Understanding the Evidence Gaps: Diets and Fruit and Vegetable Intake Across Five Diverse Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
This perspective article synthesizes findings from scoping reviews examining diet and F&V intake, and interventions to increase F&V consumption among population groups in five countries: Benin, Fiji, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Tanzania. ABSTRACT Poor dietary quality, particularly inadequate fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake, remains a significant ...

Plant‐Based Diet and Sleep Quality in Adults: Exploring the Role of Lifestyle and Health Mediators

Nutrition Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the association between plant‐based dietary indices (PDI) and sleep quality and examined the mediating roles of lifestyle and health‐related factors. A total of 5260 participants (18–65 years) were included. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). PDI—including overall (oPDI), healthy

Unravelling Mechanisms of Acquired Drought Tolerance by Priming in Tomato Using Integrative Multi‐Omics Phenotypic Analysis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The escalating frequency and intensity of recent droughts threaten global crop production and food security. Although drought priming is crucial for plant drought resilience, the mechanisms imparting drought stress memory remain poorly understood, especially in crops such as tomato. This study elucidates the mechanisms of drought stress memory

Screening for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) Resistance in Early‐Maturing Tropical Maize Adapted to Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Sustainable Aquaculture Industry in Kenya: Mapping Inputs for Fish Feed, Constraints, and Opportunities for Youth Involvement

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2027.
The cost of aquafeed continues to constrain aquaculture production amidst the availability of locally available ingredients for feed formulation and technological opportunities. Information dissemination and innovative rethinking on the utilization of local opportunities and youthful labor may spur the growth of the sector, thus improving fish protein.

Simulating Agroecology Policy Options for the Resilience of Smallholder Food Security to Climate Shocks

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Climate shocks and the agroecology–resilience nexus of smallholders. Summary of key findings: Agroecology increases smallholder resilience capacity by 8.7% in the short term under a decreased rainfall scenario, a projected 11% decline in precipitation reduces resilience by 5.6% and 14.2% in the short and long terms, respectively, and a policy‐induced ...
