I plan on using this article to show the reality of how many products are in the market. This will be included in my food subtopic. The article helps even me realize the large scale of chemical engineering involved in the food industry.

Can we scale sustainability without consumers? (We Need a New Model)

Can we scale sustainability without consumers? (We Need a New Model) | Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR, Sustainability, SocioEconomic, Community | Scoop.it
From www.guardian.co.uk - January 27, 2012 5:05 AM

Scaling sustainability is vital for global prosperity and consumers need to be on board to make it happen, says Peter Lacy from Davos... @guardiansusbiz

To address the issue of scale and sustainable consumption, the fundamental dynamics of supply, demand and rules of the game will need to be shifted to support a world in which we are able to drive growth but with less impact on the natural environment.

Why the FDA Won't Act Against Agricultural Antibiotic Use

From www.organicconsumers.org - January 19, 2012 8:31 PM

On December 22, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) quietly posted a notice in the Federal Register that it was effectively reneging on its plan to reduce the use of antibiotics in agricultural animal feed - a plan it has been touting since 1977.

Now, with virtually no public announcement, the FDA has decided it will continue to allow livestock producers to use the drugs in feed, unabated; a move that is threatening food safety by contributing to the spread of new, antibiotic-resistant "super-germs."

Closing the gap between men and women in agriculture VIDEO

From www.youtube.com - January 16, 2012 5:22 AM

The world cannot eliminate hunger without closing the gap between men and women in agriculture. With equal access to productive resources and services, such as land, water and credit, women farmers can produce 20 to 30 percent more food, enough to lift 150 million people out of hunger.

Thoroughly thinking "sustainability" through before you leap

From www.environmentalleader.com - December 11, 2012 3:33 PM
Sustainability is a huge, complex, and daunting challenge. And a growing number of companies feel a sense of urgency to do something – anything – to show their stakeholders that they are paying attention.
We recently came across the Harvard Business Journal article, Act Fast, but Not Necessarily First. Author Frank Partnoy makes a compelling case for more deliberate decision-making, saying: ... http://www.environmentalleader.com/2012/12/11/why-you-should-wait-to-act-on-sustainability/

The Sharing Economy: Our Sustainable Future http://www.scoop.it/t/environmental-and-human-health/p/3668192618/the-sharing-economy-our-sustainable-future
pdjmoo's insight:

I believe the bottom line decision-making criteria for the 21st Century Should Be "Does this harm the planet (environment) or human health?  This should be held within the "cradle to cradle" concept, becoming mindful of our actions, innovations and manufacturing on a wholistic scale reminding us all that we depend on a healthy, balanced ecosystem for our very survival.  We need to become partners in stewardship of the planet, not just sustain the status quo

Biomorphic House by Pavie Architects & Design

Biomorphic House by Pavie Architects & Design | Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR, Sustainability, SocioEconomic, Community | Scoop.it
From www.dzgn.co - June 17, 2012 12:30 AM

Biomorphic House with organic skin designed by Pavie Architects & Design has aerodynamic shapes, and is situated 1000 meters over the Mediterranean Sea. It's formed to withstand winter storms perfectly and provides enough windows with transparent photovoltaic-cells to secure power sufficient for the heating, and electricity needs. The interior design is the natural extension of the inside of the skin. Free shaped floors, walls and ceilings give the feeling of a super luxurious space ship.

This pilot project, through a self-powered water electrolyze process, converts the obtained energy to hydrogen and saves it for a future use. Later, a hydrogen powered PEM-Fuel-Cell generator can supply electricity to the house, releasing pure water and reusable heat as side-products...
