The chapter aligns strongly with the SDGs—especially SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality)—by highlighting women’s role in nutrition‑sensitive agriculture, dietary diversity, and food security. It also advances SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 3 (Good Health), SDG 8 (Decent Work), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 17 (Partnerships) via empowerment, climate‑smart practices and cooperative models. To be more explicit, the chapter should cite specific SDG targets and indicators (e.g., women’s land ownership rates, household dietary diversity scores) and outline monitoring and financing mechanisms. Including clear attention to marginalized groups and a brief M&E framework would further strengthen its policy relevance and accountability.
This study projects China's agricultural environmental impacts under different socioeconomic pathways, showing that sustainable development (SSP1) could reduce impacts by up to 76% by 2050, while less cooperative scenarios (SSP3) may lead to smaller reductions or increases. The results highlight the critical influence of agricultural policies in driving environmental sustainability and decarbonization across China's regions.

In this round up of 2024, we share the Special Collections published on the SDG Resource Centre throughout the year, featuring more than 800 research articles and book chapters made freely available to advance knowledge and accelerate the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
Rapidly increasing human population and food animal populations are correlated with emergence of new zoonotic infectious diseases. Dependence on a few species of plants and animals for most human food may contribute to food insecurity.
The article concludes that the Mediterranean diet (MD) stands out as a model for sustainable and healthy eating, offering significant benefits for both human and planetary health. While it does not outperform vegetarian or vegan diets in terms of environmental impact, its nutritional quality, cultural acceptance, and moderate environmental footprint make it a practical and valuable dietary pattern. To maximize its benefits, policy and educational efforts should promote MD adherence and integrate sustainability considerations into dietary recommendations, addressing the challenges posed by globalization and shifting food preferences. Standardizing environmental impact measurements and considering broader sustainability indicators remain important areas for future research.
