Background: Improving nutrition for all requires understanding how interventions influence nutrition inequalities within society.
The chapter aligns well with the SDGs, especially SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by promoting modifiable factors for healthy aging. It also supports SDG 5 (Gender Equality) through its emphasis on sex-specific needs and the importance of sex-disaggregated data. The focus on nutrition, education about activity and sleep, and reducing risky behaviors links to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) and SDG 11 (inclusive communities). To fully meet SDG targets, the chapter should explicitly address equitable access, policy implementation, and routine monitoring using sex-disaggregated indicators.
Global water savings can be achieved by trading crops from countries with higher to lower water productivity.
By minimizing food waste and optimizing production through predictive analytics and real-time monitoring, as well as by enhancing product quality and safety to improve food security and access to nutritious food the proposed framework reaches optimum organic food production. The alignment of production with demand forecasts also helps reduce waste and ensure the availability of the right products.
This study takes a hybrid approach for predicting features of future food security in China
REFRESH is a practical, reliable tool for assessing dietary patterns that benefit both human health and the environment. Its simplicity and strong validity make it suitable for clinical, epidemiological, and self-assessment purposes, enabling broader promotion and adoption of sustainable healthy diets. By bridging the gap between health and sustainability in diet evaluation, REFRESH supports health professionals and the public in making informed dietary choices, contributing to improved health outcomes and reduced environmental impacts.
Multiple-season farming is linked to greater crop diversity, higher food consumption, and improved food security—especially for better-off and male-headed households—though it shows no significant effect on child nutrition. This approach also suggests potential benefits for household resilience, highlighting the need to support poorer and female-headed households in accessing resources for multiple-season cultivation.
