Food (in)security communication: a Journal of Applied Communication Research forum addressing current challenges and future possibilities

ABSTRACT

This forum brings together food, (in)security, and communication. The authors participating in this forum center communication as both process and tool for understanding, mitigating, and making meaning of food (in)security. The nine authors together discuss the role of communication in food (in)security, the central challenges for scholars and practitioners working on food (in)security, and the creative possibilities and impacts influencing the future of food (in)security. The forum produces a call for applied scholars to re-imagine communication frameworks in order to make meaningful differences in their communities.

食物浓度及低浓度镉对水螅种群动态的影响

在温度为20士1℃、自然光照(光照强度约为301x,L : D=14 : 10)条件下,分别以浓度为0.25ind/ml、0.5ind/ml、1.0ind/ml、2.0ind/ml枝角类(Cladocemans)为食物及在1.0ind/ml食物浓度下,应用单个体培养法及群体累积培养法研究了食物浓度及低浓度镉离子(0mg/l(对照组)、0.01mg/l、0.05mg/1)对水螅种群动态的影响.实验表明,食物浓度对水螅种群增长有一定影响,在较高食物浓度下水螅的种群增长率、净增长率普遍提高,而镉子浓度对水螅种群增长有显著影响.在较高离子浓度下,水螅种群增长率、净增长率较大,而世代时间相对缩短.     

Conserving indigenous knowledge as the key to the current and future use of traditional vegetables

Indigenous knowledge erodes rapidly. When the loss of this knowledge negatively affects the lives and health of traditionally living rural communities, a drive to conserve indigenous knowledge becomes vital. This article argues that the transfer of indigenous knowledge on traditional vegetables will ensure the availability and utilisation of this important food source for resource-poor rural communities. Data collected on the present use of traditional vegetables at a rural Xhosa village in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa documented indigenous practices of traditional vegetable use and measured attitudes and perceptions of young women. Findings revealed that although traditional vegetables are readily available, there is a decline in the use of traditional vegetables in this village. Since the loss of associated indigenous knowledge is a reality, and in view of the negative attitude towards traditional vegetables, future use of this valuable food source is threatened. The transfer of the associated indigenous knowledge holds the key to the potential future use of traditional vegetables. Altered perceptions of traditional vegetables are crucial for the conservation of the associated indigenous knowledge. As a result awareness campaigns to promote the use of traditional vegetables, related nutritional education, including proper cooking and preservation techniques are necessary.

中国农业文化遗产研究与保护实践的主要进展

中国农业文明历史悠久,农民们在长期生产实践过程中一直在寻求适应不同自然条件的生产方式,创造了灿烂的农业文化遗产。发端于20世纪初,以农业考古、农业历史、传统农业哲学及农业民俗学等为主要内容的农业遗产研究,为农业文化遗产研究奠定了基础。2005年以"青田稻鱼共生系统"被FAO列为首批GIAHS保护试点为标志的新时期农业文化遗产研究与保护实践探索,正体现出多学科合作、理论研究与实践探索并重、保护与发展协调的特征。本文从古籍整理与考古研究、概念与内涵研究、系统结构与作用机制研究、多功能性与生态系统服务研究等角度介绍了农业文化遗产的基础性研究进展,从动态保护途径研究、法律与政策保障研究和保护与发展实践探索等方面总结了近几年开展的工作与取得的成效。并在此基础上,提出了农业文化遗产研究与保护实践中应当注意的问题,包括:进一步丰富研究内容,重视典型传统生态农业模式的机理性、定量化研究;从多学科与跨学科的角度研究农业文化遗产;加快开展农业文化遗产的普查与价值挖掘工作;重视农业文化遗产的创新、发展及可持续利用;重视农业生物多样性与农业文化多样性两个方面的保护,在做好"两个保护"的前提下,促进地区的发展和农民生活水平的提高,并为现代农业发展提供支持;避免"原汁原味"的"冷冻式"保护和"大拆大建"的"破坏性"开发两种错误倾向;逐步建立农业文化遗产保护的多方参与机制,包括政府的主导作用,社区的积极参与,科技的有力支撑,企业的有效介入,媒体的跟踪宣传;使农业文化遗产地成为开展科学研究的平台,展示传统农业文明的窗口,生态-文化型农产品的生产基地,农业文化旅游的目的地。     

Review:Assessing potential dietary toxicity of heavy metals in selected vegetables and food crops

INTRODUCTION Regulation, handling and bioremediation of hazardous materials require an assessment of the risk to some living species other than human being, or assessment of hazard to the entire ecosystem. As- sessment endpoints are values of the ecosystem that are to be protected and are identified early in the analysis. Such endpoints may include life cycle stages of a species and reproductive or growth patterns. Ecosystem risk assessment is at its dawn with this area of environment sci…

Red pigment production by Penicillium purpurogenum GH2 is influenced by pH and temperature

The combined effects of pH and temperature on red pigment production and fungal morphology were evaluated in a submerged culture of Penicillium purpurogenum GH2, using Czapek-Dox media with d-xylose as a carbon source. An experimental design with a factorial fix was used: three pH values (5, 7, and 9) and two temperature levels (24 and 34 °C) were evaluated. The highest production of red pigment (2.46 g/L) was reached with a pH value of 5 and a temperature of 24 °C. Biomass and red pigment production were not directly associated. This study demonstrates that P. purpurogenum GH2 produces a pigment of potential interest to the food industry. It also shows the feasibility of producing and obtaining natural water-soluble pigments for potential use in food industries. A strong combined effect (p<0.05) of pH and temperature was associated with maximal red pigment production (2.46 g/L).
