In this editorial overview, we provide mini-reviews of insects' utility to achieve the SDGs, taking examples from both temperate and tropical countries.
This article advances SDG 2 by exploring the role of food science and technology in humanitarian responses and the importance of addressing the requirements of consumers within local food systems.
This paper focuses on reducing post-harvest losses of foods, using dried apples with a longer shelf life as an example. Implementing the results from this paper will help to deliver sustainable and nutritionally-rich dried apples, using solutions suitable for small and medium scale enterprises still struggling to produce preservative-free dried apples and/or without access to preservation techniques such as cold storage facilities.
Cocoyam is one of the most important food crops on the African continent and provides comparatively more calories per day and diverse vitamins, minerals and bioactive compounds as compared to cereal crops. This study recommends the optimal hot-air drying settings to facilitate preservation and value-addition of Cocoyam without adversely altering the valuable starch and micronutrient content; the study, therefore, contributes to the mitigation of both extreme physical hunger and chronic undernourishment due to hidden hunger.
This article supports SDGs 2, 13, and 15 by showcasing how the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) payments should be distributed and monitered for rural development, supporting both the European Green Deal and green COVID-19 recovery.
This article supports SDGs 2, 13, and 15 by explaining several measures that can be adopted to restore and maximize degraded farmlands while reinforcing multiple SDGs.
Plant-based meat alternatives are developed to address consumer demands and sustainability of future food supply, and the market has grown exponentially in recent years. This article addresses SDGs 2 and 12 by analysing the production, nutrition, health, and safety of plant-based meat alternatives.
This journal articles advances SDGs 2, 12, and 13 by identifying the barriers that keep people from consuming plant-based meat alternatives in order to increase the probability of future consumption.
Comparison of plant-based milks on the criteria of nutrition & health, environmental impact and manufacturing processes.
This article supports SDGs 2, 12 and 14 by exploring a transdisciplinary approach and plausible trajectories for China's projected production, consumption and trade of seafood to 2030.
