This book is devoted to food production and the problems associated with the satisfaction of food needs in different parts of the world. The emerging food crisis calls for development of sustainable food production, and the quality and safety of the food produced should be guaranteed. The book contains thirteen chapters and is divided into two sections. The first section is related to social issues rising from food insufficiency in the third world countries, and is titled "Sustainable food production: Case studies". The case studies of semi-arid Africa, Caribbean and Jamaica, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Pacific Islands, Mexico and Brazil are discussed. The second section, titled "Scientific Methods for Improving Food Quality and Safety", covers the methods for control and avoidance of food contaminants. Substitution of chemical treatment with physical, rapid analytical methods for control of contaminants, problems in animal husbandry related to diary production and hormones in food producing animals, approaches and tasks in maize and rice production are in the covered by 6 chapters in this section.

Si depuis une trentaine d’années la gloire et le prestige entourent les grands chefs français, l’histoire des cuisiniers ne se confond pas avec celle des cuisiniers les plus célèbres. Le monde des cuisines comprend en effet plusieurs catégories d’« ouvriers » et d’acteurs : à côté des cuisiniers de la restauration commerciale, il y a les cuisiniers de maison bourgeoise et les cuisiniers de la restauration collective. Si importantes qu’elles soient, ces distinctions n’ont pas empêché les cuisiniers de lutter ensemble pour changer leur statut dans la société. Jusqu’à la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la condition de l’immense majorité des chefs et des cuisiniers était celle de domestiques ou d’employés. Dans les restaurants les chefs étaient placés sous l’autorité des restaurateurs, propriétaires des restaurants et des maîtres d’hôtel qui dans les salles étaient au contact direct de la clientèle. Les chefs et les cuisiniers ont été longs à s’affranchir de cette double tutelle et à gagner leur indépendance. Ils ont cherché à la fin du xixe siècle à faire reconnaître leur compétence et leur qualification professionnelle puis ils sont devenus progressivement au xxe siècle propriétaires de leurs restaurants. La médiatisation puis l’aventure de la Nouvelle Cuisine dans le dernier tiers du xxe siècle les ont mis en relation avec d’autres mondes – le show business, l’industrie et la finance – tandis que l’industrie agroalimentaire changeait complètement les conditions et les modalités d’exercice de leur métier. Quant aux cuisiniers de maisons bourgeoises, ils ont dû attendre les années soixante du xxe siècle pour acquérir le statut de salarié qui n’est plus seulement celui des cuisiniers de la restauration collective mais celui de la majorité des cuisiniers en France. Fondée sur des sources et des archives inédites, cette Histoire des cuisiniers en France aux xixe et xxe siècles est celle d’un groupe, d’un métier, d’une profession en quête d’identité et de reconnaissance.

How educated and culturally savvy young people are transforming traditionally low-status manual labor jobs into elite taste-making occupationsIn today's new economy-in which "good" jobs are typically knowledge or technology based-many well-educated and culturally savvy young men are instead choosing to pursue traditionally low-status manual labor occupations as careers. Masters of Craft looks at the renaissance of four such trades: bartending, distilling, barbering, and butchering.In this in-depth and engaging book, Richard Ocejo takes you into the lives and workplaces of these people to examine how they are transforming these once-undesirable jobs into "cool" and highly specialized upscale occupational niches-and in the process complicating our notions about upward and downward mobility through work. He shows how they find meaning in these jobs by enacting a set of "cultural repertoires," which include technical skills based on a renewed sense of craft and craftsmanship and an ability to understand and communicate that knowledge to others, resulting in a new form of elite taste-making. Ocejo describes the paths people take to these jobs, how they learn their chosen trades, how they imbue their work practices with craftsmanship, and how they teach a sense of taste to their consumers.Focusing on cocktail bartenders, craft distillers, upscale men's barbers, and whole-animal butcher shop workers in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and upstate New York, Masters of Craft provides new insights into the stratification of taste, gentrification, and the evolving labor market in today's postindustrial city.

The concept of cross-cultural perspectives in research in food is important in general and particularly so in relation to human perception in food and health. Food concepts are very different across different jurisdictions. Different markets and cultures have varying perspectives on what is considered a palatable, acceptable, or useful food or food product; in simple terms, one size does not at all in the majority of cases. Specific markets thus need targeted food design, to be successful from a myriad of perspectives. In this Special Issue anthology "Food, Health and Safety in Cross-Cultural Consumer Contexts", we bring together articles that show the wide range of studies from fundamental to market applicability currently in focus in sensory and consumer science in food, health, and safety cross-cultural contexts. From the included perspectives, it is abundantly clear that there is a need for much knowledge related to future food design linked to cross-cultural contexts and that this will continue to be critical to the success of food transfer in global food markets.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, one-third of the world’s food produced for human consumption is lost or discarded. Meanwhile, the world needs to create a sustainable food future to feed the more than 9 billion people that are expected to inhabit the planet by 2050. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals represent a global agenda for improving sustainability at a global level, and one of these goals (goal 12) is devoted to ensuring sustainable production and consumption patterns. This Special Issue intends to unify multidisciplinary areas of knowledge, under the sustainability pillar, based on knowledge about one of the most relevant agents for overall environmental impacts: food production and consumption. Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to highlight sustainability assessment in the contexts of agri-food production, food consumption, and food waste reduction to meet the needs of updating knowledge and developing new skills required by multiple social and economic agents. Food waste implies significant economic losses, ethical and social issues, adverse environmental effects, and considerable nutritional consequences, posing a threat to global sustainability. The purpose of this issue is to shine a light on the significance of research and practical initiatives engaged in the United Nations Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, specifically in protecting the planet by promoting sustainability in food production and consumption aiming at informing and influencing policy and practice globally.
