• Today, the Honourable Pascale St-Onge, Minister of Canadian Heritage, and the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, launched a survey to help support the development of resale rights for artists.
• Resale rights for artists would benefit visual artists and their heirs when their work is resold.
• Resale rights would allow visual artists to be rewarded as their career progresses and their reputation grows.
• Resale rights were included in the Berne Convention as an optional, inalienable right for artists.

• It thrives on poverty and social factors such as malnutrition, poor housing, overcrowding, unsafe work environments and stigma.
• But knowledge about social determinants alone does not always translate into tangible action and progress.
• The research found that providing food baskets to people with TB and their households could go a long way to prevent and mitigate the disease.

No easy silver bullets

• In 2021, 1.6 million people died of TB.
• In Africa, TB incidence is high (212 per 100,000 population) with a high case fatality rate because of the HIV epidemic.
• This trial recruited 10,345 household members of 2,800 patients with lung TB.
• Nutrition could also protect against other conditions such as anaemia, diarrhoea and respiratory infections, but these were not not the main focus of the trial.
• An early weight gain in the first two months was associated with 60% lower risk of TB mortality.

Getting food to patients

• The cost of a food basket was US$13 per TB patient per month and US$4 per household member per month and could be delivered, even in rural areas, using field staff.
• Emerging data suggests that while the scheme improves the treatment completion rates among patients with TB in India, they often receive their payments late.
• Many countries, including India, have other social security programmes, including public distribution systems to provide food grains at subsidised prices.

Implications for South Africa

• South Africa is one of the countries labelled by the World Health Organization as a “high TB burden country”.
• Statistics South Africa reported that in 2021 2.6 million people had inadequate access to food and a further 1.1 million stated they had “severe” inadequate access to food.
• With high levels of food insecurity and undernutrition in South Africa, fuelled by the highest levels of inequality, it is critical that South Africa includes social benefits for people with TB and those in their households to reduce the prevalence of TB in the country and to meet the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

• This is a result of the growing food demand, burgeoning global population, rising malnutrition and hunger, and unfavorable climate change.
• Due to the chemical's growing demand, high sustainability, and economic viability, the amino acid category had the largest share in the industry in the past.

  The share of the foliar treatment category in 2021 was about 75%.
• The liquid form of biostimulants also enables leaves to absorb the nutrients more quickly and promotes cellular activity.

• The market report estimates growth at a CAGR of 12.2% during the forecast period.
• Biofertilizers provide sufficient amount of nutrients to plants, which stimulates plant development and enhances crop quality as well as output.
• Utilizing biofertilizers expands the surface area that can absorb nutrients outside of the depletion zone of the root.
• Rise in usage of biofertilizers in cereals and grains is a major factor anticipated to drive the global Biofertilizers Market in the near future.
