In recent years, the problem of food waste has attracted considerable interest from food producers, processors, retailers, and consumers alike. Food waste is considered not only a sustainability problem related to food security, but also an economic problem since it directly impacts the profitability of the whole food supply chain. In developed countries, consumers are one of the main contribut...

The food supply chain is a critical infrastructure that is an attractive target for terrorist attacks. Despite its importance, relatively little research has focused on improving the security of the food supply chain infrastructure. This is largely due to a lack of awareness on the part of food supply chain stakeholders and authorities about the threats. This paper describes a methodology for a...

In the past decade, the Food Safety discipline has addressed the assessment of hazards in foods within the framework of Risk Analysis, a new science-based paradigm intended to guarantee human health protection contemplated by EU legislation (Reg.178/2002). The objectives of risk analysis are to estimate the risk to human health of a hazard associated with food consumption; and most importantly,...

The concern over antibiotic-resistant bacteria producing human infections that are difficult to treat has led to a proliferation of studies in recent years investigating resistance in livestock, food products, the environment and people, as well as in the mechanisms of transfer of the genetic elements of resistance between bacteria, and the routes, or risk pathways, by which the spread of resis...

In order to stabilize the supply and price of shallots in Indonesia, a production development program was held outside Java. Pontianak City is one areas for shallot West Kalimantan. The level demand increases every year. This indicates an increase consumption per capita. problem high fluctuations. does not only occur at consumer level, but also producer level. method used descriptive qualitativ...

About 130 studies were analyzed to compare farm-level energy use and global warming potential (GWP) of organic and conventional production sectors. Cross cutting issues such as tillage, compost, soil carbon sequestration and energy offsets were also reviewed. Finally, we contrasted E and GWP data from the wider food system. We concluded that the evidence strongly favours organic farming with re...

In this fast-moving era, food plays a vital role in the human mankind lives. It was listed the top 5 needs in the Maslow hierarchy chart. As we moves into the 21 st century, when the economy is fast blooming; humans are acting faster to keep up to the never-ending trend where time plays an important role. Hence, fast food chain has been keeping up to the demand of consumers, which led it to the...

We study global asymptotic properties of a continuous time Leslie-Gower food chain model. We construct a Lyapunov function which enables us to establish global asymptotic stability of the unique coexisting equilibrium state.
