- Perceptions of populations and technicians in waste management in Nampula, MozambiquePublication . Tocoloa, Alexandre; Martinho, Ana Paula; Fernandes, Ana PaulaUrban solid waste management systems (MSW) in developing countries are characterized by inadequate service delivery, low waste recovery, operational inefficiencies and inadequate waste disposal. The presence of urban solid waste poses a threat to public health and the environment if not managed properly. In Nampula city, in Mozambique, peri-urban popula-tions live near open dumps with open burning. The present study aims to analyze the implica-tions and perceptions about the effects on health and on the environment of these populations that lives close to MSW dumps in the city of Nampula. A mixed survey was used with data col-lection instruments: an epidemiological questionnaire and interview guides. The common ques-tions of these two tolls were analyzed and compare the perception of the population with the perception of health and environmental technicians of the municipality of Nampula.
- Rerouting food waste for climate change adaptation: the paths of researchPublication . Nogueira, Anne; Alves, Fátima; Fernandes, Ana PaulaIn a context of climate change where, on the one hand, large amounts of food are lost or wasted and on the other hand climate refugees are victims of food insecurity, there has been a growing interest in food waste and in research into reducing food loss. In order to identify research trends and gaps in this area, we have conducted a systematic review in this field adopting a methodology based on the use of selected key words and temporal boundaries from 2008 to 2021. The results extracted were divided in two categories: raw material and food security. The results are discussed under the following perspectives: geographic distribution of author’s institution, subject categories, and author keywords. Based on research topics found and researchers’ suggestions, actual and predictable trends on food waste management were identified for food waste as a raw material and for food security. It is found that Food Loss and Waste (FLW) fields of research interest have been: (1) food waste as a source of raw materials to produce biofuels and biomaterials; and (2) food waste upcycling for human consumption as a solution to food insecurity.
