  1. Urban precision fermentation may support decentralized food production
    Research exploring precision fermentation for urban dairy production in Amsterdam, examining technical feasibility and societal requirements for decentralized novel food technologies.
  2. Labelling of chilled ready-to-eat foods varies across countries
    Transnational analysis of food labelling practices for chilled ready-to-eat products in EU and non-EU countries reveals inconsistent storage temperatures and geographic patterns in date labelling.
  3. Reducing Food Waste Through Pre-Decision Interaction Design
    Research on pre-decision design for reducing household food waste through competence-supportive interfaces that constrain meal choices based on available ingredients.
  4. Prevalence and risk factors for food insecurity among a cross-sectional sample of U.S. Army Reserve component soldiers, 2021
    Study quantifying food insecurity prevalence among U.S. Army Reserve soldiers and identifying demographic risk factors including education level and race.
  5. Food security indicators gave divergent estimates in South Africa
    Systematic review of food security measurement in South Africa reveals fragmentation across 82 studies using competing indicators, limiting policy coherence and intervention targeting between.
  6. Projected climate change alters crop water stress in Ethiopia
    Study modeling climate change impacts on crop water security in Ethiopia using HYDRUS-1D ensemble modeling, revealing spatially heterogeneous vulnerability across cereals, pulses, and cash crops.
  7. Gender shapes household food spending in Türkiye
    Examine how gender shapes household food expenditure in Türkiye using neural networks and Bayesian analysis, revealing structural economic vulnerabilities beyond income constraints.
  8. Agrifood byproducts are described as valuable resources for sustainability
    Review of agrifood by-product valorization pathways for extracting bioactive compounds and advancing sustainable food systems through pharmaceutical, food, packaging, and cosmetic applications.
  9. EU agricultural assets face stranding under reduced animal-food consumption
    Quantifies stranded-asset exposure in EU27+UK agriculture: 78% of fixed assets tied to animal-sourced food; scenarios indicate 18–77% could be stranded under dietary shifts.
