(1999) & Melse and De Hollander ( 2001) showed that total burden of disease, with estimated environment-related share expenditure, mid-1990 year. The average income group has 15 daily/1000 capita, the middle income group has 20 daily/1000 capita, the high income group has 10 daily/1000 capita. As regards both total burden of disease and the health conditions related to environmental; degradation. The result indicates the environment -related share of the burden of disease is greatly dependent on income, with higher-environmental shares generally occurring in lower-income countries. On the one hand, it seems the large environmental share of health problems is primarily, due to factors related to poverty, such as limited to access to proper food, housing, health care and drinking water. Environmental determinants of human health in developing or developed countries are related. On the other hand, those to the exposure to air pollutants ( particularly in urban areas and chemicals in the environment than to poor living conditions. Also sources of human exposure to chemicals are many and varied. Chemicals can reach the environments, for example, through emissions from industries, anti-fouling paints on marine vessels, pesticides in agriculture, waste incineration and leakage from waste disposal sites. When emissions of chemicals from industries and other point sources of pollution have lead to poor quality of life, source of chemical exposure. Intensive agricultural production uses chemicals in pesticides and fertilizer and in feed additives and medication for livestock. Residues remain in fruit, grains, vegetables, meats and daily products, all of which can reach the consumer. Other sources of chemicals in food include bio-accumulative chemicals in the environment, such as heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants, which can be found in fish, meat and dairy products. So, environment pollution can influence human need to eat bad or unhealthy food to cause we have poor quality of life to live, such as the high income group or middle income group or low income group of families in our societies fairly. Other human health risks that have recently received considerable attention include unsafe livestock feeding practices through which toxins reach the food chain unintentionally. Dioxins that have accidentally contaminated poultry feeds that contain diseased animal remains can cause the so-called " mad cow disease" in livestock which has been linked to a new form of disease. The effects on health from exposure to chemicals and air pollutants vary from allergies to cancer. Although, the link between exposure and disease is often not clear, Even at low exposure levels, urban are pollutants can cause, asthma, allergies, respiratory diseases and cardiovascular disease if the exposure is continuous or long term. Heavy metals have been shown to cause neurological disorders and various cancers. In addition to , physical diseases, environmental contamination can also cause psychological problems. Noise, one of the determinants of the quality of urban life can have an impact on human health, decreasing the quality of life and potentially contributing to depression.

Book excerpt: Pollution influence household individual useful more electricity habit and brings less cooking behaviors at homeFor electricity use market case example, how to analyze people's behavior in consuming electricity using a behavioral economic framework ? Electricity consumption is modeled by the means of consumer's individual useful habit, electricity price, consumer satisfaction level, willingness to invest in new technologies, social interactions, and marketing strategies by the power utility. Because electricity is necessary to every home or electric vehicle users needs or businessmen office etc. different needs every day.Power companies supply electricity to a region's homes and industries. However, electricity needs modernization of power system companies expect to increase price. Due to competitive factor, such as other fuel resource choices, outdated kind of energy electricity supply, and renewable fuel energy source competition.Hence, applying behavioral economic concept, I assume electricity consumers will compare to electricity and other kinds of energy choices to weigh up the costs and benefits of all alternatives, aiming to maximize their benefits, before making a decision to choose to use electricity for their house electricity demand or electric vehicle or shop or factory manufacturing etc. function of different aspects of electricity users.For example, electricity business clients, they aim to reduce cost, such as energy expenditure, when they use any energy to manufacture their products in factories. If they feel electricity is expensive price to compare other kinds of energy power supply. When, they feel that they can not earn much beneficial advantages to use electricity to produce their products. Otherwise, if they feel other any kinds of energy supply can replace electricity to give more benefits to compare electricity energy. Then, many business electricity users will change to use other kinds of energies to consume to replace electricity power.However, electricity can have competitive ability in electric vehicles market, if many drivers feel environment protection is more important to compare vehicles will be popular to be driven, due to many drivers don't want air pollution. They will like gas vehicles. Hence, the main attribute from the consumer side is one their habit electricity consumption behaviors, satisfaction level, energy efficient interaction with the power utility.Consequently how to predict electricity consumer's demand. The important factor is how to let electricity users to feel power companies are changing a reasonable level to compare other similar energy supply products. When electricity users feel electricity which can bring more benefits to compare other kinds of energy products. Then, in energy supply market, if the demanding number of electricity consumers can increase more than other kinds of energy demanding number. Then, it is right time to raise electricity price to charge electricity consumers. Hence, how to persuade electricity consumers to feel that they can have more benefits to compare other kinds of energy products. It is the main successful factor to electricity power supply companies.

