German food security in times of crisis

The article deals with the German food security during the conflict in Ukraine. The study analyses the German food system resilience and the Ukrainian crisis impact on food security. The author aims to solve several scientific problems as well. The article examines the German understanding of food security and how the national concept corresponds to the approaches of international organisations. The author analyses the level of self-sufficiency in basic food products in Germany and the impact of the Ukrainian conflict on various imported food products. She examines official documents of the UN FAO, the government of Germany, and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food to identify the conception of food security in Germany. The researcher scrutinises statistic data provided by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, the Federal Office for Food and Agriculture, the Federal Statistical Office and concludes about the level of German self-sufficiency in food. The interpretation of data data of fluctuations in the supply of oilseeds and oil reveals the effect of Ukrainian crisis on German food security as well. Official papers and statistic data analysis shows that Germany achieved self-sufficiency in basic food. The country focuses on strengthening the sustainability of agriculture and improving food quality in its national strategic papers. The weak element of food security is imports of oil and oilseeds, the supply of which declined in 2022. At the same time, raising prices and declining supplies of gas and fertilisers can become a serious threat to food security.

Enantioselective fate and risk assessment of chiral fungicide pydiflumetofen in rice-fish and wheat farming systems

Fungicides have been widely used for reducing the losses caused by plant diseases. Rice and wheat are the most basic food crops, and the potential risks after applying fungicides are worthy of attention. Especially rice-fish farming system is an ecological symbiosis system that is beneficial to both environmental and ecological protection. However, the application of pesticides will stress the ecosystem, and the pesticide residues in rice and fish would be transmitted along the food chain, which is harmful to human health. Here, the enantioselective behaviors of chiral pydiflumetofen in rice-fish and wheat farming systems were clarified. In the rice-fish farming system, pydiflumetofen enantiomers were preferentially attached to the plants, entering the paddy water and settling into the paddy soil, and then accumulating and dissipating in the fish. With the growth of rice, it was transported to rice fruits. The wheat farming system was similar. Enantioselective dissipation occurred in carp (Cyprinus carpio), brown rice and wheat soil, and S-(+)-pydiflumetofen was preferentially dissipated. In other words, R-(−)-pydiflumetofen showed higher concentrations, especially in carp, which meant R-(−)-pydiflumetofen was more easily accumulated in the environment, and posed a greater potential risk to the farming system. The pydiflumetofen residues in brown rice and wheat were lower than MRLs from the EFSA (0.02 mg/kg) and eCFR (0.3 mg/kg), respectively. What deserves attention is that the MRL of pydiflumetofen in fish is not clear. Meanwhile, pydiflumetofen in paddy soil and wheat soil had a persistent residual effect, and the risks could not be ignored. Combined with the previous research, developing S-(+)-pydiflumetofen products will help to reduce the dosage and reduce the risks to environment and people. This study evaluated the environmental fate and risk of chiral pydiflumetofen from the perspective of farming system, and would provide data support for its rational use and risk assessment.

A Brief Review on Synthetic Pyrethroids-prospective Peril to Aquatic Fauna Especially Fish

The application of pesticides is required to manage and control the pest population in agricultural fields to fulfill the basic food demand of the growing global population. Synthetic pyrethroids are insecticides that are introduced over the past two decades for agricultural procedures as replacements for organophosphates and carbamates for controlling pests and increasing food production. Pyrethroids are derived from pyrethrins, which are organically acquired after extraction from the flowers of Chrysanthemum species (i.e., cinerariaefolium and coccineum). Synthetic pyrethroids are neurotoxic in their MoA (mode of action). The voltage-sensitive sodium channels in nervous system are the actual site of pyrethroid action. Studies have shown pyrethroids as more stable and persistent in environment hence are percolation prone. . KEYWORDS :Environment, Fish, Pyrethrin, Synthetic-pyrethroid, Toxicity

Food Crises in Post-War Poland (1945–1989)

Abstract Fulfilling the needs of securing the food market was a key problem for the economy of the People’s Republic of Poland. According to the assumptions of the socialist system, all basic means of production were owned by the state and society as a whole, and production: its structure and volume depended on central assumptions. Farmers not only had to face the issue of reconstruction of farms in the post-war period, they were also obliged to make compulsory deliveries, and had the main responsibility for feeding the country. Production capacity in the face of the growing needs of society was insufficient, which forced rationing and the use of substitutes in the diet. There were periodic declines in the consumption of selected commodities, especially meat. The purpose of this article is to analyze the situation of the food market in the period 1945–1989, taking into account the burden of the countryside, the level of consumption and the import and export of basic food products.

