Los cambios sociales y tecnológicos que se están produciendo en los últimos años, influyen en las relaciones interpersonales, especialmente en las edades más tempranas y en la adolescencia. Como resultado de la presencia actual y predominante de los dispositivos móviles (ya sean teléfonos, tablets o pantallas, entre otros medios digitales) en la sociedad moderna, los docentes y las familias deben comenzar a dialogar sobre el uso adecuado de los mismos, así como de los valores éticos y ciudadanos que se proyectan hacia los niños y jóvenes. Porque la adquisición de dispositivos móviles, en las escuelas y en el hogar, presupone una aceptación tácita de los riesgos que ello puede generar.
This volume, by graduate researchers working in urban agriculture, examines concrete strategies to integrate city farming into the urban landscape. Drawing on original field work in cities across the rapidly urbanizing global south, the book examines the contribution of urban agriculture and city farming to livelihoods and food security. Case studies cover food production diversification for robust and secure food provision; the socio-economic and agronomic aspects of urban composting; urban agriculture as a viable livelihood strategy; strategies for integrating city farming into urban landscapes; and the complex social-ecological networks of urban agriculture. Other case studies look at public health aspects including the impact of pesticides, micro-biological risks, pollution and water contamination on food production and people. Ultimately the book calls on city farmers, politicians, environmentalists and regulatory bodies to work together to improve the long term sustainability of urban farming as a major, secure source of food and employment for urban populations.

This book presents the latest developments concerning techniques, tools, and methodologies in supply chain ecosystems. It gathers contributions from a variety of experts, who analyze a range of case studies and industrial sectors such as manufacturing, energy, agricultural, healthcare, humanitarian logistics, and urban goods distribution, to name but a few. The book is chiefly intended to meet the needs of two sectors: firstly, the academic sector, so as to familiarize students, professors, and researchers with the tools that are now being used to optimize supply chains; and secondly, the industrial and managerial sector, so that supply chain management practitioners can benefit from methods and tools that are yielding valuable results in other contexts.
