The unsustainability of the Omega-3 supply from seafood in the Mediterranean under global change. Food Policy.

For the first time, researchers looked at the long-term Omega-3 supply from Mediterranean fisheries and found that warming seas and declining fish stocks are reducing it. Gains from warm-water fish can’t make up for losses from temperate and cold-water species, putting future Omega-3 from seafood at serious risk.

Labour requirements for healthy and sustainable diets at global, regional, and national levels: A modelling study. The Lancet Planetary Health.

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals will require big changes in what we eat and how we produce food. Researchers found that shifting to healthier, more sustainable food systems could change where agricultural jobs are needed, reducing global labor costs by about 0.2–0.6% of GDP each year.

The health, environmental, and cost implications of providing healthy and sustainable school meals for every child by 2030: A global modelling study. The Lancet Planetary Health.

Researchers estimate the health, environmental, and financial impacts of expanding sustainable school meals for all children by 2030. Findings suggest substantial health and environmental benefits at low cost across countries of all income levels, though dedicated policy and financial support will be needed in low-income countries to achieve universal school meals.
