All food from a particular culture available from local resources and culturally accepted. It includes sociocultural meanings, acquisition/processing techniques, use, composition, and nutritional consequences for people using the food. (Kuhnlein, H.V. & Receveur, O. 1996. Dietary change and traditional food systems of Indigenous Peoples. Annual Review of Nutrition, 16: 417–442.)
Note
Traditional food systems are maintained especially by local communities, who retain knowledge of the local agroecosystems. This leads to the perseverance of specific food cultures within their regions.
Evolutionary biology can generally be defined as the study of species' development through their interaction with the environment. (Iwasaka, R. M. (2000). From Chakrabarty to chimeras: the growing need for evolutionary biology in patent law. The Yale Law Journal, 109(6), 1505–1534. https://doi.org/10.2307/797469)
The certification is based on a practitioner's ability to do certain environmental work activities, to have sufficient experience doing them and being able to perform them competently. (Termium)
Emissivity is defined as the ratio of the energy radiated from a material's surface to that radiated from a perfect emitter, known as a blackbody, at the same temperature and wavelength and under the same viewing conditions. It is a dimensionless number between 0 (for a perfect reflector) and 1 (for a perfect emitter). (https://www.npl.co.uk/resources/q-a/why-is-emissivity-important)
Echinophora tenuifolia L. subsp. sibthorpiana Guss. is a bushy plant widespread in most regions of Turkey. (Akgül, A. and Chialva, F. (1989), Constituents of the essential oil of Echinophora tenuifolia L. subsp. sibthorpiana (guss.) tutin from Turkey. Flavour Fragr. J., 4: 67-68. https://doi.org/10.1002/ffj.2730040206)
Brown meagre or corb (Sciaena umbra) is a species of croaker found in, the eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea occurring in shallow waters and sandy bottoms. It is harvested for human consumption, especially in the Mediterranean. (Wikipedia, 2024. Brown meagre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_meagre)
Dechlorination is the process of removing residual chlorine from disinfected wastewater prior to discharge into the environment. (https://www3.epa.gov/npdes/pubs/dechlorination.pdf)
Nutrient profiling is “the science of classifying or ranking foods according to their nutritional composition for reasons related to preventing disease and promoting health”. Nutrient profiling is a method that assesses the nutritional quality of processed foods and beverages. It is also a tool to guide policy interventions.

Note
Nutrient profiling is the categorisation of foods based on their nutritional composition using predefined criteria. Nutrient profiling has various applications, e.g. the restriction of advertisement to children, the regulation of nutrition and health claims made on foods, front-of-pack nutrition labelling, nutrition education, product reformulation.

Tetrahedral baculovirosis is considered to be infection with Baculovirus penaei. BP infections have been reported in one or more species of the following penaeid genera: Penaeus, Trachypenaeus and Protrachypene. All penaeid species may be potential hosts.

Scaling of innovations is a deliberate and planned effort to enable the use of innovations to have positive impact for many people across broad geographies. (CGIAR. 2020.

A spar buoy is a tall, thin buoy that floats upright in the water and is characterized by a small water plane area and a large mass. Because they tend to be stable ocean platforms, spar buoys are popular for making oceanographic measurements. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spar_buoy)
The study of the production, transmission, and detection (hearing) of sounds produced by organisms, such as those involved in communication. (https://lod.nal.usda.gov/nalt/192889)
In geology, ripple marks are sedimentary structures (i.e., bedforms of the lower flow regime) and indicate agitation by water (current or waves) or wind. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_marks)
Architecture is the art and science of designing and constructing buildings and other structure for human use and shelter. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_(disambiguation))