Book excerpt: ⦁PESTEL/PESTLE Analysis to any domestic food market strategyAny countries must have themselves Whole Foods Market that operates in the grocery store industry and the health food store/food retail industry. As a grocery store, the company offers organic produce and related natural products. As a health food store, Whole Foods Market offers minimally processed foods that do not contain artificial ingredients, such as artificial flavors, colors and preservatives.Any countries' Whole Foods Market needs have good food quality. High standards are also applied for the personal care products available from WFM stores. For long-term success, Any countriess' Whole Foods Market must address the external factors in its remote environment, industry environment, and operating environment. For example, the county's food warehouse market must implement for the competitive forces PESTEL/PESTLE Analysis. These factors are beyond the direct control of the country's food warehouse distribution market, but have significant consequences on its business operations.⦁Whole Foods Market PESTEL Analysis (Remote Environment)Political Factors. Whole Foods Market must address the political factors of environmental and consumer safety policies in the remote business environment. Environmental policies favor Whole Foods Market because the company already has environmentally sound standards. These standards also agree with consumer safety policies. However, a possible consequence of changing consumer safety policies is increased pressure for the company to ensure the safety of products coming from its suppliers.Economic Factors. The economic factors in the remote environment of Whole Foods Market include changes in household incomes and changes in transportation costs. In general, household incomes are improving. However, the company faces challenges because of higher spending to transport its goods. A consequence of the higher household income is the higher demand for products from firms like Whole Foods Market. A consequence of higher transportation costs is the higher operating costs of the firm.Social Factors. Whole Foods Market must address the external social factors in its remote environment. Notable factors are the healthy lifestyle trend and the rural-to-urban population shift. A consequence of the healthy lifestyle trend is the increased demand for organic and natural products available from companies like Whole Foods Market. Similarly, a consequence of the rural-to-urban population shift is the increased demand for organic and natural products from the company. People in urban areas are less likely to plant and harvest their own organic and natural produce, compared to people in rural areas‧People are more health conscious in todays society, and many of them are choosing to purchase organic foods.‧There is a greater knowledge of links between health issues and food.‧Whole Foods has set up a system whereby managers at each store have the autonomy to determine what specific items to add to their shelves based on local demand. Technological Factors. In its remote environment, Whole Foods Market is under the influence of technological factors, including technological advancement in food production, and automation of inventory management. A consequence of the technological changes in food production is the higher efficiency and yield of organic and natural farming. This condition leads to improved reliability of the company's supply chain. In relation, a consequence of the automation of inventory management is an increase in the operational efficiency of Whole Foods Market.

Book excerpt: Living Economy influences our living experiences changeWhat does living economy mean ? How living economy influences consumer shopping behaviours and worker productive behaviours change. I shall explain as below: Firstly, we need to know what economy and science difference is. The reason for the gaps is that economics is very far from an exact science. The main actors are people or consumers, we need to work and spend. In my nowadays living, our consumption model has the impacts of the internet, and whether it bring more growth and better living standards for every. In past, we must need go to shops to buy any things. But, nowadays, we can apply internet to enter any business website to choose our preferable product to pay visa to buy among different kinds products' photos. So, e-commerce or e-shopping had change many consumers' traditional consumption model. It can bring exciting shopping experience and convenience to general consumers. Instead of internet influences consumer shopping method hand, internet also influence some offices apply internet to help employees to work at homes. So, Some office staffs do not need often go to offices to work, they can apply internet to do their office tasks at homes. It is one good example internet can bring living economic shopping convenience and working convenience to influence working people and consumers' living consumption and working traditional habit changing. But, internet also cause some people lose jobs, because some companies may dismiss some positions to be replaced by internet or artificial intelligent technology tools. In economic beneficial view, they aims to reduce salary expenditure and raises productivities and efficiencies. So, (AI) and internet technological invention can raise unemployment ratio in our societies, but it also raise efficiencies and productivities for businessmen in possible. These high technological invention can also bring economic growth because a desire for more profits would raise greater productivity, and therefore greater growth. This was achieved via the division of labour. For example, when one vehicle factory applies artificial intelligent robotic tools to assist workers to manufacture vehicles. The (AI) concentrates on manufacturing some vehicles engines as well as the workers need to divide the suitable engine parts to install to finish to manufacture any one vehicle in the factory. So, (AI) can assist workers to achieve division of labour aim. IN long term, if some countries' vehicle companies, even global vehicle companies can select to apply (AI) tools to assist workers to manufacture any one vehicle in the same time. It will raise whole vehicle industry vehicle productive efficiency and manufacture any one vehicle in the most short time. Indirectly, it will bring economic growth effect to these countries in possible, because vehicle suppliers can have enough different kinds of vehicles number to sell to different countries consumers in any time in global easily. Then, vehicle GDP income will increase and it can bring economic growth rapidly. But, (AI) robotic invention can also bring disadvantages to workers, because since the essence of capitalism is to make money, those workers will be increasingly exploited as time goes on. Faced with growing competition, employers may make staff work longer or harder as they may cut their wages and hire cheaper workers like women and children. Either way, profits will increase and so will worker dissatisfaction.High technological development, it can bring a new change or unemployment, because wages and unemployment will be influenced by new technological development when it is applied to any organizational team work aspect. Classical economists believed unemployment arose because real wages were too high. In other words, workers were asking for too much money, relative to the rate of inflation and output in the economy.

