Like every new technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) offers opportunities for progress and application for beneficial purposes while at the same time it introduces or increases risks and threats. There are many aspects to be considered when talking about IoT.
Sustainable food production has taken centre stage across the globe in intellectual, technical andpolicy discussions in recent decades. This is borne out of a series of issues confronting the efficiencyof food production and its delivery, as well as climate change. The need to produce more food hasbeen driven by the rapidly growing world population
Contraception was the subject of intense controversy in twentieth-century Ireland.

The Twin Transition concept is born of the belief that we need to bring digitization and sustainability agendas together, unlocking the potential of IT and data products to achieve our sustainability goals (Greening by IT) and for sustainable thinking to green our technology and data assets and infrastructures (Greening of IT)
Sampling and analysis occur along the milk processing train: from collection at farm level, to intake at the diary plant, the processing steps, and the end products. Milk has a short shelf life; however, products such as milk powders have allowed a global industry to be developed.
Food Processing and Preservation describes the latest research and knowledge about food processing and preservation technologies. Food processing and preservation is a major concern for consumers and thus have attracted much attention
Food processing helps transform raw ingredients into food products with minimal undesired microorganisms, improving storage and stability and making food more suitable for human consumption. Food processing includes physical, chemical, and thermal processes or a combination of these that can affect the physical properties and chemical composition of food while retaining its quality for ease and…
This book takes as its starting point recent debates over the dematerialisation of subject matter which have arisen because of changes in information technology, molecular biology, and related fields that produced a subject matter with no obvious material form or trace. Arguing against the idea that dematerialisation is a uniquely twenty-first century problem, this book looks at three situation…
A functional food product is a product that is supposed to have a supplementary function achieved by the addition of one or more new ingredients, with beneficial effects on people’s health.
