Food rescue and donation in socioenvironmental policies on tackling food loss and waste: a systematic review
(2021-12-20)
In recent years, there has been an increasing concern among governments about food loss and waste – FL&W and, in this context, the food rescue and donation – FR&D has emerged in the scenario of socioenvironmental policies as a strategic factor for FL&W reduction. Despite FR&D have potential to establish a “win-win” arrangement between the spheres of waste management and demands of food security, it still has been perceived as a less attractive alternative than forwarding the surplus food to the waste treatment system. ...

Decontamination of Pineapple (Ananas comosus) juice using Ozone as a Non-thermal Sterilization method
(2021-12-15)
Ozone is a non thermal preservation technology used for enhancing shelf life and the safety of the food products. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of gaseous ozone on microbial decontamination and on some physicochemical characteristics (soluble solids content, pH, titratable acidity and color), bioactive compounds and total antioxidant activity of Pineapple juice. Ozone treatments were applied for Pineapple juice at 4 different exposure times as 15 mins, 30 mins, 45 mins and 60 mins at 250C and ...

Agroecological transition in Southern Benin: What challenges for more efficient vegetable farming systems?
(2022-10-18)
In Benin, agroecological intensification and agroecological transition of vegetable farming systems is an undeniable necessity for achieving the objectives of food and nutrition security while preserving natural resources, human and animal health. The present study analyses vegetable farming systems in southern Benin, to highlight bottlenecks and challenges in the process of an agroecological transition and intensification of these systems. Data were collected with questionnaires and interview guides through individual ...

Using Optical Satellite Imagery to Monitor and Understand Agricultural Land-cover Change
(2020-06)
The activities of humans have transformed the earth over the last decades. The transformation is estimated to increase further in response to the growing world population. This has caused many countries to devise means to utilize resources sustainably. Bio-economy is seen as a means to reduce the high reliance on fossil materials and ensure the provision of raw materials, energy and food to the increasing world population in a sustainable manner. However, the rising demands for biomass to produce bioenergy have relied ...

Evaluating the role of climate smart agriculture towards sustainable livelihoods in Mutare district, Zimbabwe
(2022-02-15)
Increasing climate variability continues to threaten livelihoods in southern Africa where communities face the challenges of addressing context specific complexities associated with rain-fed agriculture. Zimbabwe is equally vulnerable but the country is going through a transformation in agriculture through the implementation of climate smart agriculture practices that endeavour to enhance adaptation, resilience and increase productivity. The study was undertaken in Mutare district, Zimbabwe with the aim of exploring ...

Genotypic differences in body weight and physiological response of local and exotic turkeys challenged with Salmonella typhimurium
(2021-11-02)
To better understand susceptibility and/ or tolerance of locally adapted turkey to salmonellosis, we compared bodyweight, antibody titres and physiological traits based on genotype and sex of salmonella-infected turkeys. Three hundred poults from two genotypes (160 local and 140 exotic turkeys) were raised for twenty weeks. Bodyweight (BW), rectal temperature (RT), pulse rate (PR) and respiratory rate (RR) were measured weekly. Blood samples were collected from each turkey before and after inoculations at week 8 and ...

The effect of transglutaminase on physicochemical, microstructural, and organoleptic properties of low fat karish cheese
(2022-04-15)
Karish cheese is considered to be one of the most traditional Egyptian cheeses. It is manufactured from low-fat milk. It can be a key part of a healthy diet, especially for the elderly and those suffering from obesity-related illnesses. Low-fat cheese such as karish cheese has the problem of crumbly texture characteristics, which is the main problem for cheesemakers. This research aimed to improve the texture of karish cheese using transglutaminase (TGase), and to study the effects on cheese physical, microstructural, ...

Agricultural risk assessment to enhance the food systems of the Mbororo minority community in the Northwest region of Cameroon
(2021-10-29)
Increasing population pressure, coupled with the effects of climate change manifested by longer dry seasons, wildfires, and conflicts, threatens the food systems of minority communities. In the case of the Mbororo minority community of Northwest Region of Cameroon, these threats are exacerbated by already existing problems of marginalisation. This study assesses agricultural risks in the global context of food distribution and gross domestic product that also poses a specific threat to the food system of the Mbororo ...
