Nutrition and Food Security for All: A Step towards the Future (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783725838325)

When producing food, it is crucial to take into account both the waste generated in the food chain as a result of environmental degradation and the food waste that could be otherwise consumed by members of society. Finding strategies to boost local and regional food production and consumption is also crucial for promoting sustainable availability, food security, and healthy diets. Other objectives include lowering animal illness rates and producing enough high-quality food in adequate amounts with little waste. Taking into account these ideas, this reprint presents 17 papers published by researchers from 16 different countries all over the world, including Brazil, Chile, China, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, the UK, Uruguay, and the USA. Due to the added value provided by all the works, the editors believe that this reprint can contribute to the knowledge on nutrition and food security from a global perspective, both for the scientific community and for populations all over the world, and that great steps can be made towards a better future in this context.
