Land Use and Food Security in 2050: a Narrow Road

The Agrimonde-Terra foresight study proposes five exploratory scenarios of land use and food security in 2050. They point out a diversity of pathways of change and highlight the fact that we are entering a period of great uncertainty and instability. Agrimonde-Terra’s scenarios also suggest that ensuring world and regional food and nutrition security in a context of climate change is a difficult, long and narrow path.

Diet sustainability in Europe: achieving nutritional recommendations while reducing environmental impact

Achieving diet sustainability is a major challenge. Researchers at INRA, MS-Nutrition and Montpellier SupAgro studied the issue at a Europe scale.

However, the particular changes to the animal product consumption will depend on a country’s dietary habits.