Book excerpt: Whether environmental factor is the main factor to influence our food demand and supply changesFor environmental quality concept, it concerns with health, safety, wellbeing, residential satisfaction and the physical sustainability can be considered to result from an when live ability can be considered to represent the interaction between the physical and the social domains. As with expenditure on the environment, investment in social capital contributes to quality of life. However, the benefits will again vary amongst individuals, depending largely on the security of their individual circumstance. As with the environment, the government can certainly adopt strategies that provide for public security by taking measures to reduce crime, a measure likely to be appreciated by everybody ( except criminal), at least to one degree or another. In other necessary to enhance social interaction, namely community centers or sports facilities. Furthermore, the creation of social capital has an statement which responds to general social trends to raise Ireland citizen's quality of life.I shall indicate Ireland to explain whether environmental factor is the main factor to influence our quality of life and economic growth. Is environmental quality higher in the Ireland west regions? And if so, does this compensate for lower incomes in these regions? Is it bad that rural areas are characterized by higher costs of living in areas other than housing by environmental factor?

This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we produce and consume food has a bigger impact on Americans' well-being than any other human activity. The food industry is the largest sector of our economy; food touches everything from our health to the environment, climate change, economic inequality, and the federal budget. From the earliest developments of agriculture, a major goal has been to attain sufficient foods that provide the energy and the nutrients needed for a healthy, active life. Over time, food production, processing, marketing, and consumption have evolved and become highly complex. The challenges of improving the food system in the 21st century will require systemic approaches that take full account of social, economic, ecological, and evolutionary factors. Policy or business interventions involving a segment of the food system often have consequences beyond the original issue the intervention was meant to address. A Framework for Assessing Effects of the Food System develops an analytical framework for assessing effects associated with the ways in which food is grown, processed, distributed, marketed, retailed, and consumed in the United States. The framework will allow users to recognize effects across the full food system, consider all domains and dimensions of effects, account for systems dynamics and complexities, and choose appropriate methods for analysis. This report provides example applications of the framework based on complex questions that are currently under debate: consumption of a healthy and safe diet, food security, animal welfare, and preserving the environment and its resources. A Framework for Assessing Effects of the Food System describes the U.S. food system and provides a brief history of its evolution into the current system. This report identifies some of the real and potential implications of the current system in terms of its health, environmental, and socioeconomic effects along with a sense for the complexities of the system, potential metrics, and some of the data needs that are required to assess the effects. The overview of the food system and the framework described in this report will be an essential resource for decision makers, researchers, and others to examine the possible impacts of alternative policies or agricultural or food processing practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirdly, the country food consumer individual dietary habitual factor, dietary habit will influence any one country's people's food choices. For example, Asian people like to eat rice, drink tea usually. Otherwise, Western people like to eat potato, drink soft drink more than tea and rice usually. So, potaot and soft drink demand must be more in Western countries as well as tea and rice demand must be more in Asia countries. Indeed, dietary habit is very difficult to change traditionally. It is eating culture to the country's people, including young and old people. So, it is difficult to change Korean, Japanese , Chinese's dietary behaviours to accept to drink soft drink , milk, eat potato daily in a consistent and sustained manner or it is also difficult to influence Western people to change eating habit to drink tea or eat rice daily.In fact, it is difficult to change any country's people's traditional dietary habits, e.g. adult's dietary habits change 21 years, dietary habits associated with age in later life, dietary habits associated with marital status and changes in it in later life. Because when the country's young or old people have accepted to choose the kind of food to eat or the kind of soaft drink to drink. For example, the US family only likes to choose Coke brand soft drink to drink often habitually. The US family feels that any one of other kinds of soft drinks, e.g. Peris brand, although Coke and Peris they has none orange taste to let the US family to feel to drink, but Coke brand soft drink taste had let the US family to feel good taste to compare the Peris brand similar taste drink. Then, the US family won't accept to drink the Peris brand soft drink , although it can bring similar taste to replace Coke brand soft drink. It is one good example of soft drink taste drinking habit to difficulty to influence this US family to choose Peris brand to replace Coke brand easily. So, food or drinking taste will be one absolute factor to influence food consumer individual choice to any country. Although, Western people like to drink soft drink,but it does not mean all different kinds of soft drinks must be accepted to drink to the Western countries any families. If the family often drinks the kind of brand soft drink . Then the family won't be persuaded to drink the other brands of soft drinks more easier because the family can not feel the other similar taste brands of soft drinks can not bring the same taste feeling. Hence, habitual drinking or eating taste is one important factor to influence any food or drinking consumer individual choice.On conclusion, dietary habit , taste, health, nutrition to the food and the country people overall avarage income level and unemployment ratio factors will influence global food consumers' food choices absolutely in nowadays societies.So, any food providers must need to concern whether the country's food consumers' dietary habit, dietary culture, overall population average income level in order to decide whether what kinds of foods or soft drinks are suitable to import to the country's food consumption market in the year.

