Red meat consumption and risk factors for type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Lisa M. Sanders et al.

Summary: Observational studies have shown a potential association between red meat intake and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), but randomized controlled trials have not provided consistent evidence supporting a mechanistic link. This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials suggests that red meat intake does not significantly impact most glycemic and insulinemic risk factors for T2D.

Carbon footprint of cotton production in China: Composition, spatiotemporal changes and driving factors

Weibin Huang et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the carbon footprint of cotton production in China and identified the main drivers of carbon emissions. It found that fertilizer, irrigation electricity, and agricultural film were significant factors at the micro level, while the economic factor played a key role at the macro level. Improving efficiency and ensuring high-quality development are effective strategies to reduce carbon emissions.

Current coronavirus crisis and past pandemics- What can happen in post-COVID-19 agriculture?

Hynek Roubik et al.

Summary: There is a concerning increase in food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in developing countries. Despite efforts to keep agriculture, food industry, and markets running, the supply chains and access to affordable food are still unstable. This has disproportionately affected marginalized groups with less purchasing power. This paper provides an overview of past pandemics, synthesizes lessons learned, and outlines the impact on post-COVID-19 agriculture and food security.

The Environmental Footprint Associated With the Mediterranean Diet, EAT-Lancet Diet, and the Sustainable Healthy Diet Index: A Population-Based Study

Sigal Tepper et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the environmental impacts of the Mediterranean diet and the EAT-Lancet reference diet, and found that animal protein contributes the most to greenhouse gas emissions and land use, while fruits and vegetables are the main contributors to water consumption. Therefore, these two dietary patterns should be included in national dietary guidelines.

Mitigating global warming potential with increase net ecosystem economic budget by integrated rice-frog farming in eastern China

Kaikai Fang et al.

Summary: Integrated rice-frog farming (IRFF) has shown the potential to improve yield gains and decrease greenhouse gas intensity. The study found that applying IRFF can mitigate global warming potential and enhance economic benefits in rice farming, with the treatment involving 15,000 frogs per hectare being a potential ecological alternative to traditional rice farming.

Climate change perceptions and the adoption of low-carbon agricultural technologies: Evidence from rice production systems in the Yangtze River Basin

Wenjing Li et al.

Summary: Based on a study of 1115 rice farmers in central China, it was found that most farmers agreed that climate change affects agricultural production and have adopted low-carbon technologies. Key factors influencing farmers' climate change adaptation were also identified.

Food system resilience and COVID-19? Lessons from the Asian experience

Shenggen Fan et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the impact of COVID-19 on the food system, particularly in Asia, and the relatively resilient nature of Asian food systems compared to other regions. It analyzes the initial responses of governments and global agencies to manage the crisis, while also considering the outlook for food system resilience post-COVID-19 and the potential long-term effects of the pandemic. The paper emphasizes the importance of learning lessons from the current pandemic response, as similar shock events may occur in the future.

Carbon footprint and predicting the impact of climate change on carbon sequestration ecosystem services of organic rice farming and conventional rice farming: A case study in Phichit province, Thailand

Noppol Arunrat et al.

Summary: The study compared the carbon footprint intensity, SOC stocks, and VCSES between organic rice farming and conventional rice farming. Results showed that organic rice farming had lower carbon footprint intensity, significantly higher SOC stocks increase, and nearly two times higher VCSES compared to conventional rice farming. Under future climate change scenarios, rice yields are expected to increase in most cases but decline under the worst scenario. Organic farming is predicted to have less impact on SOC and VCSES compared to conventional farming.
