This study analyzed 118 life-cycle assessment (LCA) studies on GHG emissions of food production, considering LCA methods, life cycle phase, waste inclusion, and regional factors, including country, continent, and development status. It found only 22% of studies include waste, revealing up to 39% higher emissions in some categories compared to those excluding waste.

This discourse analysis of sustainable intensification and agroecology proponents found both claim to have the solution to agricultural sustainability but are largely inexplicit about their guiding assumptions and their own limitations, and rarely engage with research in the other discourse.

This paper critically reviews existing scenarios on global food systems, published by key organizations and authors, to identify common themes of plausible food system futures, the key uncertainties and emerging radical ideas. It found radical scenarios have not significantly evolved but have taken on new dimensions, and consumption patterns, technology, and investment influence food systems significantly. 

Hundreds of millions of African consumers rely daily on a vast network of smallholder farmers, wholesalers, and retailers within the informal economy. Yet, national governments and foreign agencies continue to rely on conventional economic development models that often fail in these contexts. Why do we keep applying such misfitting approaches when informality is clearly central to feeding Africa?

This study calculated the emissions of beef, pork and chicken eaten in every city and town in the U.S. It found that emissions intensity differ by up to 345%, depending on where the animals were raised and what type of production system. 

This report by the UN's Institute for Water, Environment and Health finds that although agricultural trade disproportionately benefits the rich and widens both the water scarcity and inequity gap between the poor and the rich. Notably, in developing countries, the population (35%) suffering from both increased water scarcity and inequity are the poorest group (per capita income is 16% lower than average). 

This report by UNICEF examines how unhealthy food environments are shaping children’s and adolescents’ diets and contributing to the surge in overweight and obesity. It presents data on the status, trends and inequities in overweight and obesity in children and adolescents, and projects when obesity will overtake underweight as the more prevalent form of malnutrition.