Book excerpt: The United States is among the wealthiest nations in the world, but it is far from the healthiest. Although life expectancy and survival rates in the United States have improved dramatically over the past century, Americans live shorter lives and experience more injuries and illnesses than people in other high-income countries. The U.S. health disadvantage cannot be attributed solely to the adverse health status of racial or ethnic minorities or poor people: even highly advantaged Americans are in worse health than their counterparts in other, "peer" countries. In light of the new and growing evidence about the U.S. health disadvantage, the National Institutes of Health asked the National Research Council (NRC) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to convene a panel of experts to study the issue. The Panel on Understanding Cross-National Health Differences Among High-Income Countries examined whether the U.S. health disadvantage exists across the life span, considered potential explanations, and assessed the larger implications of the findings. U.S. Health in International Perspective presents detailed evidence on the issue, explores the possible explanations for the shorter and less healthy lives of Americans than those of people in comparable countries, and recommends actions by both government and nongovernment agencies and organizations to address the U.S. health disadvantage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ⦁Pollution causes death disease discourages consumer desiresHow to apply environment protection demand and environment pollution supply view to explain what effects are caused to how to develop our economy ? Why does pollution environment brings polluted food to cause death disease and discourages consumer desires ? Why the quality of human life can not be measured by GDP ( gross domestic product) statistic method only. There have been numerous attempts to construct alternative, non monetary indices of social and economic wellbeing by combining in a single statistic a variety of different factors that are thought to influence quality of human life. The main problem in all these measures is selection bias in the factors that are chosen to assess quality of life and, even more seriously in assigning weights to different indicators ( measured on a comparable and meaningful scale) to conclude a single synthetic measure. Substantive meaning and prices are the objective weights ( although there are also very big problems in estimating the purchasing-power parties that have to used instead of market exchange rates in order to express countries' incomes in the same currency). However, some researchers have showed that human rights to identify the factors that need to be included in a quality of life measure. But, even if accepted as a starting point, that still does not point to clear to indicators or how which are to be weighted. So, a technocratic and unsatisfying device that is sometimes used is to report to " expert opinion".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environment pollution influences economy developmentWhy does environment pollution will impact global economy growth? My earth is beginning to run out of natural resource: metals and energysources, as well as food. However, environment pollution is main factor influences our food will be shortage to supply, land is not clean, water is dirty, air pollution increases. But, whether these natural environment challenge has direct relationship to influence global economic growth rapidly or recession causes. I shall explain the reason as below: If we are not going to be warmed to oblivion as climate alarmists are trying to convince everybody, our traditional civilization will be weakened or even collapse at some point, due to the growing scarcity of basic material required to keep the world economy going. Various media present the public with alarming-looking diagrams that the number of years that separate us from the end of copper, lead, crude oil, natural gas etc. natural resource shortage crisis will cause because global warm natural environment damages our natural resource, even economy development. For example, when oil natural resourceis shortage, then oil price will rises because supply is less, but demand is increasing. Finally, the exceed climbing up oil price will bring other productys need to be decreased, e.g., cars need oil, but because oil price is increasing and it can not control to adjust its maximum price level. IN generally, many countries people feel oil price is unreasonable rasied, so the oil price is unreasonable going up factor, it must influence many potential car buyers' car driving need desire to be decreased. Then, car demand number will also decrease. So, environment pollution and global warm may cause natural shortage as well as any products or food prices increase to bring consumption desire decreases. Such as when rice is shortage, due to the number of farms is polluted to cause, there are not enough landto supply to grow rice decreases, then global rice price must goes up, when global population is increasing, but rice supply number is decreasing. Then, the poor people will not buy rice to eat easily because rice supply is limited to supply to satisfy global rice consumers' needs. So, environment pollution will causepoor people can not buy any food to eat easily in possible, due to inequalty food supply factor. Being mathematicians, rather than philosophers, the authors of the report in question built a model whose repeated runs projected the collapse around the year 2000 due to lack of food, fuels and industrial minerals. Other authors as that time dealt with rubber and different products seen as imnportant to be influence supplyshortage