This article examines the development of a Nature Farming (NF) system standard for poultry production in Brazil, aiming to better communicate the sustainability attributes of NF products throughout the supply chain. Through qualitative research with various stakeholders, the study highlights the unique environmental, economic, social, ethical, and health dimensions of NF poultry and proposes clearer labeling and certification standards. The findings suggest that establishing a dedicated NF standard can enhance product differentiation, improve consumer communication, and support sustainable supply chain management.
This papers shows that deforestation negatively affects orchid bee species diversity and that protected areas house the highest richness and abundance of orchid bees.
This Review supports SDG 3 by showing that people with disabilities in Latin America and the Carribean face inequities with regard to health-care access, including some evidence showing worse affordability and quality of care. Addressing data gaps will be important to more fully assess health equity among people with and without disabilities in this region.
This paper supports SDG 3 by providing further evidence of the trend of increased self-harm notifications and suicide rates in Brazil, suggesting the need for a greater allocation of resources to strategies to prevent self-harm and suicide.
From 2019 to 2022, a nationwide project funded by the GEF built and strengthened mechanisms to help conserve agrobiodiversity, and one of the territories chosen was the Purhépecha region (Michoacán). This paper systematises the project's impacts in the TASs of Michoacán and rescues the critical methodological elements that served for its successful implementation.
This study explores how literacies are intertwined with social practices and shaped by ethnolinguistic and cultural histories, based on research with Indigenous language learners and facilitators in Mexico.
Proper regulation is essential to ensure that such a system benefited those in need, and that those who provided organs are properly compensated. Without significant policy changes, however, far too many patients will continue to languish on waiting lists until they run out of time. The goal of SDG3 is that everyone should have a good health and well-being.
This Series paper supports SDGs 3 and 10 by describing health-care coverage and quality across the four countries, quantifying inequalities in these outcomes by socioeconomic status within country, and assessing the contribution of government, social security, and private health sectors to observed inequality.

In this chapter, we discuss various methods for synthesizing nanomaterials and their properties for application in energy generation. We also explore the practical applications of different nanomaterial-based energy-generating devices and their performance, positioning them as alternative technologies to traditional power sources. The chapter highlights the overall performance—thermal, electrical, and mechanical—of nanomaterial-based energy generators and examines the role of various nanomaterials in energy-harvesting devices. Finally, we address the current challenges in applying nanomaterials in energy generation.
Human health, in the coming decades (and already in some “front-running” regions), is in peril. Although some authorities warn that over-stating such risks can induce paralysis and despair, under-stating them will not generate the intense action that is required. The impact of climate change on the Earth system is now so significant that the next ice age will likely be delayed by at least 50,000 years [201]. If humans do not rapidly change their collective behavior, then this may be their most enduring legacy. It is hoped that this chapter makes a small contribution to SDG3.
