Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Major issues and major goals of a national food policy are outlined and described. Sixteen critical food and agricultural issues are tied into four food system goals: 1) assuring safe, nutritious food for all segments of the population; 2) assuring that the economic strength of the food system is maintained; 3) fulfilling the Nation's commitment to help meet world food demand through humanitarian measures and commercial export; and 4) developing and coordinating national and international food policies. The issues and goals are used by the U.S. General Accounting Office to organize its own activities. Appended are lists of Congressional committees, federal agencies, federal commissions, federal offices, federal departments, and organizations related to food.

Download or read book Integrating Food into Urban Planning written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integration of food into urban planning is a crucial and emerging topic. Urban planners, alongside the local and regional authorities that have traditionally been less engaged in food-related issues, are now asked to take a central and active part in understanding the way food is produced, processed, packaged, transported, marketed, consumed, disposed of and recycled in our cities. Despite a growing body of literature on food and cities, the issue of planning cities in such a way they will increase food security and nutrition, not only for the affluent segments of society but primarily for the poor, is much less discussed, and much less informed by practices. This volume intends to fill this gap by putting more than 20 city-based experiences in perspective: Toronto, New York City, Providence and Portland in North America; Cape Town and Ghana in Africa; Milan in Europe; Lima and Belo Horizonte in South America; and, in Asia, Bangkok, Solo and Yogyakarta in Indonesia, and Tokyo. By drawing on cities of different sizes, from regions across the global north and south, in both developed and developing areas, the contributors collectively attest to the importance of global knowledge rooted in local food planning practices, programmes and policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The 1977 Food and Agriculture Act designated the Department of Agriculture as the lead agency for the conduct of human nutrition research. It specifies five priority areas for basic and applied research and nutrition education research : (1) human nutrition requirements; (2) composition of foods and the effects of agricultural practices, handling, processing and cooking on nutrients; (3) surveillance of nutritional benefits to participate in USDA programs; (4) factors affecting consumer food preferences and eating habits and (5) development of techniques and equipment to assist consumers in selecting food to provide a nutritionally balanced diet. The comprehensive plan for delivery of human nutrition research and services is a plan with a basic statement of purpose and priorities which describes current programs for meeting the priorities and concludes with a discussion of future goals and implementation plans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integration of food into urban planning is a crucial and emerging topic. Urban planners, alongside the local and regional authorities that have traditionally been less engaged in food-related issues, are now asked to take a central and active part in understanding how food is produced, processed, packaged, transported, marketed, consumed, disposed of and recycled in our cities. While there is a growing body of literature on the topic, the issue of planning cities in such a way they will increase food security and nutrition, not only for the affluent sections of society but primarily for the poor, is much less discussed, and much less informed by practices. This volume, a collaboration between the Bartlett Development Planning Unit at UCL and the Food Agricultural Organisation, aims to fill this gap by putting more than 20 city-based experiences in perspective, including studies from Toronto, New York City, Portland and Providence in North America; Milan in Europe and Cape Town in Africa; Belo Horizonte and Lima in South America; and, in Asia, Bangkok and Tokyo. By studying and comparing cities of different sizes, from both the Global North and South, in developed and developing regions, the contributors collectively argue for the importance and circulation of global knowledge rooted in local food planning practices, programmes and policies.

This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting.
