This paper identifies six key elements of the Paris Climate Agreement and discusses how they could be applied to the challenge of tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) at the global level. The elements are: a collective global goal; a focus on social and economic transformation; nationally determined contributions that become more ambitious over time; an annual multi-stakeholder forum; global scientific stock-taking every five years; and an international legal framework. Most of these elements are not yet in place in relation to AMR.

This report from the Global Alliance for the Future of Food presents 14 case studies of countries that have incorporated food systems into their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) towards meeting the climate goals of the Paris Agreement. It finds that most of the 14 countries have focused their climate efforts on food production as opposed to other parts of the food system such as diet, waste, processing and transport. Many of the assessed NDCs emphasise agroecology and regenerative agriculture as well as ecosystem protection. While many NDCs discuss food systems resilience in the face of climate change, few have put concrete adaptation measures in place.

UK NGO Eating Better reports that the UK’s four biggest supermarkets (Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda and Morrisons) are using promotions such as multi-buy or price reduction to encourage meat sales. The report argues that this contradicts the climate commitments made by supermarkets.

This report by the Nature Friendly Farming Network, Pesticide Action Network UK and RSPB finds that the UK’s “Red Tractor” food standards label fails to support farmers in reducing pesticide use. It also reports a gap in perceptions of the Red Tractor label between retailers and consumers: retailers see the label as only a guarantee that farmers adhere to national pesticide regulations, while consumers are under the impression that the label indicates more sustainable production practices. The report includes excerpts of a response from Red Tractor.

This report summarises the work of National Convenors of Food Systems Summit Dialogues in the period following the United Nations Food Systems Summit held in September 2021, with a focus on how “national pathways” are being used to guide national and regional food systems transformations. It argues that there is an urgent need for financing long-term food systems transformations.

This book offers a holistic study of traditional Mexican agriculture, examining how it has changed according to environmental, climatic, geographical, social and cultural conditions. It sets out practices and knowledge that can inform sustainable agroecological systems.

This book, aimed at a non-specialist audience, discusses our relationships with animals, how they feel from the animals' perspectives and how we can improve them. It considers the future of humane, sustainable agriculture.

This infographic from international NGO WWF illustrates how much soy, in the form of animal feed, goes into producing animal products such as pork, cheese, salmon, yoghurt and eggs. It also explains the impacts of soy production on land use and ecosystem conversion.

A new initiative, Good Dog Food, has been launched to develop “healthy, ethical, and sustainable” lab-grown pet food. The initiative is a joint venture between Scottish biotechnology business Roslin Technologies and venture capital firm Agronomics.
