Community FoodBank of New Jersey shipping and receiving operations, on January 20, 2016, in Hillside, New Jersey. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) partnered with the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, and Emergency Support Function #11 partners to respond to the disaster nutrition needs of those most severely impacted by Hurricane Sandy. FoodBank packaged and delivered USDA Foods as part of a Disaster Household Distribution Program to communities in need throughout New Jersey. The FoodBank utilized the processes it already had in place for packaging Commodity Supplemental Food Program boxes and lessons learned from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee to quickly serve 24,000 households affected by Hurricane Sandy. USDA FNS relies on strong partnerships with food banks, such as the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, and other organizations at the local, state, and federal levels to provide USDA Foods for disaster congregate and household feeding. USDA coordinated its disaster nutrition response efforts with the State under FEMA’s Emergency Support Function #11 - Agriculture and Natural Resources. At the Federal level, ESF #11 supports State, tribal, and local authorities and other Federal agency efforts to provide nutrition assistance to those most severely impacted by disasters.

Hazelnuts are a major product for agriculture in Georgia. As one of the country’s top 10 export commodities, they are a source of income for more than 50,000 farmers and dozens of processing facilities.
The country’s subtropical climate by the Black Sea shore offers particularly favourable conditions for their growth, luring international confectionary giants such as Ferrero to invest in local production.
"The livelihoods of around half of the Samegrelo region’s population are closely linked to hazelnut farming. In villages, almost everyone grows them. Cultivating hazelnuts is what helped us overcome the hardships of the 1990s,” said Demur Ardia, owner of SRT, one of the processing facilities in the Samegrelo region, the main homeland of hazelnut plantations and orchards in Georgia.
After more than 22 years in the business, Mr Ardia only recently decided to open his own hazelnut processing facility. For two years in a row his company has ranked among the top hazelnut exporters in terms of volume, exporting mainly to Germany and Italy, sometimes to the Czech Republic.
“Turkey is the world’s biggest producer and exporter of hazelnuts, it sets prices worldwide. Georgian hazelnuts are often sold at a discount compared to Turkish ones, so our focus should be on productivity and quality to achieve higher prices and a bigger piece of the pie,” said Mr Ardia.
The EBRD and the European Union (EU), under its EU4Business initiative, support Demur Ardia and other small and medium-sized entrepreneurs with similar drive and passion in Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine to help them to secure that bigger piece of the pie.
Each of these three countries benefits from the free trade area with the EU, the world's largest trading block with 500 million consumers.
Competitive small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered the backbone of any economy and Georgia’s is no exception. While the country has made significant progress outperforming other EU Eastern Partnership countries in creating a favourable institutional and operational environment for SMEs, challenges remain.
Enhanced access to finance, deeper knowledge of export market opportunities and boosting innovation are considered crucial for further SME growth.
The EBRD and the EU help SMEs in Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine to integrate European standards in their work by investing in production upgrades, boosting growth and increasing competitiveness not only on the European market but their local market as well.
Through partner banks, the EBRD provides credit lines for companies to foster stronger economic ties with the EU, which are complemented by grant incentives by the EU under its EU4Business initiative.
SRT is one of many companies that have been supported by this initiative, where they have been able to invest in modern equipment to ensure European quality standards for the final product, as well as receiving 15 per cent cashback on the whole investment.
SRT was also supported by advisory services through the EBRD SME Finance and Development Group, a complementary programme that also benefits from EU funding. The company was able to adopt standards to improve their overall food and hygiene quality and obtain the relevant ISO certificate, a universal recognition of compliance with global norms

Up for bid is an original photograph depicting an African sculpture of a man. The photograph is by artist, Erik Dalzen, and is titled "African Sculpture Tall Man Ironwood Giacometti." The photograph measures 8x10 inches (including border). Numbered 1/10 from a limited edition of 10 prints in this size. Signed, numbered, and dated on the back.
This photograph features a sculpture of a tall man*. The sculpture was hand-carved in South Africa, by local artisans, from ironwood, a dark wood renown for its incredible hardness. The stylized figure is reminiscent of Alberto Giacometti's surrealist figures through the similar usage of attenuated limbs and elongation of the form. Unlike Giacometti's sculptures, however, the figure is represented in traditional tribal wear, displays a protruding belly and a pensive stance. While much of Giacometti's work, predating his surrealist figures, exhibits an 'ethnographic' style, this piece could indicate continued African influence throughout his career. Regardless of whether it did in fact influence the master, it is a beautiful piece of art.
*This description refers only to the subject of the photograph–a sculpture. The actual sculpture is not included in this auction. If you are the winning bidder you will receive a photograph in the mail, shipped in a flat envelope.
