The Real Cost of Cheap Food - Bok av Michael Carolan - Häftad

This thought-provoking, accessible book critically examines the dominant food regime on its own terms, by seriously asking whether we can afford cheap food and by exploring what exactly cheap food affords us.The author shows why today's global food system produces just the opposite of what it promises.

Examples of this evolution include recognizing the importance of food on health by public health and medical professionals; changing consumer desires around the production methods and components of their food; a greater focus on injustices within the national food system; evolving knowledge of how the food system impacts the environment; and, shifting economic and technological realities that underpin where and how food is produced,..

Planning Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems - From Soil to Soil - Bok av Julia Freedgood - Inbunden

Planning Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems - From Soil to Soil - Bok av Julia Freedgood - Inbunden

Covid-19 was a canary in a mine. It exposed the vulnerabilities of 21st Century food systems but did not create them. Since then, the world has faced a \polycrisis: \ a cluster of weather-related crop failures, war-induced food and energy shortages, and import dilemmas with compounding effects. Going forward, we need to plan for more sustainable and resilient food systems which improve environmental outcomes and address economic disparities. But food systems planning is a relatively new discipline..

Food Security in Asia - Challenges, Policies and Implications - Bok av Monika Barthwal-Datta - Inbunden

The spike in global food prices in 2007�08 not only led to riots on several continents; it also reawakened fears about the world�s future ability to feed itself, as growing populations place greater demands on agricultural systems operating in increasingly difficult environmental and climatic conditions. With more than half the world�s people and high levels of inequality, Asia lies at the centre of the global food-security challenge of the twenty-first century. The region �..

Urban Food Mapping - Making Visible the Edible City - Bok av Katrin Bohn - Inbunden

Urban Food Mapping - Making Visible the Edible City - Bok av Katrin Bohn - Inbunden

With cities becoming so vast, so entangled and perhaps so critically unsustainable, there is an urgent need for clarity around the subject of how we feed ourselves as an urban species. Urban food mapping becomes the tool to investigate the spatial relationships, gaps, scales and systems that underlie and generate what, where and how we eat, highlighting current and potential ways to (re)connect with our diet, ourselves and our environments.Richly explored, using over 200 mapping images in 25 selected..

Food, States, and Peasants - Analyses of the Agrarian Question in the Middle East - Bok av Alan Richards - Häftad

One of the most serious problems facing the Middle East and North Africa - is the region's growing inability to feed its expanding population. Rapidly escalating demand has made the region highly dependent on food imports, and policy initiatives intended to increase domestic production have met with mixed success at best. The contributors to this volume examine the historical origins of state policies toward agriculture, recent policy changes and their effects on domestic supply, and the social and..

Full House - Reassessing the Earth's Population Carrying Capacity - Bok av Lester R Brown - Inbunden

Full House - Reassessing the Earth's Population Carrying Capacity - Bok av Lester R Brown - Inbunden

Originally published in 1995, after decades of steady growth, this book was written at a time when the world's food supply was no longer keeping up with population increases. This book examines the causes of the imbalance in the food/population equation and suggests ways in which Malthusian checks can be countered. It calls for an international strategy to restore global security, and a budget to implement it, with a massive redirection of the world's financial resources. On one side of the argument..

Who Will Feed China? - Wake-Up Call for a Small Planet - Bok av Lester Brown - Inbunden

Who Will Feed China? - Wake-Up Call for a Small Planet - Bok av Lester Brown - Inbunden

Originally published in 1995, but with enduring relevance in a time of global population growth and food insecurity, when it was first published, this book attracted much global attention, and criticism from Beijing. It argued that even as water becomes scarcer in a land where 80% of the grain crop is irrigated, as per-acre yield gains are erased by the loss of agricultural land to industrialization, and as food production stagnates, China still increases its population by the equivalent of a new..

Farming and Food Supplies - The Case for Expansion of British Agriculture - Bok av Margaret Bramley - Inbunden

Farming and Food Supplies - The Case for Expansion of British Agriculture - Bok av Margaret Bramley - Inbunden

In the 1960s, the farming industry of Britain had been transformed and modernised to the point where output per person was the highest in Europe. Many farmers reasoned from this that there should be expansion of agriculture rather than restriction, and that the natural resources of Britain should be developed to the full. Originally published in 1965, this book examines the case for further expansion against the background of mass hunger and rising population in many parts of the world. The case..

Embodying Transnational Yoga - Eating, Singing, and Breathing in Transformation - Bok av Christopher Jain Miller - Inbunden

Studying these categories of embodied practice using interdisciplinary methods reveals transformative \engaged alchemies\ that have been extensively deployed by contemporary..
