Beschreibung

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.

You Become What You Think About...

Vic Johnson

Buddha declared that, “The mind is everything. What you think you become.” “You become what you think about all day long” is how Ralph Waldo Emerson expressed it.

In The Strangest Secret, the only personal development recording ever to receive a Gold Record, Earl Nightingale reveals that the secret is “You become what you think about."

Using that principle, you can create an entirely different world than you live in today. Bruce Lee returned to the United States at the age of 18 with $100 in his pocket and the idea he often quoted that "As you think, you become." By the time of his early death a scant 14 years later, he had become a major motion picture icon and the father of mixed martial arts.

Your subconscious mind is responsible for just about every major thing in your life. You don’t have to consciously think about breathing, your heart beating, walking, or how to properly digest and metabolize the food you eat.

Without the cooperation of your subconscious -- the deep recesses of your inner self -- change can be difficult to impossible. You might consciously have tried to lose weight. But if your subconscious mind was fixated on fattening food and how difficult exercise was, the experience was probably a challenge or a dismal failure. Therefore, changing one or more aspects of your life can’t occur until you affect change on your subconscious.

In You Become What You Think About: How Your Mind Creates The World You Live In, Vic Johnson will take you step-by-step as he shows you how to harness and use the power of directed thought in your life.
