This report examines antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The tripartite One Health complexity of AMR is extensively discussed, highlighting the contribution of animal health, human health and the environment to the global health situation.
More DetailsMethane Emissions from Agricultural Ponds are Underestimated in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories
This study assessing methane emissions of agricultural ponds in the United States and Australia finds that these ponds emit twice as much methane than is accounted for by national greenhouse gas inventories.
More DetailsExploring the Pathways towards the Mitigation of the Environmental Impacts of Food Consumption
In Denmark, a study analyzing the nation’s potential to reduce its food system greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and resource footprint found that animal products account for 80% of the nation’s food-related footprint.
More DetailsBiodiversity Effects of Food System Sustainability Actions from Farm to Fork
When examining land use, a Planetary Health diet (a vegetarian diet low in dairy and egg consumption), is most promising for reducing food waste and preserving biodiversity in the United States when compared to standard American diet (i.e. baseline), vegetarian, mediterranean, and USDA recommended diets.
More DetailsEstimating the Environmental Impacts of 57,000 Food Products
This meta-analysis in the U.K. and Ireland assesses individual food products in relation to an environmental impact score, a comprehensive value formulated by combining land use, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water stress, and eutrophication (e.g. algal blooms) potential.

This policy brief describes the potential benefits of adopting the provisions of the Good Food Purchasing Program in Buffalo Public Schools..
More DetailsA Global Synthesis of Animal Phenological Responses to Climate Change
Drawing on hundreds of published time series from around the planet, the authors find that animal phenology (seasonal or cyclical biologically driven behaviors influenced by the climate) is affected by different climate variables at different latitudes.
More DetailsThe Environmental Footprint of Global Food Production
The authors used a global geospatial analysis of 2017 data to examine the environmental pressures (greenhouse gas emissions, freshwater use, habitat disturbance, and nutrient pollution) asserted by the production of aquatic (marine and freshwater) and terrestrial foods.
