International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’s Post

🌾High quality and climate-resilient crops help feed the world's growing population. Visit this interactive page to learn how we use nuclear techniques to enhance food production in Bangladesh: atoms.iaea.org/3sUQQMO #Atoms4Climate #COP28

Nuclear in agriculture is an interesting market to tap in when you see the food crises being faced in major regions around Earth. The ability to have reliable supply of crops has the ability to solve world hunger. I am particularly interested in this area of research especially on what are the other elements of earth that can utilize this technology.

I appreciate the opportunity given by the Food Safety and Control Section to talk about the harmonization of phytosanitary irradiation treatments, highlighting the contributions from the Joint FAO/International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Centre on Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture. #Atoms4Food

It's not just the clean energy transition that is putting demand on climate commodities we don't have (in the ground and processing capacity) here in the United States (and the West broadly for that matter). Climate Commodities

Magnificent initiative About 10% of the food sold commercially would be counterfeited or adulterated. Among the most affected products are milk, olive oil or fish (source: The Atlantic). 60% of cases of fraud are dissolution or substitution of food products by others. Thus, to guarantee the authenticity of products, the isotope profile of agri-food products appears to be an essential method to check the ingredients. This can protect the reputation of companies and promote customer loyalty. #nutrition #foodsecurity #isotopes

The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the UAE and South Korea is expected to have significant impacts on businesses in both countries: 1. Economy and Investment 2. Conventional Energy and Clean Energy. 3. Peaceful Nuclear Energy. 4. Defense and Defense Technology. 5. Education and Culture. 6. Healthcare. 7. Agriculture. 8. Space. 9. Advanced Technology. 10. Development of Science. 11. Intellectual Property. 12. SMEs and Startups. 13. Cooperation in Railway infrastructure. 17. Climate Change (COP28).

If these data are true (and we know, Europe is Europe), I wonder why we condemn so much nuclear power. Even counting nuclear wastes and the explosion risk, the numbers of induced deaths would be lesser than those triggered by air pollution. For example, the estimates of the aftermath of Chernobyl disaster are around 60,000 deaths vs the 250k in 2021 due to air pollution within Europe. Perhaps, our concerns against nuclear power stem from psicological factor which is related to the spatial density of deaths: Nuclear risk concern specific areas, air pollution is more...spreaded.

Climate change has led to a booming black market in fake virgin and extra virgin olive oil. This article from the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) describes how scientists are able to tell the difference between extra virgin olive oil from different regions with between 86 per cent and 93 per cent accuracy. #foodservice #foodserviceindustry #restaurantindustry #restaurantsupply #fooddistributor #foodmanufacturing #foodmanufacturer #foodmanufacturers #foodmarketing #oliveoil #foodsafety #foodandagriculture #supplychain #foodscience #foodscienceandtechnology #foodscientist https://lnkd.in/gJ6D3ARZ

Today is #WorldSeagrassDay! 🌊🌱 Did you know that beneath the ocean's surface lies a powerful ally in the fight against climate change? Seagrass meadows and other #BlueCarbon habitats are not only breathtakingly beautiful but also crucial for our planet's health, capturing and storing CO2 from the atmosphere at rates even higher than forests! The IAEA supports countries in the use of nuclear and isotopic techniques to better understand, strengthen and restore ecosystems, from mountaintops to ocean depths, including seagrass, wetlands, forests and farmland. #Atoms4Climate

Harvard University that found that fossil fuels caused 8.7 million deaths globally in 2018, which is about one in five of all deaths that year. The article also explains how coal, oil and natural gas contribute to air pollution and its health effects, such as respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. 300 deaths are linked to nuclear accidents, that includes the major accidents at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima, as well as other incidents involving nuclear submarines, radiotherapy and industrial sources. The article also lists the death tolls by country, which shows that most of the fatalities occurred in the former Soviet Union. you want safe you want green you want ROI most importantly protect our children and their children go nuclear look at facts and stop twatting around #nuclearenergy #climatechange #climateaction #climatetech #gogreen
