Resolving this conflict requires further research and practical changes, as current studies remain fragmented. Therefore, this study used the Denitrification-Decomposition model to evaluate the potential of inorganic and organic fertilizers practices for improving both C neutrality and grain yields in Chinese paddy fields. The findings showed that in chemical nitrogen (N) treatments, grain yield and C neutrality ranged from 6.36–9.48 t ha<sup>−1</sup> and 3.49–13.42 t C ha<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. Specifically, when chemical N was applied at 150–250 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup>, higher plant C sequestration was observed, leading to increased yield and C neutrality. When chemical N was combined with green manure, straw incorporation, or manure fertilizer, grain yield improved by about 7%, while C neutrality decreased by 20%. To further enhance yield and C neutrality, it is imperative to increase plant C sequestration by 1.0 t C ha<sup>−1</sup> and reduce N<sub>2</sub>O emission by 0.22 t CO<sub>2</sub>-eq ha<sup>−1</sup> in chemical N applications of 150–200 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup> combined with green manure. Additionally, achieving higher C neutrality with chemical N applications of 200–250 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup> combined with straw incorporation or manure fertilizer requested enhancing plant C sequestration by 1.2 t C ha<sup>−1</sup> or reducing the global warming potential. In conclusions, combining chemical N at 150–200 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup> with green manure offers a promising approach to achieving both higher grain yield and C neutrality. However, efforts to further reduce carbon emissions are still essential for enhancing C neutrality.

A knowledge agenda is an advocacy and policy document which highlights systemic, structural and individual/collective goals and targets as they relate to knowledge, competencies and perspectives in a particular field or domain. Such a Knowledge Agenda, comprising Knowledge Development Goals, can be a powerful tool for advocacy, policy and programming advice and for bridging research and practice. The framework for the Knowledge Agenda has been provided by the ‘Agenda Knowledge for Development’, informed by the literature on knowledge management for development, and on knowledge for food systems transformation and resilience. We have taken the approach of relying on a variety of literature because there is very little literature specifically addressing knowledge for food systems resilience in protracted crisis. Against this background, a draft Knowledge Agenda (pages 11–13) is proposed which features 12 Knowledge Development Goals with specific targets, recognising that the Agenda needs further elaboration and contextualization in a consultative process. This version has novelty and value as it provides a roadmap of how researchers, practitioners and policymakers can develop draft Knowledge Agenda for consultation for contexts where the literature is limited.

To understand the overall impact of the pandemic and how different socio-economic groups were affected, we assessed prevalence and severity of FI in a sample of 18,997 households across seven countries in South America. We employed the Food Insecurity Experience Scale developed by the FAO. Our results showed that pre-pandemic, 4.5% of the sampled population across the entire continent faced Moderate FI, while 0.6% experienced severe FI. During the pandemic, Moderate FI increased to 16.9% (+ 12.4%), and Severe FI to 2.7% (+ 2.1%). By country, pre-pandemic households in Venezuela had the highest prevalence of Moderate FI (9.7%), with Peru experiencing the highest Severe FI frequency (1.1%). Peru had the greatest rise in Moderate (+ 23.9%) and Severe FI (+ 4.6%) during the pandemic. Low-income households, defined as those earning &lt; 2 minimum wages per month, were most susceptible to FI. Uruguayan low-income families exhibited the most significant rise (+ 40.4%) in Moderate FI, while those in Peru experienced an increase of + 9.1% in Severe FI. This study measures the profound and far-reaching impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on FI in South America. Our findings also emphasise the critical importance of implementing effective public policy interventions to improve resilience against future shocks.

The Nutrition Equity Framework illustrates how unfairness, injustice and exclusion condition deep drivers of inequity that lead to unequal diet and nutrition outcomes. We use the framework to structure four case-studies from Brazil, South Africa, Vietnam and the UK on how researchers and activists are involved in the struggle for fair and just diets that are healthier and more sustainable. Comparison across the four case-studies provides a useful illustration of how diet and nutrition equity dynamics can play out in diverse ways depending on national historical and contemporary contexts; but at the same time, we see some parallel trends and characteristics suggesting common drivers of unhealthy and inequitable diets. In terms of action, equity can be operationalized in the positive as the need for recognition, representation and redistribution with relation to marginalized population groups, and the paper ends with suggestions from the literature on how to take this forward in research and action.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":567,"journal":{"name":"Food Security","volume":"17 4","pages":"1023 - 1037"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12571-025-01537-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145161130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inherent in these food system transition pathways are trade-offs and synergies within or between different dimensions of sustainability, scales, and types of actors. The objective of this study was to identify and assess with the stakeholders the trade-offs and synergies in transition pathways of doubling dairy consumption in Ethiopia. Of the four transition pathways developed of doubling dairy consumption within 15 years, we focused on two pathways in this study. The “peri-urban pathway” focused on the vision that all low-income peri-urban consumers have access to safe and affordable pasteurized milk by 2037 while the “ rural pathway” aimed at access to pasteurized milk by all rural pregnant and lactating women, and children under 7 years. Fifteen trade-offs were identified by the participants for the two pathways. Scores of the importance of each trade-off ranged from 1 to 3 on a Likert scale from 1 (low) to 4 (very high) with average of 2.47 ± 0.42 and 2.6 ± 0.371 for peri-urban and rural pathways, respectively.

This study evaluates the effect of an integrated nutrition-sensitive program that aimed to increase fruit and vegetable consumption in low-income urban adults in Hanoi, Vietnam (<i>n</i> = 582), and Ibadan, Nigeria (<i>n</i> = 626), through the simultaneous implementation of three interventions at the market and consumer levels. Fruit and vegetable intake data were collected after eight months of exposure to the program with repeated quantitative 24-hour recalls and exposure effect was estimated with inverse probability weighting with regression adjustment, adjusting for potential confounders. The impact size on total fruits and vegetables (144 g/d, 95%CI 93, 196), fruits (137 g/d, 95%CI 93, 183) and vegetables (6 g/d, 95%CI -12, 24) showed that intake was higher in the exposed Nigerian population than the control group. In Vietnam, intakes of fruits and vegetables in the exposed group did not statistically differ from the control group when controlling for differences between groups with propensity scores. Participants exposed to all three interventions reported slightly higher intakes compared to those who were exposed to fewer interventions, but these differences were not statistically significant. Integrated approaches of nutrition-sensitive food system interventions need to be implemented to increase fruit and vegetable consumption. Co-creation of interventions provides the possibility to address the different drivers and barriers of healthy diets specific of the context.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":567,"journal":{"name":"Food Security","volume":"17 3","pages":"641 - 655"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12571-025-01529-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144135336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
