HACCP in Germany and Lebanon
(2018-10-22)
Food borne outbreaks have been on the rise in Lebanon and in Germany in recent years. Food safety systems have been developed over a period of years starting from HACCP which was established in the 1950’s unto the European directive 93/43/EEC established in 1993, to directive (EC) No 178/2002 until today in order to prevent and control hazards in the different food safety fields. Such systems which started with HACCP (hazard analysis and critical control point) and was later integrated into private systems such as ...

Untersuchungen zu Qualität und Verträglichkeit ökologischer Milch
(2016-09-15)
In der Literatur findet sich eine kontroverse Debatte um eine Differenzierbarkeit ökologischer und konventioneller Produktqualität von Lebensmitteln. Zugleich greifen zahlreiche subjektiv überzeugte Verbraucher zunehmend zu ökologischen Lebensmitteln. Als eines der Kaufmotive wird in vielen Umfragen die Annahme eines höheren Gesundheitswertes und allgemein einer höheren Qualität ökologischer Produkte genannt. Bisher besteht hinsichtlich der Definitionen, Methoden sowie der Einordnung ökologischer Produktqualität keine ...

Double burden malnutrition of preschool children and its association with brain development and milk consumption
(2015-08-11)
Protecting the quality of children growth and development becomes a supreme qualification for the betterment of a nation. Double burden child malnutrition is emerging worldwide which might have a strong influence to the quality of child brain development and could not be paid-off on later life. Milk places a notable portion during the infancy and childhood. Thus, the deep insight on milk consumption pattern might explain the phenomenon of double burden child malnutrition correlated to the cognitive impairments. ...

Entwicklung und Validierung einer elektrochemischen Methode zur Differenzierung von Weizenproben und elektrochemische Unterschungen an Möhren
(2007-07-18)
Eine Methode zur Differenzierung von Weizenproben (Triticum aestivum L.) mittels elektrochemischer Parameter wurde entwickelt und validiert. Die Methode wurde auf die wichtigsten Einfluss- und Verfahrensgrößen hin untersucht. Als eine Voraussetzung zur Validierung wurden alle Laborprozesse in normativen Dokumenten beschrieben. Dies ist zum ersten Mal überhaupt für die Methode in diesem Umfang durchgeführt worden. Mit der Methode wurden Messungen durchgeführt, um Weizenproben aus fünf verschiedenen Anbausystemen ...

The Effect of Climate Variability on Main Components of Cow Milk in Iran
(2016-11-21)
The main purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between six bioclimatic indices
for cattle (temperature humidity (THI), environmental stress (ESI), equivalent temperature
(ESI), heat load (HLI), modified heat load (HLInew) and respiratory rate predictor(RRP)) and
fundamental milk components (fat, protein, and milk yield) considering uncertainty. The climate
parameters used to calculate the climate indices were taken from the NASA-Modern Era
Retrospective-Analysis for Research and Applications ...

Climate change and hunger as the challenges in the global food system
(Department of Organic Food Quality and Food Culture at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2013-04-25)
In the last decades, there has been a growing tendency towards international trade and globalisation, particularly leading to a significant increase in flows of agricultural commodities worldwide. From a macroeconomic perspective, the commodity projections are more optimistic than the previous years and the long run tendency shows an increasing demand for feedstock. However, the strong shifts of shocks and fluctuations (in terms of prices and volumes) are a concern to global food security, with the number of hungry ...

Documenting the social and environmental consequences of oil palm plantations in Nicaragua
(Department of Organic Food Quality and Food Culture at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2017-12-29)
Palm oil production is expanding in many tropical areas worldwide. The implications for the landscape, social relations and living conditions in the respective areas are the subject of a controversial debate. This article explores the social, economic, and environmental impacts caused by palm oil production in two places in south-eastern Nicaragua: Kukra Hill and Boca de Sábalos. From a theoretical perspective of political ecology, this article reflects on the opportunities and limitations of non-governmental ...

Urban agriculture: How bottom-up initiatives are impacting space and policies in São Paulo
(Department of Organic Food Quality and Food Culture at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2017-12-29)
The growing demand for the creation of urban gardens in large cities has created a discussion about the need for green spaces in cities that fulfil multiple functions. Beyond the production of fresh and healthy food, these spaces should also connect citizens, transform the public space through collective action, and engage the participation of society in the policies and planning for a greener city with a better quality of life. This paper addresses the case of São Paulo specifically and illustrates how urban gardens ...

The case for citizen science in urban agriculture research
(Department of Organic Food Quality and Food Culture at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2017-12-29)
In an uncertain future of climate change and constrained resources, urban agriculture is widely viewed as a sustainable and scalable approach to improving food security. While its social, health and wellbeing benefits are well documented, there is a major knowledge gap in terms of the financial accessibility of urban food production for all households. The implications are far-reaching: if urban agriculture is purely a middle-class discretionary activity, then it will play a limited role in improving food security ...
