Understanding Factors that Shape Exposure to Zoonotic and Food-Borne Diseases Across Wild Meat Trade Chains por Vliet, N. van, Muhindo, J., Nyumu, J., Enns, C., Massé, F., Bersaglio, B., Cerutti, P.O., Nasi, R.

“…This article uses ethnographic methods to examine the steps that lead a wild animal from the forest to the plate of an urban consumer in Yangambi and Kisangani in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Focusing on hunters, village-level consumers, transporters, market traders and urban consumers, we highlight specific practices that expose different actors involved in the trade chain to wild meat related health risks, including exposure to food borne illnesses from contaminated meat and zoonotic pathogens through direct contact with wild animals, and the local practices in place to reduce the same. …”

“…Hence, some farmers were “pulled” by the current economic return and market attraction of timber due to the booming market demand, which was seen as one of the reasons for forest loss. These findings also reported the negative impacts of agricultural expansion on biodiversity and the environment, which need alternative agricultural development pathways.…”

Editorial: Wheat biofortification to alleviate global malnutrition por Ibba, Maria Itria, Gupta, Om Prakash, Govindan, Velu, Johnson, Alexander A.T., Brinch-Pedersen, Henrik, Nikolic, Miroslav, Taleon, Victor

“…However, the current level of MNs present in most wheat-derived food products is not enough to meet the minimum daily intake, especially in the poorest regions of the world. For these reasons, continuing to work on wheat biofortification is fundamental to ensure the production of nutritious and sustainable food and to contribute to the reduction of MNs deficiency.…”

Structural transformation of teff markets por Minten, Bart, Stifel, David, Tamru, Seneshaw

“…Since the beginning of the 2000s, important changes have occurred in Ethiopia’s economy.1 In this chapter, the extent to which these changes have affected teff markets are assessed using primary data collected from wholesale markets and secondary data on teff prices and margins, obtained from Ethiopia’s Central Statistical Agency (CSA) and the Ethiopian Grain Trade Enterprise (EGTE). Five possible reasons are considered for teff market transformation and for the changes in teff price margins over the period 2001–2011.2 This study period has been influenced by changes in five factors that may have affected how teff markets function. …”
