An Upland Community in Transition Institutional Innovations for Sustainable Development in Rural Philippines


Free Download Agnes C. Rola, "An Upland Community in Transition: Institutional Innovations for Sustainable Development in Rural Philippines"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 9814345148, 9814345156 | PDF | pages: 260 | 8.1 mb
All over Southeast Asia, rural communities are in transition to a sustainable status. This book explores how an environmentally fragile upland community in the rural Philippines coped with and responded to economic and environmental tensions brought about by a globalised economy and decentralisation. This in turn gave rise to local power especially in the management of natural resources. Time-series farm and household-level data of the study community characterised upland development in the Philippines during the turn of the twenty-first century. Farmer stories on how land-use decisions were affected by economic policies and environmental stresses were told and documented. As the tension between the economy and the environment exhibit both predicted and unforeseen changes, this book suggests institutional innovations, promoting a greater understanding of sustainable rural development in the developing world.

Sourdough Innovations


Free Download Sourdough Innovations: Novel Uses of Metabolites, Enzymes, and Microbiota from Sourdough Processing
English | 2024 | ISBN: 0367674971 | 465 Pages | PDF (True) | 21 MB
Sourdough fermentation was probably one of the first microbial processes employed by mankind for the production and preservation of food. This practice is still widely used worldwide due to the distinct sensorial and health properties attributed to these products. Traditional sourdough bread is achieved by spontaneous fermentations, leading to natural selections of microorganisms (mainly yeast and lactic acid bacteria) with health benefits for the consumers’ microbiota. However, multiple opportunities are currently underexploited through the entire sourdough value chain. Sourdough Innovations: Novel Uses of Metabolites, Enzymes, and Microbiota from Sourdough Processing summarizes the latest scientific knowledge and current opportunities of sourdough technology at biomass, microbiota and enzymatic levels described in three distinctive sections.
