Biochar-Based Cement and Concrete for Sustainable Construction provides a thorough overview of the use of biochar in cementitious materials. This innovative approach has shown significant potential for carbon sequestration and enhancing concrete strength through improved hydration and integration into the hardened matrix. The book serves as a crucial resource, offering current insights and practical applications for eco-efficient construction materials. Furthermore, the volume stimulates research into future developments, relevant to interdisciplinary audiences in both academia and industry. It includes up-to-date guidance on manufacturing, environmental considerations, and practical application examples.

Biochar-Based Cement and Concrete for Sustainable Construction

A radical reframing of the current global food system to address injustices and existential threatsThe global food system stands at a critical juncture. Food production is among the largest causes of global environmental change and accelerating climate change. The resulting loss of biodiversity and the harmful effects on water and land use have put human life at risk. To date, proposed solutions have downplayed the stakes and ignored the complex social justice and ecological dimensions of these challenges.Feeding the Future offers a radical reframing of how humanity can address the harmful effects and injustices of the current global food system. Rather than pursuing an impossible transformation of the entire system, Nicole Negowetti reveals how communities worldwide are transcending it through innovative, place-based solutions. Through vivid storytelling and rigorous analysis, she challenges conventional approaches to solving food system problems that are being advanced by agribusiness, the food industry, policymakers, and many nongovernmental organizations. She shares the stories of visionary changemakers and communities around the world that are applying innovative, unique strategies to bring depleted agricultural lands back to life, revitalize urban neighborhoods, establish new economic models, and create thriving regional food systems.For policymakers, activists, scholars, and anyone concerned about the connections between food systems, people's health, and the planet's fate, Feeding the Future offers practical pathways forward. By showing how local communities are already building successful alternatives to industrial agriculture, Negowetti offers a compelling blueprint for transforming the existing global food system.

Several initiatives of US producers have defined agricultural sustainability based upon impacts on the supply network, from extraction to disposal - also called outcomes metrics. This book clarifies and describes the process of integrating metrics into indices for decision-making, with examples from the US, Europe, and Asia.

The New Science of Food and How it Can Save Us

We Are What We Eat

With the current administration pausing funding for agricultural projects and farming support, the issues discussed in this book are more urgent and relevant than ever before. The system of agriculture needs to be reimagined. This book is the best place to begin.&nbsp; There’s no denying it: we treat our planet like dirt. Humanity’s impact has become a geologic force changing the climate and threatening oceans, glaciers, and the lands that feed us.&nbsp;&nbsp;Living in rural Indiana, author Kelsey Timmerman witnesses first-hand the damage modern industrial agriculture has done to our land and our communities. He’s afraid to let his kids swim in the nearby pond filled with farm runoff. There are times, after manure from giant chicken factories has been spread on the surrounding fields, that it’s hard to breathe. The industrialization of agriculture has disconnected farmers from the fields, neighbors from neighbors, and communities of eaters from the harsh realities of how their food is produced. &nbsp;&nbsp;Timmerman recognizes that farming – the occupation of his family heritage -- is the source of these and other problems. But he also suspects it doesn’t have to be that way. In Regenerating Earth, Timmerman travels across the United States and around the world to meet farmers and activists who employ practices and philosophies that acknowledge the human role in complicated agricultural systems. Over and over again he finds farmers who see agriculture as not the problem but the solution, one that builds soil, promotes ecological diversity, provides people with meaningful lives and livelihoods, and sequesters carbon—maybe even enough to combat climate change.&nbsp;Timmerman takes readers along on his global adventure – standing barefoot in a traditional Hawaiian kalo patch, into the Amazon, and down forgotten rivers. He protects a herd of cattle from lions alongside the Maasai warriors of Kenya, sees firsthand how chocolate could save the rainforest in Brazil, and meets American farmers who’ve rejected the agrochemical industry for an approach inspired by that of ancient and Indigenous peoples. &nbsp;&nbsp;By weaving the local with the global, Timmerman shows readers how the way they live, their eating habits and relationship with nature connect to issues of environmental and social justice. And how this newfound awareness can add meaning and purpose to our lives.&nbsp; Our hunger, and the agriculture required to satiate it, can be a gift that connects us to chloroplasts, lions, mycorrhizal fungi, and our fellow humans around the block and the world, if we accept our responsibility to play an active part in a regenerative future.
