The article examines the role of data interoperability in advancing sustainable food systems with a specific focus on climate change. It highlights the challenges posed by the lack of integrated databases covering critical areas like climate change, agricultural practices, and nutrition. The study uses USDA FoodData Central as a case study to visualize existing data connections and identify gaps. It advocates for the development of ontologies and crosswalks to create a harmonized data framework, which is essential for understanding and mitigating the environmental impacts of food production.

This study analyses future changes in heat wave characteristics in India. Future projections show a four-to-seven-fold increase in heat wave frequency, providing a baseline for developing transformational heat-resilient policies and adaptation measures

The environmental burden of food consumption is high in affluent countries like Sweden, and the global food system is accountable for between 21 and 37% of the total anthropogenic global greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE). This paper claims that interventions to improve dietary intake and reduce dietary greenhouse gas emissions (dGHGE) are urgently needed and that adolescence presents a unique time in life to promote sustainable diets. Conclucsion are that food choices and dGHGE per calorie differ by sex in adolescents. Thus, intervention strategies to improve dietary sustainability need to be tailored differently to females and males. Diet quality should also be considered when promoting reduced GHGE diets.

This Article supports SDGs 3, 10, and 13 by evaluating the effect of ambient temperature on mobility within large cities and urban areas, particularly focusing on the subway system in New York city.
