Read Image Journal articles Achieving conservation and restoration outcomes through ecologically beneficial aquaculture Aquaculture, the culturing of aquatic organisms, was estimated to have a total global production of 122.6 million tonnes in 2020. This makes it crucial to achieving food security but it can have negative environmental impacts and lead to habitat degradation and destruction. Read Image Journal articles La Via Campesina – transforming agrarian and knowledge politics, and co-constructing a field: a laudatio This article discusses how La Via Campesina (LVC) has transformed agrarian politics and anti-capitalist movements to promote an alternative future for the agrarian world. LVC is an international peasants' movement, founded in 1993, that as of 2023 has 182 member organisations in 81 countries and represents roughly 200 million peasants, small to medium-sized farmers, and landless rural labourers. Whilst LVC is primarily agrarian and anti-capitalist in its composition and politics, it also includes elements of food, environmental, and climate justice politics. Read Image Journal articles Sevenfold variation in global feeding capacity depends on diets, land use and nitrogen management The number of people in the world that could theoretically be fed depends on how much food can be produced, as well as factors such as dietary composition (particularly the balance between crop and animal products) and what agricultural land is used for which purpose (cropping versus grazing). The potential for agricultural production is itself critically dependent on nitrogen availability. Nitrogen can be delivered in the form of mineral or organic fertiliser. While nitrogen is an essential input into agricultural production, nitrogen pollution is a major problem, with the degree of pollution caused a function of the quantity of nitrogen produced as well as the efficiency of its uptake and use by crops ( these will be influenced by climatic and other biophysical factors) - the Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE). Read Image Journal articles Low-Income Families' Direct Participation in Food-Systems Innovation to Promote Healthy Food Behaviors Low-income families residing in food deserts in the US face significant systemic barriers that limit access to affordable and nutritious food. This action research study took as its case study an evolving social enterprise, Food Forward, to examine how marginalized community members engage, build capacities, and exercise agency in the social innovation of food systems, and to identify early indicators of changes in food behaviour. Read Image Reports EPA 2019 Wasted Food Report: Estimates of generation and management of wasted food in the United States in 2019 This report from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) serves as an update to the 2018 Wasted Food Report and provides detailed estimates, by sector and management pathway, of 2019 wasted food estimates. Read Image Reports Feeding Us Greenwash: An analysis of misleading claims in the food sector This report from the Changing Markets Foundation exposes greenwashing within the food industry and explores how consumers respond to environmental and sustainability claims made by companies. Read Image Reports Eating for Net Zero: How diet shift can enable a nature positive net-zero transition in the UK This report published by WWF-UK lays out how UK population diets can become more healthy and sustainable and how that shift can support national climate and nature targets. Read Image Books We Belong: An Anthology of Colombian Women Coffee Farmers This book provides a collection of intimate photographs accompanied by short vignettes, bringing the lives of 25 Colombian women coffee farmers into sharp focus. Author and photographer Lucia Bawot shatters conventional one-dimensional portrayals of female coffee producers to highlight the full spectrum of their life experiences. Read VIEW MORE
