supported our local farms. Coming home that day, I asked my mom if we could go again to buy our food there. However, I am not the only one. The locavore movement has rooted itself across the nation; nevertheless, it is an individual's choice. Becoming a true locavore takes lots of

The food system is essential to sustaining human life, yet it often gets overlooked. Feeding a city comes with a lot of issues, especially feeding the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) at a population of 414,000 (Statistics Canada, 2015). Although food is required to sustain humans, it has not always been produced sustainably in Halifax. Food sustainability is not only concerned with the food people consume, but rather looks at the whole system, interconnecting social, economic, and environmental

For my community service hours, I went to the Good Earth Organic Farm in Celeste, TX owned by Paul Magedson. It is a certified organic farm that prides itself on not using “extensive herbicide and pesticide use[d] by intensive conventional agriculture” (Andreatta 2000 p.40). Paul’s farm grows and sells organic produce such as cucumbers, strawberries, okra, kale, and tomatoes. He sells grass-fed lamb from the sheep has raises on his farm and he also has chickens. To complete my hours, I went on

Before I entered this class, I took local farmers for granted. I thought all the produce in our supermarkets was from local farmers, and I thought that green markets were just another place to buy produce. This semester has opened my eyes to the issues surrounding the food we eat. Before the 1870’s canning industry, food was not shipped across the United Sates; it was consumed locally. Back then the local farmer’s had a market; with the grit in their teeth, soiled hands and pants, and their backs

Problem Statement According to the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), an environmental action group, the food waste that occurs currently in the USA is approximately 40%. A staff scientist from NRDC, Dana Ganders, a staff scientist who focuses on food for NRDC, compares it to buying five bags of groceries, dropping two of them in the parking lot and then walking away. The food waste situation has worsened in the last couple of decades. From 1960 to present the food thrown out increased

SNB could not be assessed in isolation from other concurrent analgesic interventions, such as local anaesthetic wound infiltration, intra-articular injection, or epidural anesthesia; if surgeries involved anatomical areas other than the knee joint, such as the ankle; if knee procedures did not involve arthroplasty, such as cruciate ligament repair; or, if adjuvants other than epinephrine were added to local anaesthetics.

the JDC next door. However, the State of Ohio started the RECLAIM act as a response to juvenile court and Department of Youth correctional overcrowding (Ohio Department of Youth Services). RECLAIM stands for reasonable and equitable community and local alternatives to the incarceration of minors. This act was implemented in January of 1995 and there are currently only 12 community facilities in the state of Ohio. NCORC opened its door as a community facility because of this act in 1996 (Wrentmore

control, which is mainly achieved using local anaesthetic drugs (PD). Lidocaine being the safest is the most commonly used (JMOS) and has served as a gold standard in local anaesthetic drugs for the past 50 years (pd). It has revolutionized pain control in dentistry since it was introduced in late 1940s (Malamed). It is an amide anaesthetic with a short onset of action and an intermediate duration of anaesthesia when associated with adrenaline(BDJ). Local anaesthetic injections trigger pain and

In the book “Omnivore’s Dilemma” and the article “Eat Food: Food Defined” by Michael Pollan, Pollan informs us of the dangers of eating processed foods. He goes on to explain that in the modern age of today, our diets are majorly composed of processed food, leading to health complications such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Pollan advises us that we must stop eating processed food and instead eat real food, in which he lists ways of obtaining real food, such as going to farmer’s markets
