This special issue explores the influence that insects and other invertebrates have on ecosystem services and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and makes a case for insect science to promote a sustainability science approach.
In 2018, Dr. Prajwal Rajbhandari was awarded the first prize of the Elsevier Foundation Green and Sustainable Chemistry Challenge for his project, “Guava leaves as natural preservatives for farmers of Nepal.” Due to a lack of viable non-toxic preservatives, or cold chain technologies, one-third of Nepal’s produce is spoiled before it reaches market each year. Dr. Rajbhandari’s project taps the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of guava leaves to make a water-based, sprayable natural preservative, contributing to SDGs 2, 12 and 15. Two years later, we interviewed Dr. Rajbhandari about his experience as a winner, as well as the upcoming steps for his project.
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 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.
