This book provides a fresh, updated and science-based perspective on the current status and prospects of the diverse array of topics related to the potato, and was written by distinguished scientists with hands-on global experience in research aspects related to potato. The potato is the third most important global food crop in terms of consumption. Being the only vegetatively propagated species among the world’s main five staple crops creates both issues and opportunities for the potato: on the one hand, this constrains the speed of its geographic expansion and its options for international commercialization and distribution when compared with commodity crops such as maize, wheat or rice. On the other, it provides an effective insulation against speculation and unforeseen spikes in commodity prices, since the potato does not represent a good traded on global markets. These two factors highlight the underappreciated and underrated role of the potato as a dependable nutrition security crop, one that can mitigate turmoil in world food supply and demand and political instability in some developing countries. Increasingly, the global role of the potato has expanded from a profitable crop in developing countries to a crop providing income and nutrition security in developing ones. This book will appeal to academics and students of crop sciences, but also policy makers and other stakeholders involved in the potato and its contribution to humankind’s food security. .AgricultureNutrition   Plant breedingFood—BiotechnologyAgricultural economicsAgriculturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006Nutritionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C18000Plant Breeding/Biotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24060Food Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C15001Agricultural Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000Life sciencesAgricultureNutrition   Plant breedingFood—BiotechnologyAgricultural economicsAgriculture.Nutrition   .Plant breeding.Food—Biotechnology.Agricultural economics.Agriculture.Nutrition.Plant Breeding/Biotechnology.Food Science.Agricultural Economics.630Campos Hugoedt990126Campos Hugoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtOrtiz Oscaredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910367257303321The Potato Crop3362516UNINA04518nam 2201141 a 450 991078216220332120230721032535.01-281-38565-40-520-94101-297866113856511-4356-5368-810.1525/9780520941014(CKB)1000000000535147(EBL)345562(OCoLC)476162434(SSID)ssj0000100348(PQKBManifestationID)11108598(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000100348(PQKBWorkID)10036950(PQKB)11334006(MiAaPQ)EBC345562(OCoLC)320325785(MdBmJHUP)muse30356(DE-B1597)520665(DE-B1597)9780520941014(Au-PeEL)EBL345562(CaPaEBR)ebr10229948(CaONFJC)MIL138565(EXLCZ)99100000000053514720070223d2008 uy 0engurun#---|u||utxtccrAghor medicine[electronic resource] pollution, death, and healing in northern India /Ron Barrett ; foreword by Jonathan P.

Death and Nondiscrimination --Conclusion --Notes --Glossary --References --IndexFor centuries, the Aghori have been known as the most radical ascetics in India: living naked on the cremation grounds, meditating on corpses, engaging in cannibalism and coprophagy, and consuming intoxicants out of human skulls. In recent years, however, they have shifted their practices from the embrace of ritually polluted substances to the healing of stigmatized diseases. In the process, they have become a large, socially mainstream, and politically powerful organization. Based on extensive fieldwork, this lucidly written book explores the dynamics of pollution, death, and healing in Aghor medicine. Ron Barrett examines a range of Aghor therapies from ritual bathing to modified Ayurveda and biomedicines and clarifies many misconceptions about this little-studied group and its highly unorthodox, powerful ideas about illness and healing.Medical anthropologyIndiaVārānasi (Uttar Pradesh)AghorīsRitualsHealingReligious aspectsAghorīsLeprosyTreatmentIndiaVārānasi (Uttar Pradesh)aghor medicine.aghor therapy.aghori.anthropology.ayurveda.biomedicines.cannibalism.charnel grounds.conflict.coprophagy.corpses.cremation grounds.cremation.death.hardship.healing powers.healing.health.human skulls.illness and health.india.kapalas.living naked.medical anthropology.medical conditions.meditation.multicultural medicine.northern india.political organization.politics.pollution.post mortem rites.radical.ritual bathing.ritually polluted substances.skull cups.stigmatized diseases.Medical anthropologyAghorīsRituals.HealingReligious aspectsAghorīs.LeprosyTreatment306.4/6109542Barrett Ron1963-1482732MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782162203321Aghor medicine3700556UNINA
