South Asia has the highest rates of malnutrition and the largest number of malnourished women and children in the world. Childhood malnutrition is the main cause of child mortality-one-third of all child deaths are due to the underlying cause of malnutrition. For the children who survive, malnutrition results in lifelong problems by severely reducing a child's ability to learn and to grow to his or her full potential. Malnutrition directly leads to less productive adults and thus to weaker national economic performance. The negative impact of malnutrition on a society's productivity and a national

The book deals with a topic of perennial interest to Chinese and non-Chinese alike: Chinese food. Chinese culture is exceptionally food-oriented, and non-Chinese are curious about what Chinese people in China actually eat, as contrasted with meals in ever-popular Chinese restaurants.

De la découverte des produits du Nouveau Monde à la naissance du restaurant, l'alimentation en Europe connaît de profondes transformations entre le XVIe et le XIXe siècle. C'est pendant cette période que la culture alimentaire européenne, c'est-à-dire l'ensemble des valeurs et des pratiques liées à l'alimentation et partagées par une large partie de la population, change grâce à l'essor de la circulation des produits et des modes, aux progrès de l'agriculture, à la libération de la gourmandise et aux nouveaux besoins de consommation. Cet ouvrage s'intéresse donc à une histoire en mouvement, où l'échange joue un rôle fondamental dans la construction et la diversification de la culture alimentaire à partir du XVIe siècle. En adoptant une perspective européenne et en mobilisant une historiographie variée, il propose une large synthèse sur l'alimentation à l'époque moderne et ouvre de nouvelles perspectives. Entre consommations et imaginaire, ce parcours historique à travers la diversité du boire et du manger permet de mieux comprendre, en s'intéressant à ses racines, l'alimentation d'aujourd'hui.

Persistent malnutrition is contributing not only to widespread failure to meet the first MDG-to halve poverty and hunger-but to meet other goals in maternal and child health, HIV/AIDS, education, and gender equity. The choice is now between continuing to fail, or to finally make nutrition central to development. Underweight prevalence among children is the key indicator for measuring progress on non-income poverty and malnutrition remains the world's most serious health problem and the single biggest contributor to child mortality. Nearly a third of children in the developing world are either

What has been the impact of yet another food price spike on developing countries' ability to make progress toward the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)? How many poor people have been prevented from lifting themselves out of poverty? How many people, and how many children, have seen their personal growth and development permanently harmed because their families could not afford to buy food? Finally, what can countries do to respond to higher and more volatile food prices? Global Monitoring Report 2012: Food Prices, Nutrition, and the Millennium Development Goals examines these questions. It

Appliances and other electrical equipment increasingly draw power when they are switched off or not performing their primary function. This "standby power" provides remote control capability, network sensing, digital display and other features. Often, standby power is consumed simply because power supplies remain "on" while their appliances are switched "off". Standby power consumption is about 10 per cent of OECD residential energy use or the equivalent of a 60-watt light bulb operating continuously in each OECD household. Standby power consumption can be reduced by an average of 75 per cent with cost-effective design changes and technological improvements. Savings as high as 90 per cent can be achieved in many appliances without any reduction in services. Some products have already achieved very low standby power consumption at little or no cost. But standby power consumption is normally not high enough to command consumer attention. International collaboration is essential to reduce standby power consumption, since so many products and components are traded internationally. Consistent approaches, such as test procedures, standards and voluntary efforts, could also benefit manufacturers by reducing costs and barriers to trade. This book lays out the problem posed by growing standby power consumption, explores fully the technologies available to reduce it, and outlines how increased collaboration among industry, national governments and international organisations can help.
