Описание: CHAPTER SYNOPSES Chapter 1 Goh, Bee Chen and Price, Rohan Introduction: Organic Food Safety and Regulatory Framework in the Asia Pacific PART I INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES ON ORGANICS REGULATORY FRAMEWORK Chapter 2 Leifert, Carlo, Willson, Adam and Paynter, Greg HACCP-based quality assurance systems for the organic food sector; the need to cover food quality, safety and security The price premium achieved by organic foods is based on consumer perceptions that organic crop and livestock production protocols deliver significant environmental, biodiversity, ethical and food quality, and security gains. Auditing based organic certification and HACCP-based food safety assurance systems that are currently used for quality assurance in primary food production focus primarily on ensuring (a) that 4 farmers do not use prohibited inputs such as synthetic chemical fertilisers, pesticides, hormones, and food additives that are of concern to consumers, (b) the absence of potentially harmful microbial, chemical and physical hazards and (c) traceability of foods throughout the supply chain. In contrast, quality assurance systems for environmental, biodiversity and in particular nutritional quality and food security gains associated with organic production systems are relatively poorly developed. Also, while animal health and welfare is a major objective of organic standards/certification schemes, current standards/auditing systems are thought to be inefficient with respect to ensuring (a) the ethical treatment of farm workers and (b) "fair trade"/ethical relationships between supply chain actors. This chapter will therefore review the results of recent meta-analyses of the agronomic and supply chain factors responsible for (a) differences in nutritional quality between organic and conventional foods, and (b) positive environmental, biodiversity and food security impacts of organic farming practices. Approaches/strategies which could be taken to expand organic certification schemes to cover nutritional, environmental, ethical and food security-related "quality" parameters are discussed. Chapter 3 Shen, Ying Chinese Organic Food Law and Its Impact on Climate Change China is among the world's largest producers in organics and its organic agriculture has been boosting since the turn of the Millennium with the rapid development of both domestic and international production and trade in organic food. To instil transparency and trust among stakeholders, the Chinese government has issued a series of new regulations relating to food safety and organic certification. Organic agriculture ensured by these regulations is not only affected by climate change but also contributes to it, both adapting to changes and offering options for mitigation (i.e. reducing greenhouse gas emissions and storing carbon). This chapter aims to provide an overview of Chinese organic food law and investigate its impact on climate change. Through investigating stakeholders involved in and regulations relating to organics, challenges to the enforcement of food safety law as well as organic certification issues are identified and analysed. Particularly, the impact of these regulations on climate change mitigation and adaptation is discussed as an outlook on the development of organic agriculture in China. Chapter 4 Goh, Bee Chen COOL Organic Trade - Organic Food Certification Influencing Asian Consumerism, with a special reference to China and Thailand Consumers are interested in buying organic food products from countries where there is a reputation for organic quality and standard through the certification process. Countries like Australia, New Zealand and Canada have been well-known generally for high-quality organic food production and distribution through maintaining stringe
Описание: Safety and Regulatory Issues of Nanoencapsulated Food Ingredients, a volume in the Nanoencapsulation in the Food Industry series, discusses the safety and toxicity potential of food-relevant and edible nanostructures, along with legislation issued by different countries and organizations governing their safety. The book's chapters cover safety issues of nanocapsules in food matrices, their possible toxicity effects, and in vitro and in vivo assays which are explored to underline their impact. Authored by a team of global experts in the fields of nano and microencapsulation of food, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical ingredients, this title is of great value to those engaged in fields surrounding nanoencapsulation

Описание:
“We are undertaking the most tremendous move ever made by LABOR in this country, a move which will lead—NO ONE KNOWS WHERE!” With these words echoing throughout the city, on February 6, 1919, 65,000 Seattle workers began one of the most important general strikes in US history. For six tense yet nonviolent days, the Central Labor Council negotiated with federal and local authorities on behalf of the shipyard workers whose grievances initiated the citywide walkout. Meanwhile, strikers organized to provide essential services such as delivering supplies to hospitals and markets, as well as feeding thousands at union-run dining facilities.
Robert L. Friedheim’s classic account of the dramatic events of 1919, first published in 1964 and now enhanced with a new introduction, afterword, and photo essay by James N. Gregory, vividly details what happened and why. Overturning conventional understandings of the American Federation of Labor as a conservative labor organization devoted to pure and simple unionism, Friedheim shows the influence of socialists and the IWW in the city’s labor movement. While Seattle’s strike ended in disappointment, it led to massive strikes across the country that determined the direction of labor, capital, and government for decades. The Seattle General Strike is an exciting portrait of a Seattle long gone and of events that shaped the city’s reputation for left-leaning activism into the twenty-first century.
Описание: The challenging geography and poor infrastructure of many Pacific nations mean digital financial services (DFS) are a particularly effective means of enhancing financial inclusion in the region. However, a number of major challenges confront DFS in the Pacific, including the establishment of reliable agent networks and the building of sufficient consumer trust in DFS for it to become a viable payments channel. This report examines the current use of DFS in the Pacific, analyzes the issues that need to be addressed, and provides recommendations for increasing financial inclusion in the region.
