In discussing the relationship between food and sustainability, three main points must be made. First, food is fundamental to sustainability. For a long time food has operated in the shadows of energy, LEED construction, and other physical aspects of sustainability.

Ghana is characterized by a youthful population, rapid population growth, uneven population distribution, high fertility, and rural-urban migration which has brought human numbers into collision with resources to sustain ...

We apply a new version of multiscale convergence named very weak multiscale convergence to find possible frequencies of oscillation in an unknown coefficient of a partial differential equation from its solution. We also use this notion to study homogenization of a certain linear parabolic problem with multiple spatial and temporal scales. 1 Department of engineering and sustainable development,...
