Download or read book Neglected Plant Foods Of South Asia written by Tariq Ismail and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-20 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the global hunger index, South Asia has worldwide highest rate of undernourished people. Such a burden of food insecurity and various forms of malnutrition are directly associated with the existing food production system that ignores biodiversity, food affordability, and sustainability. During the last five decades, food production system has witnessed a global shift from ethnic to mainstream staple cereals production and promotion. Such an approach has badly affected the regional genetic pool of a diverse range of nourishing, economical, and sustainable edible plant species which are now referred to as neglected or underutilized food crops. Neglected Plant Foods of South Asia collects and preserves existing knowledge of underutilized, minor, wild, neglected and traditional food plants of South Asia, and their utilization for the production of value-added food products. Aiming at introducing plant – based food solutions to address the increasing burden of food insecurity among marginalized communities of South Asia, this manuscript covers a plethora of nutrient-dense plant species including fruits, vegetables, roots, tubers, cereals, pseudo-cereals, and pulses. In addition to having an overview of each plant's origin, cultivation practices and production statistics, researchers will find comprehensive information on nutritional composition, food manufacturing properties, value-addition and traditional uses of neglected plant foods. Recent updates on strategies to combat toxicological risks associated with the consumption of neglected food plants have also been included. With this volume, researchers will have complete information on neglected, underutilized traditional edible plants of South Asia, and their potential to increase food security under the emerging challenges of climate change.
Book Synopsis Urging Policy Formulation on Millets by : Chaudhury Mishra
Download or read book Urging Policy Formulation on Millets written by Chaudhury Mishra and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally finger millet (Eleusine coracana) and little millet (Panicum sumatrense) have been regarded as major cereal crops in tribal communities of Kundra, Odisha state providing food and nutritional security. The influence of the food habits of urban population, distribution of cereals like rice by the Government of India at a subsidised rate/free of cost under social welfare programmes, lack of knowledge on scientific agronomic practices and absence of strategic policy planning for sustainable agriculture and food and nutritional security in tribal tracts of Odisha state have threatened the very existence of nutritious millets. Millets, known for their climate resilience and high mineral and vitamin content, are healthy cereals providing a great solution to the global challenge of food security under the present context of climate change. The present study highlights the traditional inter-linkage of three tribal communities namely Poraja, Kandha and Penthia with millets, planning of scientific interventions in participatory mode with the communities to promote millet production, consumption and commerce and study of the impact of interventions for policy formulation on sustainable agriculture and food and nutritional security. The encouraging outcomes with policy recommendations are disseminated at local, national and international levels involving all stakeholders such as government agencies, not for profit organisations, print and electronic media, scientific community, funding agencies, traders and farmers with a view of favourable policy formulation to ensure sustainable agriculture and enhance food and nutrition security in ancient tribal tracts of Eastern India.

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.
