Read Image Journal articles What causes deforestation in Indonesia? According to this paper, 23% of deforestation in Indonesia between 2001 and 2016 was caused by palm oil plantations, 20% by conversion of forests to grasslands or shrublands (including conversion caused by fire), 15% by small-scale agriculture, 14% by timber plantations, and the remainder due to other causes including logging roads, mining and fish ponds. Read Image News and resources Food justice resource list A database of resources on the topic of food justice has been created by Community Centred Knowledge and the People's Knowledge group at the Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience. The list includes blogs, journal articles, books, audio, video and other online resources. Read Image News and resources Audio series: The price of climate These three audio reports from the Wall Street Journal explore the impact of climate change on commercial fisheries, cattle genetically engineered to tolerate higher temperatures, and how advances in artificial intelligence and genetics could help farmers to withstand crop disease and droughts. Read Image Books Alternative food networks: an interdisciplinary assessment This book, edited by Alessandro Corsi, Filippo Barbera, Egidio Dansero and Cristiana Peano, discusses the prospects for the development of alternative food networks and uses the Italian region of Piedmont as a case study to look at alternative food networks from a variety of perspectives. Read Image Books Routledge handbook of food as a commons This book, edited by Jose Luis Vivero-Pol, Tomaso Ferrando, Olivier De Schutter and Ugo Mattei, engages with different schools of thought on how food can be treated as a commons rather than a privatised commodity. Read Image Reports Less and Better takes off - impact report by Eating Better The UK Eating Better alliance has released an impact report detailing the progress of its Less and Better campaign (which calls for people to eat less but ‘better’ meat) during 2017 and 2018, including publications, related actions by third parties, and social media statistics. Read Image Reports Obesity, undernutrition, and climate change This report from The Lancet Commission identifies the drivers behind what it terms ‘The Global Syndemic’, i.e. co-occurring pandemics, of obesity, undernutrition and climate change. The report finds that no country has successfully reversed its epidemic of obesity because the underlying causes have not been solved. Read Image Journal articles The relationship between soil organic matter and crop yields This paper models the relationship between soil organic matter and yields of maize and wheat, finding that while higher soil organic carbon (a proxy for soil organic matter) levels do generally correspond to higher yields, the yields taper off at around 2% soil organic matter.
