This book presents a captivating exploration of the often-overlooked experiences, challenges, and enduring triumphs of black farmers in America. It examines the historical roots, present-day realities, and future possibilities of Black farming in the United States through the lens of equity, land, and local food systems, tacing Black agriculture from slavery and Reconstruction to contemporary struggles and innovations. 

In this report by the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission revisits the questions in the 2024 False Economy of Big Food report -- how much does the UK’s current food system cost the nation through diet-related ill health; and how much additional household expenditure would be required to ensure access to a healthy diet for everyone. Using updated data it also takes into consideration new insights and research, published since the earlier work, highlighting the decline in health conditions and increase in food inequality within the country. 

While many factors drive low fertilizer usage in sub-Saharan Africa, high prices are key and a significant constrain for many smallholder farmers who have limited resources. Focusing specifically on the East and Southern Africa (ESA) region, this report shows that these high fertilizer prices are the consequence of highly concentrated markets that rely on imported fertilizers supplied by a limited number of companies.

This report estimates how many deaths linked to diet-related diseases could be delayed in the US each year if F&B companies shifted towards healthier product sales, making healthier foods become the norm. It models a scenario in which sales shift towards the healthiest 50% of products within each food category that are already available on the market, as defined by the Health Star Rating (HSR), an internationally recognised nutrient profiling system. 

This report by Action Against Hunger shows Two-thirds of the people facing extreme hunger are concentrated in ten countries. The World’s Hunger Hotspots analyses the countries with the highest numbers of people experiencing acute food insecurity, combining data from internationally recognized sources. 

This report by IPES-Food claims to exposes the systemic exploitation running through the global food chain – from farms, fishing vessels, and factories to supermarkets, restaurants, and delivery platforms. It also shows how workers are organising to win better pay, safer workplaces, and stronger labour rights – and sets out how governments, employers, and labour movements can build worker power, guarantee decent work and equal rights for migrant workers, rein in corporate power, and properly value the people who feed the world.

This review presents a systematic literature review of cybersecurity threats affecting digital food systems and supporting infrastructures. Findings show that integrity-related and access-oriented threats, including data manipulation, false data injection, tampering, unauthorized access, and system takeover, are frequently represented. 

This study argues that, despite minor leakage risks, a uniform social cost of carbon (SCC) approach offers the highest global mitigation potential but could harm health in some countries. SCC scenarios reflecting common but differentiated responsibility lower mitigation but lessen the negative health effects, and subsidies can improve health but lower mitigation.

This study assessed how well on-package claims signal overall nutritional quality. While products with claims are often associated with more favourable nutrient profiles at the market level, this pattern is inconsistent across claim types and product categories. Moreover, even when products carrying claims have more favourable nutrient profile scores, many remain classified as ‘less healthy’ under the UK's nutrient profile modelling.
