Download or read book Biodiversity Food and Nutrition written by Danny Hunter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the challenges and impacts of poor diets and nutrition from current food systems and the potential contribution of biodiversity and ecosystem services in addressing these problems. There is a strong need for a multi-level, cross-sectoral approach that connects food biodiversity conservation and sustainable use to address critical problems in our current food systems, including malnutrition. Building on research from the Biodiversity for Food and Nutrition Project (BFN), which aims to better link biodiversity, diets and nutrition, the book presents a multi-country, cross-sectoral analysis of initiatives that have promoted local food biodiversity in four countries: Brazil, Kenya, Turkey and Sri Lanka. This book offers a comprehensive summary of the BFN Project results in each of the four countries along with lessons learned and how this work could be upscaled or applied in other regions. It argues that the strategic promotion and use of food biodiversity is critical in uniting attempts to address conservation, nutrition and livelihood concerns. The book is structured around chapters and case studies encompassing the BFN Project with specific experiences related by partners who played key roles in the work being done in each country. By offering a comparative view capable of furthering dialogue between the respective countries, it is also meant to connect the individual cases for a “greater than the sum of its parts” effect. This means consideration of how localized activities can be adapted to more countries and regions. Therefore, the book addresses global issues with a foot planted firmly in the grounded case study locations. This book will be of great interest to policymakers, practitioners and NGOs working on food and nutrition, as well as students and scholars of agriculture, food systems and sustainable development.

Download or read book Food And Natural Resources written by David Pimentel and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food and Natural Resources provides an understanding of the interdependency of food and natural resources that affect society. It is hoped that through these discussions a more complete understanding of these timely issues will emerge. This base of knowledge will help individuals and government leaders develop and implement the types of programs that will result in the effective use and management of land, water, energy, and biological resources for improved food production and a higher standard of living for everyone. The book begins by examining the intrinsic dynamics of natural ecosystems—especially the land, water, atmosphere, energy, and biological components. This is followed by chapters on the availability and interrelationships between population size, arable land, water, energy, and other biological resources; the loss of wild species of plants and animals; the availability of agricultural land for crops and livestock; and the impact of land degradation on food and other resources. Subsequent chapters discuss water use in agriculture; the mechanization of agriculture and food production; the principles and practices that can make agriculture environmentally and economically sound and sustainable; and the impact of population growth on the environment and food supply.

Download or read book Food Systems and Natural Resources written by United Nations Publications and published by UN. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global food systems have radically changed over the last 50 years. Food production has more than doubled, diets have become more varied (and often more energy-intense) satisfying people’s preferences in terms of form, taste and quality, and numerous local, national and multi-national food-related enterprises have emerged providing livelihoods for millions. Nonetheless, over 800 million people are still hungry (70% of whom live in rural areas in developing countries), about two billion suffer from poor nutrition, and over two billion are overweight or obese. The resource use implications and environmental impacts of these food systems are significant. In general, of all economic activities, the food sector has by far the largest impact on natural resource use as well as on the environment. An estimated 60% of global terrestrial biodiversity loss is related to food production; food systems account for around 24% of the global greenhouse gas emissions and an estimated 33% of soils are moderately to highly degraded due to erosion, nutrient depletion, acidification, salinization, compaction and chemical pollution. The Food Systems working group of the International Resource Panel has prepared a comprehensive scientific assessment of the current status and dynamics of natural resource use in food systems and their environmental impacts. The IRP identifies opportunities for Resource Smart Food Systems responding to policy-relevant questions like what do sustainable food systems look like from a natural resource perspective? How can resource efficiency improvements be made to enhance food security? How to steer transition towards sustainable food systems? The report looks at food as a crucial connection point (a ‘node’) where various societal issues coincide, such as human dependence on natural resources, the environment, health and wellbeing. Rather than looking separately at resources such as land, water and minerals, the IRP has chosen a systems approach. The report looks at all the resources needed for the primary production of food, as well as for other food system activities (e.g. processing, distribution) considering not only the set of activities, but also the range of actors engaged in them and the outcomes in terms of food security, livelihoods and human health.

This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les systèmes alimentaires durables sont essentiels pour assurer la sécurité alimentaire et une alimentation saine pour les générations futures. Pour faire la transition vers la durabilité, de nombreuses activités du système alimentaire doivent se transformer, et une myriade d’acteurs à travers le monde doivent agir localement. Certains changements sont plus faciles à mettre en place que d’autres, mais savoir comment naviguer à travers ces changements pour promouvoir des modes de consommation et de production durables exige un ensemble de compétences complexes. Ce manuel, adressé aux «innovateurs de systèmes alimentaires durables», est rédigé par un groupe d’innovateurs d’Asie, d’Afrique, des Amériques et d’Europe qui mènent des initiatives pour cultiver, partager, vendre et consommer des aliments plus durables dans leur contexte local. Le manuel inclut des expériences de changement dans l’organisation des systèmes alimentaires locaux pour les rendre plus durables. Il est rédigé sous la forme d’un «livre dont vous êtes le héros» où chaque lecteur ou groupe de lecteurs peut identifier ses priorités et développer son parcours d’apprentissage et d’action. Les sujets abordés dans ce manuel sont répartis en trois groupes d’innovations organisationnelles: l’engagement des consommateurs, la production durable et la mise en marché des produits.

This book was released on 2012-03-21T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'agriculture biologique fait l'objet d'un véritablement engouement, tant de la part des consommateurs que des médias. Pourtant, ce mode de production agricole reste peu connu des citoyens et fait toujours l'objet de nombreuses approximations, tantôt positives, tantôt négatives. A partir d'une connaissance intime du sujet en étant lui même fils d'agriculteur et ancien conseiller agricole, Jacques Caplat explique dans cet ouvrage les fondements et pratiques concrètes de l'agriculture biologique. Sans angélisme ni illusion, l'auteur montre un champ des possibles de belle ampleur et un véritable espoir, tant en matière de protection de l'environnement que de production alimentaire mondiale, grâce à l'agriculture biologique.
