This paper outlines brietly the growth of India’s agriculture and, more recently, the role of food-production programmes in that growth, observing the impact of food-production and also of food-supply programmes on the society at large and, especially, on the diets of poorer families. Inevitably, this first part of the paper is largely descriptive; however, in the last one-third of the paper, t...

Food and nutrition security are intimately interconnected, since only a food based approach can help in overcoming malnutrition in an economically and socially sustainable manner. Food production provides the base for food security as it is a key determinant of food availability. This paper deals with different aspects of ensuring high productivity and production without associated ecological h...

olive oil is one of the foods that are preferred by consumers seeking healthy nutrition. healthy, safety and high quality olive oil production can only be achieved in olive oil enterprises that follow these criteria. therefore, food safety and quality management systems should be placed in these olive oil enterprises. the aim of this study was to determine behaviors and attitudes of firm owners...

Entrohemorrhagic Escherichia coli is a human pathogen that causes hemorrhagic colitis due to its verotoxin. It is an agent with food poisoning importance; a significant number of cases subsequntly develop hemolitic uremic syndrome (HUS) which is probably the most common cause of renal failure in childeren and occasionally resulting in death. Inhibition of bacterial growth in food is the most im...

The availability of atmospheric carbon dioxide is the sine qua non for all plant growth and thence for all marine and terrestrial life forms. The purpose of this paper is to show that proposed reductions in anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) to below the level of observed annual incremental biospheric absorption of those emissions would reduce the growth of the basic feedstock of a...
