• Putting meaning back into “sustainable intensification” (2014, positive): “Many authors advocating sustainable intensification acknowledge the importance of other factors contributing to food insecurity, including gender inequality, food waste, poverty, and lack of power to access food (Godfray et al. 2010; Foley et al. 2011; Garnett and Godfray 2012; Mueller et al. 2012).”
• Total and per capita value of food loss in the United States (2012, background): “areas to the extent that compromises biodiversity and damages ecosystems (Godfray et al., 2010; Spencer and Butler, 2010; The Royal Society, 2010).”
• Security and Privacy in Smart Farming: Challenges and Opportunities (2020, methodology): “According to the United Nations (UN), the world population is expected to exceed 9 billion people by 2050, growing by almost a third of the current population [1], [2].”
• Non-renewable groundwater use and groundwater depletion: a review (2019, background): “The increasing demand for food caused by this population growth (Godfray et al 2010) has resulted in a dramatic expansion of irrigated agriculture during the 20th century (Siebert et al 2015).”
• Manipulating the soil microbiome to increase soil health and plant fertility (2012, background): “The problem is no longer simply to produce more food, but also to do so in environmentally and socially sustainable ways (Godfray et al. 2010; von Braun 2007).”
• Affluence drives the global displacement of land use (2013, background): “Population growth and a change to more affluent diets including higher meat and dairy consumption result in the need to expand or intensify agricultural and forestry production (Foley et al., 2011; Godfray et al., 2010; Kastner et al., 2012).”
• Where are the best opportunities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the food system (including the food chain)? A comment (2012, background): “This wastage can be reduced by investment in institutions and infrastructure to improve storage, transportation, processing and marketing (Gustavsson et al., 2011; Godfray et al., 2010).”
