Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's Food Resources For two years the people of Europe and America have been reading about diet, studying nutrition, practising cookery, talking about food, and wondering about the food supply as never before. Has food shortage come to stay, or is there a bounteous future ahead of us? The answer to that question depends on how man behaves. The injunction of Jehovah to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden still holds good. The earth is still a potential Eden with room (food possibilities) for many, many more of the children of men. We have subdued the earth far more extensively than Adam dreamed of doing. It is more completely ours than Eden was Adam's. Now as then, man's greatest enemy is himself. Food we can have in great abundance if we devote our time to the continued conquest of the earth, and to the utilization of nature, rather than to the conquest of each other. But there can be only death and starvation for millions of men if we continue to indulge in war. Nations arc no longer independent. We have become dependent on a great fabric of trade; when it is destroyed, we die. It is the object of this book to present some of the facts concerning the world's food supply and the possibilities of food supply, and to discuss the outlook for the future. The war has made us think about food - a little. Did you ever figure out just what you would do if your food supply failed? You probably have not, but a good observer who has seen men in all stages of starvation in the Yukon wilderness has it worked out in this way: "If a man misses his meals one day, he will lie. If he misses his meals two days, he will steal. If he misses his meals three days, he will kill." This may sound far-fetched, but in reality it is just an everyday fact that has not hitherto come up for our consideration.

Download or read book Sustainable Protein Sources written by Sudarshan Nadathur and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2016-10-02 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protein plays a critical role in human nutrition. Although animal-derived proteins constitute the majority of the protein we consume, plant-derived proteins can satisfy the same requirement with less environmental impact. Sustainable Protein Sources allows readers to understand how alternative proteins such as plant, fungal, algal, and insect protein can take the place of more costly and less efficient animal-based sources. Sustainable Protein Sources presents the various benefits of plant and alternative protein consumption, including those that benefit the environment, population, and consumer trends. The book presents chapter-by-chapter coverage of protein from various sources, including cereals and legumes, oilseeds, pseudocereals, fungi, algae, and insects. It assesses the nutrition, uses, functions, benefits, and challenges of each of these proteins. The book also explores opportunities to improve utilization and addresses everything from ways in which to increase consumer acceptability, to methods of improving the taste of products containing these proteins, to the ways in which policies can affect the use of plant-derived proteins. In addition, the book delves into food security and political issues which affect the type of crops that are cultivated and the sources of food proteins. The book concludes with required consumer choices such as dietary changes and future research ideas that necessitate vigorous debate for a sustainable planet. Introduces the need to shift current animal-derived protein sources to those that are more plant-based Presents a valuable compendium on plant and alternate protein sources covering land, water, and energy uses for each type of protein source Discusses nutritive values of each protein source and compares each alternate protein to more complete proteins Provides an overview of production, including processing, protein isolation, use cases, and functionality Presents solutions to challenges, along with taste modulation Focuses on non-animal derived proteins Identifies paths and choices that require consumer and policymaker debate and action

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Food Resources of Africa Africa, an important contributor to the world's agricultural sup ply, has now more than ever a vital share in the food economy of the world. The Japanese conquest of the Far East has deprived the United Nations of important food resources, and it is necessary to look for new fields to increase the production in those territories at the command of the United Nations. Africa's proximity to the major battle fronts makes it an area particularly strategic in location from which to supplement the depleted food supply, and the African natives contribute to this task in no small measure. Thus, the meager fat rations of Great Britain have come to depend largely on the amount of groundnuts, palm oil, and palm kernels which West Africa can furnish, and the Middle Eastern armies are supplied with food from East African territories. The fact that, despite Africa's importance, only scant information about its food production is available makes the situation potentially dangerous. Not only might valuable food sources be ignored, but conversely Africa's productivity might be overestimated and lead to disastrous local famines if drained too much, as, indeed, occurred in some East African territories early this year. For the United States, which contributes such a large share of food to both Allied and conquered nations, it is of special interest to learn and know about those food resources which now or in the near future may be available in other parts of the world. These considerations prompted the decision of the Committee on African Studies at the University of Pennsylvania to undertake a program of Food Research. The present studies by Dr. Githens and Mr. Wood intend to give a general survey of Africa's agricultural resources, while in later volumes of the African Handbooks more detailed studies, both regarding specific areas and individual cr0ps.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How the World Is Fed This book on Foods is the first of a series upon the great industries of the world. Its purpose is to give the children a knowledge of the production and preparation of foods, and to show how civilization and commerce grew from man's need of foods and the exchange of foods between the different nations of the earth. The author takes the children on personally conducted tours to the great food centers of the world, to the markets of exchange, to the factories, the farms, the forests, and the seas. Together they visit the great wheat fields of our own and other lands. They follow the grain to the mills and from the mills to the markets. They go through the corn belt of the United States and learn the size and value of our corn crop. They visit the rice countries of the world and learn how this grain, which forms the bread of a large part of the human race, is grown and prepared for the market. They go to a western cattle ranch and aid the cowboys in a "round up." They follow the cattle to a great packing center, where they inspect the stock yards and observe the killing and shipping. They also learn how pork is packed for shipment to all parts of the world. They live for a time with the shepherds in Australia and New Zealand, and visit the factories to observe the handling and freezing of mutton. Visits are paid to dairy countries, and the manufacture of butter and cheese is explained. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Food Products of the World There is no more important factor in the successful conduct of the household than a knowledge of the composition of foods and their dietetic value, and no greater aid to the housewife in this direction has ever before been published. The working housekeeper is unconsciously a practical chemist, for unless she has some knowledge of the substances which she combines in various dishes she may produce some poor results from excellent materials. There is quite a goodly aggregate of information floating through the culinary air; this cook knows a little, that one, a bit more; and the better a cook is the less she is likely to know about the chemistry of foods. She may know that a little sugar or vinegar added to a soup or sauce that is too salt will modify the taste, but she probably does not know the reason why. She never has time to learn why things result as they do, but must learn from her more intelligent compeers or from her mistress just such facts as are stated in this book concerning the properties of foods and their nutritive value. In this respect this book may become a mine of knowledge to the cook and an incentive to better work. To the average half-trained cooking teacher it will indeed be useful, supplying her with the practical knowledge not found in other text books, for I do not know of one which covers the ground so thoroughly as this. Written by a woman who possesses a medical and chemical knowledge of foods, their properties and their relation to health, and who is also a skilled housewife, the value of the book is self evident. Dr. Green has a professional record that many men might envy. She has conducted a successful practice ever since her graduation from the Woman's Medical College in Philadelphia in 1868, has long been a member of the American Medical Association, and was unanimously chosen to serve upon the Jury of Awards on Pood Products at the World's Columbian Exposition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Animal Food Resources of Different Nations: With Mention of Some of the Special Dainties of Various People Derived From the Animal Kingdom A quarter of a century ago I published a work on The Curiosities of Animal Food, based chiefly on a Lecture I had delivered at a Literary Institution. Although the volume merely dealt cursorily with the Wide subject in a popular point of view, it was favour ably received and much quoted by various eminent scientific authors, writing on the Food question. That book has, like many of my other works, long been out of print. The subject, however, of the Animal Food supply has since then risen into great importance. Having given much attention to this matter, I have endeavoured to condense into the present volume a large amount of practical and useful information not generally accessible, combined at the same time with some pleasant reading.
