Food can be contaminated during the processes of production, packaging,
transportation, etc. Food safety is concerned with such practices in
order to avoid food-borne illnesses. This includes food hygiene,
pesticide residue, food labeling, food certification, etc. The
measurement of the availability of food along with its accessibility to
consumers is known as food security. Some of the indexes to measure food
security are Household Dietary Diversity Scale (HDDS), Household Hunger
Scale (HDS), Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS), etc. The
four pillars of food security are availability, accessibility,
utilization and stability. This book covers in detail some existing
theories and innovative concepts revolving around food safety and
security. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced
studies on these fields have been included herein. This book will serve
as a resource guide for food scientists, policy makers, researchers and
students involved in these fields.
