Will the kings and the rich of the world return to wear the Damascene brocade again?
Syria is witnessing an accelerated return of silkworm breeding, after the industry has been severely affected by war, migration and difficult economic conditions.
Damascus has historically been famous for its Damascus brocade, made of silk, gold and silver threads.
The kings and the rich of the world were keen to wear brocade on occasions, as a sign of luxury and high status.
The silk industry in Syria dates back to the first century AD, and was famous for the days of Queen Zenobia in Palmyra.
Over time, Syria has led the world in the production and manufacture of silk.
The British Queen Elizabeth II is one of the most famous lovers of the Damascus brocade, and at her request, the Royal Palace sent a request to the Syrian Embassy in London, for the Damascene cloth to be designed for the queen's wedding dress.
When she wore it to the party in 1947, it caught the eye with its embroidered beauty.
The Return of the Silk Industry
The silk industry in Syria has been subjected to several setbacks that have made it decline, including local and global wars, economic crises, and the government ’ s monopoly on its industry since 1963, in addition to the emergence of artificial silk.
Despite the disappearance of the Syrian silkworm and its near extinction, the government is now working to import eggs from India and encouraging breeders through financial loans, with the aim of bringing local silk back to the global market.
The head of the Damascus Chamber of Agriculture, Mohammed Jannan, told "Eram News": "We imported 100 boxes of eggs from silk worm, and were presented at a symbolic and encouraging price for breeders, and each box contains 30 thousand eggs."
He added that the coming seasons will see an increase in the import of improved strains of silkworm, with the aim of producing white and yellow silk.
Although there are many difficulties in bringing Syrian silk back to the forefront of global markets, the industry ’ s roots in the countryside, and the experiences of the hereditary families, can lead to a revival of the silk in a short period of time.
Silkworm breeding centers are distributed in the cities of Homs, Hama, Latakia and Tartus.
The Ministry of Agriculture is working to provide consultations and expertise to new breeders, and everyone hopes to restore the glory of Syrian silk, as a favorite cloth for kings and rich people.
Damascene Silk
A Historical Look
The writer Maya al-Shami says in her book "Syrian Silk..
A picture of a living cultural heritage ":" I was struck when I met a family in the mountains of western Syria, who have been creating beautiful silk shawls for more than four generations today.
It ’ s a heritage industry that needs to be preserved. ”
Al-Shami adds: "The silk industry is divided into several crafts, the cocoons need to make silk thread, and the thread needs to weave cloth.
Weavers sell fabrics directly, or send them for dyeing.
And sometimes the strings are dyed first.
These operations are separate, and each of them has its own craftsmen and craftsmen. ”
According to al-Shami, there were 16 Syrian villages breeding silkworms before the crisis in the country.
The production volume was two tonnes of cocoons, compared to 360 tonnes in 1970.
The whole family is engaged in intensive seasonal work, the worms are very sensitive and are adversely affected by pesticides.
“In parallel with the silkworm farming activities concentrated in the villages, artisans in cities such as Damascus produce unique brocade fabrics using metal and silk threads, using centuries-old designs, ” she says.
Each Syrian city is unique in its silk industry, and Maya adds: “Aleppo ’ s pigeons create silk squares embellished with abstract, symmetrical shapes in white, red, and black.
In Homs and Hama, weavers create traditional striped fabrics.
Craftswomen produce dresses that take days to make, dyeing them in a method of attachment and binding called the "waistcoat".
It is not surprising to pass by the neighborhood of Bab Sharqi in Damascus, to read on the entrance of one of the buildings the words: "The textile factory of Anton Elias Mezner, founded in 1890", as the old Damascus embraces a long history of silk weaving.
The silk industry.
Resist!
The city of Drakish is one of the Syrian cities famous for its silk industry.
But its famous factory has been out of operation since 2009, despite the government ’ s announcement in 2017 of a three-phase plan aimed at bringing it back into production.
The last decline in the silk industry began in the early 1990s due to low economic viability and higher costs of raising silkworms than cocoons.
In addition to the import of industrial silk.
Agricultural engineer Ali Ismail told "Eram News": "The difficulties of breeding silkworms boils down to the provision of berries leaves in time.
And the suffering is in the speed of marketing, where the sale must take place within 10 days before the production is ruined. ”
The Ministry of Agriculture says it has distributed more than 150,000 mulberry trees at a nominal price to breeders.
In addition to the support with expertise and equipment almost free of charge.
These grants are expected to bear fruit in bringing Syrian silk back to the global front soon.

