Making Food in Local and Global Contexts
This book is a collection of research focusing on the anthropological aspects of how food is made in modern society from both global and local perspectives. Modern food consumed in any society is created in a variety of natural and cultural environments. There is a "food democracy" in which how we procure and share food can be an indicator of our participation in society, while food nurtured in particular climates and land can be transmitted to the outside world owing to the influence of tourism and the global economy, a phenomenon that is recognized on a global scale as exemplified by the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. In other words, food is an aspect of both culture and civilization. Anthropological approaches are used to reveal the humanistic aspects of food, highlighting the strength and individuality of regional and ethnic foods in global civilizations. The book is a compilation of results from sessions of the international symposium “Making Food in Human and Natural History”, which took place on March 18 and 19, 2019, in Osaka, Japan.
Classification and Quantification of Landscape Features in Agricultural Land Across the EU
Agricultural landscape features are small fragments of natural or semi-natural vegetation in agricultural land which, compared to their relatively small size, provide important contributions to ecosystem services and biodiversity. They have long-standing historical and cultural roots in the agricultural landscapes of Europe, but with the advent of intensive agriculture, landscape features became threatened. Nevertheless, landscape features can have a major role in making European agriculture more resilient to the key environmental challenges of the 21st century, including climate change and biodiversity decline. One of the critical difficulties for protecting, restoring, or monitoring landsc...
Megatrends in Global Interaction
We inhabit an increasingly interconnected world, yet too often policymakers and advisors view each issue in a vacuum, focusing primarily on short-term impacts. All of us - policymakers, citizens, and local and global communities - must begin to consider how the major trends that shape our world are likely to develop, and how they will intersect and influence one another. This volume is designed to explore and discuss correlations between these global trends, or megatrends: Global Governance, Demographic Change and Migration, Energy and Natural Resources, Global Security, Biodiversity, and Economic Globalization. The book's primary focus is to provide a qualitative overview of the trends, and to analyze their intersections and interdependencies in the 21st century. The authors hope it will help define some of the complex challenges and exciting opportunities to shaping a world of sustainable economies and societies.
Interdisciplinary Aspects of Climate Change
Climate change is a matter of great interest and worldwide concern. The latest evidences from scientific studies and official documents produced by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) show that the challenges posed by climate change need to be taken seriously if they are ever to be tackled properly. It is widely acknowledged that information, communication and education on climate change are important tools in the search for solutions to the social, economic or political problems climate changes poses. But despite the fact that much has been written about climate change, most works to date tend to focus on specific issues (e.g. climate modeling, forecasts) as opposed to addressi...
The Routledge Handbook on Ecosocialism
Building on the classical works that have propelled and shaped ecosocialist thinking and action and more recent political developments on the ground, the volume will provide a reference point for international work in the field, both directly political and academic. The Handbook acquaints readers with the varied roots of and sometimes conflicting approaches to ecosocialism. It does not attempt any unification of ecosocialist currents. Rather, it aims to provide a resource that is as comprehensive as possible with respect not only to theorization and ideological framing, but also and especially to existing projects, practices, and movements and giving a sense of the geographical reach that ec...
Priročnik za identifikacijo, ocenjevanje in kartiranje ekosistemskih storitev
Priročnik za identifikacijo, ocenjevanje in kartiranje ekosistemskih storitev, ki je nastal v okviru projekta NatGuidES, opredeljuje praktične korake za implementacijo koncepta ekosistemskih storitev v zavarovanih območjih. Njegov namen je podpreti upravljavce pri upravljanju zavarovanih območij s pomočjo protokola za identifikacijo, ocenjevanje in kartiranje ekosistemskih storitev. Definira 6 delovnih korakov: določitev območja in nabora ekosistemov, določitev deležnikov, identifikacijo in razvrščanje ekosistemskih storitev, izbor kazalnikov in metod ocenjevanja, ocenjevanje in kartiranje ekosistemskih storitev ter interpretacijo kart in usmeritve za upravljanje. Končni rezultat protokola so ocene ekosistemskih storitev in karte (prostorski prikazi) ekosistemskih storitev, s katerimi kvantificiramo in vizualiziramo prostorsko razpoložljivost ekosistemskih storitev. Vsak korak, v okviru katerega so podani pričakovani rezultati, teoretična izhodišča ter glavni izzivi, je ponazorjen s konkretnimi primeri iz Krajinskega parka Logarska dolina.
