Overcoming Barriers to Walk With Ease Implementation in Community Organizations

OvercOming barriers with prOducer OrganizatiOns

rising incomes are likely to continue to put pressure on food demand. International prices for most agricultural commodities are set to remain at 2010 levels or higher, at least for the next decade (OECD-FAO 2010). Small scale producers in many developing countries were not able to reap the benefits of high food prices during the 2007-2008 food price crises. And yet, this upward food price tren...

Random walk with barriers

Restrictions to molecular motion by barriers (membranes) are ubiquitous in porous media, composite materials and biological tissues. A major challenge is to characterize the microstructure of a material or an organism nondestructively using a bulk transport measurement. Here we demonstrate how the long-range structural correlations introduced by permeable membranes give rise to distinct feature...
