Animal board invited review: Animal source foods in healthy sustainable, and ethical diets - An argument against drastic limitation of livestock in the food system ,

Frederic Leroy et al.

Summary: Animal source foods are evolutionarily appropriate for humans, providing essential nutrients for development and function. However, debates exist regarding their health and environmental impacts, which vary based on cultural contexts and management practices. Well-managed livestock farming can contribute to ecosystem and soil health, while providing high-quality food through resource upcycling. However, mitigation is required to address negative impacts associated with certain production methods.

Peak oil and the low-carbon energy transition: A net-energy perspective

Louis Delannoy et al.

Summary: This paper explores the impact of using lower quality energy sources on the net-energy supply of oil products, finding that by 2050, half of the gross energy output will be needed for oil production. This challenges the feasibility of a rapid global transition to low-carbon energy, suggesting a renewed focus on net-energy issues in the peak oil debate.
