Over the last two years, Worldwatch's Nourishing the Planet team has travelled to 25 sub-Saharan African nations - the places where hunger is greatest - and uncovered a treasure trove of innovations from farmers groups, private voluntary organizations, universities, and even agribusiness companies. These innovations offer global benefits - from the continent's role in preventing disastrous climate change to the way urban farmers are feeding people in cities and why even determined locavores are sustained by the crop diversity preserved by farmers thousands of miles away. This book assesses the state of agricultural innovations from cropping methods to irrigation technology to agricultural policy with an emphasis on sustainability, diversity, and ecosystem health in the hope of guiding governments, foundations, and concerned citizens in their efforts to eradicate hunger and poverty. Published annually in 28 languages, State of the World is long established as the most authoritative and accessible annual guide to our progress towards a sustainable future. It is relied upon by national governments, UN agencies, development workers and law-makers for its up-to-the-minute analysis and information.

Shine Brighter, Every Day is a way of thinking, a mindset. It is not a diet. Danah Mor has created an easy-to-follow, no-nonsense guide that combines scientific and holistic advice to allow you to become your own food doctor, creating an achievable, sustainable plan that is completely personal to you. Our relationship with food is changing. Fad diets and "clean" eating is out and people have abandoned the search for a quick fix in favour of a heightened understanding of the importance of balance, both in their diets and their lives as a whole. In this book, qualified nutritionist and Ayurvedic practitioner, Danah Mor, gives readers all the information they need to adopt a positive, pragmatic mindset that banishes guilt and reframes their relationship with food in a sustainable and realistic way. Readers are introduced to a new perspective on food that helps them understand why they are attracted to certain foods. It shows them how non-physical nourishment is more powerful and important than physical food. Readers are given a chance to reconstruct new relationships with food, where their search and need for certain foods will naturally change and evolve into better choices over time.

The book is structured into thirteen chapters, each one aimed at increasing your understanding of a specific aspect of health and wellbeing. As a whole, the book will allow you to recognise and plug the holes in your own knowledge and become your own boss and food doctor, ultimately equipping you with tools to fix your relationship with food and live a healthier and happier life.

Welcome to the first Instant Pot(R) cookbook to feature kosher food. Paula Shoyer has expertly developed a robust array of both traditional and contemporary kosher recipes for the king of all kitchen appliances: the Instant Pot(R)! Jewish food and the Instant Pot(R) are a natural fit. So many traditional Jewish dishes are soups and stews--prepared before Friday night and kept warm throughout Shabbat, when observant Jews aren't allowed to cook--and that's the sweet spot of the Instant Pot(R). For decades, Jewish families have relied on slow cookers to achieve the soft, flavor-filled stews of their ancestors, but they lamented the time required. Now, the Instant Pot(R) allows for vastly shorter cooking times without compromising flavor or texture. The Instant Pot (R) Kosher Cookbook includes timeless Jewish favorites tailored to this modern appliance: stuffed cabbage, Israeli cooked salads, corned beef, brisket, cholent, Yemenite and Persian beef and lamb stews, chicken soup, beet soup, kasha varnishkes, tzimmis, even apple cake. There are weeknight meals as well as recipes for Shabbat, Rosh Hashanah, and Passover, along with kosher versions of international classics such as lasagna, sesame noodles, arroz con pollo, Asian noodle soups, and risotto--all expertly and deliciously adapted to the Instant Pot(R).
