Innovar puede identificarse como la mejora en las formas en que las industrias producen y comercializan cosas, por ejemplo, cambios de productos, modificaciones en los procesos, nuevas formas de organización de la empresa o de distribución de sus productos. En particular en las empresas dedicadas a procesar alimentos la innovación puede aparecer en diferentes niveles: Los ingredientes novedosos (para sustituir o disminuir grasa, azúcar, sal en las formulaciones, adición de antioxidantes) y la forma en que se obtienen o se incorporan a un alimento (en nanoemulsiones, microencapsulados, etc.) buscando la facilidad de uso, la sustentabilidad del proceso, el aprovechamiento de características bioactivas, la maquinaria que se utiliza o las condiciones a que se somete un alimento. Las nuevas formas de comercialización (redes sociales, tiendas especializadas, etc.) y el surgimiento de nuevos grupos de mercado por las tendencias de alimentación (vegetarianos, veganos, deportistas, consumidores de productos orgánicos, etc.) son también fuentes de innovación. En realidad la innovación dentro de la ingeniería en alimentos aparece en todos los campos y permite y genera la necesidad de interacción de diversos especialistas para obtener los resultados deseados: alimentos que duren más, con mejor calidad, con cualidades específicas, acordes a los nuevos mercados, a los consumidores que quieren un producto tradicional pero con la incorporación de las ventajas de la tecnología para mantenerlo dentro de su estilo de vida. Este libro tiene una muestra de las muchas formas que tiene la ciencia de los alimentos para innovar en la ingeniería de alimentos, siempre con el objetivo último de satisfacer a los consumidores, aportando desde las diversas vertientes en que un alimento puede ser estudiado, aun en la formación de los profesionales en esta área.

Nanotechnologies in Food provides an overview of the products and applications of nanotechnologies in agri-food and related sectors. Following on from the success of the first edition, this new edition has been revised and updated to bring the reader fully up to date on the emerging technological, societal, and policy and regulatory aspects in relation to nanotechnologies in food. This book contains new chapters discussing some of the aspects that have attracted a lot of debate and research in recent years, such as how the regulatory definition of ‘nanomaterial’ is shaping up in Europe and whether it will result in a number of exciting food additives being regarded as nanomaterials, how the new analytical challenges posed by manufactured nanoparticles in food are being addressed and whether the emerging field of nano delivery systems for food ingredients and supplements, made of food materials or other soft/degradable polymers, can raise any consumer safety concerns. The edition concludes by discussing the future trends of the technological developments in the area of nanotechnologies and potential future ‘fusion’ with other fields, such as biotechnology and synthetic biology. This book provides a source of much needed and up-to-date information on the products and applications of nanotechnology for the food sector - for scientists, regulators, and consumers alike. It also gives an independent, balanced, and impartial view of the potential benefits as well as risks that nanotechnology applications may bring to the food sector. Whilst providing an overview of the state-of-the-art and foreseeable applications to highlight opportunities for innovation, the book also discusses areas of uncertainty in relation to public perception of the new technological developments, and potential implications for consumer safety and current regulatory controls. The book also discusses the likely public perceptions of nanotechnologies in the light of past technological developments in the food sector, and how the new technology will possibly be regulated under the existing regulatory frameworks.
This publication deals with key issues in land tenure, especially as they relate to food insecurity and rural development situations. Land tenure issues are frequently ignored in rural development interventions, with often long-lasting, negative results. This guide is designed to assist technical officers in governments and civil society in understanding why and how land tenure issues should be considered in rural development projects. It analyses important contexts such as environmental degradation, gender discrimination, and conflicts, where land tenure is currently of critical concern.

Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.
