Sept 08 Flickr photos I have just discovered Flickr which looks like a great way to organise and share photos. I especially like being able to view photos as a slideshow by clicking the icon on the top right of the web page. It only took a few seconds to upload a few Yorkshire food pics to start with, and it is easy to add tags, descriptions, comments and more... |

Crazy Cargo New section on Airport
Watch website, see Air Freight link. This is mainly
about non-food air cargo, in particular shipments which do
not seem sufficiently important to necessitate air freight, with its higher
environmental impacts compared to other modes of transport. Articles about
all sorts of cargo will be posted e.g. oil drilling and maintenance equipment,
construction materials, racing cars, fast fashion, statues etc.

April 07 The Chill-Chain in the Sky Food air freight is on the rise. Cargo is growing faster than passenger flights, and the 'chill-chain in the sky' which consists mainly of perishable food such as fruit, vegetables and fish, plus flowers and living plants, is the fastest growing sector for many intercontinental air freight flows. Paper for Green Economics Institute conference, Oxford University 3-4 April 07 outlines developments around the world including airport infrastructure and refrigeration from farm to plate. |

Fresh vegetable oil project
Asian Healthy Community Network, Ethnic Foods Action Group
and Rose Bridger invite food companies to work with us to produce and market
a freshly pressed vegetable oil like the traditional oils used for cooking
in Pakistan and other South Asian countries. The product would have an attractive
point-of-difference from 'pure' vegetable oils which have undergone multiple
stages of chemical and heat treatment, often in Export Processing Zones with
poor environmental and employment conditions in countries including India
and Pakistan. Asian Healthy Community Network has good knowledge of traditional
oil pressing techniques. We would be particularly interested in the possibility
of using locally grown crops to create a local supply chain. For more info
contact me Rose Bridger
