Landmark NUS events and key publications by Padulosi, Stefano, Hunter, Danny

“…Current interest in NUS is the result of a number of factors, among which are the greater awareness of the role played by more diverse diets in bettering peoples’ lives, and the realization that diversification in crop production systems is urgently needed in order to fight the pervasive effects of climate change. Other reasons behind this favourable moment for NUS include calls for producing and consuming locally as a way to reduce agriculture’s carbon footprint, greater attention paid to safeguarding traditional crops and associated practices including food recipes to safeguard our own cultures, the need to turn abandoned marginalized land into productive areas, and the pursuit of opportunities that would help raise the incomes of women, youth and other vulnerable members of society. …”

Model-based scenarios for achieving net negative emissions in the food system by Almaraz, Maya, Houlton, Benjamin, Clark, Michael, Holzer, Iris, Zhou, Yanqiu, Vang, Laura, Moberg, Emily, Manaigo, Erin, Halpern, Benjamin, Scarborough, Courtney, Lei, Xin, Ho, Melissa, Allison, Edward (Eddie), Sibanda, Lindiwe Majele, Salter, Andrew

“…Most climate mitigation scenarios point to a combination of GHG emission reductions and CO2 removal for avoiding the most dangerous climate change impacts this century. The global food system is responsible for ~1/3 of GHG emissions and thus plays an important role in reaching emission targets. …”