Damascus-Sana
You cannot pass through the Damascene neighborhood of Hanania in Bab Sharqi without being stopped by the time at the gallery of Mrs. Sophia Al-Ashqar “Um Elias ”. The smell of the place leads you voluntarily to stand at the heritage of nearly a hundred years old, looking at the cloth, moving your eyes to the copper and mosaic, and drowning in the place to come the laugh of Umm Elias and take you back to its small museum.
As her sons and residents of Haret Hananiya describe it as a “fortress ”, it is a fortress that stands as the steadfastness of Syrian women through time. Umm Elias does not only tell visitors to her heritage museum about the concept and value of the work, but she sees it embodied in her spirit and in every piece she weaved with her management of the gallery for nearly 70 years, including during the war on Syria. The development of the Syrian kaftan.
The love of the homeland and the authenticity of Umm Elias overshadowed her work many times, and she acted as a guide to the foreign tourist about the history of Syria and the age of each piece she acquired, reminding them that Damascus is the oldest inhabited city in history, and stressing that she did not tire and did not tire of that task, especially when visiting tourist delegations to Haret Hanania and their acquisition of the heritage craft in the gallery.
Mrs. Al-Ashqar talked about how she developed the Damascene kaftan from a traditional folk costume to a modern one that has been mixed for centuries until the present day. Umm Elias, 83, manipulated velvet, silk, agbani and brocade fabrics with her fingers as if she were manipulating her grandchildren, to come up with a piece of kaftan that mimics the fashion of our times and the new taste.
The icon of Haret Hanania moves around the gallery, continuing to talk, and with her warm voice narrates her beginning with the needle and thread since she was ten years old, and like any girl, the first dress she knitted was for her little doll, and developed her passion for cloth and sewing, considering that her father and grandfather have been professionals for a long time. Qar received the third prize in the mosaic industry at the Damascus Exhibition in 1936.
Umm Elias did not spare us time, and despite her fatigue, which seemed clear on the features of her face, love and determination had a stronger presence appeared in the explanation and give the most accurate information. She talked about the visit of senior guests to the gallery of artists, intellectuals and prominent personalities. However, she did not think to move to another area outside Bab Sharqi. Glass, as well as icons, begins to live from 45 years to almost 100 years.
Umm Elias goes back to an ancient time whose effects were evident on a copper table occupied by Damascene hands, through the technique of downloading silver on copper, and is more than eighty years old, in addition to the types of wood such as mosaic, which is famous for her father 's craftsman Haneen Ashqar. With her hands she opens a wooden piece of art created by her father, a mosaic table that includes several levels of toys. Sometimes chess, sometimes Elias's mother turns it into a dice game.
It then moves on to Damascene ornaments, icons and small brides made of cloth to stained glass, which gives the place the spirit of life and confirms that each piece and masterpiece has a cultural significance rooted in the culture of Syria.
So that Umm Elias remains one of the many Syrian women who went through the war, and their heads are nostalgic like the ears of wheat, but they did not break them, and they remain tender and shameless, raising their muses to them whenever their names are mentioned.

