Effective governance is essential to transform food systems and achieve the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals 2030. Different political ideologies paradigms inhibit or drive social change movements. This study examined how has been described. Thereafter, we reviewed graphic frameworks models develop a typology for civil society actors catalyze movements people planet. The scoping review involved (1) formulating research questions; (2) developing search strategy identify evidence from four English-language electronic databases reports, 2010–2023; (3–4) selecting, analyzing, synthesizing into narrative review. Results yielded 5715 records, 36 sources were selected that described depicted purpose, scale, ideology, paradigm, discourse, principles, governance, democracy. Evidence was used with distinct (i.e., neoliberal, reformist, progressive, radical); maintain, reform, transition, transform); discourses enterprise, security, justice, sovereignty); types of multistakeholder, shared, self); democracy representative, participatory, deliberative). proof-of-concept could be applied examine agents use advocacy activism strengthen sustainable diets, regenerative systems, planetary health.

The MED_EAT-IT approach: A modelling study to develop feasible, sustainable and nutritionally targeted dietary patterns based on the Planetary health diet

Current Research in Food Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 8, P. 100765 - 100765

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

In 2019, the EAT-Lancet Commission introduced Planetary Health Diet (PHD), a guide for creating 2500 kcal/day country-specific sustainable diets that promote health while reducing environmental impact associated with food systems. The PHD was previously adapted to Italian context, resulting in EAT-IT dietary pattern. However, this adaptation revealed several challenges terms of nutritional adequacy, feasibility, and impact. This study reports on strategies improve previous pattern align it more closely Mediterranean Diet, MED_EAT-IT also explores feasible adapting different energy targets, enhancing its scalability promoting personalized approaches. For optimization pattern, specific calculation tool developed introduce variation considering realistic serving sizes frequency consumption. integrates defined ontology, composition data, two metrics (Carbon Water Footprint). To optimize adaptations amount within groups were made, instance by increasing cereals animal source 25.5% 36.2% respectively compared EAT-IT. kcal/die meets all requirements except vitamin D does not hamper possibility limit Footprint increased only 12.2% but decreased 6.3%). Lower targets achieved modulating amounts ensure adequacy. tools proposed here could aid optimizing plans, evaluating their potential reduction, identifying issues hinder adoption. Furthermore, analyses carried out pave way future development new or improved foods may contribute diets.

Purpose Using an Integrative Literature Review (ILR), this study aims to investigate the components defining Safe and Just Operating Space (SJOS) within food systems assess their applicability in decision-making for public procurement (PFP). Design/methodology/approach Data concerning SJOS implementation criteria used PFP were retrieved from Web of Science Scopus databases, following Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. Findings The analysis literature highlights that climate change ( n = 31; 17%) water use 29; 16%) are primary focus areas regarding Planetary Boundaries (PB), followed nitrogen cycle, land use, biodiversity loss phosphorus cycle. In PFP, key linked PB encompass 19; 7.2%), 17; 6.44%) chemical pollution 6.44%). social ethical dimensions underscore labour 18; 6.82%), 6.44%), income 16; 6.06%) energy 6.06%).

Investigating the Influence of Heavy Metals and Environmental Factors on Metabolic Syndrome Risk Based on Nutrient Intake: Machine Learning Analysis of Data from the Eighth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES)

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(5), P. 724 - 724

Published: March 2, 2024

This study delves into the complex interrelations among nutrient intake, environmental exposures (particularly to heavy metals), and metabolic syndrome. Utilizing data from Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), machine learning techniques were applied analyze associations in a cohort of 5719 participants, categorized four distinct intake phenotypes. Our findings reveal that different patterns are associated with varying levels metal exposure health outcomes. Key include significant variations (Pb, Hg, Cd, Ni) across clusters, certain clusters showing heightened specific metals. These profiles, including differences obesity, diabetes prevalence, hypertension, cholesterol levels. Notably, Cluster 3, characterized by high-energy nutrient-rich diets, showed highest Pb Hg had most concerning indicators. Moreover, highlights impact lifestyle habits, such as smoking eating out, on phenotypes risks. Physical activity emerged critical factor, its absence linked imbalanced clusters. In conclusion, our research underscores intricate connections diet, factors, health. The emphasize need for tailored interventions policies consider these interplays, potentially informing future strategies combat syndrome related issues.

How to advance sustainable healthy food consumption in tourism: a systematic literature review

Journal of Sustainable Tourism, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 29

Published: Nov. 26, 2024

Sustainable healthy diets are crucial for achieving multiple United Nations' Development Goals. However, tourism research has often examined patterns of (un)sustainable and (un)healthy food consumption separately, lacking a comprehensive, holistic analysis. This highlights the need to identify explore behavioral interventions that reinforce sustainable among tourists. study conducted systematic review 87 studies on in tourism, following PRISMA guidelines. The analysis was informed by Behavior Change Wheel with its COM-B model (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behavior). findings indicate related underdeveloped, focusing diagnosis without linking it intervention development. Most emphasize motivational factors, overlooking capability opportunity components. Future should more effectively incorporate non-cognitive sociological theories designing interventions. At destination national level, key policy include developing indicators destinations, creating inventories vegan-friendly cuisines, implementing regulatory schemes advance best practices. Locally, efforts concentrate menus highlight options, providing tailored information their benefits, enhancing service quality support consumption.

The ability of the living world to flourish in face constant exposure dangerous chemicals depends on management a widespread group enzymes known as heme-thiolate monooxygenases or cytochrome P450 superfamily. About three-quarters all reactions determining metabolism endogenous compounds, those carried foods, taken drugs, even synthetic discarded into environment depend their catalytic performance. chromatographic and (photo)luminometric methods routinely used predictive analytical tools laboratories have significant drawbacks ranging from limited shelf-life reagents, use substrates, laborious tedious procedures for highly sensitive detection. In this review, alternative electrochemical biosensors using bio-element are emphasized main aspects well regarding implementation usefulness. Despite various schemes proposed implementation, reports real applications scant several reasons, including low reaction rates, broad substrate specificity, uncoupling occurrence, need expensive electron transfer partners promote transfer. Finally, prospect future developments is introduced, focusing integrating miniaturized systems with techniques, alongside optimizing enzyme immobilization electrode modifications improve enzymatic stability enhance sensor reliability.
