      Handbook of Plant-Based Meat Analogs: Innovation, Technology and Quality presents the growing opportunities and challenges of meat substitutes from plant-based resources. Addressing core topics from source ingredients to consumer acceptance, it provides a comprehensive starting point for those seeking to explore sustainable meat alternative products. To date, the full potential of plant-based meat products has been underexplored, underutilized, and underrepresented.Thi... book provides the most up-to-date information on plant-based meat analogs, sources of ingredients, industrial processes, large-scale production, and health benefits, including safety and regulatory aspects and environmental implications.

    • Global Regulatory Outlook for CRISPRized Plants

      • 1st Edition
      • Kamel A. Abd-Elsalam + 1 more
      • English
      Global Regulatory Outlook of CRISPRized Plants summarizes CRISPR/Cas systems and applications for precise editing of plant genomes and discusses global regulatory frameworks for CRISPR edited crops. While CRISPR technology has become a routine, cheap, and efficient method to generate edited crops with superior traits, how these crops are regulated determines the future of this technology. Understanding the current state of regulation, concerns, issues, and foundations for future decisions are key in determining how this technology is used going forward. This important summary will be vital to the successful commercialization of CRISPR technology and biosafety concerns associated with this technology. The book highlights regulatory classification of CRISPR modifications such as SDN1, SDN2 and SDN3 and their global regulation and discusses the social, ethical, governance, and policy issues related to CRISPR edited crops.

    • GMOs and Political Stance

      Global GMO Regulation, Certification, Labeling, and Consumer Preferences
      • 1st Edition

      • English
      GMOS and Political Stance: Global GMO Regulation, Certification, Labeling, and Consumer Preferences provides a foundational-to-curr... challenges resource for those involved in developing and applying regulations to these important resources. Beginning with basics of GMOs, the book first familiarizes the reader with the history, economic status, associated risks, global politics, and socio-economics of GMOs. From exploring the necessity of GMO regulations with the existing GMO technology as well as new gene editing technologies to discussion by GMO regulations experts from different continents and countries, readers will find the information necessary to understand the laws, rules, regulations and policies at domestic and international scale. A last chapter delivers an update and future look on gene-edited food and feed and discusses the possibilities on the future risk assessment, legislation and regulation of gene-edited products. GMOS and Political Stance provides a unique and applicable synchronization of all regulatory information on GMOs to facilitate effective and efficient regulatory development and adherence.

      Policy Issues in Genetically Modified Crops: A Global Perspective contains both theoretical and empirical evidence of a broad range of aspects of GM crop policies throughout the world. Emphasizing world agriculture production and ethics of GM crops, the book balances insights into the various discussions around the use of GM crops including soil health, effects on animals, environmental sustainability impact, and ethical issues. The book presents aspects of GM crop policies and prevailing controversies throughout the world, in 5 sections containing 23 chapters. Beginning with the discussion of the policies related to GM crops, the book dives deep into issues related to food insecurity, agricultural sustainability, food safety, and environmental risks. Section 5 also captures the recent advances in agricultural biotechnology encompassing research trends, the nano-biotech approach to plant genetic engineering, and other transformation techniques in crop development. The contributors of the book represent different backgrounds, providing a holistic overview of diverse approaches and perspectives. Policy Issues in Genetically Modified Crops: A Global Perspective is a valuable resource for researchers in agricultural policy and economics, agricultural biotechnology, soil science, genetic engineering, ethics, environmental management, sustainable development, and NGOs.
