Summary: Integrated agriculture and aquaculture systems are efficient in converting inputs to food, with nitrogen loading impacting fishpond productivity. Restoration of agriculture and aquaculture can increase fish harvest, while also retaining more nitrogen inputs compared to urbanization, reducing nitrogen export to adjacent bays. Incorporating tidal dynamics into coastal IAAS models is crucial for effective management and future sustainability of food systems.

Summary: This paper critically reviews five food frontiers and assesses their potential in reducing environmental footprints and enhancing food system sustainability. The findings suggest that cellular agriculture, controlled environment agriculture, entomophagy, and seaweed aquaculture have similar positive impacts, with controlled environment agriculture appearing to be the most feasible technology for large-scale implementation. The potential impacts of climate-driven northern agricultural expansion are mixed and may pose multiple risks to the global food system.

Summary: Small-scale aquaculture systems can play a significant role in ensuring food security, reducing poverty, and promoting rural development in developing countries. However, the intensification of aquaculture systems can have negative environmental impacts. This study assesses the sustainability outcomes of adopting diversification practices and better management practices in small-scale aquaculture production in Myanmar.

Summary: This study provides insights into the nature and extent of food waste from primary production in Ireland, using approved methods for reporting. The main sources of waste were vegetable production, meat production, and tillage. Pests, disease, injuries, and production stress were identified as the main causes of waste. The majority of waste was considered food loss, suggesting a focus on mitigation efforts in this area.

Summary: This article reviews the latest literature on the preparation, stability, bioavailability, possible risks, and underlying mechanisms of nanoselenium. The stability of nanoselenium is determined by the reducing capacity and stability of the reducing agent, as well as the binding force between nanoselenium and the template. Although nanoselenium has been widely studied for applications in food, agriculture, livestock, and aquaculture, it is not commonly used in these fields. Nanoselenium is used by organisms to synthesize selenium-containing amino acids, which improve tissue health by scavenging excessive radicals. However, excessive intake of nanoselenium can lead to dysfunction of key proteins in organisms, and its toxic doses vary with species. In addition, there are still some urgent issues related to nanoselenium that need to be resolved.

Summary: Agroecological interventions are crucial for enhancing agricultural productivity and soil fertility in low-income countries. This study evaluates the impact of organic amendments such as animal manures and plant residue-based biochars on soil quality, nutrient balance, yield, and sustainability of rice-wheat cropping system. The results show that the use of these organic amendments can improve soil organic carbon and microbial biomass carbon.

Summary: This paper takes an economic approach to analyze the supply of and demand for fish up to 2030, with a focus on aquaculture. The study finds that variations in aquaculture growth rates have important consequences for future fish prices and per capita fish consumption. Sub-Saharan Africa is particularly affected by the growth rate of aquaculture production.

Summary: The conflict between growing food demand and limited water resources is becoming more intense. A water footprint life cycle assessment framework is constructed to analyze the relationship between food and water, and a modified algorithm is proposed to measure a food's water footprint and assess water transfer between grain crops and animal products. To address the mismatch between water resources and food production, an optimization model is proposed to balance water use and food security, providing an adjusted food production structure for China at different scales. The results demonstrate that reducing China's total blue water footprint and enhancing food production in the south while decreasing production in certain northern provinces can ensure sustainable regional development.

Summary: In countries with industrialized agriculture, the contribution of fossil energy equals or exceeds the energy provided to society in food. Poland, lacking sufficient oil and gas resources, is forced to import fossil fuels for modern food production and distribution, posing a serious threat to food security in case of prolonged energy shortages. The study on Poland identified the agricultural dependence on fossil fuels, energy threats, and alternative energy sources, indicating that the country still has the ability to restore food self-sufficiency without external fossil fuel sources.

Summary: Seafood has potential benefits for human health and sustainability, but these are influenced by factors such as preparation methods and sourcing. Study found that seafood menu items in chain restaurants in the United States tend to have high levels of saturated fat, sodium, and protein, and lack information on origin and production methods. Recommendations include reformulating menus to improve nutritional content and provide more transparency to consumers.

Summary: This study examined seafood intake among adults in the US and analyzed the relationship between seafood consumption and seafood prices among different socioeconomic and demographic groups. The results showed that low-income groups consume less seafood, particularly seafood high in long-chain n-3 PUFAs. The study also highlighted variations in seafood intake, species, and production methods among different race/ethnicity groups and income levels.

Summary: Fisheries and aquaculture industries heavily rely on fossil fuels, but there is a need to transition to renewable energy for reducing carbon emissions and achieving global planetary health goals. This study found that renewable energy makes up a small proportion of energy use in catfish aquaculture and wild-caught salmon sectors in the United States. Barriers to implementing onsite renewables include cheap electricity costs and diurnal energy use in the catfish industry, and the short duration of the fishing season in the wild-caught salmon industry. However, there is a desire for more regional renewable energy technologies in the wild-caught salmon industry to lower electricity costs and increase reliability.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between seasonality in seafood production and consumption in the United States. It reveals that there are significant seasonal increases in consumption around December and March, and that consumption in Spring and Summer aligns with domestic fishing production. The peak seasons in Alaska strongly influence the national landings.

Summary: This study investigated popular diet patterns among adults in the United States and found that they are increasingly following restrictive diet patterns. The effects of targeted food substitutions on the intake of different food groups varied across diet patterns. However, using substitution approaches may help improve adherence to dietary guidelines.
