Holistic indicator frameworks are needed to track food systems transformation. This Analysis shows the application of a framework recently developed by the Food Systems Countdown Initiative to all UN member states, revealing current status, data gaps and priority actions.
Understanding the general responses of soil gross N cycling to commonly used knowledge-based N management practices on a global scale could help predict ecosystem N retention capacity and subsequent N losses. This global meta-analysis provides evidence for different responses of soil N cycling rates and N losses and associated soil properties to various knowledge-based N management practices.
A scenario analysis shows that disregarding the links between bovine milk and meat production could lead to imbalances between national dietary guidelines and production outcomes, leading to unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions and potentially to food waste.
Quantifying food-based supply and intake of micronutrients together with macronutrients is key for improved nutrition policies. This Article estimates the prevalence of 11 nutrients in global and regional diets using a production–consumption–nutrition model, highlighting the impact of reduced food waste and loss, biofortification and dietary supplements as intervention strategies.
Tropical blue food supply can be enhanced by small-scale octopus fisheries. Their catch methods and management approaches contribute to sustainable production and livelihoods.
This Analysis illustrates how nature-positive targets aimed at protecting biodiversity can be achieved at the scale of organizations. A canteen at one UK university college is used as a case study for the application of a four-step participatory approach comprising an estimation of food-related biodiversity impacts; definition of biodiversity targets; assessment of possible interventions; and exploration of different strategies.
