Описание: This edited volume brings together contributions from experts on a range of food security issues, and examines them through a number of case studies. A Millennium Development goal and important policy concern, food security is experiencing renewed interest due to globalisation, which has led to population affluence, changing consumption, and production and trade patterns. The authors discuss how globalisation brings a new dimension to the discussion on public policy on food security, and consider the extent to which Global Value Chains (GVCs) dominate trade, investment and international agricultural markets. Food Security and Sustainability therefore sheds new light on the nexus of food security and globalization, as well as its implications for investment and financing in the agro-food sector. The volume draws on papers presented at the inaugural Workshop of the Mediterranean Center for Food Security and Sustainable Growth (MED-SEC), an international network of academics focusing on issues of development, sustainability and food security.

Описание: This book highlights various methods of quantifying sustainability indicators in the food sector, highlighting the environmental indicators in the meat chain and agri-food wastes from a bio-refinery perspective. Numerous sustainability indicators that encompass all three pillars – economic, environmental and social areas – as well as individual and joint indicators (e.g. environmental and social) have been developed and quantified to date. Some of these indicators can be utilised for any industrial sector, while others are sector-specific. Behind each indicator developed, there is a unique scientific model, method or assessment technique. This book enumerates these indicators, providing details such as the concept, development methodology, assessment technique, and applications, mainly in the food industry.

Описание: This handbook, addressed to Members of Parliament and Parliamentary Advisors, provides a comprehensive overview of the role that Parliamentarians can play in the creation of reliable, coherent, and transparent “enabling environments” in areas related to investment in agriculture and food systems.
After explaining the urgent need to enhance responsible investment in agriculture and food systems and showing how can it contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and national development, the book provides concrete actions that MPs and Parliamentary Advisors can implement in their countries to improve investments. These include assessing and ensuring consistency in legal and policy frameworks.
Moreover, to support parliamentarians and advisors in creating effective partnerships with other stakeholders, such as other parliamentarians, the private sector, civil society and academia, the last section of the publication provides tailored key messages that can be used in meetings, conferences and other kinds of communications such as reports, press releases, and social media. It includes useful explanations of how data and country-level statistics can support advocacy and communication activities.
