Food Production: Perspectives and Challenges (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781632393401)

The perspectives and challenges related to the field of food production are covered in this book. It talks about food production, manufacturing and certain issues related with its demand and supply in various countries of the world. Due to the prevailing food crisis, it is very important that a proper technique of food production is adopted and quality and safety of the food produced is also checked. This book discusses social issues like food shortage which emerge from insufficient food production in the third world countries. There is special focus on sustainable food production case studies in countries like semi-arid Jamaica, Africa, Caribbean, Nigeria, Pacific Island, Mexico and Brazil. This book also highlights the problems like quality check and safety and basically deals with scientific methods for improving food quality and safety. It discusses, in detail, the alternate method of control on deterioration of food, which is physical, rapid and analytical. Other problems related to animal husbandry, dairy production and hormones in food producing animals; and approaches and tasks in maize and rice production, have been discussed in the book.