Content: Metal engraving is a world heritage struggling to survive in the Maghreb
Craftsmen preserve the art of hand-carved metal with ancestral skills recently listed by UNESCO as an “intangible heritage ” but not“ highly regarded ” in the region, where some are struggling to keep it.
This artisan art relies on carving ornaments in various forms, including geometric, botanical and astronomical, on copper, silver or gold metals to make household items, decorations or ornaments.
In early December, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) classified it as a humanitarian heritage, in a file that received the support of 10 Arab countries, including Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.
Exceptional Skills in Tunisia
Tunisian Imad Souleh, one of the three experts who submitted the file, praised the listing, saying it “obliges us to maintain this exceptional skill. ”
The Tunisian expert in this craft, Mohamed Amin Htouish, 37, learned the origins of engraving on copper at the age of 15, before moving on to silver and then gold, in a family workshop in the old city of Tunis.
To adapt to the new requirements, Hattouish learned to engrave using machines, and says, “I fear (this craft) will become extinct.
I am afraid that we will reach a day when we will no longer find any discussion. ”
Shahabuddeen bin Jaballah, 68, often devotes time to teaching his art to women who want to make ornaments or cribs decorated with brass ornaments in his workshop in Dandan, west of the capital.
However, the duration of training received by craftsmen today is insufficient, sometimes reduced to just three months.
He has trained hundreds of craftsmen over 50 years and now heads the National Chamber of Traditional Crafts.
“It takes at least two years to acquire all the engraving techniques, ” he explains, lamenting that his“ very rich ” profession is not appreciated.
The history of metal engraving in Tunisia dates back to the Carthaginians, before being enriched by the influences of Islamic civilization, Amazigh heritage and traditions of Mediterranean civilizations, as well as oriental influences.
There are still 439 artisans in the country who specialize in metal engraving, according to the National Crafts Office.
Engraving in Morocco
In Morocco, where traditional industry is generally of interest to the authorities and is part of the country ’ s tourism offering, most artisans now work in modern workshops such as those opened 10 years ago in Fez (north-central).
Before moving to one of those workshops, Idriss al-Sahay, 64, had learned to carve copper since he was a boy behind the walls of the ancient city.
Today, young people can learn them in vocational training centres that offer theoretical and practical courses supervised by craftsmen.
The man who spent 50 years in this craft said, “Today ’ s young people are lucky.
There is no fear on the back, but I insist on one thing, they must love the craft if they want to succeed. ”
The inscriptions used in Morocco often reclaim forms “inherited centuries ago and shared with the inscription on Zellig, wood and plaster, ” explains Ahmed El Kaddari, 57, whose passion for the craft began in his youth years.
But seasoned craftsmen with the status of “teacher ” can create new inscriptions“ at the moment ” or at the request of the customer, he adds.
Some of them bear the signature of the “guru ” who produced them as a sign of their high style.
Despite the training available to young people who want to learn the craft, El Sanea Mohamed Moumni believes that “the problem is the scarcity of people who know how to work, ” even though there is“ a huge demand for copper artifacts, ” according to the man living in the historic city of Salé, near Rabat.
Limited development in Libya
In Libya, artisans complain of lack of encouragement.
Youssef Shoshin told Agence France-Presse that "the development of this craft is very limited, it is only the demand that encourages the craftsmen" and not the authorities.
The Sixty Man asserts that "the majority of craftsmen have left the profession" which is no longer profitable.
He expresses his sadness over the development of this tradition, saying, "Why do I teach my children the craft?
They couldn ’ t work, ” although he tried to teach two or three young trainees.
High Demand in Algeria
In Algeria, demand for engraved metal tools remains high, despite the absence of official initiatives.
Carved gold or silver ornaments form part of the bridal decoration.
Each region has its own specialty, which it is famous for, the palms are known for their golden ornaments, while the tribes and the auras are known for making rings and silver bracelets sometimes decorated with coral.
Modern jeweler Walid Salami, 37, fell in love with the traditional inscriptions and “learned alone for two years online ” after finding no one to train him.
“It ’ s a great career, we don ’ t need to attract customers to buy, just to see the trinkets, ” he says.
But he believes that UNESCO ’ s recognition of the art “won ’ t change much ” in the situation, saying he would be more“ proud ” when these skills are “recognized ” in his region.

An art that resists extinction.
The "Cairo News" channel presented a television report entitled "The manufacture of clogs in Syria..
An art that resists extinction. ” In the past, the Kabbaq market was crowded before the holidays, to buy what was considered essential with the new Eid clothes, until the Shami proverb said, “The one who doesn ’ t get around the Eid money. ”
The report said that the market no longer has a share of its name, with the approach of Eid, we found only a few shops specialized in Qabqab, pointing out that uncle Abu Abdo, who has been a professional manufacture of Qabqab for more than 60 years, is keen to bequeath it to his children and grandchildren for fear of extinction.
Despite his age and illness, which exhausts him, he supervises himself daily on the details of the production and how to produce it in the form that people are familiar with and loved, as is firmly established in the character of Ghawar al-Tousha.
Abu Abdo said: "All of our relatives enter the Eid with clogs, and we are working to feed the Gulf countries with them, and we try to make clogs in fashion so that it suits all customers."
According to the report, which was presented by the Cairo News Channel, customers buy it as a souvenir after it has been turned into a heritage, and the customer does not distinguish between its various types such as Zahaf, Araissi and Shabrawi, and does not distinguish between the type of Khasbah, whether it is Hura, Safsafa or pine.

