Shopping safely at farmers markets : fact sheet

Fact sheetFarmers markets continue to grow in popularity across the United States and across Missouri. They are a great place to 1) purchase healthy local produce and other foods, 2) meet and support local farmers, and 3) enjoy shopping in a fun environment. However, it is important that consumers pay attention to food safety when buying and using foods purchased in such venuesNew 10/201

Intertextuality and Spirotextuality: Rethinking Textual Interconnections

Notwithstanding significant contributions by Julia Kristeva, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Ferdinand de Saussure to an understanding of textual interrelationships, many other scholars continue to explore this phenomenon and this has given rise to a number of claims about intertextuality that border on sophistry. By means of a critical methodology that takes a close look at what intertextuality is all about and certain sophist implications, this foundational essay exposes the shortcomings of intertextuality concerning textual interconnections and establishes spirotextuality as an alternative worldview that is more realistic, more comprehensive, more historically sensitive and more defensible. Keywords: Intertextuality, metempsychosis, poststructuralism, sophism, spirotextualit

Nutrition and food safety extension programming in urban Kansas City

Kansas State University and the University of Missouri Extension Services conduct a great deal of programming in nutrition and food safety in urban areas of Kansas City (KC). This manuscript highlights the efforts of local and state-level Extension educators’ efforts across two different states and in four different counties. Information will be shared on low-income nutrition education, other nutrition education efforts, work with farmers’ market consumers and vendors, home food preservation, food preparation, and other related educational and outreach efforts. Methodologies used to work with underserved audiences and with community partners will also be outlined. All areas of Extension programming in urban areas face numerous challenges, which are also present in nutrition and food safety Extension programs. In urban areas, there are normally many other organizations providing similar services to those provided by Extension, including numerous non-governmental organizations (NGOs), hospitals, grocery stores, universities, and other entities. Therefore, it is essential for Extension personnel to partner with appropriate groups and focus on the comparative advantage that University Extension services can provide. Further, many people in urban areas are not familiar with Extension programming and need to be familiarized with what Extension is about and the value of working with or learning from Extension. In addition, populations in urban areas often tend to be more diverse and programming may likely need to be adapted to realities that community faces. Some examples of information that will be covered in the presentation include details about how the Wyandotte County Extension Nutrition Education program (in Kansas City, KS) has worked to personalize education for the diverse populations living in their county. This program has successfully trained community partners to assist with delivering evidence-based curricula to underserved audiences

Thermal Pollution Mathematical Model

A one dimensional model for studying the thermal dynamics of cooling lakes was developed and verified. The model is essentially a set of partial differential equations which are solved by finite difference methods. The model includes the effects of variation of area with depth, surface heating due to solar radiation absorbed at the upper layer, and internal heating due to the transmission of solar radiation to the sub-surface layers. The exchange of mechanical energy between the lake and the atmosphere is included through the coupling of thermal diffusivity and wind speed. The effects of discharge and intake by power plants are also included. The numerical model was calibrated by applying it to Cayuga Lake. The model was then verified through a long term simulation using Lake Keowee data base. The comparison between measured and predicted vertical temperature profiles for the nine years is good. The physical limnology of Lake Keowee is presented through a set of graphical representations of the measured data base

Working together to reduce food waste : Extensionf act sheet

"The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economic Research Service estimates that 30 to 40% of edible food in the United States currently goes to waste. These 133 billion pounds of wasted food are worth an estimated $161 billion, which is a significant loss to our economy. At the household level, the average US family of four loses an estimated$1,500 per year on wasted food. Further, food waste accounts for 21% of the American waste stream. When we throw food out, we are throwing away the money we spent on those items as well as wasting the water, energy, and labor used to produce that food. Also, food dumped in a landfill emits a large amount of methane gas, which is harmful to the environment. Organic waste, mostly food, is the second biggest component of landfills, and landfills are the third largest source of methane emissions (FDA, 2020). Because of the environmental impact of food waste, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed a Food Recovery Hierarchy (Image 1) to help people think about the best ways to reduce food waste. Most food producers, processors, and food retailers are working on various initiatives to reduce their food waste. This lesson will focus on how consumers can reduce their own food waste. We will consider the different levels of the EPA Food Recovery Hierarchy (Image 1) and discuss how we can prioritize our efforts to reduce food waste and save our hard-earned money and global resources."--IntroductionPrepared by: Rachel Werling (Kansas State University Dietetic Intern), Londa Nwadike (Food Safety Specialist, Kansas State University and University of Missouri Extension)New 06/20Includes bibliographical reference
