Land Use Policy, Volume 157, October 2025

As one of the most food-insecure countries of the Global South, Ethiopia has experienced significant land-use changes driven by economic development and population growth. This study examined the dynamic land use transitions in Ethiopia during the period 2000–2020 including the socio-economic factors driving land-use transitions and grain demand. Although the sustained growth in international trade coupled with increased productivity has benefited the country's food supply, the food security situation in low-income countries, including Ethiopia, will remain critical in the context of population growth.

With an estimated 2 billion people worldwide suffering from iron deficiency — a condition linked to anemia, impaired childhood brain development, and higher infant mortality — researchers are racing to find more effective nutritional interventions. MIT scientists have developed a promising solution: tiny crystalline particles known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that can be used to fortify everyday foods and beverages, mixed into foods such as bread or sprinkled directly into drinks like coffee or tea.

Clinical observations suggest that diabetes contributes to pathogenic tumor vasculature, yet the underlying mechanisms are not clear.
