Moving beyond the opposition of diverse knowledge systems for food security and nutrition

The Human Interference Scoring System (HISS): A New Tool for Quantifying Food Quality Based on Its Level of Processing

“…We also note Hess's [46] criticism that it is theoretically possible to build a 'healthy' diet (as defined by the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA)) composed of >80% UPF. However, it is also clear that at a broad scale, the evidence that high UPF consumption is associated with poor health and diet quality is robust [12][13][14][15][16][17] and that a diet centered primarily on whole foods has numerous health benefits [1,19]. Therefore, promoting a diet with a reduced proportion of UPFs that includes more whole, unprocessed, or minimally processed foods is a desirable goal for improving population health.…”

“There is food we deserve, and there is food we do not deserve” Food injustice, place and power in urban agriculture in Cape Town and Maputo

“…We adopted a co-research approach, inspired by participatory research framed by Chambers et al (1989) and Paulo Freire's (1970) work on learning processes and problemposing methods for oppressed and marginalized groups. Co-research consists of learning in and from communities, the pursuit of transformation, and the democratisation of the knowledge process (Stöber, 2005) and places actors who are still largely being excluded from research that is relevant to them at the centre of the research (Pingault et al 2020). Co-research includes research participants in all steps of the research process from the problem identification, study design, data collection and, crucially, the mutual interpretation and validation of the findings, to the scaling and dissemination of these findings.…”

The future in the litter bin – bioconversion of food waste as driver of a circular bioeconomy

“…In summary, the future of food waste management is likely to involve a combination of these methods, which will be contingent on local regulations and specific waste streams. The primary focus will revolve around adopting a comprehensive approach that incorporates technological innovation, raises consumer awareness and corporate social responsibility, promotes consumer behavior change and gives more value to surplus "saved" food (225,226). The Food Recovery Hierarchy outlines actions which organizations, individuals and families can take to prevent and manage wasted food, as summarized in the Figure 7.…”
