B. C. program schooling kids with fresh, local fare

Northern communities face the challenges of a short growing season and a paucity of independent farmers, which force some schools to buy up to 80 per cent of their winter salad bar ingredients from the grocery store. This underscores the need to increase farming and food storage at the local level, Ms. Bays says.

Turning kids into root-vegetable fans is easier in elementary schools because the students and ldquo;can and rsquo;t drive off in their cars to McDonald and rsquo;s, and rdquo; she says. Nevertheless, the salad bars have thrived in high schools where students are involved in harvesting and food preparation, and convince their peers to break the junk food habit, she adds.

She said that the issue of water resource management, including building water reservoirs, was important, adding that water storage arrangements helped agriculture and energy sectors and reduced flood risks. She said the United Nations and relief agencies estimated that around six million people would need food assistance over the next three months because crops and food stocks had been destroyed by floods and this number might go up. There was urgent need for fodder for livestock and the rabi crop needed to be planted by late September, she said.

2010-08-26 Empty stomachs, rotting food stocks

Being an agricultural country, each region in India has evolved storage methods to preserve foodgrains. In villages we have grain gola, made from wood or local material like bamboo that protects the grain from moisture and rodents. In most cases they use neem leaves or plant based pest resistant methods to repel pests and fungus. However, these silo like structures are small and they are suitable for storing village produce for a year or two. We need to build on these traditional solutions of grain storage.

2010-08-25 The Search for Improved Food Storage: Beyond Plastic Cling Triple Pundit: People, Planet, Profit

Is always an issue as those crates of meat and veggies move from farm to store to table. So what do you pull out of the cabinet as you clean the kitchen after you have had everyone over for that Saturday night dinner Well, the easiest default is plastic cling wrap. While our Silver Lake household is weaning ourselves away from plastic containers (the news over BPA and other chemicals is just a bit too creepy) and adopting our grandmothers storage method, glass jars, that roll of cling wrap will not go away. Tear a square off, and presto, you have a lid for that ceramic bowl or baking dishand the debate over the safety of that form of plastic comes into play as well. Well, we have almost eliminated plastic bags from the house and favor the tea towel over the paper towel, so when it comes to that roll of cling wrap, we

2010-08-22 Research shows better fridge use can reduce food waste

This project has surveyed the consumer handling of refrigerated foods, in particular the effects on temperature of transporting the refrigerated food from the supermarket to the home and storage in the domestic fridge. A key part of the work was an extensive survey of refrigerated food practices in the home, the results of which provide an insight into consumer food purchasing, food storage, fridge ownership and management of food items.

One of the largest contributions to the 5. 3 million tonnes of avoidable household food and drink waste thrown away each year is from products that require or benefit from refrigerated storage, including fresh/raw meat and fish, ready meals, dairy products, fruit and vegetables and pre-prepared foods.

2010-08-19 Pakistans misery is just starting The Australian

About 7. 3 million hectares of productive crop land has been wiped out and, thanks to the countrys limited food storage capacity, it faces the prospect of having to import basic foodstuffs for at least the next year.

Even before the floods, the World Food Program assessed 50 per cent of Pakistans 170 million people as being "food insecure". But the convergence of floods, the inflationary effect of the Islamic month of Ramadan and the wheat crisis -- which has caused prices to rise 90 per cent since June -- could "render a much larger proportion of the Pakistanis unable to secure basic food items at affordable prices".

2010-08-18 Half of restaurants fail summer checks

Nearly half of Copenhagens restaurants have struggled to keep up with regulations for food storage, according to figures from the Veterinary and Food Administration.

Restaurants fail to keep their foods in a cool enough environment. One bacterium can become one million bacteria in six hours at room temperature, and the fact that half of the places that we visited were reprimanded is simply not good enough, she said.

Morten Lisby, spokeswoman for the Agriculture and Food Ministry, said there is typically an explosion of bacteria during the summer months.
