    Ultra-processed foods, diet quality and human health 2019

    The significance of industrial processing for the nature of food and the state of human health - and in particular the techniques and ingredients developed by modern food science and technology - is generally underestimated. This is evident in both national and international policies and strategies designed to improve populations' nutrition and health. Until recently it has also been neglected in epidemiological and experimental studies concerning diet, nutrition and health. This report seeks to assess the impact of ultra-processed food on diet quality and health, based on NOVA, a food classification system developed by researchers at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

    Livestock's long shadow
    environmental issues and options
    2006
    Also available in:
    This report aims to assess the full impact of the livestock sector on environmental problems, along with potential technical and policy approaches to mitigation. The assessment is based on the most recent and complete data available, taking into account direct impacts, along with the impacts of feedcrop agriculture required for livestock production. The livestock sector emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global. The findings of this report suggest that it should be a major policy focus when dealing with problems of land degradation, climate change and air poullution, water shortage and water pollution, and loss of biodiversity.

    Billfish: an important part of the pelagic gillnet fisheries of Pakistan 2013

    Billfish is a group of marine fishes belonging to families Istiophoridae and Xiphidae mainly found in the offshore waters. These large sized fishes support substantially large and important commercial and recreatiol fisheries in many parts of the world. In Pakistan, there is no aimed fishery for billfishes and these are landed as components of the catch of pelagic gillnet fisheries. There are other gillnet fisheries in Pakistan which are mainly based in coastal areas. Some of these are species s pecific like monofilament gillnet fishery for Indian mackerel and bottom set gillnet fisheries for stingrays etc. Historically billfishes used to be exported to Sri Lanka in salted-dried form fetching higher prices than all other salted products. However, from the last decade, almost entire catches of billfish are traded in chilled form with Iran. Billfishes are not well studied in Pakistan.With the exception of Osmanyet al. (2009) and Rashid (1966) no work on the billfish was dedicatedly carrie d out. Rashid (1966) described species of family Istiophoridae from Pakistan whereas Osmanyet al. (2009) described abundance and distribution of billfishes from Pakistan. In addition, Moazzam and Usmani (2004) has published a map showing distribution of billfishes in the Arabian Sea along the coast of Pakistan. Present paper describes details of the billfish fisheries of Pakistan including fishing methods (boats and gears), fishing operations, species composition, commercial landings, dispositio n and marketing. The landing data presented in this paper obtained from Anonymous (2013) and pertains to two maritime provinces of Pakistan i.e. Sindh and Balochistan as well as some information from Exclusive Economic Zone of Pakistan.