The Main Trends in the Development of Agricultural Production in the World and Russia

The article examines the trends in the production of the main types of agricultural products in the world based on the analysis of the OECD-FAO forecast for the next decade 2023–2032. According to this forecast, by 2032, world agricultural production in value terms will increase by 17 %. The strengthening of the role of developing countries in the production of agricultural products is the main trend in the development of world agricultural production, which is based on population growth, the need to ensure food security in connection with the sanctions policy of Western countries, which led to a change in trade relations and disruption of logistics supply chains of products. According to the OECD-FAO forecast, the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, as well as the countries of Africa, will provide more than 70 % growth in crop production. Developing countries will account for about 60 % of livestock production by the end of the decade. The main growth factor will be an increase in crop yields and animaproductivity based on the intensification of production and an increase in the level of scientific and technological support for the industry. The article also examines the main trends in the development of production and consumption of agricultural products in Russia for the next decade and determines the level of self-sufficiency in basic food products, which Russia will reach by 2032.

Impact of Physico-Chemical and Biological Parameters on Zooplankton Composition and Abundance in Freshwater Lake of Mulukanoor Karimnagar District, Telangana

The plankton constitutes the basic food sources of any aquatic ecosystem, which Supports fish and other aquatic animals. Zooplankton diversity is one of the most important ecological parameters in water quality assessment. Zooplankton is good indicator of the changes in water quality because they are strongly affected by environmental conditions and respond quickly to changes in water quality. In the present paper, Zooplankton diversity in relation to physico-chemical parameters of the Mulukanoor Lake located in Krimnagar District, Telangana state.The study was carried out for a period of one year from June 2015 to May 2016 to evaluate the relationship and influence between different water quality parameters and the abundance of zooplankton population. The physico-chemical parameters includes Temperature, Electrical Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids, Water Transparency, PH, Dissolved Oxygen.Free Co2, Total Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Chloride, Biological Oxygen Demand, Phosphate, Nitrate and Ammonia were analyzed. All the values of these parameters were found within the prescribed standard limits. Therefore this lake has rich number of species biodiversity of aquatic animals. Four different groups of zooplankton were identified in this study which includes Rotifera, Cladocera, Copepoda and Ostracoda. Zooplankton diversity and abundance refers to variety within in the community. Numerically rotifers were dominant group throughout the study period. The season wise zooplankton analysis showed a maximum average abundance of species in Post-Monsoon season, minimum abundance in monsoon season due to the different environmental and inflow characteristics of the water body. The composition of zooplankton rotifers was dominant Rotifera(56%) followed by cladocera (23%), copepod (13%) and ostracoda (8%).Therefore it can be now concluded that this lake is highly potential to take up commercial fisheries.

Variable physical functions in individuals in response to sensory stimuli

PurposeSensory stimulation affects physical function; however, the type and range of physical function change remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the type and extent of changes in simple physical functions resulting from exposure to color and taste stimuli.MethodsFive basic colors (red, blue, yellow, green, and black) and foods representative of the five basic tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami) were used as stimuli. Three different physical function tests on muscle strength (grip strength), flexibility (bending length), and balance (stabilometer trajectory area) were performed while wearing color-tinted goggles or after tasting food stimuli. All the stimuli tests were performed in 1 day and repeated for 6 successive days each for color and taste stimuli.ResultsEach stimulus had a different effect on the participants. For color stimulation, the median change ratio between the minimum and maximum effects was 5.68% (4.14–8.07%) for muscle strength, 8.52% (5.11–13.39%) for flexibility, and 30.60% (26.81–36.18%) for balance. The corresponding values for taste stimulation were 4.96% (3.67–7.89%), 6.11% (4.37–8.86%), and 28.92% (21.38–34.01%). The rate of change in balance was the highest among the three physical tests and was significantly different from the rate of change in other physical functions (balance vs. muscle power, P < 0.001; balance vs. flexibility, P < 0.001).ConclusionColor and taste stimuli have different effects on physical function, with individual-level differences in sensitivity to stimuli. Sensory stimuli may affect individual physical functions.

PSVIII-20 A Premium Dry Cat Food Enhances Digestibility and Gut Health in Cats Compared with a Grocery Dry Cat Food

Abstract As the awareness of pet owners to the benefits of nutrition on pet health and wellness increases, pet owners are looking for foods that include high-quality ingredients and functional benefits. However, little research is available on cats comparing health measures when feeding premium foods vs basic cat foods. This study aimed to compare the effects of feeding a premium cat kibble diet (Blue Buffalo Tastefuls; BB) and a basic grocery cat kibble diet on digestibility, blood biomarkers, and fecal microbiome in healthy adult cats. Sixty cats (mean BW = 4.2 ± 0.8 kg; mean age = 4.3 ± 3.2 yr) were randomly selected to consume BB (n = 30) or grocery diet (n = 30) for 180 days. On days 0, 90, and 180, fresh fecal samples were collected for fecal microbiome and dysbiosis index analysis and blood samples were collected for measurements of complete blood count, serum chemistry, and serum biomarkers. A separate 10-day digestibility study was conducted using 14 cats (BB n = 7, grocery diet n = 7; mean BW = 3.8 ± 0.7 kg). Total fecal samples were collected from day 6 to day 10 for nutrient digestibility analysis. Protocols were approved by the facility’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee before the study. All data were analyzed using the Mixed Models procedure of SAS. Fecal scores were not changed (P &amp;gt; 0.05) by diet. Greater (P &amp;lt; 0.05) digestibility of protein, fat, and energy were observed in cats consuming BB. Although all blood cell count and blood chemistry values were within the reference ranges, measurements such as total protein, aspartate transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, cholesterol, and triglycerides were significantly different (P &amp;lt; 0.05) between diet groups. Greater (P &amp;lt; 0.05) insulin-like growth factor-1 was observed in cats fed BB. Cats consuming BB had a lower (P &amp;lt; 0.05) dysbiosis index (less dysbiotic microbiome) and a greater (P &amp;lt; 0.05) bacterial species richness. Relative abundances of 28 bacterial genera were altered (P &amp;lt; 0.05) by the diets, with greater abundances of Faecalibacterium, Megamonas, and Ruminococcus observed in cats fed BB. The data suggest that a premium dry cat food may elicit beneficial effects on digestibility and the GI microbiome of healthy adult cats.

