Food Security
Discussions of food security usually focus on the question “Can we feed the world?” Providing enough food is a major challenge. To do so without unacceptable environmental impacts, so that food sufficiency is not compromised over time, is a deeper challenge that systemically links to other issues of sustainability, notably including climate change. This book discusses several challenges involved in providing food security. It also examines the role of biotechnologies and the implications for developing countries. (Imprint: Nova)
Sustainability Challenges in the Agrofood Sector
Sustainability Challenges in the Agrofood Sector covers a wide range of agrofood-related concerns, including urban and rural agriculture and livelihoods, water-energy management, food and environmental policies, diet and human health. Significant and relevant research topics highlighting the most recent updates will be covered, with contributions from leading experts currently based in academia, government bodies and NGOs (see list of contributors below). Chapters will address the realities of sustainable agrofood, the issues and challenges at stake, and will propose and discuss novel approaches to these issues. This book will be the most up-to-date and complete work yet published on the topic, with new and hot topics covered as well as the core aspects and challenges of agrofood sustainability.
Social Safety and Security
As most experienced readers appreciate the international scientific review of Safety for its unique perspective on vulnerable individuals and risk-related behaviours in various manifestations of our daily life, we have organized the publication of a Special Issue that focuses on a number of contemporary issues in social safety and security. This publication provides the latest research in important thematic areas, highlighting intimate partner violence against women, alcohol use, inmate sexual victimization of males during incarceration, and the utility of modern models to predict the history of arrest among intimate partner violent men.
