Vitale K. (Ed.) Environmental and Food Safety and Security for South-East Europe and Ukraine

Springer Science+Business Media B.V., 2012. — 277 p. — (NATO Science for Peace and Security Series - C: Environmental Security).ISBN: 978-94-007-2952-0.Food and drinking water represent fundamental human needs and access to them constitutes a basic human right. Safe and secure food and drinking water supply became the priority and challenge of modern society as well as important issues determining global and regional security and stability.
The workshop relates to these problems with a novel approach, emphasizing the intimate interrelationship between the food safety/security and the state of the environment.
Observation of the food safety/security and preservation of the environment are strategic issues for every country, as reduced access to the clean environment and associated with that scarcity and poor quality of food and water, causing adverse health effects, could create sense of insecurity among population, political and social tension and, in extreme cases, violence or even war.
Although the above conditions indicate the global trends, the problems with environmental and food safety and security are most vividly manifested in condensed form in South-East Europe and Ukraine. Having one of the best climates in the world suitable for diversifi ed agriculture (including subtropical zones in Crimea, Adriatic and Mediterranean) and agriculturally-minded population, South-East Europe and Ukraine could signifi cantly contribute into the wellness of global population.Hami Alpas and Taylan Kiymaz Defending the Safety of the Global Food System: Advances in Food Security and Safety.
