“…The FAO, in relation to its nutrition strategy, supports the actions derived from the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) of 2014, the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (UNSCN) (2016-2025) by the General Assembly of the UN, and leads the implementation of its Work Program together with the WHO. This means a growth in research activity that develops guidelines on food-based nutrition, and socio-economic indicators based on food and human needs [84].…”

Unequal economic growth shapes food systems. Nutrition problems incorporate inappropriate practices, so nutrition education is key to empowering consumers to choose healthy foods. However, increasing the accessibility of healthy diets is related to reducing the cost of nutritious foods. The accounting management of healthy nutrition should allow for optimal global decision-making. The evolution of scientific production and global research trends on this topic between 1968 and 2019 have been studied. Statistical and mathematical methods have been applied to 1738 documents from the Scopus database. The results provided data on the agents that participate in the development of the theme. Data reveal an exponential trend, especially in the previous decade, with more than 50% of scientific production. Future lines of research have been identified: investment in health systems; green label education; early impact of food insecurity; WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) nutrition education; food waste audit; and ecological footprint of food. The central contribution of the study has been to detect the main future directions of research, providing critical points that will allow us to identify the themes of future publications, in addition to providing an instrument for decision-making carried out by the research funding sponsors.

“…According to statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), global pesticide usage surged by 36% from 2000 to 2019, peaking at 4.2 million tons in 2019, with Asia contributing a staggering 52−53% of this amount. 4 Despite the vast quantity of pesticides used, the effective utilization rate is exceedingly low, less than 1%. The majority enters the environment, further influencing the ecological cycle and the food chain.…”

“…Pesticides play an integral role in safeguarding crop growth, warding off pests and diseases, and ensuring the yield of agricultural products. − These pesticides are prone to drift, runoff, and roll-off during spraying, losing up to 70% of the pesticide’s active ingredients.

In an effort to make pesticide use safer, more efficient, and sustainable, micro-/nanocarriers are increasingly being utilized in agriculture to deliver pesticide-active agents, thereby reducing quantities and improving effectiveness. In the use of nanopesticides, the choice to further design and prepare pesticide stimulus-responsive nanocarriers based on changes in the plant growth environment (light, temperature, pH, enzymes, etc.) has received more and more attention from researchers. Based on this, this paper examines recent advancements in nanomaterials for the design of stimulus-responsive micro-/nanocarriers. It delves into the intricacies of preparation methods, material enhancements, in vivo/ex vivo controlled release, and application techniques for controlled release formulations. The aim is to provide a crucial reference for harnessing nanotechnology to pursue reduced pesticide use and increased efficiency.

Biofortification can be understood as a strategy to raise nutrients levels in vegetables edible structures, which can positively interfere in human diet. Biofertilizers are an interesting option in alternative production systems, as they can increase food nutritional quality and contribute to plant development, while aiding environment sustainability as natural products. The use of microalgae and humic acid as biofertilizers points to improvements in nutrients and biomolecules content in plants, however, their combined application is still unexplored. In that scenario, it was carried a study with onions about the influence of applications via root immersion in microalgae Scenedesmus subspicatus (Sc) and humic acid (HA) solutions, analyzing possible alterations of macro and micronutrients, total sugars, reducing sugar, free total amino acids, , total soluble solids, soluble proteins and antioxidant capacity in the bulbs. Treatments consisted of one minute seedlings roots immersion from two onion cultivars in solutions containing microalgae and humic acid, and then transplanted to organic system field. There were used three concentrations: control, 0.3 g L-1 Sc + 0.3 g L-1 HA (3SH) and 0.6 g L-1 Sc + 0.6 g L-1 HA (6SH). Results show that the treatments with microalgae with humic acid association were able to increase the content of N, carbohydrates and soluble proteins, also elevating antioxidant activity in onion bulbs.
