Book Synopsis Food Culture in South America by : José Rafael Lovera
Download or read book Food Culture in South America written by José Rafael Lovera and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-05-30 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume tells the story of the South Americans and their history through a survey of their food culture. Food in the various countries differs in some ways because of cultural heritage, cooking techniques, and geography, here divided into four zones. The traditions of the primary groups—Indians, Europeans, and Africans—and their five centuries of mixing have still resulted in a stable food culture. The foods of the Indians before European contact still play an important role, along with other foods brought by successive immigrant groups. Europeans tried to establish their staples, wheat and wine, with little success. Many dishes, cooking methods, and food habits have survived with little modification since time immemorial. Students and other readers will learn much about the South American foodways in daily life today, with special attention paid to historical perspective and any rural and urban differences. For example, in all the major cultural groups, food preparation and cooking have always been women's work, with the exception of the meat roast (asado) by llaneros and gauchos. The rise of the cooking profession is discussed as well. A fascinating look at the daily meal schedule includes insight in to how the European conquerors imposed their eating habits and encouraged overeating, with the abundance found in the New World. Modern life is shown to affect where people eat, as buying meals, often from street vendors, during the workday has become more of a necessity. The survey includes a discussion of special occasions, including agricultural celebrations and Catholic feasts with indigenous elements. The overview is completed by a chapter on diet and health, covering such topics as botanical knowledge and science and an assessment of the nutritional value of the South American staples. Classic recipes from many of the countries and illustrations complement the narrative.

Book Synopsis Atlas de l'alimentation dans le monde by : Erik Millstone
Download or read book Atlas de l'alimentation dans le monde written by Erik Millstone and published by Editions Autrement. This book was released on 2003 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deux milliards de personnes souffrent de sous-alimentation chronique et dix-huit millions meurent chaque année de pathologies liées à la faim alors que l'on produit 356 kilogrammes de céréales par personne et par an, quantité amplement suffisante. Nourrir les six milliards d'habitants de la planète reste toujours aujourd'hui une question prioritaire. Les habitants des pays riches exigent abondance, choix et qualité, quand d'autres - en Afrique notamment - meurent de faim. Comment expliquer cette situation ? A l'heure où la production totale de céréales couvre largement tous les besoins de la planète, comment justifier l'existence persistante de carences alimentaires ? Rééquilibrer cette production en déplaçant son centre de gravité des pays actuellement surproducteurs vers ceux où les hommes sont sous-alimentés est l'un des enjeux du XXIe siècle. Mais un autre défi est à relever : les nouvelles technologies, qui promettent d'accroître la production alimentaire, doivent désormais prouver qu'elles ne nuisent pas à la santé du consommateur. L'Atlas de l'alimentation dans le monde dresse un tableau de la chaîne alimentaire de l'agriculture à la consommation et montre de quelle façon cette chaîne est affectée par les décisions de l'OMC, les politiques agricoles nationales, les désastres écologiques et les changements de modes de vie. Il aborde les grandes questions alimentaires de demain : quelle agriculture mondiale pour le XXIe siècle, quel avenir pour les OGM, une production agricole quantitative ou qualitative ? Qu'en est-il de la sous-nutrition et de la malnutrition dans les pays les plus pauvres ? Surnutrition, obésité, maladie de la vache folle, intoxications alimentaires sont-ils les nouveaux maux des pays développés liés à la surproduction, à la mal-bouffe ? A travers un état des lieux inédit de la chaîne agroalimentaire dans le monde l'Atlas de l'alimentation dans le monde, illustré de photographies, de cartes et de schémas constitue un bilan chiffré, visuel, accessible à tous sur le devenir de notre alimentation.
Book Synopsis Development and Territorial Restructuring in an Era of Global Change by : Elisabeth Peyroux
Download or read book Development and Territorial Restructuring in an Era of Global Change written by Elisabeth Peyroux and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking about development and the environment simultaneously is one of the biggest scientific and societal challenges of the 21st century. Understanding the interactions between biophysical systems and human activities in an era of global change requires overcoming disciplinary divides and opening up new epistemological perspectives. This book explores these challenges using a territorial lens. Combining various scales of analyses (from global to local) and contexts (both urban and rural) in the North and in the South, it analyzes the relationships between environment and development through a variety of geographical objects (i.e. cities, rural and agricultural areas, coastlines, watershed), themes (i.e. ecological transitions, food, energy, transport, agriculture, mining activities) and methodologies (i.e. qualitative and quantitative approaches, modeling, in situ measurements). By engaging in a dialogue between social science and natural science disciplines, within different fields and with a variety of forms of knowledge production, this book provides essential information for understanding and reading the complexity of a globalized world. This book is targeted at academics and students in social sciences and at stakeholders in the field of territorial and environmental management.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook of Sustainable Food and Gastronomy by : Philip Sloan
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Sustainable Food and Gastronomy written by Philip Sloan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issues surrounding the provision, preparation and development of food products is fundamental to every human being on the planet. Given the scarcity of agricultural land, environmental pollution, climate change and the exponential growth of the world’s population where starvation and obesity are both widespread it is little wonder that exploring the frontiers of food is now a major focus for researchers and practitioners. This timely Handbook provides a systematic guide to the current state of knowledge on sustainable food. It begins by analyzing the historical development surrounding food production and consumption, then moves on to discuss the current food crisis and challenges as well as the impacts linked to modern agriculture and food security. Finally, it concludes with a section that examines emerging sustainable food trends and movements in addition to an analysis of current food science innovations. Developed from specifically commissioned original contributions the Handbook’s inherent multidisciplinary approach paves the way for deeper understanding of all aspects linked to the evolution of food in society, including insights into local food, food and tourism, organic food, indigenous and traditional food, sustainable restaurant practices, consumption patterns and sourcing. This book is essential reading for students, researches and academics interested in the possibilities of sustainable forms of gastronomy and gastronomy’s contribution to sustainable development. The title includes a foreword written by Roberto Flore, Head Chef at the Nordic Food Lab, Copenhagen, Denmark.

This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting.

Book Synopsis From Urban National Parks to Natured Cities in the Global South by : Frédéric Landy
Download or read book From Urban National Parks to Natured Cities in the Global South written by Frédéric Landy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important volume focuses on the sensitive issue of interrelationships between national parks situated near or within urban areas and their urban environment. It engages with both urban and conservation issues and and compares four national parks located in four large cities in the global South: Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town, Mumbai, and Nairobi. Though primarily undertaken as academic research, the project has intensively collaborated with the institutions in charge of these parks. The comparative structure of this volume is also original and unique: each of the chapters incorporates insight from all four sites as far as possible.The term “naturbanity” expresses the necessity for cities endowed with a national park to integrate it into their functioning. Conversely, such parks must take into account their location in an urban environment, both as a source of heavy pressures on nature and as a nexus of incentives to support their conservation. The principle of non-exclusivity, that is, neither the city nor the park has a right nor even the possibility to negate the other’s presence, summarizes the main argument of this book. Naturbanity thus blurs the old “modern” dichotomy of nature/culture: animals and human beings can often jump the physical and ideological walls separating many parks from the adjacent city. The 13 chapters and substantive introduction of this volume discuss various aspects of naturbanity: the histories of park creation; interaction between people and parks; urban governance and parks; urban conservation models; wildlife management; environmental education; and so on. This is a must-read for students and researchers interested in social ecology, social geography, conservation, urban planning and ecological policy.
