This paper suggests that the contribution of cities to global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is often overstated. Many sources suggest that cities are responsible for 75

This paper seeks to measure deprivation in terms of physical development and calorie-intake of children in two villages of Orissa.

One reason for the increase in world food prices is that of food consumption, especially in developing countries. Another is the demand for cereals and food crops to produce biofuels. Which is the more dominant factor that can explain this surge?

Emissions derived from human digestion of food and subsequent excretion are very relevant from a life cycle perspective, and yet they are often omitted from food life cycle assessment (LCA) studies. This article offers a simple model to allocate and include these emissions in LCAs of specific foodstuffs.

The economic stability of the country depends to a great extent on the management of its food economy. In this paper an attempt has been made to study various aspects of and factors affecting food management in India in the light of the changing global food scenario.

While the headcount index of poverty in India has fallen, per capita cereal consumption and calorie intake have also decreased.

While the official poverty line used the food requirement norm from nutrition science, this paper employs the food consumption requirement derived from the Engel curve as the norm to arrive at a measure of food consumption deprivation.
