TL;DR: In this article, a more nuanced approach sensitive to local contexts and appreciative of foods other than staples may lead to alternative policy choices in many places in the developing world, which may have unintended negative consequences on dietary quality.

TL;DR: The results show that different tree-dominated land classes were associated with the dietary quality of people living within them in the provinces where they were dominant and the swidden/agroforestry land class was the landscape associated with more frequent consumption of the largest number of micronutrient rich food groups.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the dietary contributions of wild forest foods in smallholder dominated forested landscapes from 37 sites in 24 tropical countries, using data from the Poverty and Environment Network (PEN) and compared quantities of forest foods consumed by households with dietary recommendations and national average consumption patterns.

TL;DR: The first comprehensive survey of gibbons across Indonesian Borneo was carried out to determine whether densities of gibbon species are cor- related with vegetation characteristics, and if so, whether the same characteristics are correlated with density across all forest types, and to identify threats to the areas.

TL;DR: The Agrarian Change Project (ACP) as mentioned in this paper is a multi-disciplinary research initiative that applies detailed socio-ecological methodologies in multi-functional landscapes, and assess the subsequent implications for conservation, livelihoods and food security.
