This report from the Corporate Accountability Lab explores how American fair trade organisations protect the image of corporations more than the rights of their workers by analysing case studies on horticultural farms in Mexico.

This report from the Transforming UK Food Systems Strategic Priority Fund explores the relationships between civil society organisations and food systems researchers under ‘knowledge-policy interfaces’ in pursuit of more impactful and transformative food policy in the UK.

This report investigates the potential for legume intensification in Africa and suggests a four-point strategy to be used by policymakers, government agencies, agricultural researchers, food producers, international organisations, and non-governmental organisations.

This article focuses on the impact of gender inequality on women’s vulnerability, resilience and response to  climate change impacts. The researchers explore how patriarchal norms limit women’s access to climate-smart adaptation strategies and how policies targeted at climate action fail to overcome this structural inequality.

Researchers identify, via a systematic review process, three major narratives that have emerged around the ‘protein transition’. These include the consumer narrative, the techno-centred narrative, and the socio-technological narrative. This paper explores the associated challenges and key policy priorities associated with each narrative.

This article takes an economic approach to projecting future scenarios for the global fish market and is intended to guide policy around aquaculture regulations. It presents different scenarios for aquaculture and fisheries production projections up to 2030 and highlights the potential implications for food security. The authors identify a gap in future food security literature, both within literature focused on fish and the literature more broadly, that has lacked incorporation of the impact of supply and demand due to changes in food prices, household income, and consumer preferences.

This paper gives an overview of the prospects for algae production as a source of protein as well as other nutrients including vitamins, beta-carotene and polyunsaturated fatty acids in Europe. The authors examine algae as a source of protein, the current European protein market and challenges and opportunities for production in Europe.

This paper adds to the literature on modelling agricultural land-use demand in 2050 given a growing global population, climate change-induced changes in yields, and projections for as-yet unrealised technological improvements. The main innovation of this study is to constrain the amount of dietary change that can be included in the model. Consequently, this model includes much more regional dietary variation than do other such projections, and much higher ASF consumption than many. The authors find that, contrary to previous studies, several regions cannot achieve food security without expanding agricultural land use. In particular, more pasture land is needed, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. In a wider group of regions, producing sufficient food without increasing agricultural land use only appears possible if we assume an optimistic scenario for increasing yields

Human Rights Watch has reported that the Israeli government is starving civilians, a recognized war crime, as a military tactic. High ranking Israeli officials have publicly supported a complete blockage of humanitarian aid including food and water.
