Abstract Rice is an important staple food for more than half of the global population and one of the largest water consumers on earth. Improving the efficiency of water embedded in rice production and supply could have great implications for food and water security. This study starts from Yunnan, a traditional rice producing and consuming province in southwest China, and analyses its rice supply structure and dynamics, together with embedded water footprints (WFs) of three other regions: Northeast China, South and Southwest China and Southeast Asia. The results show that Yunnan has been under through drastic food change in the past decades, leading to increasing production and supply gap. Yunnan is found to have the least WF (778.2 m3/t) for rice production across the study regions, while Northeast China consumes the highest blue WF (364.6 m3/t) and blue to total WF ratio (97.7%). The study indicates that Northeast China is at risk of groundwater deficit due to rice production and export and the current rice production and consumption pattern is inefficient. The study suggests that policies for groundwater extraction, water resource price and international trade need to be in place to ensure sustainable food supply and water use at regional and national levels.

The increasing awareness of the environment has raised so much concerns in the way we live and the manner to which we dispose our waste. The rapid growth in polymer production has resulted in increasing concerns about the consumption of nonrenewable resources and the environmental impacts associated with its production and disposal. Polymer waste is one of the major components in municipal solid waste and is increasingly becoming a huge burden in industrialized nations. The rise in the use of plastic, coupled with increasing concerns about its disposal, has led to a renewed interest in its recycling and recovery. The technologies involved in the recovery and recycling of polymers are rapidly growing, however, there is no specific pattern of treating polymer waste. The technology depends on the type of material used in the production and consumption pattern. This chapter, therefore, discusses the patterns of polymer consumption, the environmental concerns, and different modes of recycling polymer waste.

Abstract A survey was conducted using structured questionnaire to evaluate the production and consumption pattern of gurasa,an indigenious flat bread consumed in northwestern Nigerian comprising of seven States. Also nutritive value of randomly selected gurasa samples were analyzed. Ninety eight percentage (98%) sampled consume this productany time of the day (52%) and few others for breakfast(27%), usually accompanied with yaji(spiced defatted peanut powder)(54%). More producers were males (25.7%), more consumers (32%) females mainly in the age group of 21-31. Kano, Katsina, Kaduna, Jigawa  harbour 74.3% of producers and 79% of consumers. Keep quality was less than five days (60%), less three days (40%), therefore improvement in keeping quality (41%), (37%) solicited. Yong adults were the producers who obtained the skill from parents/relatives (91%), those with less than five years were 40.5% and 6-11 years of experience, 43.3%. Local oven fueled by corn stalk were involved in baking 81% and 75.7% respectively. Need for expansion called for assistance in the area of working capital (56.75) and provision of storage facility (36.72%) to further improve profitability through greater turnover. Moisture, protein, fat, ash, dietary fiber and carbohydrate of sampled gurasa varied significantly from 28.09-30.11%, 8.96-11.68%, 4.03-5.00, 1.79-3.11%, 0.92-1, 12% and 50.00-55.04%. Weight, volume and specific loaf volume varied significantly from 108.34-119.27g, 211.96-260.17ml and 1.93-2.22ml/g respectively. It is suggested that government intervention is necessary to modernize, harmonize and regulate this subsector that help to eliminate food insecurity. Nutritional quality could be improved by partial substitution of the refined wheat flour with pulse flour since majority could not afford animal protein. Key words: Flat bread, Gurasa, Nutritive value, Production survey, Consumption survey.

In order to explore the production and consumption pattern of red meat three districts namely, Killa Saifullah, Pishin and Jaffarabad of Balochistan were selected randomly.300 hundred respondents were selected. Well-structured questionnaire was used. Cronbach's Alpha program was 0.84. to 0. 81.Chi-Square test was applied and the p-value was considered significant at p<0.01. Results revealed more than (53%) of the respondents fell into the age group of 36 to 45. While most (44%) of the respondents were acquainted with religious schooling. More than half (55%) of the respondents belonged from married categories. Chi-Square technique about the production and consumption pattern of red meat based on (p ≤0.01) was used. Highly statistically variations were observed regarding the production and consumption pattern as district-wise. Based on the results following recommendation has been developed. Government should be encouraging the new emerging technologies in the livestock sector and livestock farmers should adopt different methods and approaches for animal breeding so as to increase the livestock production. Government should promote the integrated livestock approaches and system within terms of real practices shape and mode

Resource Shortage

While massive natural resource is consumed in the production and consumption pattern of industrial civilization, plenty of solid waste is produced and discharged into natural environment, which has broken natural material circulation and caused problems like resource shortage, environmental pollution and ecological destruction. While solid waste may cause serious pollution, it still contains rich regenerative resources. In the background of ecological civilization construction, promoting circular development and recycling solid waste would be significant, and it is suitable to China's conditions." In the View of human civilization transformation, the significance of promoting circular development and recycling solid waste is analyzed and the internal relation between circular development and ecological civilization is also explored. Circular development conforms to the ecological civilization idea of respecting, conforming to and protecting nature, and provides material foundation for ecological civilization. From national conditions, the urgent need of promoting circular development and recycling solid wastes is stated. According to ecological civilization construction, on scientific understanding, top design, technology innovation and other aspects, relevant countermeasures are put forward.
