Read Image Resource Mass food and nutrition data available to the Swiss public through website The Swiss institute ‘Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne’ (EPFL) has launched Openfood.ch, a website that provides the public with data on more than 14,000 food products sold in Switzerland. Read Image Resource Special report series about EU CAP, food and agricultural profitability In light of the talks about the post-2020 Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), Euractiv has begun a special series of articles about agriculture in Europe. Read Image Resource Free eBook: Sustainable Food Systems: The Role of the City by Robert Biel This is a free eBook, which can also be ordered in hardback and paperback from UCL press. Read Image Resource Nexus2020: The most important research questions for business sustainability The Nexus2020 project has published a report in which academics and business leaders worked together to identify the most important questions around sustainability for businesses. It specifically focuses on so-called ‘nexus’ issues: the interconnections between food, water, energy and the natural environment. Read Image Resource Report on investment for environmental impact This comprehensive Future Brief from Science for Environment Policy examines the research around ‘impact investment’; those investments which are directed towards generating measurable social and/or environmental impacts, in addition to a financial return. The report focuses on investments in Europe, although it includes a case study of sustainable teak plantation in Panama. Read Image Resource No short term difference in weight loss and health markers between a diet high in carbohydrates and one very high in saturated fats This randomized controlled study looked at how obese Norwegian men were affected by a diet very high in the intake of total and saturated fat, as compared to one high in carbohydrates, while controlling for intake of energy, protein, and polyunsaturated fats and food types. Read Image Resource Climate change feedback: global soil carbon losses in response to warming This paper in Nature addresses the question of whether a warming planet leads to increased CO2 emissions through heightened activity by soil microbes. It finds that this positive feedback mechanism exists and is likely to be of great importance in the future global carbon budget. Read Image Resource The growing role of methane (and agriculture) in anthropogenic climate change This editorial piece in Environmental Research Letters highlights the fact that, as opposed to CO2 emissions, those of the powerful greenhouse gas methane are currently rising faster than at any point in the last twenty years. Around two-thirds of global emissions of methane are attributable to anthropogenic activities, with agriculture and related land use change identified as a main culprit. Read VIEW MORE
