Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
This study explores the food and nutrition security practices among artisanal and small-scale mining communities in Nigeria, revealing both strengths, such as access to local foods and purchasing power, and significant challenges, including meal skipping, poor water quality, and limited healthcare access. The findings emphasize the need for comprehensive interventions to improve nutrition, healthcare infrastructure, and social protection, which are essential for the well-being and sustainable development of these mining communities.
With an estimated 2 billion people worldwide suffering from iron deficiency — a condition linked to anemia, impaired childhood brain development, and higher infant mortality — researchers are racing to find more effective nutritional interventions. MIT scientists have developed a promising solution: tiny crystalline particles known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that can be used to fortify everyday foods and beverages, mixed into foods such as bread or sprinkled directly into drinks like coffee or tea.
In this episode of the "World We Want" podcast, Márcia Balisciano interviews Simona Bianchi, Assistant Professor at the ReStruct Group in the Faculty of Architecture at TU Delft. They talk about advancing climate-resilient building technologies, sustainable urban development, and the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in aligning research with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
This study explores the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in water distribution networks, identifying opportunities for enhancing information retrieval, improving water quality management, implementing predictive maintenance, and optimizing operations, while also addressing challenges related to data quality, scalability, and the need for expertise in both engineering and AI, ultimately providing insights for water utilities and policymakers on leveraging GenAI responsibly.
