This volume focuses on mining and the challenges for this industry as it transitions and evolves as the demand for products and responsible and sustainable mining ever increases.Mining is a prerequisite for modern society, yet the industry is often criticized for having many negative environmental and social impacts. The volume explores the challenges, controversies and responses that arise when a society is reliant on the products of mining to maintain their standard of living, yet are simultaneously calling for the implementation of sustainable practices, with many communities also being resistant to mining activities taking place in their own location. Many transitions which present a solution to one problem can often lead to new issues and developments elsewhere. For example, the electrification of vehicles will help to mitigate climate change, but this will simultaneously increase the demand for minerals required for batteries. The acceptance of, or resistance to, mining varies from location to location and across different scales, with key factors relating to the social and environmental impacts and the economic benefits. One common tension revolves around whether local communities really benefit economically from mining activities, and even if they do, they could now be negatively impacted by the digitization of the industry which will naturally lead to a reduction in the number of jobs. This volume explains how transitions of these types are inextricably linked by demand, acceptance and the perception of benefits, and that as the industry evolves, more tensions and controversies will develop.This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of mining and the extractive industries, transitions and sustainable development, as well as to professionals working in natural resource management.

Viime vuosien ruokaskandaalit - esimerkiksi hullun lehmän tauti, listeria, dioksiinirehu ja tuotantoeläinten julma kohtelu - ovat paljastaneet globalisoituvan elintarvikejärjestelmän monimutkaisuuden ja haavoittuvuuden. Tehomaataloudelle on alettu etsiä vaihtoehtoja, ja ruokavalintoja tehtäessä on alettu korostaa tuotannon ekologisuutta ja eettisyyttä sekä sosiaalista kestävyyttä. Ruokakysymyksessä tutkitaan vaihtoehtoisen tuotannon ja kulutuksen historiaa ja nykypäivää sekä ruokaan liitettyjä käsitteitä ja merkityksiä. Teos tutustuttaa elintarviketutkimuksen kansainväliseen keskusteluun ja tarjoaa suomalaisia näkökulmia. Se soveltuu oppikirjaksi ja tutkimuksen avuksi yliopistoissa ja ammattikorkeakouluissa tarjoten samalla pohdittavaa kenelle tahansa aiheesta kiinnostuneelle.

Ruoan tuotannolla ja kuluttamisella on valtava vaikutus ympäristöön, yhteiskuntaan ja ihmisten terveyteen. Maailmanlaajuisten kehityskulkujen ohella elintarvikejärjestelmän toimintaa muovaavat erilaiset kriisit, ruoan terveysvaikutukset, tuotannon tehostamisen tarve sekä globalisaation poliittiset, taloudelliset ja sosiaaliset seuraukset. Teoksessa tarkastellaan luomuruokaa, geeniteknistä ruokaa, lähiruokaa, terveysvaikutteisia elintarvikkeita ja kriisiajan ruokahuoltoa Suomessa. Laajempi näkökulma asiaan avautuu tarkasteltaessa globaalia ruokakriisiä ja globaalin elintarvikejärjestelmän ekologisia haasteita. Hyvä ja paha ruoka tarjoaa monipuolisen läpileikkauksen ajankohtaisesta ruokakeskustelusta sekä auttaa lukijoita ymmärtämään ravinnon tuotannon ja kulutuksen yhteiskunnallisia ulottuvuuksia ja ympäristövaikutuksia.
