The effects of climate change on food production and security are many and varied and represent one of the biggest challenges facing humanity today. As the human population increases there is increasing pressure on land availability and water resources. In many staple crops, warming temperatures have caused decreases in overall yields but at the same time the demand for cheaper and more sustainable food has increased. This edited volume examines the effects of climate change on all aspects of food production and how this is affecting food security in many parts of the world. The book presents a series of chapters which describe new technologies aimed at mitigating these effects via, for example, genetic modification, microbial science, and the introduction of new crops. · Information is presented in a very accessible and logical format. · The book focuses on sustainable food security and safety, illustrated with case studies. · The chapters cover the latest thinking on food security via sustainable livestock and agricultural production. · The book describes the social issues related to food safety, regulatory frameworks, and policies in the light of climate change.

This textbook introduces the clinical applications of biomolecules in disease diagnosis, covering a range of topics in biochemistry. The book discusses carbohydrate and protein metabolism abnormalities, lipid digestion and absorption defects, disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism, and the chemistry and biological roles of water- and fat-soluble vitamins. It also covers the roles of different macroelements and essential trace elements in physiological processes and the prevention of chronic diseases. The final chapter focuses on recent developments in our understanding of the role of enzymes in disease development and diagnosis. The book chapter also explores the causes and effects of free radicals in the body, including oxidative stress and diseases such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Finally, the chapter discusses cancer development, causes, diagnosis methods, biomarkers, and current treatments such as targeted drug therapy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. This book is a useful resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and practitioners in biochemistry, medicine, and health sciences.
