Food plant diversity in a rapidly changing world

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Diversity in food plants is essential to human and planetary health. On farms, in diets, and in many other areas of food systems, this diversity has undergone enormous change globally, including significant decline. We describe major trends in how food plant diversity has been changing, note the responses from conservation communities, highlight gaps ...

Climate‐smart land management: Greenhouse gas outcomes and social and economic pathways to adoption

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to natural and working lands, reducing the resilience of agricultural and forest productivity. Because land management is a leading source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate‐smart management practices are being implemented to reduce net emissions while sustaining yields.

Scope of agroecology during the agroecological transition of the local food system

Journal of Applied Biotechnology and Bioengineering
The agroecological transition towards sustainable food systems is a relatively recent topic of research. One of the challenges is to have reference frameworks to articulate the agroecological transition with the different agri-food processes that are carried out in the territories.

Responsible agrivoltaics in temperate Europe: Making systems work for plants, people, and climate

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Conceptual framework illustrating the three conditions for responsible AV in temperate regions: sustained plant productivity across rotations, preservation of soil and hydrological integrity, and social license for landscape integration. Multi‐site European evidence highlights how design choices shape trade‐offs among these dimensions.

Soil quality changes along an agroecological transition: Evidence from natural farming in Madhya Pradesh, India

Environmental and Sustainability Indicators
The scale and intensity of current agricultural practices have negative impacts on soil quality. Shifting to agroecological and natural farming practices, which replace chemical inputs with biological inputs and processes, can reduce these impacts.

Expansion of the Brazilian Sugarcane Bioenergy System Promotes Greenhouse Emission Reductions and Sustainable Development Without Compromising Food Security

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing global demand for biofuels has raised concern about compromising food security. This study uses two independent economy‐wide models to evaluate the impact of expanding the Brazilian sugarcane bioenergy system on economic growth, social outcomes and food security.

Climate‐Resilient Agri‐Food Systems (CRAFS): A Review of Approaches and Outcomes of Agri‐Food Systems

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is increasingly destabilizing agri‐food systems globally, with complex disruptions extending across production, distribution, and consumption. In response, climate‐resilient agri‐food system (CRAFS) approaches have gained prominence as a means to sustain food security under escalating climatic stressors.
