Natural Defense: Enlisting Bugs and Germs to Protect Our Food and Health
by Emily MonossonFor more than a century, we have relied on chemical cures to keep our bodies free from disease and our farms free from bugs and weeds. We rarely consider human and agricultural health together, but both are based on the same ecology, and both are being threatened by organisms that have evolved to resist our antibiotics and pesticides. Patients suffer fromC.diff, a painful, potentially lethal gut infection associated with multiple rounds of antibiotics; orange groves rot from insect-borne bacteria; and the blight responsible for the Irish potato famine outmaneuvers fungicides. Our chemicals are failing us.Fortunately, scientists are finding new solutions that work with, rather than against, nature. Emily Monosson explores science's most innovative strategies, from high-tech gene editing to the ancient practice of fecal transplants. There are viruses that infect and bust apart bacteria; vaccines engineered to better provoke our natural defenses; and insect pheromones that throw crop-destroying moths into a misguided sexual frenzy. Some technologies will ultimately fizzle; others may hold the key to abundant food and unprecedented health. Each represents a growing understanding of how to employ ecology for our own protection.Monosson gives readers a peek into the fascinating and hopeful world of natural defenses. Her book is full of optimism, not simply for particular cures, but for a sustainable approach to human welfare that will benefit generations to come.

Natural Food Preservation: Controlling Loss, Advancing Safety
by Slavica VeskovicControlling food spoilage is critical not only to maintaining public health, but also to minimizing food loss, which in turn has broad impacts on the economy and the environment. Consumers today, concerned with both human and ecological health, are adamant that the elimination of risk for foodborne disease need not come at the cost of nutritional quality or ecological considerations. Moreover, a large factor towards the continued threat of foodborne illness is the fact that the responsible bacteria are increasingly resistant to conventional antibiotics. Considering that nature provides abundant antimicrobial compounds, it is salutary to assess the role that these compounds can play in fighting foodborne pathogens. As a result of these demands and considerations, natural antimicrobials are beginning to gain ground over their synthetic counterparts in industrial food safety processes. The success of these antimicrobial agents in individual settings has demonstrated that safe food doesnot have to mean highly processed or less sensorially satisfying food. Natural Preservation: Safety, Losses and Protection will discuss the economic and ecological benefits of a food industry moving away from dependence on synthetic chemicals and preservatives, and illustrate the impact that the extension of shelf life for the minimization of food waste can have on food insecurity across the globe. Readers can expect an overview of safety that considers economic as well as ecological interests, and assesses each stage of the food processing chain for its role in improving the nutritional, physicochemical and sensory values of the product. This includes a discussion of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their secondary metabolic products, bacteriocins, and how their application to fermentation processes can expand the possibilities for natural approaches to food safety, with major implications for global health and ecology. This volume demonstrates the integral role bio-protectors can play in production processes, promoting their potential while also outlining the necessity for appropriate laboratory, industrial and medical evaluations to ensure their efficacy and win their approval by regulatory bodies. The perspectives offered will be valuable to researchers, policymakers and industry professionals with investments in building a more sustainable and more equitable food system.
Natural Gourmet: Delicious Recipes for Healthy, Balanced Eating: A Cookbook
by Annemarie ColbinAnnemarie Colbin learned early of the important relationship between food and health: having grown up in a vegetarian household, she spent many years integrating Eastern eating philosophies with Western habits, studying the works of everyone from J.I.

With The Natural Gourmet, Colbin takes her ideas about healthful eating a step further with meals that nourish body and soul, and that are elegant enough to serve to company.The recipes included in The Natural Gourmet are the result of a collaborative effort by Colbin and ten students from her Natural Gourmet Cookery School in Manhattan.

Natural Prophets: From Health Foods to Whole Foods--How the Pioneers of the Industry Changed the W ay We Eat and Reshaped American Business
by Joe DobrowThe e-book edition includes 46 exclusive photos and expanded content!From a handful of idealistic farmers and local co-ops in the 1960s to the domination of juggernauts like Whole Foods, the wild success of the natural and organic foods industry proves that principled business is not just possible, but profitable. With nearly unfettered double-digit annual growth, the development of this now-$88 billion industry is one of the most remarkable untold stories in American business history. Trailblazers like Mo Siegel of Celestial Seasonings, Gary Hirshberg of Stonyfield Farms, and John Mackey of Whole Foods openly challenged the interests of Big American Agribusiness, transformed food manufacturing and retailing, and re-wrote the playbook for small entrepreneurs.Dobrow, a 20-year veteran of the natural foods industry who had a front row seat (and backstage pass) to much of the upheaval and expansion he describes, characterizes the radical vision of these "natural prophets" as one part anti-industrial activism, one part bold opportunism, and one part new-era marketing genius. The triple bottom line—people, planet, profit—emerged as a major new lodestone for successful, values-based business practices.Natural Prophets is a fascinating narrative account of these upstart Davids—their failures and their unprecedented successes—that distills lessons about management, marketing, and entrepreneurial growth, and offers a lively, urgent profile of an industry that continues to change the way we eat, the way we live, and the way we think about ourselves.

Natural Resource-Based Conflicts in Rural Zimbabwe (Routledge Studies in Peace, Conflict and Security in Africa)
by Kirk Helliker Patience Chadambuka Joshua MatanzimaThis book investigates the range of conflicts over land and other natural resources in contemporary Zimbabwe, considering the different forms these conflicts take, and the ensuing outcomes.Zimbabwe is a country rich in natural resources, including land, wildlife, minerals, and water resources. These resources are integral to the formal and informal livelihoods of most Zimbabweans, as well as supporting many key industries. Wildlife, land, and water resources are also embedded in indigenous knowledge systems, religious beliefs, and rituals in many rural communities, forming an important part of people’s identity and sense of belonging. However, this book demonstrates the ways in which rural communities are being denied access to these resources and being displaced by extractive companies and the government. Their response is often to turn to violence to try to reclaim their lands. Drawing on original empirical research from different conflicts across Zimbabwe, the book also considers the issue in the context of problems such as climate change, human-wildlife conflicts, and politico-economic crises.This book will be useful to policy makers, students, conservationists, and academics across the fields of sociology, human geography, development, political science, and environment studies.