because environment pollution crisis causes the natural climate damages. IN fact, the same Bureau of Mines had warmed still earlier in 1896, that for a charge, the US reserves of oil would last only for four years. IN the case, the lonf periods ofperceived bountiful availability of mineral resources alternate with shorter periods of opposite perceptions. The natural of these lonf on average 30 to 40 years cycles have reasonably well - founded explanations. Mineral resources cycles may be reasonably well explained within the framework of economics, it means that why and how environment pollution and economy growth or recession have close effect and cause relationship. An no less importantly, historical evidence from the last nineteenth century is withthe proposed analytical framework.The reasons may include as below: The first reason may be explained is how the dynamics of demand and supply generate alternating periods of excess demand and excess supply that color people's thinkingabout the availability of mineral resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ⦁Why environment and human's qualify of life and economic growth has close relationship.I shall explain how this study confirms the invested correlation between economic growth and environmental degradation of hypothesis that is at the early stage economic growth which increases environmental degradation, then environmental degradation decreases after reaching a certain level of average income per capita. Moreover, I shall explain how other factors, such as trade openness, industrial extension also cause an increase in environmental degradation. This study also has been investigated the between environmental pollution and per capita income when have close relationship to influence economic falling down in long term.The key indicators are used to capture the changes in environmental conditions have been developed and used in many countries. A high rate of economic growth has been a primary and permanent goal of government and society, particularly in developing countries. The increase in economic growth is related to an increase in the production and consumption of products and services. Consequently, it may lead to an increase in the multiplied products of the people and income per capita consumption. However, economic growth may produce negative impacts on the environment pollution, overexploitation of natural resources, degradation and loss of wildlife habitat and climate change. Hence, many countries have been facing the decline in environmental quality issue when which neglect to reduce environmental pollution challenge in long term. I believe that the impact of economic growth on environment quality is categorized through three different channels: The first is the scale effect, the second is the composition and the end is the technique effect. The scale effect means to happen as pollution increases with the size of the economy, the explanation being that even of the structure of the economy and the technology doesn't change, it is assumed that an increase in the scale of economic activity leads to an increase in pollution and environmental degradation, when the composition effect refers to the change in production structure of an economy from agriculture-based to industry and service. The last effect is the technique effect, which captures improvement in the technique of production and adaption of cleaner technologies and hence a reduction in pollution⦁Explaining why the Environmental Kuznets Curve key indicator method is measured to any country's economic growth and environmental pollution relationship commonly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a broad conspectus on the application of EU and international regulation of the food sector on English law. It is aimed at practitioners and students of this vital and emerging branch of law, which has become an important part of current political and legal debate. It is written not just for lawyers as a statement of current law, but is also aimed at all those involved or interested in the food industry who wish to familiarise themselves with how the law is applied practically in this jurisdiction. The book commences with a short conceptual framework for the study of food law. It then provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of current English law, explaining fully the detailed processes by which both international and national law and EU decision making have impacted upon most aspects of the production, sale and consumption of food in England. The book explains and assesses the operation of the current law by describing in detail the roles of Government, the Food Standards Agency and local enforcement authorities in the making and enforcing of laws concerning food. The work contains full outlines of the developments in the most significant areas of food law. It concentrates specifically on topics such as food labelling and advertising, quality and compositional requirements, geographical food names, genetic modification, organic production, animal welfare and also the role of law in tackling poor health, obesity, and diet-related disease. The book, though primarily designed as a law text, goes beyond the usual confines of such works. It sets out to explain and describe the impact of successive food crises, such as BSE and the use of horsemeat in beef products, on food safety and transparency requirements. The book considers and assesses how the existing rules on the chemical and biological safety of food impact on our law, and concludes with a review of the developing legal issues concerning the environmental impacts of current and proposed food law, in particular the relationship between food law, climate change and food security.