These operations are separate, and each of them has its own craftsmen and craftsmen. ”
According to al-Shami, there were 16 Syrian villages breeding silkworms before the crisis in the country.
The production volume was two tonnes of cocoons, compared to 360 tonnes in 1970.
The whole family is engaged in intensive seasonal work, the worms are very sensitive and are adversely affected by pesticides.
“In parallel with the silkworm farming activities concentrated in the villages, artisans in cities such as Damascus produce unique brocade fabrics using metal and silk threads, using centuries-old designs, ” she says.
Each Syrian city is unique in its silk industry, and Maya adds: “Aleppo ’ s pigeons create silk squares embellished with abstract, symmetrical shapes in white, red, and black.
In Homs and Hama, weavers create traditional striped fabrics.
Craftswomen produce dresses that take days to make, dyeing them in a method of attachment and binding called the "waistcoat".
It is not surprising to pass by the neighborhood of Bab Sharqi in Damascus, to read on the entrance of one of the buildings the words: "The textile factory of Anton Elias Mezner, founded in 1890", as the old Damascus embraces a long history of silk weaving.
The silk industry.
Resist!
The city of Drakish is one of the Syrian cities famous for its silk industry.
But its famous factory has been out of operation since 2009, despite the government ’ s announcement in 2017 of a three-phase plan aimed at bringing it back into production.
The last decline in the silk industry began in the early 1990s due to low economic viability and higher costs of raising silkworms than cocoons.
In addition to the import of industrial silk.
Agricultural engineer Ali Ismail told "Eram News": "The difficulties of breeding silkworms boils down to the provision of berries leaves in time.
And the suffering is in the speed of marketing, where the sale must take place within 10 days before the production is ruined. ”
The Ministry of Agriculture says it has distributed more than 150,000 mulberry trees at a nominal price to breeders.
In addition to the support with expertise and equipment almost free of charge.
These grants are expected to bear fruit in bringing Syrian silk back to the global front soon.

Embraced the traditional crafts in its small museum Baharat Hanania Damascene
Damascus-Sana
You cannot pass through the Damascene neighborhood of Hanania in Bab Sharqi without being stopped by the time at the gallery of Mrs. Sophia Al-Ashqar “Um Elias ”. The smell of the place leads you voluntarily to stand at the heritage of nearly a hundred years old, looking at the cloth, moving your eyes to the copper and mosaic, and drowning in the place to come the laugh of Umm Elias and take you back to its small museum.
As her sons and residents of Haret Hananiya describe it as a “fortress ”, it is a fortress that stands as the steadfastness of Syrian women through time. Umm Elias does not only tell visitors to her heritage museum about the concept and value of the work, but she sees it embodied in her spirit and in every piece she weaved with her management of the gallery for nearly 70 years, including during the war on Syria. The development of the Syrian kaftan.
The love of the homeland and the authenticity of Umm Elias overshadowed her work many times, and she acted as a guide to the foreign tourist about the history of Syria and the age of each piece she acquired, reminding them that Damascus is the oldest inhabited city in history, and stressing that she did not tire and did not tire of that task, especially when visiting tourist delegations to Haret Hanania and their acquisition of the heritage craft in the gallery.
Mrs. Al-Ashqar talked about how she developed the Damascene kaftan from a traditional folk costume to a modern one that has been mixed for centuries until the present day. Umm Elias, 83, manipulated velvet, silk, agbani and brocade fabrics with her fingers as if she were manipulating her grandchildren, to come up with a piece of kaftan that mimics the fashion of our times and the new taste.
The icon of Haret Hanania moves around the gallery, continuing to talk, and with her warm voice narrates her beginning with the needle and thread since she was ten years old, and like any girl, the first dress she knitted was for her little doll, and developed her passion for cloth and sewing, considering that her father and grandfather have been professionals for a long time. Qar received the third prize in the mosaic industry at the Damascus Exhibition in 1936.
Umm Elias did not spare us time, and despite her fatigue, which seemed clear on the features of her face, love and determination had a stronger presence appeared in the explanation and give the most accurate information. She talked about the visit of senior guests to the gallery of artists, intellectuals and prominent personalities. However, she did not think to move to another area outside Bab Sharqi. Glass, as well as icons, begins to live from 45 years to almost 100 years.
Umm Elias goes back to an ancient time whose effects were evident on a copper table occupied by Damascene hands, through the technique of downloading silver on copper, and is more than eighty years old, in addition to the types of wood such as mosaic, which is famous for her father 's craftsman Haneen Ashqar. With her hands she opens a wooden piece of art created by her father, a mosaic table that includes several levels of toys. Sometimes chess, sometimes Elias's mother turns it into a dice game.
It then moves on to Damascene ornaments, icons and small brides made of cloth to stained glass, which gives the place the spirit of life and confirms that each piece and masterpiece has a cultural significance rooted in the culture of Syria.
So that Umm Elias remains one of the many Syrian women who went through the war, and their heads are nostalgic like the ears of wheat, but they did not break them, and they remain tender and shameless, raising their muses to them whenever their names are mentioned.

