This paper argues that food expenditure patterns of lower-income countries are not adopting diets of affluent countries contrary to the belief that globalisation, income-growth and cultural trends are causing a shift in diet. The researchers analyse food expenditure patterns, including ultra-processed foods, in 90 different countries. 

This article explores the land-use competition of biofuel production, solar farms on agricultural land and food security. It argues that solar farms produce multitudes more energy than biofuels while allowing for crop production underneath, easing the land-use trade-off between food production, energy production and farm income. 

This paper argues that AI could transform the way we produce, distribute and manage food in a more resilient and food-secure manner. It outlines the current uses of AI in agriculture and discusses the potential uses in sectors such as crop breeding, water resource management and food waste. 

Can farmers and the cultured meat industry find common cause? This report explores what UK farmers think about cultured meat and how the technology could affect them.

This report by the Breakthrough Institute argues for a more interventionist approach to decarbonising the food system by the US government, making up for the shortfall in private investment.

The report by Rockefeller Foundation, Pollination Group and Transformational Investing in Food Systems makes the case for more investment in regenerative agriculture, arguing that investors underestimate and mischaracterize the risks involved in conventional agriculture. It suggests that a transition to regenerative food systems will not only create positive social and environmental benefits but also significant financial returns.

It provides a comprehensive coverage of subjects related to food and addiction, from how the brain processes food reward and the role of the gut-microbiome in addictive eating, the contribution of industry tactics to the creation of addictive foods, and behavioural, neurological, and pharmacologic interventions, as well as the clinical, public health, legal, and policy implications of recognizing the validity of food addiction
