  • Edible Insects
    1.04cm spine for 208pg on 90g eco paper ISSN 0258-6150 FAO 171 FORESTRY 171 PAPER FAO FORESTRY PAPER 171 Edible insects Edible insects Future prospects for food and feed security Future prospects for food and feed security Edible insects have always been a part of human diets, but in some societies there remains a degree of disdain Edible insects: future prospects for food and feed security and disgust for their consumption. Although the majority of consumed insects are gathered in forest habitats, mass-rearing systems are being developed in many countries. Insects offer a significant opportunity to merge traditional knowledge and modern science to improve human food security worldwide. This publication describes the contribution of insects to food security and examines future prospects for raising insects at a commercial scale to improve food and feed production, diversify diets, and support livelihoods in both developing and developed countries. It shows the many traditional and potential new uses of insects for direct human consumption and the opportunities for and constraints to farming them for food and feed. It examines the body of research on issues such as insect nutrition and food safety, the use of insects as animal feed, and the processing and preservation of insects and their products. It highlights the need to develop a regulatory framework to govern the use of insects for food security. And it presents case studies and examples from around the world. Edible insects are a promising alternative to the conventional production of meat, either for direct human consumption or for indirect use as feedstock.

  • White Paper in Support of the Proposed Risk Assessment Process for Bees
    White Paper in Support of the Proposed Risk Assessment Process for Bees Submitted to the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel for Review and Comment September 11 – 14, 2012 Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention Office of Pesticide Programs Environmental Fate and Effects Division Washington, D. C. September 11, 2012 Environmental Assessment Directorate Pest Management Regulatory Agency Health Canada Ottawa, Canada K1A 0K9 California Department of Pesticide Regulation Sacramento, California Executive Summary Background Over the past 60 years, the number of managed honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies in the U.S. has been in decline and recent reports have indicated that the numbers of insect pollinators are in decline both in North America and Europe. A number of factors have been associated with declines in honey bees in the North America including disease, pests, poor nutrition, loss of habitat, pesticides and bee management practices; however, none of these factors have been identified as the cause. Researchers have hypothesized that some of these factors may interact and result in losses which are attributed to winter kill and Colony Collapse Disorder. Although pesticides have not been implicated as the singular cause of insect pollinator declines in general or of declines in honey bees specifically, efforts have been directed at determining the extent to which pesticides may be affecting bees and ways to mitigate potential effects. Regulatory authorities in North America and elsewhere are developing improved procedures for evaluating the potential risks of pesticides to bees. While many pesticides are applied to foliar surfaces with the intention of affecting insects through contact, systemic pesticides can be applied to soil, seed or foliar surfaces and be transported to pollen and nectar where bees can be exposed through ingestion of residues.

  • Central Europe 2012 Uncovering the Core
    Central Europe 2012 Uncovering the core. 500 companies 18 countries 5 industries This is the first time that I have had the pleasure of welcoming you to the Deloitte Central Europe Top 500 ranking and report. This is the sixth year that we are publishing our essential annual publication that provides insight into the key factors affecting the corporate business community across the 18 countries of the Central European region. This year is proving to be a challenging one for businesses all over Europe; in the current climate, the only certainty we have is uncertainty. Even though countries in our region are, in general, faring better than many elsewhere, this does not mean that we are in any way immune to the impact of the almost daily turbulence that continues to shake our interconnected economies. In this challenging environment, there is one consistent driver that influences the decisions that businesses must make every day on how they respond to such issues: leadership. This is why throughout this year’s report we are focusing on the critical importance of leadership at all levels in achieving organisational and market success. As you read the perspectives of Deloitte partners and executives from some of the region’s largest companies, I am confident you will see how the qualities of good leadership can and do permeate every organisation. Inside this report, one of our interviewees says: “When a company is facing a time of turbulent change, they will find themselves in trouble unless they have a genuine leader.” This statement was never more relevant than it is today.
