This perspective highlights strategies for modeling salt tolerance mechanisms, including root system architecture adaptation, salt filtration, adaptation of plant hydraulics, ion compartmentalization, and stomatal responses, to improve model representation and prediction.
The study demonstrates that adopting more climate-friendly diets, which typically involve reduced animal-based food consumption and lower absolute micronutrient intakes, does not substantially increase the risk of micronutrient deficiencies for most nutrients. These findings underscore the importance of assessing both dietary intake and actual nutrient status when evaluating the nutritional consequences of sustainable eating patterns, supporting the potential health and environmental benefits of shifting toward climate-friendly diets.
This study takes a hybrid approach for predicting features of future food security in China
This study explores whether international crop trade can alleviate global water stress using a virtual scarce water saving/loss indicator and refined trade matrices for 109 crops across 150 countries.
REFRESH is a practical, reliable tool for assessing dietary patterns that benefit both human health and the environment. Its simplicity and strong validity make it suitable for clinical, epidemiological, and self-assessment purposes, enabling broader promotion and adoption of sustainable healthy diets. By bridging the gap between health and sustainability in diet evaluation, REFRESH supports health professionals and the public in making informed dietary choices, contributing to improved health outcomes and reduced environmental impacts.
By minimizing food waste and optimizing production through predictive analytics and real-time monitoring, as well as by enhancing product quality and safety to improve food security and access to nutritious food the proposed framework reaches optimum organic food production. The alignment of production with demand forecasts also helps reduce waste and ensure the availability of the right products.
Multiple-season farming is linked to greater crop diversity, higher food consumption, and improved food security—especially for better-off and male-headed households—though it shows no significant effect on child nutrition. This approach also suggests potential benefits for household resilience, highlighting the need to support poorer and female-headed households in accessing resources for multiple-season cultivation.
More than 800 people from over 75 countries came together virtually on 3rd June 2025 for the eleventh edition of the RELX SDG Inspiration Day: "The Future of Philanthropy: Stepping up for the SDGs" The annual online event brings together together business, academia, NGOs and government to explore pressing issues and inspire action on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Explore highlights from the day including inspiring keynotes from Ban Ki-moon, 8th Secretary General of the United Nations, Sir Lenny Henry and Sarah, Duchess of York.
Focusing on the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD), this study examines how drought and salinity intrusion from 2000 to 2020 influences rice cropping, aquaculture area, and rice yield across seven coastal provinces.
