Risk and Food Safety in China and Japan reframes the relationship between risk and food. The book theorises the links between food and risk and analyses the decision-making process in light of risks and governance. The relationship between food risks, governance systems, and economic decisions is assessed in order to explore ideas such as the "pact of nutrition" and the theory of weak signals. This book will be an important resource for scholars, academics and policy-makers in the fields of sociology, economics, food studies, Chinese studies and Japanese studies and theories of risks and safety.

Emerging infectious diseases in China: the One Health approach Harm Kiezebrink
This report on the UN China One Health event (June 2011) is focusing on diseases at the human-animal-interface. ‘One Health’ and ‘Ecohealth’ are ways of thinking about, approaching and investigating diseases that go beyond the traditional pathogen-centric approach.
By examining the complex issues that result in disease emergence and transmission and this information can be used to implement better disease control and preventive measures.
One of the conclusions is that the rapid development in Asia means that the complex effects of changes to ecosystems not always have been discussed or examined in a way that takes account of the positive and negative effects of development.
For highly pathogenic avian influenza it has been important to understand how the disease emerged and spread so that appropriate measures could be implemented.

Assignment #1 – This assignment should help you to organize your thoughts about your research. Take time to really think about the questions – this effort will make writing the actual paper much easier. Please complete this worksheet and submit on Bb. You need to submit only once per pair (make sure I know who you are working with!).
1. With your partner, develop a research question. Write your research question here:
*Please ensure that the question is not answered by the book’s author.
Question is. "How has the development in human society led to the increased frequency of obesity?"
2. Why do you have this question? Please write a paragraph or two explaining your interest in this question. Give specific information from the book that leads you to ask this question (include page numbers). Explain how this information relates to your question.
Obesity in the whole world has become a public health problem in that it has raised concern. About 700 million people aged 15 years and above in the entire world are obese. The prevalence rate of based on years past shows a rapid increase of obesity in developed countries mainly Pacific region. Various cancers, cardiovascular diseases-morbidities, type II diabetes are some of the factors which lead to morbidity and mortality; this is based on literature on body exhaustive.
A public health strategy is, therefore, to be developed based on prevention of obesity rate of increase. The development and also the process of policies on preventing obesity should target factors which tend to contribute to obesity. Moreover, it should target barriers to lifestyle changes which are personal and also environmental and levels socioeconomic.
There are etiologies which contribute to obesity in which this etiologies are multifactorial,some if these factors include sedentary lifestyle, adverse socio-economic conditions which are there in developed countries, high rate of energy dense food, rigid restraint, alcohol, large portion sizes and food ratio which are prepared outside home (mostly in developed countries) page 70 (International journal of environmental research and public health).
There is a proposed framework by sacks (2009) where a suggestion is made that there should be policy actions and implementation of health strategies to preventing obesity. These factors target environments, behaviors directly influencing people, physical activity settings, food environments and also the socioeconomic environments.
3. What do you need to learn as a biologist to understand your question in the context of human evolution?
Obesity, diabetes and also metabolic syndrome has become a worldwide health concern due to that they are growing rapidly, and their causes are not fully understood. Therefore a research into the obesity epidemic etiology is highly appreciated depending on the evolutionary roots of metabolic control. Thrifty gene hypothesis argues that obesity is an evolutionary roots of metabolic control .

The main objective of the present study was to find out demand, supply and
acceptance in the Pune city. The research design was descriptive in nature. Data
was collected from different sections of the society. Questionnaire were prepared &
distributed among doctors, engineers, professors, dieticians, workers &
housewives. Pune city from Maharashtra state of India was selected for study.
Seventy nine feedbacks were collected. Random sampling technique was used for
collection of data. Health food was categorized in natural foods, organic food &
whole food. The demand of the health food is increasing day by day because of its
health benefits. Respondents were aware of health food items and health food
vendors in city. Health food has better qualities than regular food. It is widely
accepted by the people in Pune city. Natural food is more consumed by the people

Note on Critical and Emerging Issues for Food Security and NutritionNE Kim
Committee on World Food Security (CFS) the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE) has conducted a process to identify a wide range of issues of importance for food security and nutrition, as well as their interrelations, in a systemic way. Within the diversity of issues, the HLPE has identified, in addition to the nine issues that have already been the topic of an HLPE report, the following five critical and emerging issues of particular importance, both in their own right and as drivers of other issues.

Food vending is recently a booming part of the food industry and millions of people depend on it for their daily nutritional needs especially because of its easy accessibility. It has become an important public health issue due to widespread food-borne diseases which are leading cause of morbidity and mortality. This study is aimed at assessing the prevalence and antibiogram assay of bacteria associated with food vending in Awka-South LGA, Anambra State. The randomly selected towns for this study were three towns in Awka- South LGA in Anambra state namely Awka State capital , Mbaukwu and Nise. Descriptive cross-sectional study and multistage sampling technique was adopted and sample size determined using a standard formula. Total of 65 food vendors were sampled. Sterile swab sticks were used to swab the palms, aprons, plates and spoons of the food vendors and the rinse method was used for bacteria isolation. Antibiotics sensitivity test of isolates was carried out using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. The bacteria isolates from this study were E. coli 24.41 , S. aureus 21.60 , B. cereus 9.39 , Pseudomonas aeruginosa 15.96 , Serratia marcescens 4.70 , Klebsiella pneumonia 10.56 and Salmonella enterica 13.38 . The bacterial isolates during the course of this study showed wide resistance to conventional antibiotics especially beta-lactams. The findings of this study therefore necessitate the need for sensitization of food vendors and appropriate measures should be established to monitor susceptibility patterns of microorganisms involved as this will help to avoid possible outbreaks.

