The Eu

Steering the EU food system towards a sustainability transformation requires a vast and actionable knowledge base available to a range of public and private actors. Few have captured this complexity by assessing food systems from a multi-dimensional and multi-level perspective, which would include (1) nutrition and diet, environmental and economic outcomes together with social equity dimensions and (2) system interactions across country, EU and global scales. This paper addresses this gap in food systems research and science communication by providing an integrated analytical approach and new ways to communicate this complexity outside science. Based on a transdisciplinary science approach with continuous stakeholder input, the EU Horizon2020 project ‘Metrics, Models and Foresight for European SUStainable Food And Nutrition Security’ (SUSFANS) developed a five-step process: Creating a participatory space; designing a conceptual framework of the EU food system; developing food system performance metrics; designing a modelling toolbox and developing a visualization tool. The Sustainable Food and Nutrition-Visualizer, designed to communicate complex policy change-impacts and trade-off questions, enables an informed debate about trade-offs associated with options for change among food system actors as well as in the policy making arena. The discussion highlights points for further research related to indicator development, reach of assessment models, participatory processes and obstacles in science communication.

The Impact

Abstract Background Todays, due to the impact of human food choices on increasing greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and environmental degradation, there is a new thinking about changing the pattern of food production and consumption, including sustainable food and nutrition system related to consumption. This study aimed to explore the dimensions of a sustainable diet among the determinants of people's food choices. Methods This qualitative study was carried out using an in-depth interview with 33 individuals aged 30-64 years old living in different areas of Tehran. Data gathering, data analysis and theoretical conceptualization were performed simultaneously and from the beginning of the research, and for managing and organizing the data, the MAXQDA 10 software was used. Results In this paper, the findings are categorized according to the key components of a sustainable diet in five themes: "Health and Nutrition", "Food and Agriculture Security", "Environment and Ecosystems", "Markets, food trade and production chains", "social, cultural, and policy factors" were categorized. Meanwhile, the components of the "Health and Nutrition" domain had the highest contribution and the components of the two domains "food and agriculture" and "environment and ecosystems" had the lowest role among the statements of the participants in this study. Conclusion considering to the low importance of the dimensions of a sustainable diet in food choices of the community, promoting the individual awareness of sustainable diet components, clarifying the importance of food choices in creating environmental impacts and leading the national macro policies in the field food and nutrition toward sustainable diet goals are essential.

Overweight and obesity are growing concerns in adolescents, particularly in females in South Africa. The aim of this study was to evaluate the food and nutrition environment in terms of government policy programs, nutrition education provided, and foods sold at secondary schools in the Eastern Cape province. Sixteen schools and grade 8–12 learners (N = 1360) were randomly selected from three health districts comprising poor disadvantaged communities. Based on age and sex specific body mass index (BMI) cut-off values, 13.3% of males and 5.5% of females were underweight, while 9.9% of males and 36.1% of females were overweight or obese. The main food items purchased at school were unhealthy energy-dense items such as fried flour dough balls, chocolates, candies, and crisps/chips. Nutrition knowledge scores based on the South African food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) were poor for 52% to 23.4% learners in Grades 8 to 12, respectively. Female learners generally had significantly higher nutrition knowledge scores compared to their male counterparts (p = 0.016). Questions poorly answered by more than 60% of learners, included the number of fruit and vegetable portions required daily, food to eat when overweight, foods containing fiber, and importance of legumes. It was noted that the majority of teachers who taught nutrition had no formal nutrition training and their responses to knowledge questions were poor indicating that they were not familiar with the FBDGs, which are part of the curriculum. Nutrition assessment as part of the Integrated School Health Program was done on few learners. Overall however, despite some challenges the government national school meal program provided meals daily to 96% of learners. In general, the school food and nutrition environment was not conducive for promoting healthy eating.

<p><strong>English</strong><br />Human Development Index (HDI) on development trend during 1980-2012 in Indonesia improved, but food insecurity is still frequently found and prone to chronic malnutrition. The paper aims to analyze the magnitude and characteristics of food insecurity and nutrition vulnerability as well as to identify their causes. Thus, it is expected that the incident case management can be handled earlier. Periodically performing and updating food and nutrition insecurity mapping are very relevant. The level of food insecurity and malnutrition in Indonesia is almost high. In relation to the MDG target, conditions are still far from the targeted magnitude. It requires a breakthrough in reducing the prevalence of malnutrition among infants and energy deficit population. In addition, it needs sustainable food supply by increasing food production through food self-sufficiency. Thus, food and nutrition security approach is alternative to implement for handling food insecurity and malnutrition by increasing cross-sector synergy.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Selama 1990-2012 trend perkembangan Human Development Index (HDI) di Indonesia membaik, namun masih banyak kejadian rawan pangan maupun rawan gizi kronis. Tulisan ini bertujuan menganalisis besaran, identifikasi dan karakteristik rawan pangan dan rawan gizi serta penyebabnya. Dengan demikian diharapkan akan lebih dini dalam penanganan kasus kejadian tersebut. Pemutakhiran pemetaan kerawanan/kerentanan pangan dan gizi secara berkala sangat relevan dilakukan. Data empirik menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kerawanan pangan dan gizi di Indonesia tergolong mendekati tinggi. Dikaitkan dengan target sasaran dari MDGs, kondisi tersebut masih jauh dari besaran yang ditargetkan. Untuk itu perlu terobosan dalam menurunkan prevalensi rawan pangan dan gizi kronis, yakni menurunkan prevalensi gizi kurang pada balita dan penduduk yang defisit energi. Selain itu, perlu adanya penyediaan pangan yang berkelanjutan dengan meningkatkan produksi pangan melalui kemandirian pangan. Mengingat pentingnya perwujudan ketahanan pangan dan gizi, maka ke depan diharapkan pendekatan ketahanan pangan harus dipadukan dengan pendekatan penanganan masalah gizi. Dengan demikian pendekatan ketahanan pangan dan gizi menjadi alternatif untuk diimplementasikan dalam penanganan masalah rawan pangan dan gizi dengan meningkatkan sinergi lintas sektor.</p>

Expanding Population

The United Nations estimates that the global population will total 9.7 billion in 2050. Rapid population growth pose a significant obstacle to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly eradicating hunger and poverty. In view of the expanding population growth, food production ideally should triple to prevent massive food shortages. Sustainable food and nutrition security is the focal point of the dairy industry. Dairy production plays a pivotal role in addressing and advancing global food and nutrition security. It serves as a major source of protein, calcium, and phosphorus in many families in developing countries with a fast-growing population. Consequently, the dairy industry is expected to grow by approximately 26% in the next 10 years and produce an estimated 1077 million tonnes of milk by 2050. However, the growth and distribution of the dairy industry is limited by many factors such as culling and mortality of dairy cows. Several studies highlight reproduction failures, old age, poor milk yield, diseases (mastitis, lameness, and dystocia), and heat stress as some reasons for culling of dairy cows. Hence, this review highlights the factors influencing culling and mortality in dairy production farms, and discusses mitigating measures to limit culling.
