- The Challenges and Strategies of Food Security under Global ChangePublication . Guiné, Raquel; Raquel P. F. GuinéThe world today confronts troubling trends that impact food security. The first trend is an increase in the world’s population: the United Nations projects that the world’s population will rise to about 10 billion by 2050, and the number of countries that are food importers is rising. The second trend is that the world’s food supply will be pressured by the twin effects of environmental degradation and climate change. Climate change has direct impacts on agriculture and environmental degradation, such as sterile agricultural land, depleted water tables, and falling grain yields, threatens food security for hundreds of millions of people. Climate-induced drought reduces crop production and lowers yields, while warmer temperatures lead to a higher incidence of plant, livestock, and fish diseases. Climate change is dislocating production in some regions, and this trend is expected to increase as the century progresses. The third trend is a rise in populism and nationalism, which has increased trade protectionism. The fourth trend is an increase in the number of weak and at-risk states, which are poorly equipped to address their food insecurity and, therefore, face political instability. The purpose of this Reprint is to examine global food security challenges through a number of contributions that analyze the primary food security challenges, strategies for mitigation of food insecurity, sources of resilience, and prospects for success.

- CERNAS – Current Evolution and Research Novelty in Agricultural SustainabilityPublication . Guiné, Raquel; Ferreira, António; Rodrigues, AntónioThis book addresses original studies and reviews focused on the current evolution and research novelty in agricultural sustainability. New developments are discussed on issues related with quality of soil, natural fertilizers or the sustainable use of land and water. Also crop protection techniques are pivotal for the sustainable food production under the challenges of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, allied to innovative weed control methodologies, as a way to reduce the utilization of pesticides. The role of precision and smart agriculture is becoming more pertinent as the communication technologies improve at a high rate. Waste management, reuse of agro industrial residues, extension of shelf life and use of new technologies are ways to reduce food waste, all contributing to a higher sustainability of the food supply chains, leading to a more rational use of natural resources. The unquestionable role of bees as pollinators and contributors for biodiversity is subjacent to the work of characterization of beekeeping activities, which in turn contribute, together with the valorization of endemic varieties of plant foods, for the development of local communities. Finally, the short circuits and local food markets have a decisive role in the preservation and enhancement of rural economies.
- Projeto EATMOT: Motivações AlimentaresPublication . Guiné, RaquelO projeto EATMOT - Motivações psicossociais associadas às escolhas e práticas alimentares, foi desenvolvido em vários países, mas este livro combina os resultados do desenvolvimento do projeto em Portugal. O objetivo foi estudar os fatores que condicionam as escolhas alimentares, avaliados nos seguintes domínios: motivações de saúde; fatores económicos; aspetos emocionais; influências culturais; marketing e publicidade ou preocupações ambientais.
