Summary: The COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 had a significant impact on household income and animal-source food consumption. This paper aims to examine the immediate effect of income loss on animal-source food consumption during the early stage of the pandemic. Survey data from 1301 households in Wuhan and Nanjing revealed that 69.6% (Wuhan) and 42.2% (Nanjing) of households experienced a decline in animal-source food consumption, and 47.4% (Wuhan) and 18.9% (Nanjing) suffered income loss. The study found that income loss had a direct impact on animal-source food consumption, possibly due to price increases, income loss, and insufficient savings.

Summary: This study analyzes the income and price elasticities of household energy demand using micro data from eight independent household surveys conducted between 2001 and 2019. A pseudo-panel approach is used to construct 1200 cohorts based on variables such as region, climatic zone, months, and expenditure deciles. The findings indicate a high own price elasticity, suggesting that household electricity usage decreases with higher electricity prices. The study also reveals that electricity is a substitute for gas and firewood in Pakistan, and identifies variations in elasticities at different levels of electricity usage and among different income and geographical groups.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected food security in Indonesian households. This study aimed to identify the socio-economic characteristics associated with food security, analyze the factors influencing household food security during the pandemic, and provide recommendations for improving food security programs. The study was conducted in eight provinces using data collected from April to July 2020. Results showed that 50.63% of households surveyed were food insecure. Factors such as gender, age, education, occupation, income, and food expenditure significantly influenced household food security status.

Summary: This study investigated the household food environments of rural Latino immigrants during the COVID-19 pandemic and found significant food insecurity issues, particularly among low-income households. Government assistance programs, such as SNAP and P-EBT, as well as charitable food programs, played a crucial role in mitigating food insecurity, although there were still issues and barriers to access.

Summary: The study found that hunger was the main reason adolescents participated in the National School Lunch Program, especially for those from low-income families and food insecure households. Eligibility for free or reduced price meals emerged as a significant predictor for reporting hunger as the main reason for participation after controlling for school and student demographics.

Summary: Improving food security and nutrition is a global challenge, and farm production diversity is seen as a viable pathway to improve household nutrition. However, there is mixed evidence on the association between farm production diversity and key nutrition indicators. A study using data from rural households in Uganda found that crop species count and animal species count were differently associated with household dietary diversity score, energy, and vitamin A sourced from markets. Crop species count consistently showed a strong positive association with energy and all studied micronutrients sourced from own farm produce consumption.

Summary: The research found that Solidarity Purchasing Groups (SPGs) in Rome served as an important food supply channel during the lockdown period, mainly due to their greater flexibility and agility in moving and handling goods, as well as the ability to compensate local farms, contributing to the resilience of the local agri-food fabric.

Summary: The study found a direct association between household welfare and food security, with households in marginal and moderate categories experiencing greater income inequality. Policy measures should be implemented to improve household welfare status, especially for those facing food insecurity.

Summary: Socially vulnerable populations in the United States bear the highest costs of water scarcity, but prior research has only focused on singular dimensions of vulnerability, leaving an incomplete understanding of the national scope of shortage risks. This study combines data on water shortages with the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) to identify hotspots of high shortage and vulnerability across the country. The study found that approximately 15 million people in the lower 48 states live in high-SVI, high-shortage areas. Water shortages disproportionately affect socially vulnerable groups, but the specific dimensions of vulnerability vary across regions and hotspots, requiring tailored adaptation strategies.

Summary: COVID-19 pandemic has led to a decrease in food consumption, especially for pork, and a decrease in food diversity, particularly for households whose income is affected. Self-production methods such as kitchen gardening can help households maintain and improve their food consumption during the pandemic. Farmers are less likely to suffer worsened food consumption compared to self-employed and wage workers.

Summary: In recent decades, India has seen a rapid influx of migrants from agricultural areas to densely populated megacities, which are increasingly vulnerable to climate hazards. There is a need for more attention to be paid to vulnerable new migrants lacking necessary resources when crafting adaptation and mitigation policies.

Summary: There are significant differences in household CO2 emissions between income groups in China, and these differences are influenced by consumption categories and provinces. This paper uses a model to calculate the emissions from goods and services consumed by different income groups in China's provinces. The results show that carbon inequalities will increase by 2050 due to the growth in demand, particularly in affluent groups who spend more on carbon-intensive goods.

Summary: The invasive fall armyworm has had a significant impact on the maize industry in Africa and Asia, particularly on household income and food security. Severe infestations can lead to a sharp decrease in household income and increase the likelihood of hunger. Implementing control strategies can help mitigate these negative effects and reduce economic losses.

Summary: To achieve the goal of zero hunger in sustainable development, it is crucial to enhance the resilience of food systems to various risk shocks. This study analyzed the impact of China's lockdown policy and food security emergency policy during the COVID-19 pandemic on food prices, highlighting the role of policy intervention in strengthening the food system's resilience. The implementation of transport policy and joint supply emergency policy in the main producing and consuming areas played a significant and positive role in stabilizing food prices.

Summary: Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) is a set of locally adapted soil fertility technologies and practices aimed at improving soil fertility, crop productivity and income for smallholder farmers. Adoption of core ISFM technologies is associated with increased labor demand and income from crops, but the impact on household welfare varies depending on farmers' income diversification strategies.
