The dynamics of wild and alternative meat consumption across Gabon, Central Africa

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐term overharvesting of wild animals for their meat threatens wildlife and the people dependent on wild animal meat for their diets and incomes. Interventions to reduce wild meat consumption must be built upon a complete understanding of the roles of wild meat and its alternatives within food systems.

Integrating tunable LED‐induced plant responses with novel solar cell technologies for energy‐efficient agrivoltaic systems

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The increasing demand for sustainable food production requires innovative solutions that balance productivity, resource efficiency, and environmental impact. Vertical Farming Systems (VFSs) offer a promising approach; however, their high energy consumption remains challenging.

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...

Reconsidering how to dry orthodox seeds for improved ex situ conservation outcomes

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Ex situ seed conservation is an essential tool in our efforts to conserve wild and cultivated plant diversity, as mentioned in the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation and the Sustainable Development Goals. While there are established standards which seed banks follow, it is important that we continue to evaluate protocols and optimize processes ...

The Neuroprotective Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate (Punica granatum)

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
The Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate on Neurodegeneration. ABSTRACT Pomegranate is an exceptional fruit that can have several beneficial effects on human health. The peel of pomegranate, a waste product, should be recovered as it still contains valuable constituents, including phenolic compounds, minerals and fibre. The recovery of
