The graffiti have enriched the epigraphical collection in Phanagoria new evidence concerning to anthroponomical data and private relations in the city in the late VI – the first quarter V BC.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate adherence to adjuvant endocrine therapy in women with early breast cancer and explore its relationships with patients’ clinical and social characteristics and site of treatment. Methodology: Women with a past history of early-stage estrogen-receptor-positive invasive carcinoma of the breast on adjuvant endocrine therapy for at least 6 months were invited to participate in this study. Adherence was assessed with the questionnaire MMAS8. Demographic and clinical information was reviewed from medical records. Data collection was performed using the RedCap software, and statistical analyses were performed using the R software (R Core Team, 2022). Results: From June 2021 to March 2023, a total of 212 patients were recruited in 6 institutions. The median age was 56 years. Notably, 29.2% were black, 24.1% were premenopause, 38.2% had stage I disease, 65.1% received chemotherapy, and 16.5% received HER2 blockade. The mean duration of endocrine therapy use was 3.7 years. A total of 115 (54.2%) patients used aromatase inhibitors. Notably, 24 (11.4%) patients had low adherence, 76 (36.5%) had intermediate, and 111 (52.6%) had high adherence to adjuvant endocrine therapy. There is a tendency that more postmenopausal women were classified in high adherence grupo than premenopausal women (55.9% vs. 42% p=0.19). There is a tendency that more women in public service had higher adherence than women in private service (59.3% vs. 50.3% p=0.07). There was no difference in adherence in relation to ethnicity and type/duration of endocrine treatment. Conclusion: This study for the first time shows that high adherence to endocrine therapy only happens in 52.6% of patients, lower than reported in previous studies. This result draws attention because it can compromise survival. We will continue the recruitment of patients in the private service and in the public service to assess the rate of adherence in a larger population and the relationship with demographic characteristics.

In Romania, near the Black Sea are two Natural Reservations lakes with salt water, Techirghiol, and Mangalia nowadays confronted with new environmental issues. Lake never freezes. Under these conditions, there are always birds in transit or in wintering; some of them protected species as endangered. There are no known or available solutions at present that can be used here, without disturbing the biological balance. This paper presents a prototype, patent pending in Romania, which has achieved significant results in protection of the natural environment. The prototype is an autonomous pilot station, placed on a mobile pontoon, powered by photovoltaic panels. It can collect and partially dry the aquatic vegetation developed in excess due to eutrophication. The harvested vegetation is used as the biomass resource to warm the Research Centre on shore, the greenhouse for the protected plant species and the poultry incubator. The prototype now is implemented in Techirghiol Lake as to diminish the local environmental problems: the massive mass of vegetation, the invasive species that appeared, as the invertebrates, the interference scallops, and the predator fish. Due to the permanent decreasing the number of the specific fish, all bird colonies are affected. The proposed solution is innovative, perfect ecological and energetic independent. The mobile pontoon is commanded from distance. The solar panels ensure the pontoon movement and the supply of the collecting, compacting, and partially drying the vegetation. The detailed functioning of the prototype is further detailed presented. The main advantage of this solution is that the vegetation can be collected during the entire period of vegetation without disturbing the biologic environmental, nests period of construction, laying eggs, rearing birds, etc. A second major advantage is that the extracted vegetation can be consumed immediately and integrally into a biomass power plant. The third advantage of this technology is that the platform is placed on a mobile pontoon energetically independent, entirely automated and with a constant adaptation of the operating parameters in accordance with climatic conditions. This innovative solution is accordance to the Romanian reply for EU Council Directives, UE EUCO 75/13 CO EUR 7 signed in Brussels at 22/05/2013, referring to the promotion of the new solutions based on utilization of renewable technology with environmental effects. The prototype has a multi- and a cross-disciplinary character due to the main components. It represents a powerful applicative research requested and co-financed by the National Authorities and the private sector, as to solve this problem appeared into these Natural Reservations.

