Digestate is a widely-used liquid alternative to mineral fertiliser, but nutrients readily leech from it, limiting its application. Here, the authors use a porous silicon material to enhance digestate, improving nutrient retention and crop yields.

This chapter aligns with UN SDG goals 2 and 3 by discussing the phytochemicals and medicinal properties of certain indigenous foods

This chapter advances the UN SDG goals 2 and 9 by highlighting the role AI can play in identifying crop improvement methods for sustainable agriculture.

An overshoot of the 1.5°C target seems inevitable, prompting urgent calls for comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and globally coordinated solar geoengineering research. Drawing lessons from the CGIAR agricultural network, this article proposes a global network of climate action centers to ensure reliable and legitimate research, guiding policymakers and donors in addressing this critical need.

The global food system faces mounting pressures from climate change, resource competition, conflict, and markets, with the harshest impacts falling on nutritionally vulnerable populations. Meeting this challenge demands a paradigm shift in how food is grown and distributed, supported by new science, policy reforms, and broad transformations from farm to fork.

This chapter aligns with Goals 2 and 11 by focusing on the potential for improved food production when agroforestry practices are exploited. Further, the use of Agroforestry enhances sustainability within food production systems by providing environmental protections and balances.

The UK is trying to achieve carbon neutrality (SDG 13) and improve biodiversity (SDG 15). This One Earth Research Article explores various land-use changes that the UK could make to achieve these various goals but finds that no solutions exist without trade offs like reduction in food production (SDG 2).

This article provides novel insights for further improvements in tomato quality while also developing water-saving irrigation techniques.

In support of #WorldFoodDay, Elsevier has curated a special collection of free access book and journal content to help raise awareness for water as the foundation for life and food.

Despite inherent resiliency and strengths, Indigenous Peoples in the United States and Canada have been impacted by colonialism, which has led to a loss of land, culture, and identity. Loss of land in particular has had substantial impacts on Indigenous food system practices. Indigenous food sovereignty (IFS) has been determined to be a mechanism for Indigenous communities to build their capacity to address food insecurity.
