Book Description
New scientific discoveries, technologies and techniques often find their way into the space and equipment of domestic and professional kitchens. Using approaches based on anthropology, archaeology and history, Cooking Technology reveals the impact these and the associated broader socio-cultural, political and economic changes have on everyday culinary practices, explaining why people transform – or, indeed, refuse to change – their kitchens and food habits. Focusing on Mexico and Latin America, the authors look at poor, rural households as well as the kitchens of the well-to-do and professional chefs. Topics range from state subsidies for traditional ingredients, to the promotion of fusion foods, and the meaning of kitchens and cooking in different localities, as a result of people taking their cooking technologies and ingredients with them to recreate their kitchens abroad. What emerges is an image of Latin American kitchens as places where 'traditional' and 'modern' culinary values are constantly being renegotiated. The thirteen chapters feature case studies of areas in Mexico, the American-Mexican border, Cuba, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. With contributions from an international range of leading experts, Cooking Technology fills an important gap in the literature and provides an excellent introduction to the topic for students and researchers working in food studies, anthropology, history, and Latin American studies.

Book Description
"Ordinarily, success investing in the stock market, for the average person may seem to be well out of reach. Moreover, many people foster the belief that without a cache of disposable funds, a high level of education, extensive training or a God-sent stretch of good luck, a successful venture in investing is just not plausible. However, fortunately, author Victor Chiu's Wall Street Kitchen The Recipe Behind a Housewife's 1000% Stock Return dispels those preconceived notions by presenting proof positive that an average person can foster a successful run in stock market investing, as did his mother. Chiu's mom, a lovable housewife who works from her kitchen table while employing her tried and true recipe for stock investing, afforded her continued success in her stock market ventures. "Although stock market investing is normally a befuddling topic, it becomes lucid lessons in investing with Victor Chiu's heartwarming presentation of his mother's methods. Her methods are practical and simple while her results are stunningly revelatory, which makes this an empowering triumph for the average person - especially women, who may believe that success with stock market investing is out of reach. Furthering its unique appeal, this is a read that brims with humor, with the fun use of recipes as a double entendre theme. Readers while sitting at Mom's table not only get to experience her great family recipes, but also learn her fundamental "recipe" for successful stock market investing. "Each chapter presents a comforting experience wrapped around invaluable investment lessons. Readers are welcomed into Mom's kitchen with a friendly greeting, and an open invitation to try her palate tempting recipes, (which thankfully, are included at the end of the book). "As it turns out, Mom offers a wealth of information. She embodies a common sense approach with an emphasis on taking responsibility for your own success. At her table readers are provided with the necessary and simple strategies for investing. Also, there is a thought provoking examination of the many elements necessary for Mom's success with investing, including premises like; making decisions logically and not emotionally, not following the crowd and staying focused on your goals. Also, examined are the various investment opportunities which she took, such as; penny stocks, banks, and energy companies. Additionally, at the end of each chapter, is a summation of important factors and fun homework assignments, which also help to reinforce pertinent points. "Consequently, I enjoyed the entertaining, inspirational, and illuminating read that Wall Street Kitchen turned out to be. What really works in the book is the uniquely engaging premise of learning investment lessons, which come from a relatable source. After all who doesn't love a friendly Mom? An overall, inspiration to Do-it-Yourselfers, particularly women, this is definitely a book for anyone interested in stock market investing. Readers will be pleasantly surprised at just how easily they are drawn into this narrative which immediately builds a rapport with its readers and keeps them looking forward to the next chapter/visit to Mom's kitchen." A 5-Star Rating, Lisa Brown-Gilbert, Hollywood Book Reviews

Book Description
The digital agriculture revolution holds a promise to build an agriculture and food system that is efficient, environmentally sustainable, and equitable, one that can help deliver the Sustainable Development Goals. Unlike past technological revolutions in agriculture, which began on farms, the current revolution is being sparked at multiple points along the agrifood value chain. The change is driven by the ability to collect, use, and analyze massive amounts of machine-readable data about practically every aspect of the value chain, and by the emergence of digital platforms disrupting existing business models. All this allows for drastically reduced transaction costs and pervasive information asymmetries that plague the agrifood system. The success of the digital transformation, however, is not guaranteed as the risks it brings are numerous, including those related to data governance and inadequate competition within and between digital platforms. What’s Cooking: Digital Transformation of the Agrifood System investigates how digital technologies can accelerate the transformation of the agrifood system by increasing efficiency on the farm; improving farmers’ access to output, input, and financial markets; strengthening quality control and traceability; and improving the design and delivery of agriculture policies. It also identifies a key role for the public sector in maximizing the benefits of this process while minimizing its risks, through enabling an innovation ecosystem featuring open datasets, digital platforms, digital entrepreneurship, digital payment systems, and digital skills and encouraging equitable technology adoption.

Book Description
CULINARY LESSONS - The Space of Food is based on a series of events, Culinary Lessons, which were hosted by the Städelschule Architecture Class and which engaged with the relation between food, art and architecture. The series addressed the enormous so- cial, economic and cultural spaces that accompany the production and consumption of food, and attempted to unravel some of these spaces' structure and dynamics. The central ambition was to learn from culinary history and, not the least, the recent vanguard of culinary practice. No human activity is so encompassing and engenders such ef- fects on our societies and lives as the culinary. Culinary practices lay out aesthetic as much as ethical trajectories that span from century-old traditions to lifesaving experiments for the present and future. They provide for human sustenance and the highest form of bodily enjoyment while transversing the spaces that they at once produce and profoundly affect. This fourth issue of the SAC JOURNAL presents the central con- versation in Culinary Lessons, which took place in Venice, together with a series of texts and projects that chart and speculate on the relationship between architecture, art and the culinary wor- ld. Contributors to this issue include, amongst others, Charlotte Birnbaum, Daniel Birnbaum, Mike Bouchet, Sanford Kwinter, Fabrice Mazliah, Tobias Rehberger, David Ruy, Kivi Sotamaa, Carolyn Steel, Jan Åman and Johan Bettum. It also features the winning projects of the AIV Master Thesis Prize in 2015 and 2016. SAC JOURNAL is a publication series that addresses topical isues within architecture. The journal documents, critically reviews and presents theoretical discussions concerning contemporary design and research. The content of SAC JOURNAL is produced by invited contributors and students and faculty at the Städel- schule Architecture Class.

Book Description
This open access book discusses the current role of smallholders in connection with food security and poverty reduction in developing countries. It addresses the opportunities they enjoy, and the constraints they face, by analysing the availability, access to and utilization of production factors. Due to the relevance of smallholder farms, enhancing their production capacities and economic and social resilience could produce positive impacts on food security and nutrition at a number of levels. In addition to the role of small farmers as food suppliers, the book considers their role as consumers and their level of nutrition security. It investigates the link between agriculture and nutrition in order to better understand how agriculture affects human health and dietary patterns. Given the importance of smallholdings, strategies to increase their productivity are essential to improving food and nutrition security, as well as food diversity.
