Neuware -Document from the year 2026 in the subject Health - Nutritional Science, , language: English, abstract: Food Safety in Developing Countries: Challenges, Innovations, and Policy Solutions provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of one of the most pressing public health issues of the twenty-first century. The book explores the complex and uneven burden of foodborne diseases across low- and middle-income countries, where structural inequalities, limited infrastructure, and fragmented regulatory systems contribute to persistent exposure to biological, chemical, and physical hazards. Drawing on global epidemiological evidence, it highlights that hundreds of millions of people-particularly children under five-are disproportionately affected by preventable foodborne illnesses, resulting in significant morbidity, mortality, and long-term developmental consequences.The volume systematically analyzes key contamination pathways, including microbial pathogens such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, and pathogenic Escherichia coli, as well as chemical hazards like mycotoxins, pesticide residues, and heavy metals. It emphasizes the critical role of environmental conditions, agricultural practices, and informal food systems in shaping food safety outcomes. Particular attention is given to the informal food sector, which dominates food distribution in many developing regions and presents both significant risks and opportunities for scalable intervention.Beyond diagnosing challenges, the book highlights innovative and context-appropriate solutions. These include rapid diagnostic technologies, digital traceability systems, improved post-harvest handling, biocontrol strategies, and data-driven risk prediction models. The integration of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), and tiered regulatory frameworks is presented as essential for strengthening food safety systems while accommodating resource constraints.Importantly, the book advances a policy-oriented perspective, arguing that sustainable improvements in food safety require institutional transformation, multisectoral collaboration, and equity-centered approaches. It underscores the need to balance regulatory enforcement with livelihood protection, particularly for smallholder farmers and informal vendors. Furthermore, it identifies emerging threats such as climate change, urbanization, and globalized supply chains as amplifiers of food safety risks.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.
