The article dicusses the need for early, culturally grounded interventions to support healthy beverage habits among Navajo and other Indigenous children. While early childhood education programs are generally promoting healthy choices, most children remain at risk due to inadequate hydration and high sugar-sweetened beverage intake, compounded by ongoing challenges in water accessibility and safety. Strengthening access to safe drinking water and leveraging Indigenous cultural traditions can serve as protective factors, supporting better health outcomes and reducing disparities in diet-related diseases for American Indian children. Future efforts should focus on community engagement and culturally responsive strategies to sustain healthy habits.

This study compares traditional Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) and emerging water electrolysis methods (PEMEC and SOEC) for ammonia production, evaluating their economic viability and CO2 emissions under varying electricity prices and carbon intensities. Results show that PEMEC is most cost-effective at very low electricity prices, SOEC gains competitiveness as prices rise, and SMR is preferable above 0.08 €/kWhe, with CO2 emissions depending heavily on electricity carbon intensity; projections indicate SOEC will become highly cost-competitive by 2030–2040.
