Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Food Waste and Model Food Waste Compounds

Solid waste is generated at a rate of more than 4 lb per person per day. A significant portion of the non-recyclable waste is food waste, with high water content and low energy density. While most thermochemical conversion processes require a relatively dry feedstock, hydrothermal liquefaction uses subcritical water as the reaction medium and is therefore compatible with high-moisture feedstock...

MNC’s and poverty alleviation: a conceptual framework

International development institutions appear to accept the role of business in global development challenges such as poverty alleviation. In 2003 the World Bank was reportedly ‘convinced’ that the private sector has a role to play in the fight against poverty (Wolfensohn 2003, p.19). The 2008 ‘Business and the Millennium Development Goals’ (MDGs) report highlights a consensus within the United...

Food Systems and Food Security: A Conceptual Model for Identifying Food System Deficiencies

This research briefly describes a conceptual model of hunger and food insecurity that utilizes integrative conceptual work on food systems, identifying key food subsystems and processes involved in the transformation of environmental inputs into individual and population health outcomes. Our model identifies system and individual-level barriers affecting the primary food subsystems, with emphas...