First Lady Asma Al-Assad met with a delegation from the National Records and Archives Authority of Oman, which recently visited Syria for several days to establish an Omani-Syrian cooperation.
The meeting focused on the essential role of documents in the writing and preservation of history, as their role is not limited to this, despite its great importance, it is also an essential means of managing and organizing the present, and is part of the manufacture and ownership of the future.
Ms. Asma al-Assad pointed out the great importance of documentation at various levels of the state and society together, as the document represents our vision of events and facts, and gives us the possibility of knowledge management, which makes collective thinking about these events, and without the document the events become mere stories told by generations without benefiting from their lessons and lessons.
The first lady pointed out that the document also constitutes the intellectual reference that protects identity and maintains belonging, especially since the war that Syria has experienced for 12 years has had a great impact on the human who lives and practices intangible heritage, in addition to the damage caused to the material heritage.
During the meeting, Hamad bin Mohammed al-Dhuwayani, head of the delegation, presented the Omani experience in organizing, managing and investing documents to organize the work of institutions and state administration with higher flexibility and reference performance, stressing his country ’ s readiness to cooperate with Syria in the project of documentation and preservation of heritage.
The meeting was attended by Dr. Buthaina Shaaban, Special Adviser in the Presidency of the Republic.

The industry in Syria.
An art that resists extinction.
The "Cairo News" channel presented a television report entitled "The manufacture of clogs in Syria..
An art that resists extinction. ” In the past, the Kabbaq market was crowded before the holidays, to buy what was considered essential with the new Eid clothes, until the Shami proverb said, “The one who doesn ’ t get around the Eid money. ”
The report said that the market no longer has a share of its name, with the approach of Eid, we found only a few shops specialized in Qabqab, pointing out that uncle Abu Abdo, who has been a professional manufacture of Qabqab for more than 60 years, is keen to bequeath it to his children and grandchildren for fear of extinction.
Despite his age and illness, which exhausts him, he supervises himself daily on the details of the production and how to produce it in the form that people are familiar with and loved, as is firmly established in the character of Ghawar al-Tousha.
Abu Abdo said: "All of our relatives enter the Eid with clogs, and we are working to feed the Gulf countries with them, and we try to make clogs in fashion so that it suits all customers."
According to the report, which was presented by the Cairo News Channel, customers buy it as a souvenir after it has been turned into a heritage, and the customer does not distinguish between its various types such as Zahaf, Araissi and Shabrawi, and does not distinguish between the type of Khasbah, whether it is Hura, Safsafa or pine.

Traditional Syrian glassblowing techniques have been preserved and refined over many decades, with families maintaining workshops that often span multiple generations.

The craft has deep historical roots in the region, with Damascus being recognized as one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities.

Reimagining climate-resilient food systems in a post-pandemic world

Published on Aug 23, 2022 11:19 AM IST

The article has been authored by Shoba Suri and Aparna Roy.

ByORF

Thinking about the future of global food systems has now become more critical than ever. Climate change impacts—among them, shifts in soil quality, precipitation, pest regimes, seasonal growth patterns, along with land degradation and reduction in biodiversity—have impacted agricultural and aquatic food production systems across the world. Indeed, the causal links between climate change and food security are manifesting more clearly, particularly in the developing world, where nutrition deficiency is common, as is the predominance of rain-fed, farm-centred agricultural systems. This report reimagines the future of food, and how countries of the Global South, including India, can build resilient food systems.

There is no dearth of problems associated with nutrition and public health: hunger, malnutrition, food-borne diseases, and food insecurity, among them. The World Health Organization (WHO) has found that every year, nearly 600 million people (7.5% of the global population) fall ill from eating contaminated food and 420,000 die because of it. Children under five bear 40% of the food-borne disease burden. Almost one-third of the world’s population did not have access to adequate food in 2020; three billion could not get healthy food. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has found that around 720-811 million face hunger. Undernourishment rates among children have also been rising alarmingly.

The issues of poor food safety, food insecurity, and unsustainable food systems are closely interlinked. These have been further exacerbated by climate change and the Covid-19 pandemic, and have disproportionately affected some populations more than others. The importance of access to safe and nutritious food therefore cannot be overemphasised.

