An important contribution to the human wellbeing, a thesis on the dairy sector of the University Federico II

In a world where the food is everyday more scarce and expensive, the initiatives for improvement the quantity and quality of the food production are something essential.
In the recent past years the food prices reached unbelievable figures. The price reflects the situation of a good in the market, its scarcity or abundance, so that the high level of the food prices reveals the vulnerability of the food production, distribution and marketing.
The damage to the environment is the other key element; one of the most serious consequences of the abuse against the environment is the reduction of the sources of water worldwide. Without water the food production is not possible.
The limitations to the food production is then a reality; for that reason one of the most important objectives of the scientific and technological research should be to carry out new methods to strengthen the food production since a qualitative and quantitative point of view.
The projections of the population growth for the coming years represent a true challenge. In that scenario, the production of cereals is and will be something essential but the production of proteins will be also very important. The dairy industry is one of the main sources of proteins and an effective road to tackle the problem of the poverty and the undernourishment now and in the near future. Hence, the scientific and technological research for improvement the dairy sector deserves be considered like a valuable contribution to the world wellbeing.
The universities that stimulate this type of research give an important support to the human development. Recently I read an interesting thesis for the improvement of the dairy sector; the author of the thesis is Dr. Paola Zinno, of the University Federico II of Naples, Italy. I think that this kind of works is important for the development and progress of humanity. The reading of that thesis of Dr. Paola Zinno motivated me to write these reflections.
