Sommario/riassunto

In the years following the global financial crisis, many low-income countries experienced rapid recovery and strong economic growth. However, many are now facing enormous difficulties because of rapidly rising food and fuel prices, with the threat of millions of people being pushed into poverty around the globe. The risk of continued food price volatility is a systemic challenge, and a failure in one country has been shown to have a profound impact on entire regions. This volume addresses the challenges of commodity price volatility for low-income countries and explores some macroeconomic policy options for responding to commodity price shocks. The book then looks at



inclusive growth policies to address inequality in commodity-exporting countries, particularly natural resource rich countries. Perspectives from the Middle East and North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, emerging Asia, and Mexico are presented and, finally, the role of the international donor community is examined. This volume is a must read for policymakers everywhere, from those in advanced, donor countries to those in countries with the poorest and most vulnerable populations.

Sommario/riassunto

The marine environment is rich in biological and chemical diversity and is the source of molecules that can be used to create a range of products. Marine organisms contain various unique bioactive substances, which can be transformed into active substances by bioconversion technology through membrane bioreactors. This book discusses recent advances in marine nutraceutical research and includes a wide range of applications in both traditional Chinese medicine practice as well as contemporary medicine. The book clarifies the historic misconceptions of marine-derived medicines and provides insigh
