Summary: This article presents a meta-analysis of 58 studies conducted between 2011 and 2021, involving 26,533 participants, to assess the effectiveness of behavioral interventions in reducing food waste. It confirms that behavioral interventions have a moderate effect on food waste reduction, with education programs having the most significant impact. The analysis also reveals that interventions in elementary and middle school settings marginally improve the overall effect size, and controlled experiments show a higher effect size compared to pre-post experiments in education interventions.

Summary: This systematic review focused on the effect of insecticides on the Allium cepa system. The meta-analytical test showed that insecticide treatment increased the number of micronuclei in onion cells and reduced the mitotic index. More studies on biotechnology, nanotechnology, and biopesticides are needed to develop safer pesticides.