PSVIII-21 A Premium Dry Dog Food Elicits Gut Health Benefits Compared with a Grocery Dry Dog Food

Abstract With the pet humanization trend, pet parents are continuously seeking approaches to improve the health of their pets. Compared with grocery dog foods produced to meet the basic needs of the dog, premium dog foods include high-quality ingredients and functional benefits that can be more appealing to consumers. However, little research is available comparing health measures in dogs fed premium foods vs. basic grocery foods. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of feeding a premium dog kibble diet (Blue Buffalo; BB) and a grocery dog kibble diet on digestibility, blood biomarkers, and fecal microbiome in healthy adult dogs. Sixty dogs (mean BW = 10.8 ± 2.0 kg; mean age = 8.2 ± 3.3 yr) were randomly selected to consume BB (n = 30) or the grocery diet (n = 30) for 180 days. On days 0, 90, and 180, fresh fecal samples were collected for fecal microbiome and dysbiosis index analysis and blood samples were collected for measurements of complete blood count, serum chemistry, and serum biomarkers. A separate 10-day digestibility study was conducted using 12 dogs (BB n = 6, grocery diet n = 6; mean BW = 12.0 ± 2.1 kg). Total fecal samples were collected from day 6 to day 10 for nutrient digestibility analysis. Protocols were approved by the facility’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee before the study. All data were analyzed using the Mixed Models procedure of SAS. Stool quality was not different (P &amp;gt; 0.05) between diet groups. Both diets were highly digestible without dietary effects (P &amp;gt; 0.05). All blood cell count and serum chemistry values were within the reference ranges. However, dogs fed the grocery diet had greater (P &amp;lt; 0.05) liver enzyme concentrations including alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, and greater (P &amp;lt; 0.05) monocyte counts compared with BB. Dogs had greater (P &amp;lt; 0.05) serum pancreatic polypeptide when fed BB. A lower dysbiosis index (less dysbiotic microbiome) was observed in dogs consuming BB. Relative abundances of 23 bacterial genera were altered (P &amp;lt; 0.05) by the diets, with greater abundances of Bifidobacterium and Megamonas and decreased abundance of Streptococcus observed in the BB group compared with the grocery diet group. These results suggest that premium dry dog food could potentially elicit a positive impact on blood parameters and GI health.

Consumer Willingness to Pay for Food Defense and Food Hygiene in Japan: Cross-Sectional Study.

In Japan, incidents of falsified expiration dates on popular cookie brands and health hazards associated with frozen Chinese dumplings have raised food safety awareness. To prevent the intentional contamination of food by foreign substances, large food manufacturing companies have adopted the concept of food defense. The aim of this study was to assess people's willingness to pay for food protection measures. In addition, the impact of participants' personalities and considerations regarding their purchase choices on how much they were willing to pay when shopping for food and other products were measured. A questionnaire on willingness to pay for food hygiene and food defense was administered via a web survey and 1414 responses were included in the analysis. Univariate logistic regression analyses were performed with individuals willing and unwilling to pay additional costs as the objective variable and other questionnaire items as explanatory variables. A principal component analysis was performed on 12 questions regarding how much additional money people were willing to pay, and the principal component scores and other questions were examined for implications and other information. Approximately one-third of the respondents stated that they were unwilling to pay additional costs and reported a willingness to consume delivery food even if it contained items that were not part of the original order. The first principal component reflected the extent to which people were willing to pay additional money, and if so, how much. This tendency existed even if the individual foods and amounts varied. The third principal component reflected the amount of extra money that people were willing to pay, which was determined by the amount people had to pay toward food safety measures. Those who answered "zero" were more likely to believe that consumers should not have to pay to ensure food safety. The second principal component reflected an axis separating food defense and food hygiene. Some items not directly related to food were correlated with this axis. In Japan, the concept of food hygiene is well-established and is generally taken for granted. In contrast, the concept of food defense is relatively new and has not yet fully penetrated the Japanese market. Our research shows that people who think that clothing brands provided added value to clothing products may have similar feelings about food defense. In addition, food hygiene efforts to prevent outbreaks of food poisoning are common in Japan and have been established as the basis of food safety. While food defense efforts are spreading, mainly in companies, it is presumed that they are valuable for the general public as supplementary measures to routine (or basic) food hygiene.
