1. 26. Feeding the hungry or feeding dependency?

   Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

   Författare :Desirée Pettersson; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Dependency; food insecurity; community development; COVID-19 in townships; food-for-work programs; feeding schemes; Business and Economics;

   Sammanfattning : Is food aid a catalyst for recovery following external shocks? Can it serve community development in persistently food insecure areas in the long run, or does it create a dependency trap? This research aims to provide insights into these questions by conducting a case study of a soup kitchen in the South African township Masakhane that was established as an emergency response following COVID-19. The findings suggest that perceptions upon the nature of dependency are significantly time-dependent and volatile. LÄS MER

3. 27. Automating the boiling of carbohydrate food through machine learning

   Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Signaler och system

   Författare :Mauricio Ramirez Zavala; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Machine learning; embedded systems; convolutional neural network;

   Sammanfattning : There are scenarios in the modern world of today when several things are being cooked at the same time on the stove in the kitchen. You typically have a saucepan that is boiling a carbohydrate. This requires attention and can result in elevated levels of mental exertion. LÄS MER

4. 28. Integration of food shelf-life in life cycle assessment of polymers

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

   Författare :Divya Sukumaran Nair; [2021]
   Nyckelord :Food shelf-life; life cycle assessment; biopolymers; food packaging; sustainability; shelf-life induced food waste; Technology and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : Biopolymers are being considered as a promising alternative to fossil-based polymers and this inclination towards biopolymers is due to their lower environmental impact owing to their origin from renewable resources. The environmental impact assessment, however, often does not consider the impact of barrier properties of polymers and the resulting differences in food waste generated in the supply chain. LÄS MER

7. 30. The impact of rainwater harvesting and fertilizer micro-dosing on farm and household sustainability in rural Tanzania

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Economics

   Författare :Diana Lucia Escobar Jaramillo; [2021]
   Nyckelord :difference-in-difference; East Africa; food security; innovations; propensity score matching; sustainability indicators; Tanzania; Technology adoption;

   Sammanfattning : Food insecurity and poverty are of major concern for farmers in Tanzania, and the technologies rainwater harvesting coupled with fertilizer micro-dosing promise to aid in easing these burdens, particularly in a water-limited context. In this study, I performed an ex-post assessment of the impact of these two innovations in the sustainability of households and farms, in two contrasting regions of Tanzania semi-arid Dodoma and semi-humid Morogoro, to see if they would be relevant to promote in the country.
