"This book brings together the history of food, agriculture, and foreign policy to explore the use of food to promote American national security and national interests. During the first three decades of the cold war, Americans struggled to understand how an unprecedented abundance of food could be best used to advance the nations goals and values. Was food a weapon, a commodity to be valued and exchanged through markets, or a substance to be provided to those in need? Food power was essential to Americas postwar modernization strategy and vision of what it meant to be a stable, secure, and technologically advanced nation. America helped build a new postwar food system based around the steadying influence of American agricultural surpluses that helped maintain stable prices and food availability. This system averted a global-scale food crisis for almost three decades. The end of this food system in the early 1970s ushered in a much more unstable period in global food relations. The book argues that efforts to understand both Americas role in the world during the mid-twentieth century and to address contemporary food problems will be enhanced by a more complete understanding of the ways postwar American policymakers and experts sought to shape the politics of security and prosperity by linking people and places around the world through food."

"Modern industrial agriculture is not sustainable because of its heavy reliance on petroleum, a non-renewable source of the energy used in farming, and because of pollution caused by petroleum products such as fertilizers and pesticides. A systems analysis of farming suggests that agriculture will be more sustainable when services of nature, such as nutrient recycling by soil micro-organisms and natural controls of insects, replace the services now provided by energy from petroleum. Examples are drawn from the Southeastern USA, but lessons learned can be applied worldwide."

"Kemiskinan menjadi salah satu isu ekonomi yang terjadi di Indonesia. Persentase kemiskinan yang terus meningkat setiap tahunnya membutuhkan kebijakan sosial. Pemerintah Indonesia segera memberikan arahan untuk merumuskan strategi nasional keuangan inklusif dan menginisiasikan perlindungan sosial terhadap masyarakat untuk menjaga kesenjangan sosial. Bantuan Langsung Tunai (BLT) dan Program Beras untuk Keluarga Sejahtera (Program Rastra) merupakan upaya pertama pemerintah, namun pelaksanaanya diangap tidak menyelesaikan masalah karena diangap menghamburhamburkan uang negara. Oleh sebab itu, program BLT dan Rastra segera di gantikan dengan meluncurkan Bantuan Pangan Non Tunai (BPNT) pada Tahun 2017 untuk menyalurkan bantuan pangan menggantikan program BLT dan Rastra yang sebelumnya ada. Dalam proses pelaksanaan BPNT, seluruh Keluarga Penerima Manfaat (KPM) sebagai penerima BPNT, diberikan Kartu Keluarga Sejahtera (KKS) yang dapat ditukarkan dengan bahan pangan melalui Elektronik Warung Gotong Rayong, yang selanjutnya disebut E-warong. E-Warong juga, merupakan pelaksanaan Sistem Pemerintahan Berbasis Elektronik (SPBE). Penelitian ini berupaya untuk menggambarkan evaluasi pelaksanaan program E-Warong sebagai bentuk Program Bantuan Pangan Non-Tunai terutama pada Provinsi DKI Jakarta dan Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Peneliti menggunakan konsep CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) sebagaimana yang dijelaskan oleh Stufflebeam (2014). Pendekatan post-positivist peneliti gunakan dalam penelitian ini untuk mendapatkan gambaran yang utuh dan memahami kemungkinan adanya variabel-variabel lain yang belum ditemukan pada teori melalui wawancara mendalam dan studi kepustakaan. Hasil analisis yang disajikan secara deskriptif. Penelitian ini menemukan masih adanya hambatan yang ditemukan dalam penyaluran BPNT yang memanfaatkan program berbasis teknologi, E-Warong ini. Hambatan ditemukan baik di DKI Jakarta maupun Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, karena disebabkan oleh beberapa alasan, seperti kesalahan data, telatnya saldo yang masuk, hingga gangguan jaringan.

Poverty is one of the economic issues that occur in Indonesia. The percentage of poverty that continues to increase every year requires social policies. The government certainly does not remain silent in dealing with this issue, immediately provides direction to formulate a national financial inclusion strategy and initiate social protection for the community to maintain social inequality. Direct Cash Assistance (BLT) and Rice Program for Prosperous Families (Rastra) are the government's first efforts, but their implementation is considered not to solve the problem because they are considered a waste of state money. Based on this, the BLT and Rastra programs were immediately replaced by launching Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) in 2017 to distribute food assistance to replace the previously existing BLT and Rastra. In the process of implementing BPNT, all Beneficiary Families (KPM) as recipients of BPNT are given a Prosperous Family Card (KKS) which can be exchanged for food items through the Electronic Gotong Rayong Warung, hereinafter referred to as E-warong. E-Warong is also an implementation of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE). This thesis attempts to describe the evaluation of the implementation of the E-Warong program as a form of the Non-Cash Food Assistance Program, especially in the DKI Jakarta Province and the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Researchers used the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) concept as described by Stufflebeam (2014). This CIPP evaluation model can be used to carry out formative and summative evaluations on the sustainability of a program. The post-positivist approach researchers use in this study to get a complete picture and understand the possibility of other variables that have not been found in theory through in-depth interviews and literature study. The results of the analysis are presented descriptively. This study found that there are still obstacles found in the distribution of BPNT that utilizes this technology-based program, E-Warong. Barriers were found in both DKI Jakarta and the Special Region of Yogyakarta, due to several reasons, such as data errors, late incoming balances, and network disturbances."

"This discipline addresses current issues such as climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, starvation, obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control and biodiversity depletion. Novel solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from agronomy, soil science, molecular biology, chemistry, toxicology, ecology, economy, philosophy and social sciences. As actual society issues are now intertwined, sustainable agriculture will bring solutions to build a safer world. "
