The article concludes that advancing sustainable diet research and policy in the United States requires regular federal updates and integration of the Food Commodity Intake Database within the national nutrition data system. The FCID’s unique ability to link dietary data to multiple sustainability domains makes it indispensable for comprehensive analysis. Without timely updates and coordinated efforts, research will remain limited and policy decisions inadequately informed, hindering progress towards healthier, more sustainable food systems. Increased federal investment and interagency collaboration are necessary to build robust data infrastructure supporting sustainable diet initiatives and improved public health outcomes.

This paper examines biodiversity capacity building in the Afrotropical Region through the development of entomological expertise, insect biodiversity research, and international scientific collaboration.

This paper highlights recent advancements to enhance agricultural productivity while minimizing negative environmental impacts.

The study forecasts AI-based innovation's impact on SDGs in 22 countries from 2022 to 2030 using System Dynamics Modeling. In most of the 22 countries studied, AI-based innovation positively affects SDGs 1, 3, and 5. For half of the countries studied, AI-based innovation positively influences SDGs 2, 4, 6–8, 11, 13, and 16–17. AI-based innovation does not positively influence SDGs 10, 12, 14–15 for most countries studied.

Digestate is a widely-used liquid alternative to mineral fertiliser, but nutrients readily leech from it, limiting its application. Here, the authors use a porous silicon material to enhance digestate, improving nutrient retention and crop yields.

Due to the aging population, both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are degenerative brain disorders that are now recognized as important public health issues.

Humans harbor complex communities of microbes, predominantly bacteria, that live symbiotically within the colon. There are several factors that influence the trajectory of gut microbiota in infants such as birth term, mode of delivery, and dietary habits.
