Undernutrition, obesity, climate change, and freshwater depletion share food agricultural systems as an underlying driver. Efforts to more closely align dietary patterns with sustainability health goals could be better informed data covering the spectrum of countries characterized by over- undernutrition. Here, we model greenhouse gas (GHG) water footprints nine increasingly plant-forward diets, aligned criteria for a healthy diet, specific 140 countries. Results varied widely country due...
Over the past decade, there has been growing interest in development and production of plant-based cell-based alternatives to farmed meat. Although promoted for their capacity avoid or reduce environmental, animal welfare, and, some cases, public health problems associated with meat consumption, little research critically evaluated broader potential food systems implications alternatives. This review explores key health, economic, policy related consumption substitutes meats, how they...
Global and local food system transformation is necessary in order to ensure the delivery of healthy, safe, nutritious foods both sustainable equitable ways. Food systems are complex entities that affect diets, human health, a range other outcomes including economic growth, natural resource environmental resiliency, sociocultural factors. However, contribute vulnerable ongoing climate changes threaten their sustainability. Although there has been increased focus on this topic recent years,...
Four years after the EAT-Lancet landmark report, worldwide movements call for action to reorient food systems healthy diets that respect planetary boundaries. Since dietary habits are inherently local and personal, any shift toward sustainable going against this identity will have an uphill road. Therefore, research should address tension between global nature of biophysical (health, environment) social dimensions (culture, economy). Advancing system transformation healthy, transcends...
This paper assesses the additional benefits of a homestead gardening program designed to control vitamin A deficiency in Bangladesh. In February and March 2002, data were collected on food security social status women from 2,160 households active former participants groups order assess impact sustainability program. The proportions former-participant that gardened year-round fivefold threefold, respectively, higher than group (78% 50% vs. 15%). three-month period, produced median 135 kg...
A cross-sectional study, a follow-up and an intervention trial were carried out to investigate the association between mild vitamin deficiency occurrence of diarrhea respiratory diseases. Cross-sectional analysis was performed among 1,772 children, aged 1-8 years, in Sakon Nakhon province northeastern Thailand. Children with history or disease had lower levels serum retinol retinol-binding protein. Adjusted for age, sex, nutritional status, level urbanization, logistic regression using data...
Background Although undernutrition and communicable diseases dominate the current disease burden in resource-poor countries, prevalence of diet related chronic is increasing. This paper explores trends under- overweight Bangladeshi women.
