Strengthening resilience for food security and nutrition
This paper presents a simple conceptual framework to inform the understanding, scope and modalities for the Rome-based Agencies (RBAs) 1 to support the resilience of food-insecure people in relation to shocks that affect their livelihoods and food systems. The framework provides a way for the agencies to seek and build complementary alignment across existing agency-specific approaches to suppor...
متن کاملTowards Designing an Ontology Encompassing the Environment-agriculture-food-diet-health Knowledge Spectrum for Food System Sustainability and Resilience
Feeding 9 billion people is not solely a matter of food, health, nutrition, and the environment. Promoting human health by increasing the sustainability and resilience of food systems requires integrating information from a broad range of disciplines from human nutrition/health systems and agricultural/natural systems to social, financial, physical and political systems. Ontologies serve to spe...
متن کاملNutrition for parasite management
Considerable experimental evidence suggests that supplementation with protein can enhance both immune responsiveness and resilience of sheep to infection with gastrointestinal nematode parasites. Practical application of this knowledge is an objective of the Australian Sheep Industry CRC. Field trials were carried out in NSW, WA and SA targeting the most susceptible classes of sheep, i.e., youn...
متن کاملInteractive effects of protein nutrition, genetic growth potential and Heligmosomoides bakeri infection pressure on resilience and resistance in mice.
The ability of animals to cope with an increasing parasite load, in terms of resilience and resistance, may be affected by both nutrient supply and demand. Here, we hypothesized that host nutrition and growth potential interact and influence the ability of mice to cope with different parasite doses. Mice selected for high (ROH) or low (ROL) body weight were fed a low (40 g/kg; LP) or high (230 ...
متن کاملTowards the development of an ecophysiological Daphnia model to examine effects of toxicity and nutrition
Freshwater ecosystems are highly susceptible to mercury (Hg) deposition, which impacts biotic health and leads to serious consequences through biomagnification. The keystone zooplankter, Daphnia, exerts disproportionate effects on food web dynamics, displaying high sensitivity to natural stressors, and thus serving as an indicator of the broader impairments of aquatic ecosystems. Combined with ...