Traditional Processes of Food Fresh and Dried Fruits Production and Storage i...ijtsrd
Humans and animals have always had hard time for surviving. Their lives have been threatened on adverse ways, including the consumption of unhealthy food and in situations where food safety is not guaranteed. An example of such threaten on human life in third world countries like Afghanistan is due to the lack of awareness about healthy food, their productions, preservations, and consumptions. There are types of food which can easily get infected by fungi and those fungi are called Aflatoxin, and they are harmful to both humans and animals. Such types of harms nowadays threat the lives of Afghan citizens as they are producing types of food fresh and dry fruits that can be easily infected by Aflatoxin. This paper investigates Aflatoxin fungi and the substances that easily get infected with it and how they produce toxins in humans and animals food. The findings from the present study helps us know the harm as well as ways of preventing fungi in most Afghan fruits and can avoid eating food that are contaminated with Afalatoxin.

The ethical food movement: What does it mean for the role of science and scie...Harm Kiezebrink
Contemporary animal agriculture is increasingly criticized on ethical grounds. Consequently, current policy and legislative discussions have become highly controversial as decision makers attempt to reconcile concerns about the impacts of animal production on animal welfare, the environment, and on the efficacy of antibiotics required to ensure human health with demands for abundant, affordable, safe food.
Clearly, the broad implications for US animal agriculture of what appears to be a burgeoning movement relative to ethical food production must be understood by animal agriculture stakeholders. The potential effects of such developments on animal agricultural practices, corporate marketing strategies, and public perceptions of the ethics of animal production must also be clarified.
To that end, it is essential to acknowledge that people's beliefs about which food production practices are appropriate are tied to diverse, latent value systems. Thus, relying solely on scientific information as a means to resolve current debates about animal agriculture is unlikely to be effective.
The problem is compounded when scientific information is used inappropriately or strategically to advance a political agenda. Examples of the interface between science and ethics in regards to addressing currently contentious aspects of food animal production (animal welfare, antimicrobial use, and impacts of animal production practices on the environment) are reviewed.
The roles of scientists and science in public debates about animal agricultural practices are also examined. It is suggested that scientists have a duty to contribute to the development of sound policy by providing clear and objectively presented information, by clarifying misinterpretations of science, and by recognizing the differences between presenting data vs. promoting their own value judgments in regard to how and which data should be used to establish policy.
Finally, the role of the media in shaping public opinions on key issues pertaining to animal agriculture is also discussed.
http://www.fao.org/save-food/savefood/detail/en/c/237305/
Japan discards approximately 18 million tonnes of food annually, an amount that accounts for 40 percent of national food production. Although food loss and waste problems have been publicly acknowledged only very recently, strong implications arise from the economic and cultural history of the Japanese food system.

Aqueles que sofrem com isso sofrem com o olhar social que paira sobre eles. Eles são mal considerados e muitas vezes discriminados.
A alimentação humana é culturalmente determinada na definição do que é comestível, os métodos de preparação, consumo e sua implementação em contextos sociais.

Malaysia society is experiencing rapid urbanisation and modernization. A sizeable new middle class has emerged and the traditional ways of life and eating habits of the different ethnic communities are changing. For many years, nutritional surveys have been capturing the transformations of food consumptions. To date a comprehensive survey focusing on the socio-cultural determinants of food habits at the national level have not been reported. The purpose of the Malaysian Food Barometer is to fill this gap. This PPT presents the conceptual framework and the methodologies used to investigate the eating practices and cultural representations on food and eating in a multicultural context.

1. Risk and Food Safety in
China and Japan
Louis Augustin-Jean & Jean Pierre Poulain
Theoretical Perspectives
and Empirical Insights
2. Risk and Food Safety in
China and Japan
Around the world, food has probably never been as safe as it is today.
However, periodic crises have aroused consumer anxiety and contributed
to a general lack of confidence in the agro-industrial system. The diverse
nature of these crises increases governments’ and industry difficulties in
predicting and tackling them.
This book addresses the relations between risk and food theoretically and empirically
through case studies from Japan and China. Part one of the book examines the
interaction between theoretical aspects and decision-making. The book theorizes the
links between food and risk and analyses the decision-making process in light of risks and
governance. The relationship between food risks, governance systems, and economic
decisions is assessed to explore ideas such as the "pact of nutrition" and the theory of
weak signals. Part two examines case studies from China and Japan in the aftermaths of
recent crises such as the milk powder scandal in China and food safety following the
Fukushima nuclear accident and tsunami in Japan. This book will be an important
resource for scholars, academics and policy-makers in the fields of sociology, economics,
food studies, Chinese studies and Japanese studies and theories of risks and safety.
