Synopsis

Food Security Issues offers a comprehensive examination of global food accessibility in an era defined by population growth and climate change. It addresses how, despite advancements in agricultural production, food insecurity remains a pressing global challenge. The book uniquely integrates economics, social science, and agriculture to dissect the complexities of food systems.

For example, did you know that inefficiencies in food distribution networks significantly contribute to food waste, even as millions face hunger? Or that socioeconomic factors like poverty and inequality are major drivers of food insecurity?

The book is structured into three main sections, progressing from foundational concepts to in-depth analyses of agricultural productivity, distribution networks, and socioeconomic factors. It adopts a data-driven approach, using quantitative data from organizations like the FAO and the World Bank, alongside qualitative case studies, to provide a practical guide for policymakers and researchers. Spatial analysis techniques are used to map food access disparities and identify hotspots of food insecurity.

This book will appeal to students, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners across multiple fields. It delivers a holistic understanding of sustainable food systems, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration and community-based solutions to combat hunger, malnutrition, and poverty, offering insights into debates about biotechnology, trade liberalization, and effective policy interventions.

We Were Once a Family - A Story...

Roxanna Asgarian

One of Literary Hub's most anticipated books of 2023"Narrator Suehyla El-Attar gives an impassioned performance that enhances the touching, terrifying tale of social injustice and systemic failure. Her delivery is compelling and clear, evoking a captivating listening experience from this true-crime tragedy."- Library JournalThe shocking, deeply reported story of a murder-suicide that claimed the lives of six children—and a searing indictment of the American foster care system.On March 26, 2018, rescue workers discovered a crumpled SUV and the bodies of two women and several children at the bottom of a cliff beside the Pacific Coast Highway. Investigators soon concluded that the crash was a murder-suicide, but there was more to the story: Jennifer and Sarah Hart, it turned out, were a white married couple who had adopted the six Black children from two different Texas families in 2006 and 2008. Behind the family's loving facade, however, was a pattern of abuse and neglect that went ignored as the couple withdrew the children from school and moved across the country. It soon became apparent that the State of Texas knew very little about the two individuals to whom it had given custody of six children—with fateful consequences.In the manner of Adrian Nicole LeBlanc's Random Family and other classic works of investigative journalism, Roxanna Asgarian’s We Were Once a Family is a revelation of vulnerable lives; it is also a shattering exposé of the foster care and adoption systems that produced this tragedy. As a journalist in Houston, Asgarian became the first reporter to put the children’s birth families at the center of the story. We follow the author as she runs up against the intransigence of a state agency that removes tens of thousands of kids from homes each year in the name of child welfare, while often failing to consider alternatives. Her reporting uncovers persistent racial biases and corruption as children of color are separated from birth parents without proper cause. The result is a riveting narrative and a deeply reported indictment of a system that continues to fail America’s most vulnerable children while upending the lives of their families.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

Enzymology - Enzymes at Work How...

Mike Crawford

Enzymes are essential biological molecules that drive the chemical reactions necessary for life. These specialized proteins act as catalysts, accelerating biochemical reactions without being consumed in the process. Without enzymes, many of the reactions that sustain life would occur too slowly to support cellular function, metabolism, and overall biological activity. Their role is fundamental to everything from digestion and energy production to DNA replication and cellular communication.
One of the most crucial functions of enzymes is their ability to facilitate metabolic processes. Enzymes lower the activation energy required for reactions, making it possible for cells to convert nutrients into usable energy efficiently. For instance, the enzyme amylase breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars, while proteases and lipases help digest proteins and fats, respectively. Without these enzymes, organisms would struggle to extract energy from food, leading to a breakdown in normal physiological functions.
Beyond metabolism, enzymes play a key role in DNA replication and repair. DNA polymerase, for example, ensures the accurate copying of genetic material during cell division, while ligases and helicases assist in maintaining the stability and integrity of DNA strands. These enzymatic activities are vital for growth, reproduction, and the prevention of genetic mutations that could lead to diseases. Enzymes also regulate gene expression by modifying DNA and histones, controlling which genes are turned on or off in response to environmental or developmental signals.
