English

Subject field(s)
  • Titles of International Programs
  • Research Experiments in Space
  • Agriculture - General
  • Food Industries
OBS

The Deep Space Food Challenge seeks to create novel food production technologies that require minimal inputs(materials, energy, water, etc.) and maximize safe, nutritious and palatable food.

OBS

The Canadian Space Agency(CSA) is working with NASA [National Aeronautics and Space Administration] on the Deep Space Food Challenge, a competition to develop new technologies to produce food for future space missions while expanding opportunities for food production on Earth.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Titres de programmes internationaux
  • Travaux de recherche dans l'espace
  • Agriculture - Généralités
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
OBS

Le Défi de l'alimentation dans l'espace lointain a pour but de mener à la création de nouvelles technologies de production alimentaire qui nécessitent un minimum d'intrants (p. ex. matériel, énergie, eau, [etc.]) pour produire un maximum d'aliments sains, nutritifs et agréables au goût.

OBS

L'Agence spatiale canadienne (ASC) travaille avec la NASA [National Aeronautics and Space Administration] au Défi de l'alimentation dans l'espace lointain. Ce concours vise la mise au point de nouvelles technologies de production alimentaire pour les astronautes en mission spatiale. Elles élargiraient aussi les possibilités sur Terre en ce qui concerne la production d'aliments.

Subject field(s)
  • Dietetics
  • Hygiene and Health
CONT

Malnutrition represents a global challenge that encompasses three dimensions simultaneously : undernourishment and food insecurity, through insufficient intake of dietary energy and protein; undernutrition or micronutrient deficiencies; and overnutrition, through excess intake of dietary energy, manifest in the number of overweight and obese people. These three dimensions are known as "the triple burden of malnutrition. "

French

Domaine(s)
  • Diététique
  • Hygiène et santé
CONT

L'existence d'un «triple fardeau de la malnutrition», à savoir la concomitance dans un même pays voire au sein d'un même ménage de sous-alimentation, carences nutritionnelles et surconsommation, est aujourd'hui une préoccupation majeure dans les pays en transition.

  • Grain Growing
CONT

For IRRI [International Rice Research Institute], the task is especially challenging: to spearhead a ’double green revolution’ (an increase in grain supplies with protection of the environment) in rice, the staple food on which nearly two and a half billion people already depend.

CONT

In the 21st century, ecological access to food seems to be the biggest challenge because of the damage being done to land, flora and the atmosphere. What we need is a new "double green revolution"-environmentally sustainable as well as yield-increasing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Économie environnementale
  • Gestion et politique agricole
  • Culture des céréales
CONT

La révolution doublement verte est une réponse par anticipation aux risques de dégradation à long terme de la situation alimentaire mondiale et des ressources naturelles.

OBS

C'est parce qu'elle devra associer productivité élevée et viabilité écologique que la nouvelle révolution est dite «doublement verte». Fondamentalement destinée à réduire la pauvreté et l'insécurité alimentaire, elle ne s'appuie plus sur des bases purement techniques. Elle doit partir de la demande des populations pauvres, créer des emplois pour ceux qui n'ont que peu ou pas de terre, s'occuper autant des petites exploitations que des autres, de l'ensemble des régions agricoles et non plus seulement des régions à potentiel élevé. Elle doit impliquer fortement les politiques agricoles de façon à créer, à toutes les échelles, des environnements économiques favorables.

The Unitarian Service Committee of Canada(USC Canada) is a non-profit, non-denominational, voluntary organization committed to the enhancement of human development through an international partnership of people linked in the challenge to eradicate poverty. Founded in 1945 by the late Dr Lotta Hitschmanova, USC' s early mandate was to undertake relief and reconstruction activities in war-ravaged countries in Europe. Over the years USC' s work has evolved to focus almost entirely on long-term, sustainable development programs. USC Canada currently supports programs in Nepal, Indonesia/East Timor, Bangladesh, Mali and Lesotho. USC projects are centred around a number of important development issues including food security, environment, community development, income generation for women and training and education.

The food challenge should be administered with the patient in a fasting state, starting the challenge with a dose of food unlikely to provoke symptoms(generally 125 mg to 500 mg of lyophilized food). This dose is then doubled every 15 to 60 minutes, depending upon the type of reaction that is anticipated.
