Download or read book Food Production and Consumption written by Alec Narraway Duckham and published by Elsevier Science & Technology. This book was released on 1976 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Specialists in numerous disciplines show how human food chains and nutrient cycles currently work and can be altered to meet the biological and economic food demands of increasing populations. The nutrient cycle is traced from initial photosynthesis to sewage disposal; political, social, economic, and environmental constraints are explored; and a systems approach is suggested in dealing with the complexity of the human food chain and nutrient cycle in order to satisfy current and future biological food needs. Intended for scientists and technologists who have interests in the fields of food and nutrition, this book should also be useful to the policy maker and the administrator.

Download or read book Fertilizers and Environment written by Claudio Rodriguez Barrueco and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food production remains the highest agricultural priority, subject to the constraint that it be done in harmony with nature, or at least with minimum environmental pollution. The amount of fertilizer applied can be controlled using modern application techniques, including soil and crop management, guaranteeing higher economic profit and lower environmental cost. It is in such a context that the present book addresses the efficient and rational use of mineral and organic fertilizers while preserving environmental quality. The book discusses the impact on surface and groundwaters, soils and crops, and experience of nitrate leaching, denitrification, ammonia volatilization, heavy metal pollution, agricultural and urban waste management, and international and national legislation. Audience: Agronomists, environmentalists, soil and food chemists, ecologists, policy makers, and managers in the fertilizer industry concerned with the trend of public opinion.

Download or read book Of Humans Natures and Human Nature in the Modern Food Chain written by Valérie Bourdeau and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American culinary landscape is scarred with deep rifts between consumers, producers, the food we eat and the soil it comes from. Those disruptions in natural flows are shaped and cultivated for profit by the capitalist interests that dominate our food chain. My aim in this thesis is to consolidate knowledge from different areas of research into a robust critique of modern food production. As a theoretical reference point, I propose a multidisciplinary critical naturalistic framework based on the work of Barkow, Bhaskar, Bookchin and Latour. Then, using reinterpretations of Marx's work on commodification, fetishism and the metabolic rift by geographers, evolutionary psychologists and other (r)evolutionary thinkers, I highlight some of the disruptions that define the current state of food in North America. First, I show how the web of relations that constitute agricultural ecology is parceled out to conform to the rationality of the modern capitalist mode of food production. Finally, I argue that those disruptions are reproduced in the North American popular food culture, as evidenced by the spectacular, 'pornographic' imagery that dominates contemporary food media.

Download or read book The Use of Drugs in Food Animals written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-01-12 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of drugs in food animal production has resulted in benefits throughout the food industry; however, their use has also raised public health safety concerns. The Use of Drugs in Food Animals provides an overview of why and how drugs are used in the major food-producing animal industriesâ€"poultry, dairy, beef, swine, and aquaculture. The volume discusses the prevalence of human pathogens in foods of animal origin. It also addresses the transfer of resistance in animal microbes to human pathogens and the resulting risk of human disease. The committee offers analysis and insight into these areas: Monitoring of drug residues. The book provides a brief overview of how the FDA and USDA monitor drug residues in foods of animal origin and describes quality assurance programs initiated by the poultry, dairy, beef, and swine industries. Antibiotic resistance. The committee reports what is known about this controversial problem and its potential effect on human health. The volume also looks at how drug use may be minimized with new approaches in genetics, nutrition, and animal management.
Download or read book Agri food Chain Relationships written by Christian Fischer and published by CABI. This book was released on 2010 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the background of global market liberalization, increasing consumer awareness and concerns and the spreading of complex technology, new ways to produce, distribute and consume food are evolving. The organization of agricultural production and distribution systems need to adapt, including the development and maintenance of sustainable business relationships between farmers, food processors and grocery retailers. While agricultural value chains have been promoted for decades, more attention is needed on how to enable economic agents to develop lasting relationships and trust within value chains. Using qualitative and quantitative empirical results, Agri-food Chain Relationships offers an insight into the sustainability of current agribusiness relationships and discusses how these may be improved. Theoretical foundations for analysing agri-food chain relations are considered alongside case studies of different countries, food chains and chain stages regarding the issues of sustainable relationships and trust.
