Sustainable healthy diets in South Asia require a deeper understanding of food choice drivers at household, adolescent, and market levels. Addressing knowledge gaps through interdisciplinary research, improved measurement tools, and collaborative efforts is vital for guiding policy and program interventions. As food systems rapidly transform and ultraprocessed foods proliferate, targeted research and evidence-based strategies are essential to promote healthy, equitable, and sustainable diets for all populations in the region.

This review evaluates how AI-driven solutions, especially generative AI, can enhance urban energy resilience to help power systems adapt to and recover from extreme weather events and energy crises. By improving energy efficiency, reliability, and robustness, this approach directly supports the transition to carbon neutrality, which is essential for limiting global temperature increase and mitigating the impacts of climate change.

Climate change threatens global food security by reducing crop yields and increasing environmental stresses, requiring urgent innovation in crop resilience through advanced breeding, genetic engineering, and sustainable practices. To succeed, global collaboration, streamlined regulations, public engagement, and integrating field and lab research are essential for developing adaptable, climate-resilient crops that ensure a sustainable food future.

Engaging in philanthropic activities is being pursued by many well-established supply chains.

This review highlights 3 primary criteria for selecting vegetation that supports ecosystem services while minimizing allergy risks. First, reducing the use of many wind-pollinated plants, such as birch trees and grasses, is crucial due to their high pollen production and cross-reactivity with other species, which can exacerbate allergies. In contrast, insect-pollinated plants are generally safer for allergy sufferers. Secondly, cultivating multispecies plant communities with minimal maintenance supports habitats for microbiota and invertebrates, further providing ecosystem services. Lastly, balancing plant gender ratios in urban spaces can help control pollen levels.
