Biodiversity, Food and Nutrition

This book examines the challenges and impacts of poor diets and nutrition from current food systems and the potential contribution of biodiversity and ecosystem services in addressing these problems.There is a strong need for a multi-level, cross-sectoral approach that connects food biodiversity conservation and sustainable use to address critical problems in our current food systems, including malnutrition. Building on research from the Biodiversity for Food and Nutrition Project (BFN), which aims to better link biodiversity, diets and nutrition, the book presents a multi-country, cross-sectoral analysis of initiatives that have promoted local food biodiversity in four countries: Brazil, Kenya, Turkey and Sri Lanka. This book offers a comprehensive summary of the BFN Project results in each of the four countries along with lessons learned and how this work could be upscaled or applied in other regions. It argues that the strategic promotion and use of food biodiversity is critical in uniting attempts to address conservation, nutrition and livelihood concerns. The book is structured around chapters and case studies encompassing the BFN Project with specific experiences related by partners who played key roles in the work being done in each country. By offering a comparative view capable of furthering dialogue between the respective countries, it is also meant to connect the individual cases for a "greater than the sum of its parts" effect. This means consideration of how localized activities can be adapted to more countries and regions. Therefore, the book addresses global issues with a foot planted firmly in the grounded case study locations.This book will be of great interest to policymakers, practitioners and NGOs working on food and nutrition, as well as students and scholars of agriculture, food systems and sustainable development.

Key Concepts in Geomorphology

The branch of science which is concerned with the origin and evolution of various landscapes on earth is known as geomorphology. This includes the study of various chemical, physical and biological processes on Earth like air, ice and water, and their effects on the formation of topographic and bathymetric features. Geomorphology maps the distribution of different types of landforms such as sand dunes, glaciers, etc. Some of the important processes that are studied under this discipline are Aeolian processes, biological processes, fluvial processes, glacial processes, igneous processes, hillslope processes and tectonic processes. The subject of geomorphology often overlaps with various other fields like glaciology, civil engineering, environmental engineering, sedimentology, etc. It finds extensive application in a wide variety of areas such as river control, stream restoration, hazard assessment and coastal protection. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the field of geomorphology. It studies, analyses and uphold the pillars of geomorphology and its utmost significance in modern times. The book is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area.

Orphan Crops for Sustainable Food and Nutrition Security

Orphan Crops for Sustainable Food and Nutrition Security discusses the issues, challenges, needs and opportunities related to the promotion of orphan crops, known also as neglected and underutilized species (NUS). The book is structured into six parts, covering the following themes: introduction to NUS, approaches, methods and tools for the use enhancement of NUS, integrated conservation and use of minor millets, nutritional and food security roles of minor millets, stakeholders and global champions, and, building an enabling environment. Presenting a number of case studies at the regional and country levels, the chapters cover different but highly interlinked aspects along the value chains, from acquisition and characterization of genetic diversity, cultivation and harvesting to value addition, marketing, consumption and policy for mainstreaming. Cross-cutting issues like gender, capacity building and empowerment of vulnerable groups are also addressed by authors. Representatives from communities, research for development agencies and the private sector also share their reflections on the needs for the use enhancement of NUS from their own perspectives. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of food security, sustainable agriculture, nutrition and health and development, as well as practitioners and policymakers involved in building more resilient food and production systems.