RELATED STORIES

With a rapidly growing human population and burgeoning demand for food, intensive use of agrochemicals—i.e. pesticides and fertilisers—has become the norm to ramp up production of livestock and crops. Without chemical pesticides, and crop protection in general, more than half of the world’s crops would be destroyed by insects, weeds, and diseases. Food production per acre would decline rapidly; the area of land used for crop cultivation would have to increase. This, in turn, would have detrimental effects on wildlife habitats and ecosystems and dilute the quality of soil due to erosion. There is also the likelihood of a rise in food prices and reduced food output.

The use of agrochemicals, however, comes at a perilous cost. Chemical contamination changes the biochemical composition of food, and can lead to a range of diseases from diarrhoea to cancer and neurodegenerative conditions, reproductive and developmental changes, and respiratory damage. In the United States (US), for instance, 35% of all cancer cases may be attributed to poor diets (i.e., low consumption of whole grains and high intake of processed food) and the chemical pesticides present in the food consumed. Some 385 million cases of acute unintentional pesticide poisoning occur annually worldwide, of which 11,000 result in deaths.

It is pertinent to note that even as developed countries use 80% of the pesticides produced globally, more than half of the recorded deaths due to pesticides are reported in the poorer countries. This underscores the importance of food safety regulations; in the Global South, there is lack of occupational safety standards on food composition, weak enforcement of rules and regulations, and inadequate knowledge of pesticide use.

In Egypt, for example, milk samples tested in 1990 contained between 60-80% of pesticide residue, while in the US, 50% had such residue. Therefore, the nature of the food being consumed is taking a heavy toll on public health, more so in poor economies. Food and agricultural regulations around the world must pay attention not only to the increasing food demand and the need for growth in production, but also to the safety of the food being produced.

Away from the conflicts and conflicts that the world is witnessing, or the more that may come from them, and also away from the pandemics and epidemics that once disappeared we were surrounded by a new arrival, that is, in an ideal world that is on the journey of time from the past to the future, I have an urgent question about what agriculture has achieved so far, and whether it will succeed in the future in silencing hunger and bellies.
There is no doubt that today ’ s agriculture is not like yesterday, it is much more efficient than it was centuries and decades ago, yields more and quality better, but its march has become in a worrying situation, needs a lot of work and improvements, especially as the challenges do not delay, and the coming are more severe and harder, on the one hand we find the world population is increasing feverish, and they will, according to expectations, There is no water and rain as we are used to, and no agricultural land as abundant as it used to be, so that the language of the figures continues to confirm and support, and even stress, that the equation of population and food in that year will not be fully met until the expected demand for food is met at the time, a demand that will increase by 50% to 60% from today, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The expected increase in population will be accompanied by a large urban expansion, which will not only increase consumption, but will change patterns and habits: if in the 1990s the average person in the world consumed 36 kg of processed food and meat annually, this figure will jump in the next 10 years to 45 kg.
However, hopes are still pinned on modern technologies, because, as always, they bring us all the solutions and answers, and what they were providing for agriculture in the recent past of plows and methods of irrigation and harvesting, now provided in the form of a superior artificial intelligence, accommodating various changes, and prescribing the most effective treatments.
Yes, there is a lot coming for the benefit of agriculture and farmers. Artificial intelligence, through precision imaging devices and drones, collects huge amounts of data in real time, then processes and presents real time facts and solutions to farmers. It monitors soil quality in terms of composition and texture, monitors crop safety in terms of diseases, insects and pests. He makes comparisons, so that he can observe the stages of growth from seeds and cuttings to fruits and full maturation, and it is enough to send a simple notice to the farmer, such as “Good fruit and it is time to pick it! ”
The potential does not stop there, but extends to livestock, as a key component of the agricultural economy, where artificial intelligence algorithms track herds, monitor their health and food safety, and then notify farmers as soon as they sense unusual ills and patterns, which often indicate disease and malnutrition.
Thus, we find that the future of agriculture depends fatally on the adoption of cognitive solutions, and in order to employ the enormous potential of artificial intelligence in the field of agriculture, these solutions must become accessible, more applicable, and more importantly affordable for all, whether in rich or poor countries, and only then will AI succeed in creating a huge agricultural revolution, which will feed people in the future, even if they increase billions and billions.

## Global Consumption Trends

While specific data on avocado consumption trends is not provided in the documents, the broader context indicates a significant increase in global food demand.

How has avocado consumption changed in recent years?

According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), global food demand is projected to increase by 50-60% by 2050, driven by population growth (expected to reach 10 billion) and changing dietary preferences.

This general trend applies to high-value crops like avocados, which have gained popularity in Western diets, particularly among health-conscious and vegan consumers.

