Orchard systems offer low-hanging fruit for low-carbon, biodiversity-friendly farming por Wyckhuys, Kris A.G., Abram, Paul K, Barrios, Edmundo, Cancino, Jorge, Collatz, Jana, Fancelli, Marilene, Klein, Alexandra-Maria, Lindell, Catherine A., Osterman, Julia, Pinto, Maria, Tang, Fiona H.M., Tena, Alejandro, Elkahky, Maged

“…However, high-intensity orchard management can lessen the human and environmental health benefits of fruticulture. In the present article, we argue that increased emphasis on biological control could contribute to preventative manage- ment of fruit pests, weeds, and diseases, resulting in pesticide phasedown. …”

Climate change and nutrition: Creating a climate for nutrition security por Tirado, Maria Cristina, Crahay, Philippe, Mahy, Lina, Zanev, Catherine, Neira, Maria, Msangi, Siwa, Brown, Rebecca, Scaramella, Carlo, Costa Coitinho, Denise, Müller, Alexander

“…Undernutrition in turn undermines climate resilience and the coping strategies of vulnerable populations.The objectives of this paper are to identify and undertake a cross-sectoral analysis of the impacts of climate change on nutrition security and the existing mechanisms, strategies, and policies to address them.A cross-sectoral analysis of the impacts of climate change on nutrition security and the mechanisms and policies to address them was guided by an analytical framework focused on the three ‘underlying causes’ of undernutrition: 1) household food access, 2) maternal and child care and feeding practices, 3) environmental health and health access. The analytical framework includes the interactions of the three underlying causes of undernutrition with climate change, vulnerability, adaptation and mitigation.Within broad efforts on climate change mitigation and adaptation and climate-resilient development, a combination of nutrition-sensitive adaptation and mitigation measures, climate-resilient and nutrition-sensitive agricultural development, social protection, improved maternal and child care and health, nutrition-sensitive risk reduction and management, community development measures, nutrition-smart investments, increased policy coherence, and institutional and cross-sectoral collaboration are proposed as a means to address the impacts of climate change to food and nutrition security. …”

Affordability and nutritional challenges for the future of EAT diets: An economic modelling analysis por Mishra, Abhijeet, Sulser, Timothy B., Gabriel, Sherwin, Cenacchi, Nicola, Dunston, Shahnila, Headey, Derek D., Herrero, Mario, Mason-D'Croz, Daniel, Wiebe, Keith D.

“…The decreasing price index for the cheapest two commodities reflects market adjustments to changes in demand and supply under scenario assumptions aligned with 2025 EAT–Lancet Commission goals for jointly improved human and environmental health. The observed nutrient deficiencies suggest the 2025 EAT–Lancet Commission diet limits on animal-sourced foods might be too strict for lower-income countries, which could exacerbate nutrient deficiencies in contexts where access to animal sourced foods is already low (eg, vitamin A), especially if there is no access to supplementation for meeting these nutritional requirements or other sources of dietary nutrients.…”

Biological control: a major component for the longterm cowpea pest management strategy por Tamò, Manuele, Srinivasan, R., Dannou, E.A., Agboton, C., Datinon, B., Dabiré, C., Baoua, I., Ba, Malick N., Haruna, B., Pittendrigh, Barry Robert

“…Using synthetic pesticides as the first line of defense against insect pests is not considered a sustainable component of a long-term management strategy for various reasons, but mainly because of human and environmental health considerations. Hence, the development of biological-control-based interventions becomes an attractive and essential activity in cowpea pest management. …”
