Considering Plant-Based Meat Substitutes and Cell-Based Meats: A Public Health and Food Systems Perspective (2020, background): “7 billion ha (Foley et al., 2011)—roughly half to three-quarters of global agricultural land—while animal foods account for only 18% of calories and 25% of protein in the global food supply (Mottet et al.”
State-of-the-art on use of insects as animal feed. (2014, background): “The livestock production is resource hungry: for example it occupies 30% of the world’s ice-free surface or 75% of all agricultural land (including crop and pasture land) and consume 8% of global human water use, mainly for the irrigation of feed crops (FAO, 2009; Foley et al., 2011).”
Optimizing agri-environment schemes for biodiversity, ecosystem services or both? (2014, background): “It is therefore critical that this biodiversity loss is mitigated in agricultural landscapes (Foley et al., 2011; Godfray et al., 2010).”
The interaction of human population, food production, and biodiversity protection (2017, neutral): “Approaches include a broader implementation and transference of technologies to increase food production through intensification rather than expansion (3), reducing food waste (4), and changes in diet (5, 6).”
Beneficial microbes ameliorate abiotic and biotic sources of stress on plants (2020, background): “The human population will approach 9.7 billion in 2050 and to achieve the required 1.7-fold increased crop yields (Foley et al., 2011; Tilman, Balzer, Hill, & Befort, 2011; Tilman, Cassman, Matson, Naylor, & Polasky, 2002) on soils of which 69% are moderately to highly degraded (FAO, 2011), we will…”
Global Cost of Land Degradation (2016, background): “Extent of cropland area in 1992– 2009 decreased by 0.3 % but increased by 4 % in SSA—the largest increase in the world (FAOSTAT 2014; Foley et al. 2011).”
