Designing a More Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Food Supply: A Roadmap for Future Food and Agricultural Research

ACS Sustainable Resource Management, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 1(8), P. 1639 - 1671

Published: July 30, 2024

There is an urgent need to change the way we produce, distribute, and consume foods due several adverse effects modern food supply having on environment, including greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, freshwater use, land biodiversity loss. Concerted efforts are therefore required by scientists around world generate scientific knowledge technological advances needed develop a more sustainable global chain. The purpose of this article highlight some most critical areas where research improve sustainability reduce environmental impact production. These include enhanced agricultural crops livestock animals, improved fertilizers, pesticides, antibiotics, reduced waste, conversion waste streams into energy valuable materials, alternative protein sources, advanced packaging as well many others. A range technologies leading important in science technology, gene editing, nanotechnology, precision fermentation, biotechnology, architecture. An objective stimulate development area so create environmentally friendly system.

The importance of genotyping within the climate-smart plant breeding value chain – integrative tools for genetic enhancement programs

Frontiers in Plant Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15

Published: Feb. 6, 2025

The challenges faced by today's agronomists, plant breeders, and their managers encompass adapting sustainably to climate variability while working with limited budgets. Besides, are dealing a multitude of issues different organizations on similar initiatives projects, leading lack sustainable impact smallholder farmers. To transform the current food systems as more resilient model efficient solutions needed deliver convey results. Challenges such logistics, labour, infrastructure, equity, must be addressed alongside increasingly unstable conditions which affect life cycle transboundary pathogens pests. In this context, transforming go far beyond just farmers breeders it requires substantial contributions from industry, global finances, transportation, energy, education, country developmental sectors including legislators. As result, holistic approach is essential for achieving sustain population anticipated reach 9.7 billion 2050 11.2 2100. 2021, nearly 193 million individuals were affected insecurity, 40 than in 2020. Meanwhile, digital world rapidly advancing economy estimated at about 20% gross domestic product, suggesting that technologies accessible even areas insecurity. Leveraging these can facilitate development climate-smart cultivars adapt effectively variation, meet consumer preferences, address human livestock nutritional needs. Most economically important traits crops controlled multiple loci often recessive alleles. Considering particularly Africa, continent has several agro-climatic zones, hence need adapted these. Therefore, targeting specific using modern tools offers precise approach. This review article aims how new provide better support

Plant Metabolic Engineering for Enhanced Nutrition and Food Security During Climate Uncertainty

Food and Energy Security, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

ABSTRACT In the face of climate change and increasing problem food security, plant metabolic engineering stands out as most promising approach for improving nutritional quality crops. Techniques used in metabolism innovations being made are helping to improve nutrient staple foods. Through this approach, scientists have been able increase content essential nutrients, such minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, amino help combat malnutrition dietary insufficiency many parts world today. The review highlights genetic biochemical strategies that can be employed management reprogramming pathways synthesize desired nutrients. This includes examples biofortified crops like rice, maize, potatoes, which genetically enhanced contain higher levels nutrients provitamin A, iron, folate. Furthermore, it examines application CRISPR/Cas9 other advanced gene‐editing tools precision breeding nutrition. Moreover, analyzes ensure withstand various environmental stresses exacerbated by change. Combining stress tolerance traits, particularly drought stress, with value is important grown under conditions. synthesizes recent research findings highlight potential enhancing crop It also emphasizes importance adopting multidisciplinary approaches address regulatory, economic, societal challenges field. addresses regulatory approval, public acceptance, ecological impacts. Ultimately, aims inspire further a means bridging gaps security global health well‐being rapidly changing world.
