This chapter focuses on genetically modified crops that can aid farmers in increasing crop resilience and productivity. While their safety and ethics have raised concern, these promising technologies offer hope for the improvement of food security for global populations, especially those in under-developed or developing countries.
The principal motivations for the worldwide trend towards reducing meat consumption are health, the environment and animal welfare.
Objectives: The increasing prevalence of malnutrition among school-going adolescents is a major public health threat in Bangladesh.
Objectives: This study examines the association between oral health and food avoidance among older adults in the United States.
Meat consumption has been increasing since the 1960s, but especially from the 1980s decade to today.

This paper provides an overview of children and adolescents’ diet. Food systems need to be redesigned to improve diet quality in children 0-19 years in order to address the multiple burdens of malnutrition. Data systems also need to be strengthened to track data quality among children. This article advances knowledge on SDG 2 and 3.
Harnessing genomic selection for efficient and sustainable livestock production is an important and markable way to address food security challenges.
This paper describes the relationship between agriculture, food supply chains and children’s and adolescents’ diets and their food accessibility, advancing knowledge on SDG 2, zero hunger.
