- The Green Revolution in Asia from the early 1960s is defined as a process driven by governments in pursuit of self-sufficiency in food grains. The process was market-mediated and smallholder based and can be dated to the early 1960s with the Nobel Prize Laureate, Norman Borlaug’s research on high-yielding dwarf wheat in Mexico and later spread to rice and number of countries in South East and South Asia.

Urban Livestock Keeping : Leveraging for Food and Nutrition Security
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Encyclopedia of Food Security and Sustainability. - : Elsevier. - 9780128126882 ; , s. 322-325

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In spite of the importance of urban livestock keeping in providing the urban populations with livelihoods and nutritious foods, this phenomenon does have both benefits and negative effects. Here we explore the different strengths and weaknesses of urban livestock systems, including the risks for transmission of diseases and contribution to poor sanitation. In addition we look at the opportunities and threats that urban livestock keeping may face in the future, which are often dependent on policies and public attitudes.

Urban Livestock-Keeping : Contributions to Food and Nutrition Security
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Encyclopedia of Food Security and Sustainability. - : Elsevier. - 9780128126882 ; , s. 317-321
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- When more and more people live in cities, there is increased need to produce food close to and within cities. The high value of livestock products and the increasing demand from the growing urban middle classes create a niche for urban livestock keeping, which contribute to the food security and the livelihoods of many different value chain actors. This chapter explores the different kinds of urban livestock keeping in low and middle-income countries and provides a view of the dynamics as well as the importance.
