“…Reduced agricultural yields and a rise in food insecurity have been observed in several regions of the continent due to erratic rainfall patterns and rising temperatures. Conflicts and migration have also disrupted food production and market access, worsening the situation with regard to food security (Chen and Yang, 2021;Sattar et al, 2021). In addition, there have been some devastating events in some parts of sub-Saharan Africa, which greatly affected the food security status of this region.…”

In livestock production, feed resources are very crucial, particularly in Africa where food security and sustainable development are major considerations. The incorporation of locally available novel feed resource alternatives can promote circular economy concepts, increase food security, and improve sustainable livestock production. This review attempts to compile the most recent information on the use of locally available novel feed sources found in Africa while assessing their potential benefits for circular economy principles and sustainable livestock production. We conducted a thorough literature search to find appropriate publications that were published between 2010 and 2022. The search was done using keywords relating to local novel feed resources, sustainable development, circular economy, livestock feed, and food security across a number of research databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. After the search and screening, relevant publications were chosen for inclusion based on their applicability to this review design, topicality (Africa), and regional focus. This review discovered a wide range of locally available novel feed resources, such as native plants, agricultural byproducts, food processing byproducts, and weeds, all of which have the potential to serve as alternative supplements or substitute feed sources for livestock. These resources frequently have a good nutritional composition and advantageous phytochemicals and can be obtained locally, decreasing reliance on foreign feed components. By exploiting locally accessible resources, the inclusion of these materials in livestock feed has significant potential to enhance livestock performance, lower production costs, and promote circular economy concepts in Africa. African countries' sustainable food security and circular economies stand to gain significantly from the use of locally available novel feed resources in livestock feed. However, further investigation is required to determine their nutritional worth, safety, and the best inclusion rates in livestock rations. For their implementation to be effective, it will also be essential to comprehend the socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental elements impacting their adoption. This review offers a thorough synthesis of the body of research, emphasizing the value of locally available novel feed sources in improving the production of livestock and advancing Africa's sustainable development targets.

“…There are still, particularly in recent years, tight resource constraints, increased pressure on environmental protection, high external dependence on key factors, an international market that is somewhat weak in competition in addition to other outstanding issues [1][2][3]. Moreover, in the international livestock industry and livestock products market, there are challenges such as competition with large countries, trade friction, geopolitical risks, major natural disasters, animal and plant epidemics, public health emergencies and other instability and uncertainty factors [4][5][6][7]. Smooth and orderly development faces serious challenges, and the resilience and security level of the livestock industry and supply chain need to be quickly improved.…”

Accelerating the construction of a strong livestock industry is of great significance to better guarantee the supply of livestock products and improve the quality, efficiency and competitiveness of the industry. This study constructed an evaluation index system including supply security, scientific and technological support, industrial resilience and international trade to evaluate the strength of China’s livestock industry, and then conducted an in-depth analysis of the issues and challenges of the construction of a livestock powerhouse. The research results showed that China’s livestock industry ranked 5th in the world, such that China was transitioning from being a large-producing livestock country to being a livestock powerhouse, although improvement was still needed to reach the goal. There were significant differences across species. China’s layer industry was a world leader; the pig, sheep and goat, and broiler industries were strong; and the beef cattle and dairy industries were weaker. There are still many challenges, such as the fact that the domestic supply security capacity needs to be strengthened, the level of scientific and technological support needs to be improved, the modern operation system needs to be sound, the industry and supply chain are not highly resilient, the international trade risks are increasing, and the policy support system needs to be improved. It is recommended to improve the institutional mechanism for the construction of the livestock industry, promote a high level of self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology, build a modern livestock operation system, enhance the resilience and security level of the industry and supply chain, and consolidate and expand international trade and cooperation.

“…Animal diseases such as African swine fever and avian influenza in 2018 caused an increasing number of small and medium-sized livestock companies to exit the market. During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the meat, poultry, and animal product processing plants were the sectors most affected, which leads to imbalance between global supply and demand for meat products ( Chen and Yang, 2021 ). This situation has now triggered an increase in the price of traditional meat products.…”

Mechanism and application of fermentation to remove beany flavor from plant-based meat analogs: A mini review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Over the past few decades, there has been a noticeable surge in the market of plant-based meat analogs (PBMA). Such popularity stems from their environmentally friendly production procedures as well as their positive health effects. In order to meet the market demand, it is necessary to look for plant protein processing techniques that can help them match the quality of conventional meat protein from the aspects of sensory, quality and functionality. Bean proteins are ideal options for PBMA with their easy accessibility, high nutrient-density and reasonable price. However, the high polyunsaturated lipids content of beans inevitably leads to the unpleasant beany flavor of soy protein products, which severely affects the promotion of soy protein-based PBMA. In order to solve this issue, various methods including bleaching, enzyme and fermentation etc. are developed. Among these, fermentation is widely investigated due to its high efficiency, less harm to the protein matrix, targeted performance and low budget. In addition, proper utilization of microbiome during the fermentation process not only reduces the unpleasant beany flavors, but also enhances the aroma profile of the final product. In this review, we provide a thorough and succinct overview of the mechanism underlying the formation and elimination of beany flavor with associated fermentation process. The pros and cons of typical fermentation technologies for removing beany flavors are discussed in alongside with their application scenarios. Additionally, the variations among different methods are compared in terms of the strains, fermentation condition, target functionality, matrix for application, sensory perception etc.
