Nutrient depletion can refer to shifts in the relative nutrient composition and overall nutrient quantity (i.e. food abundance). Human activity has changed both in the natural environment extensively, usually with negative effects on wildlife flora and fauna. [4] [5] The opposite effect is known as eutrophication or nutrient pollution. [6]
Food safety affects food utilization, [57] and can be affected by the preparation, processing, and cooking of food in the community and household.

The decomposition of food, either plant or animal, called spoilage in this context, is an important field of study within food science. Food decomposition can be slowed down by conservation. The spoilage of meat occurs, if the meat is untreated, in a matter of hours or days and results in the meat becoming unappetizing, poisonous or infectious.
To help the oasification process, engineers aim to develop a thriving dense woody plant cover to redress the hydrological, edaphic and botanical degradation affecting a slope. This is done through appropriate soil preparation and the introduction of suitable plant species.
The current food safety laws are enforced by the FDA and FSIS.

For households it is the ability to purchase or produce the food they need for a ...
A food safety hazard is any biological, chemical, or physical property that may cause a food to be unsafe for human consumption.
