"It is a terrible irony that those who grow our food cannot afford to feed their own families healthy, nutritious diets," said Gilbert F. Houngbo, President of IFAD.

Key Points: 
  • "It is a terrible irony that those who grow our food cannot afford to feed their own families healthy, nutritious diets," said Gilbert F. Houngbo, President of IFAD.
  • "With no savings and no access to capital, farming families also have no cushion against climate change and other shocks.
  • Today's Food Systems Summit is our chance to commit to concrete changes.
  • Rural small-scale farmers produce over 30 percent of global food, and up to 80 percent in parts of Africa and Asia.

Photovoltaic power stations (PV systems) are becoming more and more popular, as they allow to collect and recycle thermal energy of the Sun on industrial scale.

Key Points: 
  • Photovoltaic power stations (PV systems) are becoming more and more popular, as they allow to collect and recycle thermal energy of the Sun on industrial scale.
  • A promising addition to SiC is AlN (aluminum nitride), which has high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient and high heat resistance.
  • Now SiC/AlN composites are used mainly in electronics, but can potentially be used in different spheres, including solar energy.
  • - The further prospects lay is testing of the composite in the solar furnace to evaluate its efficiency as volumetric air receiver".
