Edible QR Codes Make Sustainable Sushi Fun and Convenient. Guests at the upscale Harney Sushi in San Diego now get a little something extra with their fresh tuna and crab rolls: edible QR (quick response) codes. When scanned with a smart phone or tablet, the codes take users to the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) FishWatch website, where they can learn about the sustainability of the seafood they are consuming.

Harney Sushi’s owners, Dustin Summerville and Kirk Harrison, and Executive Chef Robert Ruiz have been working with a number of fishery stakeholders and NOAA scientists at the agency’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center in nearby La Jolla, California, to develop a local economy and culture of sustainable seafood. Harney Sushi is one of the first U.S. restaurants to use edible QR codes, which are printed on rice paper with water-based, edible ink. In 2010, Harney’s Chef Ruiz won the grand prize at the San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival, and was named “Chef of the Fest.” I was born in Oceanside and grew up in San Diego.

Fiskonline. ICT and Rural Areas. Exchanging information and presenting examples of different types of RDP activity that have received EU co-finance from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) is an important aspect of the ENRD’s work. The recently published EAFRD Projects Brochure highlights a diverse range of innovative ICT projects from across the EU. All of the projects featured in the brochure have been submitted by NRNs as interesting rural development initiatives and useful contributions to building the ‘knowledge society’ in rural areas.

From Agroknow Blue Hackathon 2013, is the first in a series of events where hackers and developers meet to create and apply new ideas, targeting a sustainable and healthier future, in order to showcase the potential of Open Data and APIs that make access to marine environmental, hydrobiological and oceanographical data easier. It will be a hands-on workshop whose overall purpose will be to find out what existing tools can do, potentially when applied to new disciplines and types of literature, rather than developing new tools and techniques. This year's event will take place from Monday, July 1st to Tuesday, July 2nd 2013, will be organized and facilitated by Agro-Know Technologies and hosted by the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR) in Heraklion, Crete.

For this year's event we have identified a number of open data sets that programmers can work on, but we also have a set of challenges, provided by HCMR and the iMarine project that the participants may choose to work on. 1. 2.

Northern Periphery Programme The Northern Periphery Programme is one of thirteen Interreg IIIB programmes aimed at encouraging and supporting transnational co-operation between the regions of Europe. It provides the opportunity for organisations from the programme area to work together on joint projects concerning common issues and problems. The Northern Periphery Programme area shares many common features in terms of climate, sparsity of population, natural environment, complicated topography, culture and history. The overall aim of the programme is therefore to encourage joint projects that address the priorities for co-operation shared by the participating countries.

Through the exchange of knowledge and experience it is anticipated that some of the barriers to a more balanced development of the area can be overcome. The website of the Northern Periphery Programme provides all the basic information and documents on the programme. Free DARRA Help Desk Provided by Kainuun Etu, Finland.

Can Smartphones Guarantee the Freshest Fish? One of the oldest tricks in the fish monger’s world is trotting out the notion that the cod, snapper, flounder or mahi mahi you are about to be served is “fresh today.” In too many cases that translates into "the fish just arrived in the supermarket or restaurant this morning by truck or plane from some distant place.

" The reality, of course, is that the fish was most likely plucked from a farm or raised in nets from the sea many, many weeks before. I once sat in a salmon broker’s office at a fish farm in the south of Chile while she held out for higher prices as the fish sat on ice on a Santiago runway, waiting, ultimately for days, to be delivered. Thanks to some novel and enterprising partnerships between fishermen and chefs around the sea borders of the U.S. —literally from Maine to Alaska—some restaurants and fish sellers are now guaranteeing that the fish on your plate or in your cloth bag on its way home was swimming free just hours before. Can a smart phone app help revive the local fish market?

4 July 2012Last updated at 19:06 ET Fishermen can use the app to let people know what they have caught that day Britain's fisherman are facing tough times. But can modern technology help to revive the local fish market? Some south coast fisherman are using a new smart phone app to connect directly with consumers who want fresh and locally-sourced seafood. The Local Catch app and website means smart phone, tablet and computer users can bypass the supermarket and receive alerts telling them where they can buy seafood recently caught in their area. Creators South East Seafood, a body representing local seafood businesses in the south, said people can then visit their local fishmongers or arrange to meet fishermen down on the quayside to buy fresh fish straight from the boat.

This policy is designed to provide the Department of Agriculture (the department) employees with guidance in relation to their use and access to social media channels. For further information, contact us. Introduction Social media refers to the use of web-based or mobile technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogue. For the purposes of this policy, the term ‘social media channels’ will apply to any such technologies. The Australian Government’s “open government” policy statements released in 20101, encouraged agencies to consider the opportunities created by social media to more effectively engage with staff, stakeholders and the community.

Where are you right now? At work? Monday’s Wall Street Journal contained a section devoted to Information Technology, and in a piece called “Are You Talking To Me?” “It helps set the tone and personality of a brand if the boss weighs in on the conversation personally.” We don’t disagree, but sometimes the boss just doesn’t have the time to Tweet or post regularly to a blog.
