Noch nie sind Menschen und Waren so weit und so häufig gereist wie heute. Trotzdem spielte die Wanderung in der gesamten Geschichte der Menschheit eine große Rolle. So brachten die Bandkeramiker nicht nur die wichtigen Kulturpflanzen Weizen, Gerste, Linsen, Erbsen, Lein aus der Levante und Anatolien nach Mitteleuropa, sondern auch die Getreideroste Mehltau, Kornkäfer und Hausmaus.Ein paar Jahrtausende später kamen aus dem Osten Hirse und Hanf, Roggen und Hafer und um die Zeitenwende brachten die Römer zahlreiche neue Kulturpflanzen und Vorratsschädlinge nach Deutschland und England. Kolumbus und seine Nachfolger importierten Mais, Tomaten, Kürbis, Bohnen aus Mexiko und Kartoffeln von den Anden nach Europa und die dazu gehörigen Schädlinge kamen früher oder später nach.Der Kolonialismus wirbelte vor allem tropische Pflanzen durcheinander und heute baut Südamerika Kaffee, der ursprünglich aus Äthiopien kam, für die ganze Welt an. Seit der modernen Globalisierung cruisen ständig riesige Containerschiffe und Flugzeuge um die ganze Welt und bringen Passagiere und Fracht, aber auch Pathogene und Parasiten in die entlegensten Winkel dieser Erde.Dieses Buch zeigt die Auswirkungen weltweiter Migration von Pflanzen und die Krankheitsprobleme, die damit verbunden sind. Durch DNS-Untersuchungen können wir heute eindeutig die Herkunft von Schadpilzen und Schädlingen feststellen und erstmals ihre globale Dynamik verstehen. Gerade merken wir, dass Kulturpflanzen, Klimawandel und Krankheiten mehr miteinander zu tun haben als uns lieb ist und die Verbreitung von Krankheiten immer weiter geht. Dies bedroht auch unsere Ernten und lässt Lebensmittel teurer werden.Der AutorProf. Dr. Thomas Miedaner
 hat Agrarbiologie in Stuttgart-Hohenheim studiert und am damaligen Institut für Resistenzgenetik der Biologischen Bundesanstalt in Grünbach&nbsp; promoviert. Er arbeitet heute an der Landessaatzuchtanstalt der Universität Hohenheim und forscht über Resistenzgenetik, Diversität von Pathogenpopulationen und Genombasierte Pflanzenzüchtung.&nbsp;

This volume, Climate Change and Children's Rights in Zimbabwe: Toward Social Policy-Based Interventions, provides a comprehensive examination of the intersection between climate change and children's rights in Zimbabwe, one of the world's most climate-vulnerable nations. It brings together diverse perspectives from sociology, law, development studies, anthropology, economics, and environmental sciences to challenge conventional approaches that treat children as passive victims of climate impacts. The book interrogates climate vulnerability through multiple dimensions, from legal frameworks and theoretical foundations to sectoral impacts and innovative adaptation strategies, showcasing transformative pathways for child-centred climate action that recognises children as rights-holders and active agents of change.\
The book outlines critical aspects and issues that must be understood and addressed to protect and advance children's rights in the face of accelerating environmental change. Attention is given to both persistent structural inequalities and innovative opportunities for building resilience through rights-based, gender-transformative, and community-grounded approaches. Through case studies spanning diverse districts, including Lupane, Bikita, Mbire, Chivi, Mashonaland Central, Gutu, Goromonzi, Zvimba, and others, it highlights how climate impacts manifest differently across Zimbabwe's varied ecological and socio-economic landscapes, affecting children's health, education, nutrition, protection, and overall well-being. It provides foundational perspectives into climate justice imperatives, multispecies justice frameworks, legal and policy gaps, and opportunities for transformative social policy that centres children's agency and Indigenous knowledge systems. The book is of interest to researchers, climate justice scholars, child rights advocates, development practitioners, humanitarian organisations, and policymakers committed to implementing more effective, equitable, and contextually appropriate climate responses that place children's rights at the centre of all climate action across Zimbabwe and the broader African continent.

How Coca-Cola makes Americans sick—and makes sure we don’t know it. If we knew that Coca-Cola was among the deadliest products in our diet, would we continue drinking it in such great quantities? The Coca-Cola Company has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure we don’t find out, as this damning exposé makes patently clear. Marshaling the findings of extensive research and deep investigative reporting, Murray Carpenter describes in Sweet and Deadly the damage Coke does to America’s health—and the remarkable campaign of disinformation conducted by the company to keep consumers in the dark.

