Analysis of nutrient density and micronutrient content across plant-based milk alternatives shows inconsistencies pertinent to the definition of these products as a single food group.
A wetting method for cassava flour can further reduce cyanide exposure and its disease burden among children. The cost-effectiveness of the method in reducing cognitive disability is assessed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
An economic model estimates increases in the number of people unable to afford even half the cost of healthy diets in low- and middle-income countries due to the COVID-19 crisis.
Different methods are currently used to quantify nitrogen use efficiency. The comparison of three such methods based on real-world experiments shows the impact of indicator choice on results, while highlighting the importance of long-term observations.

Large-scale land transactions can promote agricultural intensification but may be accompanied by negative socioeconomic and environmental consequences. Estimated carbon emissions from converting transacted lands to large-scale farms can reach up to 2.26 Gt, with the majority emitting from Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America and Oceania; mitigation strategies are discussed.
