Food systems are a major driver of environmental change, responsible for rapid deforestation, water scarcity, and an estimated 30%–34% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Findings in this paper point to the capacity of plant-sourced food consumption to minimize environmental harm without necessarily jeopardizing nutrient availability in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Local agriculture can contribute to food system sustainability by producing diversified plant-sourced foods, cornerstones of many traditional food customs, and mitigating the impacts of industrialized livestock operations and imported, animal-centric dietary habits.

This Article supports SDGs 3 and 16 by assessing gaps in the evidence on key health outcomes and inequalities in Latin American and Caribbean countries, focusing particularly on inequalities between people of African descent and people of non-African descent.
This Article supports SDGs 3 and 16 by assessing whether ethnicity influences the risk of out of hospital cardiac arrest in immigrants in Denmark. The authors emphasise that identifying ethnic disparities is important to understand and prevent out of hospital cardiac arrests and to reduce inequalities.
This Article supports SDG 3 by analysing contemporary mortality data to examine Māori and non-Māori mortality rates in rural and urban areas, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address the health inequities faced by rural Māori populations. This is the first study in a decade to compare Māori mortality rates across the urban rural spectrum and it is the first study to do so using an urban: rural geographic classification developed for use in health policy and research.
This Article supports SDG 3 and 10 by highlighting the need for age-appropriate Indigenous strategies to improve health outcomes and reduce inequities for rangatahi Māori. This study provides an overview of Indigenous youth trends in Aotearoa New Zealand over two decades utilising repeated series of cross-sectional and representative surveys of secondary school students. Health inequities persisted over the 19-year period for rangatahi Māori, when compared to their Pākehā (NZ European /other European/“White”) peers, with few exceptions.
This Article supports SDG 3 by exploring perspectives of Pasifika women on the barriers to, and facilitators of, HPV self-testing, as this population has a higher rate of cervical cancer incidence and mortality than European women and a lower screening rate.
This paper supports SDG3 with evidence of high burnout, despite high resilience, in a sample of physicians working in emergency departments of teaching hospitals in the Caribbean.
This article ties to SDG 3. In this article the question: "Does internal conflict erode national identity in Sub-Saharan Africa?" is explored in the context of the 2012 Tuareg rebellion in Mali.