Jameel, Yusuf, Paul West e Daniel Jasper. Reducing Black Carbon: A Triple Win for Climate, Health, and Well-Being. Project Drawdown, novembre 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.55789/y2c0k2p3.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Black carbon – also referred to as soot – is a particulate matter that results from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass. As a major air and climate pollutant, black carbon (BC) emissions have widespread adverse effects on human health and climate change. Globally, exposure to unhealthy levels of particulate matter, including BC, is estimated to cause between three and six million excess deaths every year. These health impacts – and the related economic losses – are felt disproportionately by those living in low- and middle-income countries. Furthermore, BC is a potent greenhouse gas with a short-term global warming potential well beyond carbon dioxide and methane. Worse still, it is often deposited on sea ice and glaciers, reducing reflectivity and accelerating melting, particularly in the Arctic and Himalayas. Therefore, reducing BC emissions results in a triple win, mitigating climate change, improving the lives of more than two billion people currently exposed to unclean air, and saving trillions of dollars in economic losses. Today, the majority of BC emissions stem from just a handful of sectors and countries. Over 70% of BC comes from the residential and transportation sectors, with the latter being the dominant source in high-income countries and the former driving emissions in low- and middle-income nations. On a country-level, China and India are the biggest emitters accounting for one-third of global BC emissions. When combined with Brazil, Indonesia, and Nigeria, these five countries alone emit 50% of all BC. While BC emissions trends over the past 20 years have been inconsistent globally, there has been a notable decline in Europe, North America, and China. Conversely, emissions have been rising in regions like Africa, South Asia, and Central Asia. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recommends deep reductions in BC emissions by 2030 to achieve the Paris Climate Agreement goal of limiting warming to below 1.5°C, yet very few countries have addressed BC in their climate plans. Fortunately, solutions that can rapidly reduce BC emissions by the end of this decade are readily available. By implementing the right policies, deploying targeted interventions in hotspots, and redirecting climate finance, policymakers and funders can mitigate the climate effects of BC while saving millions of lives and trillions of dollars. Below are key recommendations to achieve these aims based on the findings of this report: Urgently implement clean cooking solutions Providing clean cooking fuels and technologies in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, especially in the hotspots of the Indo-Gangetic Plains, Nigeria, and Uganda, can significantly reduce BC emissions. Countries with low penetration of clean cooking fuel must urgently develop policies that make clean cooking a priority for health and climate. Target transportation to reduce current – and prevent future – emissions Retrofitting older diesel engines with diesel particulate filters can remove up to 95% of BC. Countries around the world must implement policies to phase out polluting vehicles, set emission standards, and accelerate the uptake of EVs and hybrids, especially in urban regions where transportation demand is growing rapidly. A successful shift to EVs demands national investments complemented with international financing and private capital. Multilateral development banks need to play a pivotal role in this transition, with strategies like concessional finance to fast-track key projects and stimulate private sector investment. Reduce BC from the shipping industry BC emissions from the shipping industry must be urgently reduced to protect the Arctic ecosystem. Shifting shipping away from heavy fuel oil and equipping ships with diesel particulate filters is a cost-effective approach that would quickly and significantly reduce emissions. Regulate air quality Stringent emissions standards, clean air laws, baselines, and mandatory monitoring programs can effectively reduce BC emissions. Such policies have already resulted in large reductions in Europe, North America, and, more recently, China. However, several low- and middle-income countries have no legal protection for ambient air quality and lack legislatively-mandated standards. Implementing strong and legally binding policies can result in a large decrease in BC emissions, particularly across the transportation and industry sectors. Include BC in nationally determined contributions and the UNFCCC Only 12 countries have explicitly addressed BC in their nationally determined contributions (NDCs). This limited focus on BC is partly due to its omission from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s (UNFCCC) list of climate pollutants, an oversight that should be reconsidered given that reducing BC would save countless lives and slow global warming. As nations review their NDCs by 2025, they must incorporate BC reduction efforts to meet climate and well-being targets. Improve BC measurements and estimates BC estimates are plagued by uncertainties. Therefore, there is an urgent need for more accurate inventories in order to develop better emission reduction plans. Stakeholders must collaborate to develop a consistent BC measurement protocol, prioritize the collection of high-quality data, and use state of the art models to enhance estimates and reduce uncertainties.