New York Times Readers’ Pick: Top 100 Books of the 21st CenturyThe tenth anniversary edition of the internationally bestselling phenomenon that cemented Yuval Noah Harari as one of the most prominent historians of our time—featuring a new afterword from the author.One hundred thousand years ago, at least six human species inhabited the earth. Today there is just one. Us. Homo sapiens. How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations, and human rights; to trust money, books, and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables, and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come?In Sapiens, Professor Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical—and sometimes devastating—breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural, and Scientific Revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, paleontology, and economics, and incorporating full-color illustrations throughout the text, he explores the origin of our species and how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Can we ever free our behavior from the legacy of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come?Bold, wide-ranging, and provocative, this work of big history integrates history and science to challenge everything we thought we knew about human evolution: our thoughts, our actions, our heritage…and our future.This tenth anniversary edition is an invitation to explore the story of us: a brief history of humankind that challenges everything we thought we knew about being human.<ul><li>The Three Great Revolutions: Discover how the Cognitive, Agricultural, and Scientific Revolutions shaped not just our societies and empires, but our very biology and psychology.</li><li>The Power of Shared Myths: Understand how Homo sapiens used its unique ability to believe in collective fictions—like gods, nations, money, and human rights—to cooperate by the millions and build civilizations.</li><li>An Animal of No Significance: Trace our journey from an unremarkable ape to the masters of the planet, and ask the question: Did we become happier along the way?</li><li>The Future of Sapiens: Look ahead to the radical new frontiers of the twenty-first century as we use biotechnology and artificial intelligence to upgrade ourselves into something entirely new.</li></ul>

A Brief History of Humankind

Sapiens [Tenth Anniversary Edition]

A groundbreaking piece of reportage concerning our vulnerable food system—and how we will eat in the near future.

The Race to Fix Our Food System and Save Our Climate

We Are Eating the Earth

This book delves into the complex interplay between temperature regimes and rural landscapes, with a focused exploration of a small-scale river basin. It highlights the significance of microclimatic variations in rural areas, which are often overshadowed by urban heat studies.The book meticulously examines the factors contributing to temperature fluctuations in these landscapes, including land use patterns, water bodies, and vegetative cover, providing a wide-ranging understanding of how these elements interact within the broader climate system. It also addresses the challenges faced in monitoring and managing these temperature variations, particularly in the context of climate change. The book integrates field studies with advanced modeling techniques to offer insights into the impacts of temperature changes on agriculture, water resources, and rural livelihoods. The analysis extends to exploring adaptation strategies that can help mitigate adverse effects that ensure sustainable development in rural regions.This book is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals in environmental science, geography, agriculture, and rural development. It will also be invaluable to policymakers and planners looking to understand and address the unique climatic challenges faced by rural landscapes in a changing climate.

Winner of the Forward Prize for Best Collection Winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize Winner of the Governor General's Literary Award for Poetry An Observer, Telegraph, TLS, Guardian, Scotsman, New Statesman, Financial Times and Irish Times Book of the Year Shortlisted for the PEN Heaney Prize Wellwater demonstrates a poet writing at the height of her powers. In poems that are supple, philosophical, bracingly honest and ribbed with erudition, Wellwater conducts a self-interrogative conversation with a culture in crisis and a natural world on the brink. Thresholds abound, 'doors between dimensions' where past selves or lost loved ones speak to us again: 'death is not Saskatchewan' shrugs one encountered soul, 'we don't all know each other in this place'. Solie excels as a laureate of the transitory, of 'baffling flats . . . tiny museums of illegalities', motel rooms exuding a 'low hum of menace'. Her roving, syntactically elegant poems will often resolve in disarming directness, a precise admission of the emotional stakes. Karen Solie is increasingly recognised as one of the essential voices in world poetry. Wellwater will delight those already in the know, while new readers of her work will be astonished. 'Solie is an essential writer . . . anyone remotely interested in 21st-century literature, or 21st-century life, should read her' - Tristram Fane Saunders, Telegraph 'Powerful, philosophical, intelligent . . . [Solie is] adept at pulling great wisdom from the ordinary' - Griffin Prize judges Anne Carson, Kathleen Jamie and Carl Phillips 'A work of political profundity and linguistic dexterity that constantly surprises.' - Susannah Dickey, PEN Heaney Prize-winning author of ISDAL and Tennis Lessons'Karen Solie should be read wherever English is spoken' - Michael Hofmann, LRB 'Half-expertise and half-magic . . . Wellwater is a terrifying book - and a masterly one. Solie is as good as poetry gets' - Declan Ryan, Telegraph

The global agri-food system faces critical challenges from climate change, evolving consumer demands, sustainability needs, and economic uncertainties. This book gathers diverse studies addressing food security, supply chain resilience, sustainable business models, and environmental sustainability to guide long-term viability. Key themes include the influence of sustainable consumption on EU supply chains, the Scottish pig industry's collaborative response to shocks like Brexit and COVID-19, and how wine tourism supports local economies and sustainable rural development. Water resource management in African watersheds and the application of the Triple Bottom Line in Spain’s fresh produce sector highlight regional and business sustainability strategies. Additionally, the book examines small-scale dairy farms in Hungary, focusing on food safety and consumer trust. Collectively, these chapters emphasize the need for innovation, collaboration, and evidence-based policies to tackle climate change and food insecurity.The insights offer valuable direction for policymakers, industry professionals, and researchers aiming to develop resilient, equitable, and sustainable agri-food systems in an increasingly uncertain global landscape.
