Classroom Activity: Food Webs
This lesson plan is designed to help students understand the interrelatedness of food webs and to see how populations of organisms affect each other. Students assume the roles of the various organisms in the ecosystem; the ones that are dependent upon each other are symbolically connected by lengths of yarn. A materials list, instructions, assessment ideas, and educational standards are provided. Educational levels: High school, Middle school

Increasing Food Safety Compliance With Online Resources

MASTER OF SCIENCEFood-borne illness is a top concern for public policy and public health in the U.S.,
causing nearly 48 million incidents yearly. The number of confirmed food-borne illness
outbreaks has declined over recent years as regulation and control measures of the Food and
Drug Administration have increased. However, despite increased regulations and decreased
outbreaks, there are still a large number of food safety violations, and it is imperative that food
service employers continue to encourage good food safety practices. Mandated training has
produced varying results on the improved inspection scores of restaurant establishments, but
understanding the barriers to food safety and employing food safety intervention measures has
had positive results on improving the employees’ food safety compliance behaviors. There is an
opportunity to explore new interventions and mediums to increase safe food handling behaviors.
This project describes the development of a food safety resource, FoodSafetyKmowledge.org.
The site exists as a singular location for managers to find all of the necessary safety and
sanitation resources in one accessible and convenient place. The discussion and analysis includes
feedback from other food service professionals, and I offer recommendations to improve the site
for future use.Signature Page / Title Page / Abstract / List of Figures / Acknowledgements / Introduction / Literature Review / Method / Discussion / Conclusion / Reference

Food Security, Fertility Differentials and Land Degradation in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Dynamic Framework
We study the impact of differential fertility levels for the food-insecure and food-secure population on the long-run values of the population distribution and resources in a descriptive model where the food security states are determined by a historically given food distribution and the endogenous food production with resources and labour as inputs. Furthermore, we assume that the resource stock is reduced by poverty-driven environmental degradation. Moreover, we incorporate nutritional effects on labour productivity and mortality. By applying local bifurcation theory, we show that the model may exhibit multiple equilibria. Furthermore, the orbits of resources and the population distribution may be characterised by quasi-periodic behaviour. Sustainable development in terms of approaching a steady state with positive values of resources and food-secure population is only promoted by low fertility levels of the food-insecure and food-secure population.