Content: Welfare beyond consumption

  • In developed regions worldwide, so-called anti-consumers are increasingly resisting high-level consumption lifestyles or shifting to alternative forms of consumption. A general reduction in consumption levels is considered necessary to attain global sustainability goals. However, knowledge regarding the factors driving people to deliberately consume less and how anti-consumption affects individuals' well-being is limited. Against this background, this study considers the influence of human values and the well-being effects of two types of anti-consumption: voluntary simplicity and collaborative consumption. Based on representative data from the US (N = 1075) and Germany (N = 1070), the findings show that the two anti-consumption types do not reduce the well-being of individuals' but in some cases, even improve it, which suggests that lowering consumption can not only help protect environmental resources but also serve the greater good of society.

In particular, this relationship holds among collaborative consumers with a strong need for cognition, i.e., a cognitive thinking style that involves a high level of decision control. According to the study results, opposite value orientations are the drivers of voluntary simplicity and collaborative consumption (i.e., a focus on self-transcendence versus self-enhancement). These findings are comparable in both countries; however, the strength of the effects differs.

According to a study by the University of St. Louis, fish oil supplements may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke in those with good cardiovascular health.
Fish oil is known for its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, and is recommended for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

The study focused on how fish oil supplementation affects various stages of cardiovascular disease, and then the risk of premature death.
To confirm this, the research team examined the effect of taking fish oil supplements on atrial fibrillation, heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure, as well as mortality, and increased chances of those in good heart health to develop problems such as atrial fibrillation, or serious cardiovascular problems such as heart attack, within the framework of normal consumption of fatty, low-fat fish and fish oil supplements, between 40 and 69 years. In an average period of 12 years.
The study eventually found that participants had atrial fibrillation, although initially in good cardiovascular health, many had heart failure and others had a stroke and heart attack.
Further analysis showed that regular consumption of fish oil supplements had different effects on cardiovascular health, disease progression and risk of premature death.
The researchers reported that participants, who had no cardiovascular problems at the start of the study, regular supplementation with fish oil was associated with a 13% increased risk of atrial fibrillation and a 5% increased risk of stroke.
On the other hand, participants who had already suffered from cardiovascular disease at the start of the study were less likely to have these problems by taking fish oil supplements regularly, as well as a 9% lower risk of developing heart defects.

Ismailia – Sabri Ghanem
Leave a comment and read the comments of the readers.
Major General Sherif Fahmy Bishara, Governor of Ismailia, directed the permanent follow-up of the economic situation and goods in the markets, and to ensure their validity and address the monopoly of goods and commercial fraud.
In implementation of these directives, the Directorate of Supply and Internal Trade in Ismailia, in cooperation with the Directorate of Supply, carried out several ration campaigns to tighten control on the markets, which resulted in the seizure of 120 bottles of expired soda water in a supermarket in a second neighborhood, as well as the seizure of fish inside refrigerators, which are run without a license in an amount of 1550 kg. Seizures were seized and legal action taken.
The campaigns also resulted in the editing of 53 minutes of financing, including 3 minutes of not announcing prices, 5 minutes of not carrying a health certificate, 1 minutes of unknown source goods, 1 minutes of slaughter outside Al-Salkhana, 2 minutes of expired goods commercial fraud, 8 minutes of not announcing ration decisions, and 1 minutes of management without a license.
With regard to the supervision of municipal bakeries, 6 minutes of production of underweight bread, 4 minutes of production of non-conforming bread, 7 minutes of non-announcement of operating dates, and 15 minutes of uncleanliness of kneading tools have been edited.

