Subject:
aquaculture; food availability; food consumption; food security; international trade; malnutrition
Abstract:
... Aquaculture's rapidly increasing contribution to global aquatic food supply is masked by rhetoric on sustainability and international trade. We examine the association of country-level aquaculture production and per capita consumption of aquatic food in 163 countries. We find a positive association between aquaculture production and aquatic food consumption at the national scale where a 1% increas ...

Subject:
carbon; food security; greenhouses; industry; raw fruit; stakeholders; systematic review
Abstract:
... Globally, there is increasing pressure on all organisations and stakeholders to reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses (GHG). Such reduction efforts start with identifying an appropriate method to calculate the status quo and use this as a baseline. However, it is unclear what method to use to quantify the emissions of a fresh fruit distribution scenario. Thus, this paper aims to identify the ex ...

Abstract:
... Groundwater depletion threatens global water and food security. Despite local successes in reducing groundwater extraction, the potential for transitioning currently irrigated systems to rainfed systems to address both production and groundwater use problems remains poorly understood at the national level. Here, we consider wheat production in China, which strongly benefits from groundwater irriga ...

Abstract:
... The Pacific food system has become progressively more integrated into global food regimes. This integration has had impacts on availability and consumption of food, population health, and vulnerability to external drivers. We describe major elements of the contemporary food system to provide a foundation for analysis of food system transitions and public health outcomes. Although crop production h ...

The impact that food safety concerns have on dietary behaviors in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is insufficiently documented. Therefore, we examined whether food safety concerns influence consumer behaviors/diets in LMICs. A systematic review iden ...

Abstract:
... The use of wild edible plants and mushrooms can help to counteract the homogenisation of diets and decreasing resilience of food systems. We performed a systematic review to consolidate information about perceptions of wild edible plant and mushroom changes from the perspective of local communities. We found that 92% of all perceived changes of wild edibles relate to their decreased abundance. 76% ...

Abstract:
... It is well known that nitrogen (N) fertilization can significantly enhance cereal yield. However, unknowns remain regarding the effects of long-term N fertilization on cereal yield stability, which is as important as cereal yield in addressing the global food crisis. To address this knowledge gap, I synthesized 467 N application studies with duration ≥5 years in croplands across the world. Overall ...
