Peri-urban Conflicts and Environmental Challenges A Mediterranean Perspective

Peri-urban Conflicts and Environmental Challenges A Mediterranean Perspective

Urban expansion and the preservation of fringe landscapes are clearly interconnected issues. This book discusses the relationship between landscape and peri-urban agriculture and the possible implications of sustainable land management for fringe land quality proposing a framework to evaluate the latent nexus between agro-forest systems and human settlements in Southern Europe. Eco-sustainable planning integrated with multi-faceted policy actions (social economic cultural and political dimensions) is a relevant approach to reinforce sustainability of fringe landscapes. Permanent assessment of these factors allows for the implementation of different development scenarios. The present work definitely contributes to systemic and multi-scale approaches informing environmental policies with the aim of achieving an integrated management of peri-urban agricultural landscapes. | Peri-urban Conflicts and Environmental Challenges A Mediterranean Perspective

Biosecurity in the Making The Threats the Aspects and the Challenge of Readiness

Biosecurity in the Making The Threats the Aspects and the Challenge of Readiness

The explosive growth of bioeconomy and bioscience coupled with an interconnected planet increases the potential impact of large-scale bio-events. Either causing public health threats as in epidemics or posing food security issues from mass poisonings to large-scale starvation such eventualities are direct threats and indirect destabilizers in a planetary context. The issue of Biosecurity thus pervades every affected aspect from exploitations of the agro-sector and the food industry to the Public Health management the novel therapeutic/treatment approaches the new age of space deep-sea and subterranean explorations and the interface with the cyber world and the massive or small-scale projection of violence. It has been present since ancient times tacitly and discreetly but only recently took its present guise the different aspects of which are explored in this book. | Biosecurity in the Making The Threats the Aspects and the Challenge of Readiness

Advancing Agroecology in International Law

Advancing Agroecology in International Law

Producing enough food is a basic human priority and a critical challenge in the face of a growing population and the deteriorating ecological health of the planet. Modern agricultural practices promise to maximise the productive efficiency of available land but are one of the main drivers of agro- and biodiversity loss. Agroecology which places ecological sustainability and diversity at the heart of agriculture is one response to these challenges. It presents agriculture not only as the process through which food is produced but as a dynamic socioecological phenomenon that exists through networks comprising natural and human stakeholders at global national and subnational levels. Drawing on a combination of agroecological and legal literature this book explores where there is space in international law to pursue agroecology. Using a range of case studies it demonstrates how concepts mechanisms and regulatory approaches in the law advance and can be reformed to further advance an agroecological legal framework that allows humanity to meet its agricultural needs in a way that protects the natural and cultural diversity that is fundamental to the ecological integrity of the planet. | Advancing Agroecology in International Law

Integrated Water Resources Management Institutions and Livelihoods under Stress Bottom-up Perspectives from Zimbabwe; UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis

Integrated Water Resources Management Institutions and Livelihoods under Stress Bottom-up Perspectives from Zimbabwe; UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis

The majority of people in Limpopo river basin depend on rainfed agriculture. Unfortunately the Limpopo is water scarce and parts of the basin such as Zimbabwe's Mzingwane catchment are under stress in terms of agro-ecological and socio-politicoeconomic conditions. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) has been adopted in the river basin in an attempt to improve water resources management. However it is not known whether or how IWRM has improved practices in water resources management and contributed towards improved livelihoods. This study used a bottom-up approach to analyse water management practices and livelihoods in the river basin. The objective of the study was to understand practices in water resources management at the local level and what drives those practices. Specifically the study analysed: practices in access to water for domestic and productive uses efforts at sustaining livelihoods and the environment water management for agriculture contestations over urban water services and river basin planning. The study showed the importance of context as a driver of practices in water resources management. The demonstrated influence of local level drivers on water resources management and livelihoods suggest that the challenges in water resources management cannot be solved outside of the wider socio-politico-economic realm. | Integrated Water Resources Management Institutions and Livelihoods under Stress Bottom-up Perspectives from Zimbabwe; UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis

Edible Food Packaging with Natural Hydrocolloids and Active Agents

Edible Food Packaging with Natural Hydrocolloids and Active Agents

The aim of this book is to show the potential of natural hydrocolloids and active agents to develop sustainable edible packaging materials for food preservation. For this the current and future sources of natural hydrocolloids have been reviewed along with their extraction methods impact on health and ability to form different packaging such as film casing coating mat pad etc. Similarly natural active compounds were evaluated carefully considering their sources extraction methods regulatory status and compatibility with edible packaging. The book emphasizes the recent developments in methods strategies and technologies employed to enhance the performance of antimicrobial antioxidant and bioactive packaging. The basic testing methods used to evaluate antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of edible packaging in model media and food were discussed and carefully selected example active edible packaging applications for different food categories were provided with critical details such as the thin balance between effectiveness of packaging and sensory properties of food. As such it helps in understanding necessary parameters in designing an effective active edible packaging that is applicable to the target food category. Moreover readers are primed for the first time on how to develop a fully natural antimicrobial antioxidant or bioactive edible food packaging. This book is different from most of the similar books' avail as it provides neither methodologies about classical active packaging based on chemicals and fossil polymeric films nor is it a thorough collection of different food packaging applications. It is also not a book that concentrates on physicochemical characterization methods and engineering aspects of packaging. Instead this is a book that provides systematic knowledge about key methods of evaluating natural resources agro-industrial wastes and by-products for development of edible packaging and concentrates on concepts strategies technologies and applications of active edible packaging based solely on natural components. It is designed to share both positive and negative experiences in an emerging field that is expected to play a central role in improving food safety and quality human health and environmentally friendly practices. | Edible Food Packaging with Natural Hydrocolloids and Active Agents
