Impact of climate variability on household food security in Godere District, Gambella Region, Ethiopia

Yared Tefera Ayinu et al.

Summary: Agriculture and food security are highly susceptible to climate variability and extremes, and this study examines their impact on household food security in the Godere district of Ethiopia. The research finds that the study site has experienced significant rainfall variability and widespread food insecurity among households. Unfavorable climatic conditions, combined with limited household resources, have negatively affected food security. To ensure household food security, it is crucial to address climate shocks and improve access to basic infrastructure services and facilities.

Eritadenine: Pressurized liquid extraction from Lentinula edodes and thermal degradation kinetics

Murat Kaya et al.

Summary: Eritadenine, a cholesterol lowering component found in Lentinula edodes mushrooms, can be effectively extracted using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) technique with water as the solvent at a temperature of 142 degrees C. PLE also provides higher yields of total phenolics and antioxidant capacity compared to classical aqueous ethanol extraction. Eritadenine is thermally stable, making it suitable for enriching thermally treated foods.

Food security from free collection of foods: Evidence from India

Sudha Narayanan

Summary: Free collection of foods plays an important role in improving dietary adequacy and quality, with households in India relying on it for a significant portion of their food consumption. Access to free foods is associated with increased likelihood of having more than two meals and higher dietary diversity, driven by specific food groups such as vegetables, meats, fish, and green leafy vegetables. Recognition of the role of free collection is crucial in discussions on sources of food beyond farms, markets, and the state.
