Valorizing staple Native American food plants as a food resilience resource

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023
IntroductionIncreased risks from global climate change and sun-blocking global catastrophic risks (such as a nuclear winter), warrant the reevaluation of our food systems and their resilience to these climatic changes.

Open source software toolchain for automated non‐targeted screening for toxins in alternative foods

MethodsX, 2021
Previous published methods for non-targeted screening of toxins in alternative foods such as leaf concentrate, agricultural residues or plastic fed to biological consortia are time consuming and expensive and thus present accessibility, as well as, time ...

Potential of microbial electrosynthesis for contributing to food production using CO2 during global agriculture-inhibiting disasters

Cleaner Engineering and Technology, 2021
A sun-blocking global catastrophic risk (GCR) such as a nuclear winter could completely collapse the agricultural system. Producing alternative foods through methods requiring little to no sunlight has been identified as a cost-effective response to ...

THE GLOBALIZING WORLD AND THE REALITY OF GLOBAL RISKS AND CATASTROPHES

Journal of Bio-Based Marketing, 2023
This article is devoted to the possible emergence of global risks in the form of catastrophes that change the development of the Earth's space. Thus, the author motivates the necessity of measuring in advance the risks faced by nature and humanity in order to overcome these real threats and their consequences. The author analyzes the concept of "global

6. Natural Global Catastrophic Risks

, 2023
To what extent is humanity vulnerable to natural catastrophic risks such as large-magnitude volcanic eruptions and Near-Earth Object impacts? And what does this risk landscape look like? This chapter explores the current state of research on natural catastrophic risks and considers how the latter are often underestimated, although their impact on our ...

Preliminary Automated Determination of Edibility of Alternative Foods: Non-Targeted Screening for Toxins in Red Maple Leaf Concentrate

Plants, 2019
Alternative food supplies could maintain humanity despite sun-blocking global catastrophic risks (GCRs) that eliminate conventional agriculture. A promising alternative food is making leaf concentrate.
