SACRED SPACES and OBJECTS: the VISUAL, MATERIAL, and TANGIBLE George Pati
SACRED SPACES AND OBJECTS: THE VISUAL, MATERIAL, AND TANGIBLE George Pati BRAUER MUSEUM OF ART | APRIL 13 — MAY 8, 2016 WE AT THE BRAUER MUSEUM are grateful for the opportunity to present this exhibition curated by George Pati, Ph.D., Surjit S. Patheja Chair in World Religions and Ethics and Valparaiso University associate professor of theology and international studies. Through this exhibition, Professor Pati shares the fruits of his research conducted during his recent sabbatical and in addition provides valuable insights into sacred objects, sites, and practices in India. Professor Pati’s photographs document specific places but also reflect a creative eye at work; as an artist, his documents are also celebrations of the particular spaces that inspire him and capture his imagination. Accompanying the images in the exhibition are beautiful textiles and objects of metalware that transform the gallery into its own sacred space, with respectful and reverent viewing becoming its own ritual that could lead to a fuller understanding of the concepts Pati brings to our attention. Professor Pati and the Brauer staff wish to thank the Surjit S. Patheja Chair in World Religions and Ethics and the Partners for the Brauer Museum of Art for support of this exhibition. In addition, we wish to thank Gretchen Buggeln and David Morgan for the insights and perspectives they provide in their responses to Pati's essay and photographs.

There live numerous divine entities, serpent gods and other ambivalent deities or ghosts, subordinated to the presiding god/goddess of the temple installed in the main shrine. -

Domesticating the Undomesticated for Global Food and Nutritional Security: Four Steps
agronomy Essay Domesticating the Undomesticated for Global Food and Nutritional Security: Four Steps Ajeet Singh , Pradeep Kumar Dubey, Rajan Chaurasia , Rama Kant Dubey, Krishna Kumar Pandey, Gopal Shankar Singh and Purushothaman Chirakkuzhyil Abhilash * Institute of Environment & Sustainable Development, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi 221005, India * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +91-94156-44280 Received: 8 July 2019; Accepted: 27 August 2019; Published: 28 August 2019 Abstract: Ensuring the food and nutritional demand of the ever-growing human population is a major sustainability challenge for humanity in this Anthropocene. The cultivation of climate resilient, adaptive and underutilized wild crops along with modern crop varieties is proposed as an innovative strategy for managing future agricultural production under the changing environmental conditions. Such underutilized and neglected wild crops have been recently projected by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations as ‘future smart crops’ as they are not only hardy, and resilient to changing climatic conditions, but also rich in nutrients. They need only minimal care and input, and therefore, they can be easily grown in degraded and nutrient-poor soil also. Moreover, they can be used for improving the adaptive traits of modern crops. The contribution of such neglected, and underutilized crops and their wild relatives to global food production is estimated to be around 115–120 billion US$ per annum. Therefore, the exploitation of such lesser -
Public Information Summary Milk Mantra 9000103842
Public Information Summary Milk Mantra Host Country India Name of Borrower Milk Mantra Dairy Private Limited (the “Borrower”) Project Description Expansion of a dairy processing company operating in East India (the “Project”). Proposed DFC Loan $10,000,000 All-Source Funding Total $19,280,000 Policy Review U.S. Economic Impact No Analysis Required. Developmental Objectives This Project is expected to have a highly developmental impact through supporting the expansion of operations and facilities of a growing milk processor in India. India is the largest milk producer and consumer in the world. The production of milk is largely undertaken by smallholder farmers many of whom are women. The Project is expected to have significant developmental impacts through its inclusive and innovative business plan, which sources milk primarily from over 60000 low- income smallholder farmers in underdeveloped rural areas of India. Major challenges affecting the smallholder-farmer milk production include low genetic potential of Indian bovines, lack of nutritious and balanced feed composition, and inadequate veterinary services. The Project aims to overcome these challenges by supporting smallholder farmers with a technical assistance facility offering field extension agents, animal husbandry trainings, and a digital financial inclusion campaign. Environment and Social ENV Assessment: Assessment SCREENING: The Project has been reviewed against DFC’s categorical prohibitions and has been determined to be categorically eligible. Loans to dairy processing
