This study finds substituting 10% of the protein intake from conventional meat sources with meat alternatives can lead to an average reduction of 3.4%, 10.7% and 4.5% in the required nitrogen fertilizer, manure and water footprint, respectively. This substitution could potentially decrease the risk of excess nitrate in groundwater by up to ~20%.

Researchers find that daily energy expenditures are greater in developed populations challenging the hypothesis that decreased physical activity contributes to rises in obesity with economic development, based on 4,213 adults from 34 populations across six continents and a wide range of lifestyles and economies. Instead, our results suggest that dietary intake plays a far greater role than reduced expenditure in the elevated prevalence of obesity associated with economic development.

This study finds over a third of all countries worldwide cannot meet self-sufficiency for more than two of seven food groups. Only one country can meet all seven groups, Guyana. Low self-sufficiency and overdependence on a few countries for imports threaten their capability to respond to global shocks, particularly for small states.

This event was hosted by TABLE with support from the Food Standards Agency and the United Nations Foundation on 14 July 2025 and took the form of a panel discussion moderated by Tara Garnett (Director, TABLE) with:Dr Hanna Tuomisto (University of Helsinki);Dr Philip Howard (Michigan State University);Joel Scott-Halkes (Wild Card/WePlanet);Jennifer Dodsworth (University of Oxford & tenant hill farmer in Cumbria).This webinar is the second in a three-part series.

This book follows journalist Dom Philips and Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira who were mudered in the Amazon. It asks the question how can we save the Amazon in the face of ranching, forest fires, mining, the drug trade and urbanisation that has degraded and deforested millions of acres of rainforest. 

This book analyzes past and present efforts at challenging global poverty through reforming the dynamics of worldwide agricultural production.

This booklet by Foodrise investigates the growing biomethane sector and argues it is inefficient, expensive and locks Europe into fossil infrastructure and industrial livestock production. 

This report by IPES-Food finds that food systems now consume 40% of all petrochemicals and 15% of fossil fuels globally – making them a key growth frontier for Big Oil. Yet food remains glaringly absent from the climate conversation.

This report by Grain examines the state of corporate concentration in six sectors critical to agriculture: commercial seeds, pesticides, synthetic fertilisers, farm machinery, animal pharmaceuticals and livestock genetics.
