Read Image Resource Report: Future Nordic diets: Exploring ways for sustainably feeding the Nordics This report from the Nordic Council of Ministers assesses two future food scenarios for the Nordic countries on the basis of nutrition and environmental impacts. Read Image Resource National contributions to climate change mitigation from agriculture: allocating a global target This paper calculates country-level mitigation targets for agricultural non-CO2 greenhouse gases (GHGs) based on a variety of allocation methods. This study claims to be the first to calculate national mitigation contributions for the agricultural sector that are consistent with meeting the 2°C target. Read Image Resource Crop intensification, land use, and on-farm energy-use efficiency during the worldwide spread of the green revolution This article explains the technological changes behind the three-fold increase in global crop production between 1961 and 2014, i.e. since the Green Revolution. It examines the 58 countries that are responsible for 95% of food production and assesses the impacts of changes in land use, inputs and efficiency. Read Image Resource How effective are messages and their characteristics in changing behavioural intentions to substitute plant-based foods for red meat? The mediating role of prior beliefs In this study, researchers investigated two message strategies – message framing and the refutation of misinformation – to evaluate their effectiveness in persuading consumers to reduce meat consumption and increase the intake of plant-based alternatives. The study also takes into account people’s prior beliefs (previous knowledge or factual beliefs) about the health and climate impacts of red meat consumption.

Read Image Resource French food waste law changing how grocery stores approach excess food Since 2016, French grocery stores have been banned from throwing away edible food. This story examines the effects of the new law. For example, donations to food banks have increased in quantity and quality.
