- Abstract:
- ... Reducing food losses (FL) is a promising way of improving food security. This is much more urgent for the developing world with a high level of food insecurity. However, driving factors contributing to the changes of FL are poorly understood. Here, we report on an investigation into the contribution of five potential driving factors to FL in Cameroon between 1994 and 2013, using a Logarithmic Mean ...

- Abstract:
- ... A sustainable agro-industrial value chain is essential for sustained food security. This requires optimised planning of operations and new expansions along the value chain. In this work, a fuzzy-based multi-objective approach is developed for planning sustainable new expansions of agriculture lands. Also, the expansion and capacity of post-harvest and production facilities and operations of logist ...

- Abstract:

We examine whether the needs of the poor influence mitigation and adaptation policies in the region. The continent is characterized by an interesting dynamic between inequality and climate change: it is predicted to disproportionately bear the effects of climate change, at th ...

- Abstract:
- ... While there is some research examining frequency of family meals by food insecurity (FI) status, there is little research examining other family meal characteristics (e.g., type of food served at meal, emotional atmosphere) or parent feeding practices by FI status. If food and money is scarce, it may be that the broader family meal environment looks different in families with continuous access to ...

Family profiles were developed based on patterns detected across a set of sociological and psychological variables. Latent profile analyses indicated three distinct subgroups of families: Food Secure and Organized (55% of the sample), Very Low Food Security and Disorganized (27 ...

Food is thought to be the main transmission road, mainly poultry meat. Campylobacter spreads rapidly in broiler houses even though the infected animals are often free of any symptoms. To further increase food security, it is importa ...

However, the social dimension of CE is virtually non-existent. Moreover, there is no holistic framework to select the social indicators to be used to assess the positive or negative impacts of CE strategies. Thus, this paper proposes an approach t ...
