Abstract:
... Food insecurity (FI) may increase risk for binge eating through a “feast-or-famine” cycle, where fluctuations in food availability correspond to alternating periods of food restriction and opportunities for binge eating, but research on this topic is limited. To clarify the relationship between food availability and binge eating in the context of FI, this study examined the association between mom ...

While theoretical frameworks of food system governance simplify complex food system phenomena, they may ignore other occurrences outside their framework boundaries, and the practical considerations informing actual governance initiatives. This article discusses governance frameworks such as alternative food networks, bioregions and foodsheds, rural-urban linkages, short food supply chains, and cit ...

The farming of insects for food has many advantages, since insects are readily available, can be grown in small areas, are efficient at the conversion of food to biomass, and have a minimal contribution to environmental degradation. We review the prospects for farming insects using data obtained from next-generation genome-wide DNA sequencing to guide the selection of desirable traits. This approa ...

However, in short food supply chains (SFSCs) trust linkages can be also built through direct contact between consumers and producers. This paper analyzes which type of local producers are interested in these officially recognized certifications, inferring the role that third party certif ...

Movement strategy of an animal is also mediated by internal factors such as sex. We investigate movement strategy of Asian black bears (Ursus thibetanus) in two biological periods (mating and hyperphagia periods), ...

Although both interspecific competition and coexistence mechanisms are central to ecological and evolutionary theory, past empirical studies have generally focused on simple (two‐species) communities over short time periods.
