The Kenyan Government launched Food security as one of the Big Four Agenda which, with contribution food supply chain participants, mainly focuses on eradicating perennial that has been transmuting population for a long time. Thus, this study’s development replication regime initiative through adoption strategic supplier partnership resilience concept, position postulating best practices to dri...

Female Nile tilapia incubate fertilized eggs in their mouth until they are released as alevins. Consequently, the female may not eat during this period. Thus, it would be expected that female Nile tilapia are more adapted to recovering from fasting than males, which do not display this behavior. To test this hypothesis we conducted an experiment with two groups of fish consisting of 7 males and...

There are many combinations of drug-drug interactions that have been extensively cited in the literature; on the other hand different food-drug interactions exist and can have serious negative effects on health which must not be discarded. During the present review different points were discussed including effect of drug administration on food utilization, nutritional status and appetite such a...

What does this article offers? It raises questions on the assumptions of efficiency in agriculture, traces the history of the logic of scale replacing logic of scope, analyses its impact on sustainability and offers a framework to discern technical contradictions of efficiency across different sectors and find a balance for sustainability. It delves with a few basic questions: First, what is th...

The ultimate causes of evolution of highly specialized pollination systems are little understood. We investigated the relationship between specialization and pollination efficiency, defined as the proportion of pollinated flowers relative to those that experienced pollen removal, using orchids with different pollination strategies as a model system. Rewarding orchids showed the highest pollinat...

This article develops indicators to monitor energy efficiency developments in the food and tobacco industry based on physical production data at the firm level provided by the statistics office of the Netherlands in a confidential basis. We measure energy efficiency by using an energy efficiency indicator which is the aggregate specific energy consumption. Our results show that the food and tob...

It has been known for many years that a number of different nutritional deficiencies lower the efficiency of food utilization. For example, riboflavin-deficient rats consume 15 to ‘20% more calories than are required to maintain control animals at the same weight (1). The lowered efficiency of food utilization in riboflavin deficiency has been attributed in part to incomplete oxidation of nutri...
