Sinopse

"Corn and Hunger" explores the far-reaching implications of corn's central role in global food security, especially for vulnerable populations in Africa and Latin America. The book examines how fluctuations in corn supply chains—affected by factors like climate change and agricultural economics—can trigger humanitarian crises. Corn's significance extends beyond direct consumption; it's vital for animal feed and biofuel, contributing to price volatility. The book uniquely connects global corn markets to the lived experiences of those facing food insecurity, emphasizing the social and political ramifications of corn shortages.

 
The book offers a historical overview of corn cultivation since the Green Revolution, looking at the trade-offs between increased production and environmental consequences. Using data from organizations like the FAO and the World Bank, the analysis combines economic insights with perspectives from field research. Organized into three parts, the book first introduces corn as a global commodity, then focuses on the specific impacts of shortages in Africa and Latin America, and finally proposes policy recommendations for building resilient food systems.

    Food Health and Climate - Why It...

    By favoring mostly plant-based foods, we can actually save the world – and live longer, healthier lives. 
    A shift to mostly plant-based diets and new food technologies could solve our most important and pressing global problems. Issues like climate change, hunger, freshwater shortages, the Sixth Extinction, antibiotic resistance, and the threat of new pandemics might just melt away with the new food revolution. 
    According to official estimates, meat and other animal-based products account for around 20% of human-generated greenhouse gas emissions. However, the real figure must be significantly higher. Emissions from soils of grazing lands and fields growing cattle feed have not been included in the official statistics. Methane emissions from polluted lakes, rivers, reservoirs and shallow seas are still classified as natural emissions. Besides, cattle raising and fields growing animal feed threaten to transform the whole Amazonian rainforest to semi-dry savannah. If this happens, animal agriculture will become, overwhelmingly, the main driver for global warming. 
    Food, Health and Climate explains why it is not possible to halt global warming without reducing meat consumption. On the other hand, if we manage to shift to more sustainable eating habits, billions of hectares of land will be freed from animal farming and could be used to grow new conservation and carbon-sink forests, or to produce raw materials for new wood- and biomass-based products that could replace metals, concrete, plastics, and chemicals. 
    Risto Isomäki is a Finnish science fiction and science writer and a leading expert on environmental issues.  His books have been published in more than twenty Asian and European languages. 
    “The fiction and non-fiction books written by Risto Isomäki are searching for an equal in the world in their scope and visionarity.” – Professor Heikki Hiilamo, University of Helsinki

    Why invest in prevention when treatment is free? This provocative question lies at the heart of An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away: But Why Buy an Apple If the Doctor Comes Free? In this thought-provoking exploration of health economics, Dr Mazin Al Khabouri examines the paradox facing modern healthcare systems—particularly in the GCC and Oman—where easy access to care can unintentionally discourage healthy living.
    
    Blending over four decades of clinical, academic, and leadership experience, the author takes readers on a compelling journey through global healthcare models, from traditional systems to emerging hybrid approaches. He challenges conventional thinking on prevention versus cure, asking how societies can foster responsibility for health while maintaining equitable access to care.
    
    With insightful discussions on innovation—including artificial intelligence, telemedicine, and forward-looking care models—this book offers more than analysis; it presents a call to rethink how healthcare is delivered, financed, and sustained.
    
    Engaging, practical, and deeply relevant, this work is essential reading for policymakers, clinicians, and anyone interested in the future of healthcare.