In decreasing the levels of immunity of poultry and enhancing their chances of contracting diseases.
« Agriculture » reveals the alternatives to feed and their impact on the low level of immunity of poultry
The Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, represented by the Animal Production Research Institute, announced alternatives to poultry feed and their impact on production and reduce the spread of diseases.
Feed Alternatives
A report by the Animal Production Research Institute on feed substitutes and their direct relationship to the decline of poultry immunity and disease, and the implications of this on the stages and volume of production, in addition to its role in reducing the levels of immunity of poultry and enhancing the chances of disease.
The report explained that the normal diet of poultry and all waterfowl, depends on plant and animal protein, unlike cattle, cows and sheep, which rely on plant protein only.
The report pointed out that changing the patterns of natural nutrition, and limiting the diet of poultry to plant protein only, leads to negative consequences, which enhance the chances of disease, as a result of the low level of immunity.
The report pointed out that animal protein is responsible for the management of poultry needs of vitamin B12, which plays an active role in enhancing the immunity of animals, and doubles the levels of resistance to diseases, which is reflected positively on the expected productivity rates over the course of the season, in addition to rationalizing the volume of spending on the therapeutic system.
The report stressed that the old breeding systems in the 1970s took this issue into account when producing feed alternatives and developing plans and programs for poultry feed, which consists of 90% of traditional plant feed and 10% of animal concentrates, and the same in table egg production projects, with animal component rates reduced to 7%, pointing to the success of this strategy in reaching optimal health rates for all herds.
The report pointed to the consequences of neglecting these basic rules, limiting poultry feeding systems to plant feed alternatives only, and blocking animal components, and not adding them in the usual controlled proportions, which resulted in the weakening of the immunity of the herds, and double the chances of disease, with what it represents economic losses.
The report stressed the risks of relying on locally manufactured animal concentrates, because they do not conform to the standard and health specifications, stipulated according to scientific studies and experiments, pointing out that the use of imported concentrates was the best option for the masses of breeders.

Content: 'Shocking 'scientific study warns against eating freshwater fish
A recent scientific study has warned that eating one freshwater fish a year is equivalent to drinking water containing "persistent chemicals" for a month.
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) are used in many communities, but are also linked to cancer and other health conditions.
The average level of total PFAS in fish was 9500 ng / kg, but this increased to 11,800 ng / kg.
Researchers from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) analyzed 500 samples of locally caught fish from bodies of water across the United States.
According to the Daily Mail, the researchers found that eating contaminated fish is equivalent to drinking water for a month with a PFAS concentration of 48 parts per trillion – a level that could be harmful.
The average level of total PFAS in fish was 9500 ng / kg, but this increased to 11,800 ng / kg for those caught in the Great Lakes, 280 times more than the amount recorded in fish caught and sold commercially.
One would have to buy and eat the fish from the supermarket for an entire year to absorb the equivalent level of PFAS from just one serving of freshwater fish.
Although many manufacturers are phasing out their products, they are still routinely discovered around us.
Study author David Andrews said: “People who consume freshwater fish, especially those who regularly fish and eat fish, are at risk of alarming levels of PFAS in their bodies. ”
“I grew up and I would go fishing every week and eat those fish.
But now when I see the fish, all I think about is contamination with perfluorinated sulfonate (PFAS).
There are about 12,000 PFAS in existence which have many uses, including fire fighting foams, non-stick coatings on pans and textiles.
They were first developed in the 1940s, but since then many scientific tests have linked synthetic chemicals to health problems.
Although many manufacturers are phasing out their products, they are still routinely discovered around us.
Their longevity is due to the bond they all hold between carbon and fluorine atoms that nothing in nature can break.
PFAS is believed to enter the environment through industrial emissions, transportation from packaging, sewage and evaporation from foams.
The extremely strong bond between carbon and fluorine means they can pass through most water treatment systems unharmed, as well as into the bloodstream.
PFAS has been found in the bloodstream of almost everyone, including newborns, and has been linked to infertility, behavioral problems, birth defects, high cholesterol levels, and even various types of cancer, including kidney, testicular, and ovarian diseases.

Title:

Content: 6 vitamins that can expose you to cancer, stroke and nerve damage
The food supplement market is not as tightly regulated as the drug market.
This makes consumers more vulnerable to the wrong sale of goods.
It is important to note that most dietary supplements are safe, but some of them can pose health risks, especially when taken in large doses.
What Are Food Additives?
A dietary supplement includes everything from vitamins and minerals to plant and biosimilar foods.
However, for the most part, people use a “supplement ” to refer to a single vitamin or mineral preparation or multivitamin.
The evidence for the benefits of taking dietary supplements is mixed at best.
However, evidence linking dietary supplements to health problems is accumulating.
Harvard Health provides an overview of studies linking high doses of vitamin supplements to a number of health problems.
The health authority shall preface its assessment with the following words:
"Most supplements are safe to take, but there are exceptions."
It says:
High doses of beta-carotene are associated with an increased risk of lung cancer in smokers.
• Supplemental calcium and vitamin D may increase the risk of kidney stones
• High doses of vitamin E can lead to stroke caused by brain hemorrhage
• Vitamin K can interfere with the anticoagulant effect of blood thinning drugs.
• Taking large amounts of vitamin B6 for a year or longer has been associated with nerve damage, which can lead to impaired body movements.
It is important to note that supplements may play an important role for some high-risk groups.
