Baker, Aryn. “The ‘Slow Food’ Movement Wants to Stop Climate Change.” Time. 2022. Web.
The article encourages accepting slow food as a naturally produced food to address the emerging food crisis. The specified change is expected to help minimize greenhouse gas production, thus contributing to sustainability. The authors argue that further promoting the “slow food” movement is expected to help reduce the food scarcity problem due to its connection to climate change. Specifically, slowing down the pace of climate change as a more sustainable strategy, the slow food movement is bound to assist in managing the food crisis.
Awange, Joseph. Food Insecurity & Hydroclimate in Greater Horn of Africa: Potential for Agriculture Amidst Extremes. Switzerland, Springer International Publishing, 2022.
The book targets the problem of food insecurity, which is a direct outcome of environmentally unsustainable solutions. The offered hydrological models are expected to assist in restoring the environmental balance. Proposing the concept of hydrological models for farming as the demands of increasing the amount of food grown, the article convinces the audience of the necessity to embrace new technology and its opportunities. Using the models to forecast changes in weather conditions, one can improve the pace and amount of food grown in areas affected by weather issues.
Crusan, Jason, and Carol Galica. “NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative: Enabling Broad Access to Space.” Acta Astronautica, vol. 157, 2019, pp. 51-60.
The article examines the concept of the CubeSat, a satellite that can perform various research- and education-adjacent functions due to its small size. The specified technology can access a variety of environments, studying them thoroughly and introducing solutions that would allow advancing the current use of infrastructure and improving access to crucial resources. As a result, a more rational approach to resource usage can be undertaken.
Gaspar, Vitor, et al. Fiscal Policy and Development: Human, Social, and Physical Investments for the SDGs. International Monetary Fund, 2019.
The book explains the connection between the financial aspects of resource management and sustainability. Specifically, the link between environmental policies and the availability of fiscal resources is detailed. The book assesses the implementation of sustainable development goals (SDGs) and confirms that the process is highly dependent on collaboration between countries on a governmental level. Specifically, homogeneity in regulations addressing environmental concerns and the associated food scarcity issue will allow for managing the problem of food availability. Therefore, governments across the globe need to introduce homogeneous policies regarding the subject matter, as well as methods for assessing factors such as spending per capita.
“Good, Clean, Fair and Sustainable Food for All • Slow Food USA.” Slow Food USA. Web.
The site details the nuances of slow food production and the slow food movement as a whole. According to the provided information, the slow food movement seeks to change the current approach to addressing the climate change threat by shifting toward the traditional approach for food production, manufacturing, and distribution. The offered solution allows not only to minimize the CO2 emission rates but also to reach out to vulnerable communities and address the concerns associated with food scarcity directly.
Ong, Joshua, et al. “Terrestrial Health Applications of Visual Assessment Technology and Machine Learning in Spaceflight Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome.” NPJ Microgravity, vol. 8, no. 1, 2022, p. 37.
The article expands on the issue of technology application for addressing environmental concerns by exemplifying the effects that technology may have on organic life. The study details that the integration of innovative tools allows for the improvement of eyesight-related concerns that result from being continuously subjected to space. Therefore, the study confirms that the opportunity to transfer the core processes affecting the environment to the space context is a possibility. The options for mitigating adverse health effects detailed in the study create premises for integrating innovative, environmentally safe measures for addressing food scarcity.
Rana, Damini, and Mritunjay Sharma. “The New Final Frontier: A Case Study Analysis of Private Sector’s Increasing Role in the Space Industry.” Journal of Student Research, vol. 10, no. 3, 2021, pp. 1018.
The space context has opened countless opportunities for addressing the problem of food scarcity from a logistics perspective. Offering an immense amount of storage opportunities, the space environment can be regarded as crucial for addressing food scarcity. Furthermore, the space setting invites opportunities for the private sector to join the process of addressing the resource management issue and contribute to avoiding the threat of famine for underserved areas and vulnerable communities. The research confirms that space provides a plethora of options for discovering new frontiers in food manufacturing, as well as investment options.
Slow Food Story. Directed by Stefano Sardo, performances by Carlo Petrini, Azio Citi, and Dario Fo, Element Pictures, 2013.
The landscape approach is another tool suggested for managing the issue of food scarcity. The movie emphasizes the important role of integrating technological innovations and observation-based techniques. The specified framework suggests the use of global cross-cultural collaboration and the relevant opportunities as a method of controlling the problem of food scarcity. Furthermore, the film demonstrates how global leaders strive to enhance the efficacy of food production and distribution.
Schollaert Uz, Stephanie, et al. “Developing a Community of Practice for Applied Uses of Future PACE Data to Address Marine Food Security Challenges.” Frontiers in Earth Science, vol. 7, 2019, p. 283.
The study seeks to explore the available opportunities for enhancing space capacity for food resources, considering the marine environment. According to the study, the marine industry requires NASA’s assistance and the relevant technological opportunities. Specifically, by establishing a straightforward framework with a homogenous application approach, one will help incorporate options such as remote sensing data for controlling the environment in which food is grown. As a result, major positive changes are expected to occur in the realm of food security.
UNU University. “Slow Food Movement Growing Fast.” UNU.edu. Web.
The site introduces the reader to the concept of the fast food movement. Launched in Italy in 1989, the movement initially represented a response to the rapid development of the fast-food industry and the increasing number of fast-food restaurants and chains. However, as the movement expanded, it started incorporating environmentalist principles, thus transforming into a green framework for addressing the problem of climate change. Seeking to introduce environmentally safe standards for food manufacturing and distribution into the global setting, the fast movement may serve as a strategy for reducing climate change risks.
