The First, Second, Third Industrial Revolutions started with the advent of steam and waterpower, electric power and mass manufacturing techniques, and information technology and automation, respectively [1,2]. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, known as Industry 4.0, is a much-discussed topic in the literature nowadays [1]. According to Industrial Internet Consortium (2017) [3], Industry 4.0 is defined as “the integration of complex physical machinery and devices with networked sensors and software, used to predict, control and plan for better business and societal outcomes”. When it is looked as a single interpretation of the above, it is rather difficult to connect how the application of the concept Industry 4.0 can help sustain the seafood natural resources from the coastal environment. Generation of economy with seafood products with high quality will certainly make a country to sustain its GDP per capital at the carrying capacity limit or can potentially exceeding it. The idea of this paper is grounded based on logical understanding between seafood sources and industry 4.0.

Mucuna prurien beans is a genus of around 100 accepted species of climbing lianas (vines) and shrubs of the family Fabaceae and typically found in tropical woodlands. The plant has a potential for multiple uses. According to Food and Agriculture Organization [1], Mucuna (Mucuna pruriens) has potential to restore soil as well as provide food. It is an emerging multiple-use leguminous crop [2] with high potential to enhance soil health and biodiversity. Mucuna bean (Mucuna pruriens) has been grown in Kenya for purposes of rehabilitating deteriorated soils, animal feeds as well as human food. Farmers in Western Kenya (Bungoma, Kakamega and Siaya counties) have grown Mucuna beans as a Conservation Agriculture (CA) crop. This crop when grown, it prevents soil deterioration and rehabilitate the affected areas, meaning it has the potential to restore soil structure [1]. Western Kenya counties in partnership with GIZ promoted the growing of Mucuna crop as a cover crop. A total of 325 (7500 individual farmers) farmer groups are actively involved in Mucuna production. On average 18,967 hectares of land were rehabilited by growing Mucuna beans crop today (Table 1). This explains why the beans have been promoted widely in these counties. *Corresponding author: Mary Stella Wabwoba, LICHA Consultancy, Bungoma, Kenya.

Natural antioxidants possess strong potential to inhibit oxidative stress by controlling the formation and scavenging the free radicals, known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). The ROS is a collective term and including both oxygen radicals and several non-radical oxidizing agents that participate in the initiation and/ or propagation of chain reaction [1,2].

Food security is a high-priority issue for sustainable global development both quantitatively and qualitatively. Once pesticides are applied, residues may be found in soil, on plant, on harvested product, on application equipment, in water and irrigation canals, in pesticide storage area, on cloth of applicant. Short term poisoning effects like nausea, vomiting, headache, chest pain, eye, skin and throat irritation etc. and potential long-term health effect like allergies, cancer, nervous system damage, birth defects, reproductive problem have been reported in recent decades, adverse effects of unexpected contaminants on crop quality have threatened both food security and human health. Heavy metals, metalloids (e.g., Hg, As, Pb, Cd, and Cr) from pesticides and fertilizers can jeopardize human metabolomics, contributing to morbidity and even mortality. Those during crop production include soil nutrient depletion, water depletion, soil and water contamination, and pest resistance/outbreaks and the emergence of new pests and diseases.

The aim of the present research is to represent the role of social accounting as an umbrella including demographic, social, cultural and environmental indicators/variables which bring about food health in countries. In the meantime, efficient management would be possible and attainable under the conditions of food health in any country. While the three social, cultural and environmental variables are a triangle being faced by the developing countries today, the quality and quantity of population also play an important and determining role, and shortage of which contributes to socio-economic vulnerabilities, smuggling and drug addiction among a large number of people in developing world. The aforementioned variables have a pivotal role in accessing a healthy economic system. Abstract Social accounting is used as an umbrella term to denote better use of land and environment to extract food including plants, vegetables, animals etc. It provides better estimates of what there is, and what there should be. As nature is ever changing, there should be a supervision on such a link as to what we mean by social accounting. Human increase change in patterns of life and many more impact human consumption including food recipes. So, measuring the quantitative social and economic change that is happening, or about to happen, will help in stabilization of food products and items. Sociologically speaking, planners and policy makers must know that human behavior does not remain stable. According to change in human wants and aspirations, social accounting must be applied. Unfortunately, developing countries do not use social accounting, and the result of which is chaos in those countries including food issues and food shortages.

The first question is: What do we mean by the term “Plant world” (the Earth’s flora)? Most definitions include the trees, bushes, grasses, lianas, ferns and mosses-approximately 300,000 to 315,000 species. Some scientists also classify the marine green algae as a plant. Plants are characterized by their cellulose cell walls and their ability to extract from the sunlight the energy, necessary for their vital processes, through the process of photosynthesis. Plants are a crucial part of life on Earth. They are the major source of oxygen and are an essential element of most ecosystems, especially on land [2].

The synthesis of silver nanoparticles can be performed using physical, chemical and biological methods. The main disadvantage of physical and chemical methods is that they have a high cost in economic and environmental terms because they involve the use of dangerous or toxic substances [2]. Therefore, recent research focuses on developing methods of synthesis of silver nanoparticles, which do not use hazardous substances and are friendly to the environment, which can be achieved using biological systems with microorganisms and plants [3].

Sugar can be found in many different forms, and today in many parts of the world, including the Americas and Europe, most of it comes from three sources: sugar cane, sugar beets, and corn. The sugar from cane and beets is in the form of sucrose (table sugar), which is a disaccharide containing equal parts glucose and fructose. High fructose corn syrup is the sugar derived from the modification of corn starch, also containing glucose and fructose. Many food manufacturers prefer to use corn syrup because it’s cheaper and easier to use, but HFCS has recently been under attack. Opponents claim that it is artificial, unnatural, and that fructose consumption is harmful. Nutritionally speaking, cane sugar and HFCS are nearly identical. Sucrose is made up of 50% fructose and 50% glucose, and the most commonly used grades of HFCS also contain approximately equal parts fructose and glucose. HFCS 55 contains 55% fructose and 45% glucose, and HFCS 42 contains 42% fructose and 58% glucose U.S. FDA, [1,2]. In many cases, HFCS actually contains less fructose than cane sugar.

It is well known that all health-related issues are on the hands of the social and economic structures of any society. So, changing these structures first is the corner stone for making life prospects more dignified, healthier and acceptable. The maternal mortality and morbidity are positively related to the inadequate maternal nutrition. This inadequacy could lead to increasing the preterm births and fetal growth retardation among the exposed women [1]. In most of the developing countries, malnutrition continues to be the most important health burden. In fact, it is the most important risk factor for illness and death of millions of pregnant women and young children globally [2]. Zahan argues that women’s health cannot be understood without existing a full definition of health related to women’s role and position in society and more particularly in the context of family [3].
