This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the quality of these studies and analyze their efficacy and safety on bone health. We comprehensively searched electronic databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library up to January 2023 to find clinical studies evaluating the efficacy and/or safety of medicinal plants on bone mineral density (BMD), and bone formation, regulations, and resorption biomarkers. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed to estimate the standard effect sizes. Possible sources of heterogeneity were explored by meta-regression analysis. Totally, 48 studies were eligible for meta-analysis. Random-effects meta-analysis showed that medicinal plants have non-significantly reduced the standardized mean difference (SMD) levels of BMD (−0.09 [95%CI -0.59, 0.41], I<sup>2</sup> = 98.26 %), but significantly decreased bone resorption biomarkers (−0.7, [−1.01, −0.36], I<sup>2</sup> = 93.23 %). Among bone formation markers, medicinal plants have significantly increased their SMD levels (0.55 [0.11, 0.99], I<sup>2</sup> = 96.71 %). For bone regulatory markers, medicinal plants increased non-significantly their levels (0.26 [-0.12, 0.64], I<sup>2</sup> = 63.95 %). We concluded that medicinal plants have positively impact on bone health. They significantly reduced bone resorption markers and promoted bone formation. These findings suggest that medicinal plants could be beneficial in managing and potentially treating bone health conditions. However, to better determine the effects of herbal medicines on bone health, more well-designed controlled trials are necessary to provide sufficient data for performing specific meta-analyses for each plant.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture and Food Research","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 101545"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143173170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Knowledge on the concept of BMs and BM change is currently lacking behind for agriculture. The agri-food sector as a whole differs in many ways from other sectors in which the BM concept is already widely applied. Therefore, there is relevance to check for the applicability within agriculture of existing knowledge on BMs and BM change. Specifically, this paper aims to study the applicability to the agricultural sector of a general framework to study BM change. By means of 19 interviews, BM change and influencing factors were investigated for the case of a feed composition change at farm level in Flanders. The results highlight that a comprehensive study of BM change requires an additional level of analysis, i.e. the entrepreneurial level, besides the farm and environmental level. Also, besides the factors influencing a BM change process (drivers and factors facilitating or hindering a change), the situation of the farm and its environment before and after a BM change should be analysed. The latter determines how an influencing factor affects the BM in a specific situation. This study contributes to the theory on boundary conditions of the BM innovation construct. In relation to a change in the feed composition at pig and broiler farms in Flanders, interacting factors were identified that shape a BM change. The analysis shows that BM change is a stepwise process of changes to specific BM components. Often, the BM resulting from such a process shows a fit with other BM components or with the environment. However, it often also depends on the initial drivers of the BM change. In conclusion, this study provides more insight into the complexity of BM change in the agricultural sector and highlights key aspects of BM change analysis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture and Food Research","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 101572"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143172155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this research aimed to determine lemongrass (<em>Cymbopogon citratus</em> (DC.)

This review focuses on the impact of elevated CO₂ levels on the nutritional quality of key staple crops in SSA. Research from Free-Air CO₂ Enrichment (FACE) and Open-Top Chamber (OTC) experiments highlights a reduction in essential micronutrients, including iron, zinc, and protein, in these crops under elevated CO₂ conditions. Given the already low micronutrient content of these crops in SSA, further reductions intensify food insecurity and malnutrition in the region, where approximately 80 % of the population relies on agriculture for their livelihoods. This review also explores potential strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of elevated CO₂ on crop nutrition in SSA. Integrated mitigation measures such as crop diversification, bio-fortification, climate-smart agriculture, and reforestation are identified as critical to improving food security. Furthermore, raising awareness about the nutritional impacts of climate change and investing in the development of resilient crop varieties are essential for long-term sustainability.
