The Global Food Donation Policy Atlas has issued a recent report in order to recommend ways to increase food donations, reduce food waste, and fight hunger, which may help Kenyan leaders meet 2030 food waste reduction goals.
Food donation can reroute eatable food—that would otherwise give off greenhouse gasses in a landfill—to those experiencing hunger. According to the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, 3.5 million Kenyans, roughly 37 percent of the population, face severe hunger. At the same time, the Policy Atlas reports roughly 40 percent of food produced within Kenya goes to waste. But Broad Leib, Deputy Director of Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic (FLPC), sees some promising changes. "While progress is not happening as quickly as needed, Kenya's food loss index has been steadily reduced from 1,744 metric tons in 2017, to1,531 in 2018, to 1,446 metric tons in 2019, indicating a steady improvement and national commitment to food loss reduction," reports Broad Leib.
According to the Policy Atlas, motivating food donation with rewards is particularly important, which helps food donors and food recovery organizations make up for costs necessary for recovery, storing, processing, and transporting food for donation.
"A major driver of food waste is inconsistent or unclear date labels that cause confusion among all actors along the value chain and limit the ability of businesses to donate food. This increases the likelihood that much safe food will go to waste," Broad Leib tells Food Tank. However, he acknowledges Kenya's current dual (双的) date labeling laws. While food may lose its freshness over time, it is still edible before expiration (到期). Dual date labeling on packaged foods reduces confusion by defining dates for both safety and quality. This helps reduce considerable waste and responsibility for donors.
Broad Leib believes that the private sector can also play a significant role in decreasing food waste in Kenya. It is vital for consumer education campaigns. FLPC's research shows that public-private initiatives can help raise awareness among consumers and donors around issues of food waste and food donation.

On the second floor of the Zitong Art Gallery, 43-year-old Jiang Xiaoqi n is working on her painting in a studio, doubles as part of an exhibition hall. She draws some yellow from her palette (调色板) and tips it on her canvas (画布) before stopping (check) if it is too thick. Now and then, she stands back a pace or two, takes a survey of her painting and then (decide) whether to apply more.
Around her are five other men and women, (stand) in front of their respective easels (画架) and working on their own paintings. They look exactly like those (profession) artists that one would meet in an art academy.
Only they aren't. They are farmers from Dujing village, the administrative seat of Zitong township, Chun'an county East China's Zhejiang province.
Starting to learn painting only three years ago, Jiang has already made name for herself. Indeed, she is (warm) known as "Sister Corn" for her corn-themed paintings and artistic (creation), especially after her oil painting-titled Corn, unsurprisingly—was sold for 7,500 yuan at a special exhibition (hold) in Shanghai in 2020 featuring 61works by Zitong's farmers.

"Women do not own lands in my community except if they are able to buy one, as most of the lands in a family are passed on to the male children. So a woman who intends to own a land must be prepared to work hard."
Monica Maigari was born and raised in her native community of Madakiya, located in the southern part of Kaduna state of northwestern Nigeria. In 2014, her achievements as a farmer, community leader, and women's advocate won her recognition as an Oxfam Female Food Hero. Since that time, she has deepened her involvement in the local community while sharing her skills with influential audiences.
Monica has been a farmer for more than 30 years. Despite great challenges faced by rural women farmers, such as land accessibility, labour costs, market access, and climate change, she has achieved great success. She started with a small field for crop cultivation in 1984 then expanded into various crops and livestock farming. Like all farmers in her region, Monica's agricultural productivity is threatened by climate change. She is leading her community in adapting to the effects while challenging policymakers to act.
In November 2014, out of the 1,280 contestants nationwide, Monica won the Female Food Hero title for her innovative and leadership qualities. Against local practices, she chose to purchase farmland with her prize money in order to reduce the cost of renting a land and help plough back (把……再投资) that money into her agribusiness.
She describes the FFH as being a truly life changing experience, "I acquired several skills. I was taught the value chain. My productivity and income has steadily increased. I am more financially stable." Since her recognition from Oxfam, Monica has been in demand as a speaker throughout Nigeria and abroad, and she is now able to educate other female farmers. Realizing this yet always humble, Monica simply describes herself as "a hard-working woman devoted to encouraging women especially those less privileged to go into agriculture".

Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today's "eyes in the sky" technology to make sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.
Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board.
That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews' efforts.
By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don't need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.

2. He was not only a genius, but also a (courage) and kind person.
Einstein was born in Germany on 14 March
1879. He (enter) university in 1896 and graduated in
1900. In 1905, he earned a doctorate in physics and published four extraordinary physics papers. In 1922, he (award) the Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. In 1933, he was forced (flee) Germany and (eventual) took up a position as a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, USA.
Although Einstein was a genius, he sometimes, forgot things. He was loved by his friends and neighbors for his humor. He even made friends with a little girl, asked for help with her homework.
In 1955, Einstein passed . The whole world mourned the great loss of the scientist. Till now, Einstein is remembered and respected by the public.