Opportunities and drivers for SME agribusinesses to reduce food loss in Africa and Asia. Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness (CASA), 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.1079/20240191175.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Climate change, conflict, and the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath have caused a sharp increase in food insecurity globally. Reducing food loss - a decrease in the quantity and/or quality of food that takes place from production through to processing - in places where food insecurity is most severe has the potential to be a win-win for food security, climate outcomes, and for commercially driven agribusinesses. This report reviews the common drivers of food loss in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, which include inadequate storage, lack of cold chain, and poor post-harvest and distribution practices. It then highlights five technologies or approaches which have the potential to address food loss, and which are appropriate for agricultural small and medium-sized enterprises (agri-SMEs) operating in much of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, which face particular challenges (e.g. an unreliable electrical grid and fragmented value chains). Finally, the report highlights the main barriers to adoption and scale for these technologies and approaches, and identifies opportunities for governments, development partners, investors, and technology manufacturers to improve their uptake among agri-SMEs. The five technologies and approaches covered in this report are as follows: Decentralization of processing using solar dryers: The decentralization of primary food processing, in which some portion of value addition is undertaken close to the farm gate by farmers or SMEs, can have multiple benefits, including reducing food loss, lowering transport costs, and increasing rural incomes. Solar drying technology can enable this model, particularly in areas where there is a tradition of sun drying fruits and vegetables and there is a viable domestic or regional market for these products. Successful models typically involve an agribusiness off-taker who works with farmers and SME producers, providing technology and services (e.g., guaranteed off-take, training etc.) that ensure the production of high-quality produce. Hermetic storage (e.g. bags and cocoons): This maturing technology is increasingly available in local markets and represents a potentially easy-to-implement solution which could help to substantially address food loss during storage - where most loss occurs - for key staple grains. Cost and usage remain challenges for smallholders, with greater potential for small- to medium-scale traders and aggregators in rural areas with limited storage infrastructure. By creating a hypoxic environment around the produce, these solutions can achieve 100% insect mortality and reduce the growth of mould and aflatoxins. Bags are more appropriate for agri-SMEs involved in distribution, whereas cocoons (i.e. storage containers consisting of two plastic halves joined together by an airtight zip) are more useful for those storing large volumes for periods of six months or longer. Off-grid cold storage (e.g. solar-powered cold rooms): Innovative technologies and delivery mechanisms are still being tested in markets in India, Nigeria, and Kenya. Despite the high upfront cost, there are several examples of agri-SMEs and co-operatives achieving payback periods of as little as two years across a range of fruit and vegetable value chains, with returns driven by reductions in food loss and improved pricing due to better quality of the produce. Cooling as a service business models also offer the potential to reach smaller agri-SMEs and micro-entrepreneurs operating in informal rural and peri-urban value chains, but their application is limited to high-value crops that are generally out of the reach of the rural poor. Agri-ecommerce platforms: Agri-ecommerce platforms are a well-developed technology that aims to reduce food loss by improving the availability of information on market demand for farmers. Technology providers can also engage in logistics, warehousing, and quality control, taking collection of the produce from rural-based hubs, combining it at a central packing house, and delivering to urban retailers. Models of this kind have scaled more effectively in South Asia than sub-Saharan Africa, where they are constrained by poor road and logistics infrastructure. Waste-to-value approaches: Waste-to-value or circular economy approaches have the potential to reduce food loss by utilizing bruised or damaged fruits and vegetables which are unable to be sold as intended as inputs into other food products. Although the application of these approaches to the production of products such as condiments and oils is popular, they are unlikely to have a material impact on food security. However, models such as using black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) to produce animal feed (after consuming the food waste) are more promising, with a range of related technologies and business models operating in markets in both Africa and Asia. The main barriers to the success and scaling up of these technologies and approaches include a lack of knowledge and awareness of their commercial benefits, a lack of finance for manufacturers and agri-SME customers, a need for further research and development (R&D) and business model innovation (e.g. to bring down cost), and a lack of supportive policies and regulatory frameworks. Policymakers, development partners, investors, and the private sector can all play important roles in addressing these barriers.
