With its conceptual foundation of the concept of transformation literacy it enhances the knowledge and capacity of decision-makers, change agents and institutional actors to steward transformations effectively across institutions, societal sectors and nations.\u003cbr\u003eHumanity is at crossroads. Resource depletion and exponential emissions that not only cause climate change, but endanger the health of people and planet, call for a decisive turnaround of human civilization. A new and transformative paradigm is emerging that advocates for regenerative civilizations, in which a narrative of systemic health as much as individual and collective vitality guide the interaction of socio-economic-ecological systems. Truly transformative change must go far beyond technical solutions, and instead envision what can be termed ‘a new operating system’ that helps humankind to live well within the planetary boundaries and partner with life’s evolutionary processes. This requires transformations at three different levels:\u003cbr\u003e·  Mindsets that reconnect with a worldview in which human agency acknowledges its co-evolutionary pathways with each other and the Earth.\u003cbr\u003e·  Political, social and economic systems that are regenerative and foster the care-taking for Earth life support systems.\u003cbr\u003e·  Competencies to design and implement effective large-scale transformative change processes at multiple levels with multiple stakeholders.\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides key ingredients for enhancing transformation literacy from various perspectives around the globe.

It gives context to today's concerns as we worry about \"how far to go?\" for particulate matter, ozone, SOx, NOx, VOCs and more.

And with today's rapid rate of globalization, and these hazardous health effects are likely to increase, with low income and underrepresented communities facing even greater risks. In many places around the world, marginalized communities unwillingly serve as hosts of noxious facilities such as chemical industrial plants, extractive facilities (oil and mining) and other destructive land use activities.

The farming systems in these two countries face different risks in terms of climatic shifts and systems’ resiliency to handle the shocks. One may have comparative advantage over the other, but both are susceptible. Innovations in irrigation for food and fuel production, improvements in nitrogen and water use efficiency, and rural sociological issues are discussed here.

This chapter describes different dimensions of sustainability, such as climate impact, chemical load, use of resources, biodiversity, and eutrophication, together with different types of diets and food systems. It also highlights the importance of social and economic sustainability as well as ethical issues, cultural sensitivity, and health as part of sustainability. The main message is that multidisciplinary, intersectoral, and systemic approaches are needed to develop more sustainable food systems that contribute to healthy dietary habits and a healthy planet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eII. \"Who wasted our food?\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eTowards better balance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur current food system is badly out of balance. The current agricultural system is producing enough food to feed the planet, but access to and consumption of it is very uneven. About 212 million children are undernourished, whereas 42 million children and 1.9 billion adults are overweight due to overconsumption of especially energy-rich foods. Moreover, about half of all food that is produced is never eaten but lost during harvest, transport, processing, or storage. This chapter discusses these topics including food security and different innovative ways to reduce food waste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIII. \"Insects, aquaculture, and mycoproteins instead of beef tomorrow?\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eChoosing for healthy and sustainable meals\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis chapter focuses on evaluating both health aspects and sustainability of different food categories, such as meat and dairy, fish, insects, plant-based foods, and fats and oils. Traditional diets, novel approaches, and ultra-processed foods also will be discussed. The main message is that although there are no universally accepted methods to rank individual foods, broad guidelines on healthy and sustainable diets are relatively easy to give. These guidelines to healthy and sustainable diets are briefly described.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIV. \"Are ecological products really healthier and more sustainable?\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eReshaping our food production\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur food systems are responsible for about one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions, more than what results from all transport, sea, land, and air, combined. We need to use our scare resources in more sustainable and efficient ways. Increasing global trade is both a threat and an opportunity.

Moreover, consumer knowledge on healthy and sustainable diets is often limited. There is lack of coherence in politics, and powerful corporate, political, and other interests tend to impede the process. This chapter presents some country examples and discusses barriers and potential approaches to move sustainability and health higher up in the agenda of consumers and decision makers.","brand":"Springer International Publishing AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49417096986967,"sku":"9783319742038","price":42.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783319742038.jpg?v=1730531614"},{"product_id":"umweltbeauftragte-im-krankenhaus-rechtlicher-hintergrund-qualifikation-einbindung-in-die-betriebsorganisation-9783540579762","title":"Umweltbeauftragte im Krankenhaus: Rechtlicher","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUmweltschutz als ein Unternehmensziel gewinnt in Krankenhausern immer mehr an Bedeutung.

(2) According to the mechanisms of dust generation in different mining worksites, targeted dust suppressants were developed. Through optimization by monomer experiment and orthogonal experiment, the optimum formula of different types of dust suppressants was obtained, and its properties were characterized. (3) The dust suppressant field application process was introduced, and the economic benefits were analyzed.
