This article is a review of the global commitments to ending hunger and achieving SDG2 by 2030, analisesthe rhetoric, actionable plans, financing, and accountability mechanisms. Strengthening global governance and institutionalizing monitoring of commitments are essential to translate these declarations into effective national policies.
This chapter supports SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) by exploring how nanotechnology can improve sustainable agricultural practices, improving productivity and resource efficiency. It also aligns with SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by promoting green nanotechnology approaches that minimize environmental impact in agriculture.
Drawing inspiration from recent European Union agricultural and environmental policy reforms, this study examines the barriers between scientific advancements, farm-scale applications, and the implementation of agricultural policies.
Food waste is an increasing global food security concern. This commentary discusses the drivers behind the growth of food waste with economic growth in particular linked with increasing food waste.
Consumers' negative emotions like food neophobia and disgust, driven by evolutionary risk assessment mechanisms, hinder acceptance of future foods. To promote sustainable food innovation, these behavioral responses must be addressed, as novel foods often signal danger and are readily rejected despite their safety.
This perspective highlights strategies for modeling salt tolerance mechanisms, including root system architecture adaptation, salt filtration, adaptation of plant hydraulics, ion compartmentalization, and stomatal responses, to improve model representation and prediction.
The study demonstrates that adopting more climate-friendly diets, which typically involve reduced animal-based food consumption and lower absolute micronutrient intakes, does not substantially increase the risk of micronutrient deficiencies for most nutrients. These findings underscore the importance of assessing both dietary intake and actual nutrient status when evaluating the nutritional consequences of sustainable eating patterns, supporting the potential health and environmental benefits of shifting toward climate-friendly diets.
This study takes a hybrid approach for predicting features of future food security in China
This study explores whether international crop trade can alleviate global water stress using a virtual scarce water saving/loss indicator and refined trade matrices for 109 crops across 150 countries.
