One Welfare Animal Health and Welfare, Food Security and Sustainability
This thought-provoking book explores the link between animals, people and their social and physical environments in relation to livestock farming, food safety, food security and sustainability.Providing an overview of livestock farming and animal related food production systems in a one welfare context, One Welfare: Animal Health and Welfare, Food Security and Sustainability begins by considering the interconnections of animals, humans and their environment.It then expands into the food production system, and considers the integration of positive welfare, stress, use of welfare indicators and the economic perspective.Written by a team of international experts, and with a foreword by Andrea Gavinelli, Head of the Animal Welfare Unit in the Health and Food Safety Directorate General of the European Commission, it connects theory with best practice examples and case studies from both organizations and individuals that have successfully implemented a one welfare approach.Essential reading for academics and practitioners who work within farming, food systems and international development, this ground-breaking text is also an important read for veterinary and animal welfare professionals.

Health Security Intelligence
Health Security Intelligence introduces readers to the world of health security, to threats like COVID-19, and to the many other incarnations of global health security threats and their implications for intelligence and national security. Disease outbreaks like COVID-19 have not historically been considered a national security matter.While disease outbreaks among troops have always been a concern, it was the potential that arose in the first half of the twentieth century to systematically design biological weapons and to develop these at an industrial scale, that initially drew the attention of security, defence and intelligence communities to biology and medical science.This book charts the evolution of public health and biosecurity threats from those early days, tracing how perceptions of these threats have expanded from deliberately introduced disease outbreaks to also incorporate natural disease outbreaks, the unintended consequences of research, laboratory accidents, and the convergence of emerging technologies.This spectrum of threats has led to an expansion of the stakeholders, tools and sources involved in intelligence gathering and threat assessments.This edited volume is a landmark in efforts to develop a multidisciplinary, empirically informed, and policy-relevant approach to intelligence-academia engagement in global health security that serves both the intelligence community and scholars from a broad range of disciplines.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal, Intelligence and National Security.

How does the security barrier in the store with alarm and security technology work?
The security barrier in a store with alarm and security technology typically consists of sensors placed at entry and exit points. These sensors detect when an item with a security tag passes through them without being deactivated at the checkout. When this happens, the sensors trigger an alarm to alert store staff of a potential theft. Additionally, the security tags on items are usually deactivated at the checkout counter using a special device, allowing customers to leave the store without setting off the alarm.

Should public places be monitored by cameras and security technology?
Public places should be monitored by cameras and security technology to ensure the safety and security of the people using those spaces. These measures can help deter criminal activity, provide evidence in the event of a crime, and help law enforcement respond more effectively to incidents. However, it is important to balance the use of surveillance technology with privacy concerns and ensure that it is used responsibly and ethically. Additionally, there should be transparency and oversight in the use of surveillance technology to prevent abuse and protect civil liberties.

Is agribusiness the solution to the world's food security problem?
Agribusiness can play a significant role in addressing the world's food security problem by increasing efficiency, productivity, and innovation in the agricultural sector. However, it is not the sole solution to the issue. Small-scale and sustainable farming practices, investment in rural infrastructure, access to markets, and support for smallholder farmers are also crucial components in achieving food security. Agribusiness must be balanced with sustainable and equitable practices to ensure long-term food security for all.

'Security or Freedom?'
The balance between security and freedom is a complex and delicate one. While security is essential for protecting individuals and society from harm, excessive security measures can encroach on personal freedoms. Conversely, too much freedom without adequate security measures can lead to chaos and endanger the well-being of individuals and society. Finding the right balance between security and freedom is crucial for maintaining a stable and just society. It requires thoughtful consideration of the potential risks and benefits of security measures, as well as a commitment to upholding fundamental human rights and freedoms.
