“…The many studies of food waste, for example, too easily became vehicles for moralism, with consumers blamed for buying excess or incompetence, as though price incentives and marketing did not encourage over-buying or waste (188) . This has not halted food scientists from producing data on food waste and contributing evidence to food's role in a modern circular economy (189) . A paradigm shift entails more than positive directions and experimentation but recognition grows that one is needed, and that food and nutrition scientists continue to open discussion about the future direction of the food system.…”

Implications of the ‘changing world’ for nutrition and nutritionists are considered, using the UK within a global context as an illustration. The first section summarises the slow recognition by policy makers of the significance of the changing world of food and nutrition. The second section ‘Food system stress is now at a critical level’ considers the present scale of global food system stress and the failure so far sufficiently to narrow the gap between evidence and policy change. The year 2021 was earmarked when three major UN conferences had the opportunity to chart food changes ahead. The third section ‘Multi-criteria analysis helps frame 21st century nutrition science’ proposes that multi-criteria analysis is an essential methodology for nutrition within this more complex policy world; nutrition studies can no long exclude social and environmental criteria. The penultimate section ‘Nutrition science can reconnect its life science, social and environmental nutrition traditions to contribute to new paradigm formation’ suggests that nutrition science can now recombine three traditions within its own history to address this complexity: social nutrition, environmental nutrition and life sciences. The final section ‘Priorities ahead’ concludes that this multi-criteria approach to nutrition offers new routes for science and policy influence. Five priorities are identified: (1) clarification of the features of a good food system; (2) new sustainable dietary guidelines which integrate different determinants of sustainability; (3) helping consumer engagement with change; (4) developing improved policy frameworks and (5) contributing to professional channels in these processes. In the UK, while the challenge of narrowing the gap between evidence, policy and change remains daunting, the risks of not attempting to improve the transition to an ecologically sound public health nutrition are even greater.

“…Not only shortage of sufficient food production, food loss, and food wastage are huge problems in the supply chain system. Meanwhile, about one-third of the global food production is lost or wasted along the food supply chain [27,70].…”

Land and heterogenous constraints nexus income diversification strategies in Ethiopia: systematic review

Background Agriculture is a key to Africa’s future. With alarming population growth, the quest for land increases not only for farming, but also for housing, and the building of industries. Likewise, Ethiopian highlands, cultivated landholding sizes are very small and the land-to-man ratio is declining over time. This exposes the young rural population to facing severe land constraints, poverty, and food insecurity. In addition, constraints facing rural households are inevitably varied and diverse. Hence, this paper examines an in-depth and systematic review of how the rural economy responds to the existing land constraints and what specifically drives them for income diversification outlooks; accumulative or survival strategies in the spatial and temporal dimensions. Method We have used a systematic review with concept definitions and a qualitative approach that relies on the analysis of current literature and deductive logical reasoning to generate a comprehensive scientific understanding of a topic that can capitalize information for future research and policies. Different inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied and filtered pertinent articles to this study in countrywide verdicts. Result The burgeoning literature underscores farm sizes are strongly and positively correlated with net farm income and overall livelihood options, and land constraint leads to rural poverty. One of the pressing issues in rural, as well as urban areas, is that millions of small-scale farmers are becoming landless, and forced as daily laborers for other income sources or joining the already massively overloaded urban and peri-urban low-productivity services sector. In addition, skill, capital (financial and physical), and multiple constraints coupled with the small land sizes including high unemployment, social tension, migration and crowding out the nearest towns. Further, findings pointed out that rural market failures—particularly in the areas of land and finance—force poorer subpopulations to choose strategies with demonstrably lower returns, while wealthier ones are engaging in higher returns with lower marginal and entry costs of participation. Hence, push-and-pull factors of off-farm and non-farm engagements are the survival strategies and persuade the social welfare of the poor. Conclusion With heterogenous constraints, diversification patterns reflect people's voluntary asset exchanges and asset allocation across diverse activities to attain the best possible balance of projected returns and risk exposure given the restrictions they confront due to missing or incomplete markets for land, credit, or labor. Particular emphasis for the vibrant income diversification strategies should be set in and policymakers must stimulate buoyant rural economies, with robust non-farm and off-farm income and innovative farming practices. Hence, the poor must gain access to the growing market niches and basic infrastructure development. Smooth and unconstrained labor markets provide one important bridge linking the rural poor to growing non-farm opportunities.

“…Um deles é a neofobiatermo que remete à aversão a novos métodos, ingredientes ou produto final (CATTANEO et al, 2019; GRASSO; ASIOLI, 2020)a qual é potencializada pela falta de consciência e preocupação ambientais por parte do consumidor (ASCHEMANN-WITZEL; STANGHERLIN, 2021). Neste caso, é importante que o produtor reconheça aspectos do seu público consumidor, como a faixa etária, estilos de vida sustentáveis e consciência sobre as práticas circulares dos diferentes segmentos de mercados (CANTO; GRUNERT; DE BARCELLOS, 2021;DORA et al, 2021;NATTASSHA et al, 2020). Assim, é possível mitigar a construção de uma imagem negativa sobre o produto, o que pode inibir o seu o consumo (NÚÑEZ-CACHO et al, 2020).…”

O objetivo deste artigo é identificar artigos acadêmicos que tratam da transição para a economia circular (EC) no setor alimentício e analisar os principais estímulos, barreiras e práticas envolvidas neste processo. Para isso, uma revisão sistemática de literatura foi conduzida, utilizando a base Scopus. A partir da análise bibliométrica, de rede de palavras-chave e de conteúdo, foi possível obter uma visão geral das discussões atuais sobre o tema, que apresenta um crescente interesse, com protagonismo de países europeus e do Brasil. Entre os principais estímulos, foram identificados a eficiência energética, as novas oportunidades de mercado, a colaboração com stakeholders, a ecoeficiência e as possíveis reduções de custos. Dentre as barreiras, foram cinco as principais: tecnológicas, financeiras, operacionais, aceitação dos consumidores e legislação. A redução do consumo de matéria prima e o uso de subprodutos foram as práticas mais abordadas pelos artigos, indicando que o setor alimentício ainda tem potencial para implementar outras estratégias em direção à EC, como resultado da manufatura eficiente e uso mais inteligente dos produtos.
