This study focuses on the valuation of ecosystem services in Kenya and Vietnam, two countries that have received much attention from the international development community for their biodiversity significance, opportunities for scaling, climate an

Substantial model variability exists regarding the likely meteorological impact of climate change on Kenya, particularly with respect to future precipitation levels.

The geographic distribution of natural ecosystems is afected by both climate and cropland.

Mongolia’s projected warming is far above the global average and could exceed 5 °C by the end of the century.

Access to sufficient and clean freshwater is essential for all life. Water is also essential for the functioning of food systems: as a key input into food production, but also in processing and preparation, and as a food itself.

There is an urgent need for countries to transition their national food and land-use systems toward food and nutritional security, climate stability, and environmental integrity.

Home to one-quarter of humanity—one-fifth of whom are youth—South Asia has the world’s largest concentration of poverty and malnutrition (1–3).

Excessive anthropogenic nitrogen (N) inputs to the biosphere have disrupted the global nitrogen cycle.

Food systems are major contributors to climate change and other environmental problems, such as land-use change and biodiversity loss, depletion of freshwater resources, and pollution of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems through nitrogen and phos

Globally, the commons provide important ecosystem functions and services and contribute towards sustainable development and human population.

This note summarizes the results of in-person interviews with 16 US farmers in Iowa and Illinois to identi-fy the motivations and challenges that impact farmers’ adoption of practices that improve biodiversity.

This note summarizes the results of interviews with 16 farmers in Brazil to identify the motivations and challenges that impact farmers’ adoption of practices that improve biodiversity.

This note summarizes the results of interviews with 17 farmers in France to identify the motivations and challenges that impact farmers’ adoption of practices that improve biodiversity.

This note summarizes the results of interviews with 18 farmers in Germany to identify the motivations and challenges that impact farmers’ adoption of practices that improve biodiversity. All interviews were conducted either by phone or on Zoom.

Excess agricultural nitrogen, mainly from manure and chemical fertilizers, is a primary source of nutrient pollution and presents serious environmental threats to natural ecosystems and human health.

Ensuring resilient food systems and sustainable healthy diets for all requires much higher water use, however, water resources are finite, geographically dispersed, volatile under climate change, and required for other vital functions including ec

One Health has been defined as an approach to the pursuit of public health and well-being that recognizes the interconnections between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has spotlighted the intricate connections between human and planetary health.

FAO’s The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report (FAO et al. 2020) emphasizes the gradually increasing trend of hunger, measured by the prevalence of undernourishment, since 2014.
