Journal ArticleDOI

Losses, inefficiencies and waste in the global food system.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that influencing consumer behaviour, e.g. to eat less animal products, or to reduce per capita consumption closer to nutrient requirements, offer substantial potential to improve food security for the rising global population in a sustainable manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Turbulence structure above a vegetation canopy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the turbulence statistics of the canopy/roughness sublayer and the inertial sublayer (ISL) above, and propose a phenomenological model to explain both the structure of the characteristic eddy and the key differences between turbulence in the canopy and the ISL.
Journal ArticleDOI

A simple unified theory for flow in the canopy and roughness sublayer

TL;DR: In this article, a theory for the flow profile that is comprised of a canopy model coupled to a modified surface-layer model is presented, where the coupling between the two components and the modifications to the surface layer profiles are formulated through the mixing layer analogy for flow at a canopy top.
Journal ArticleDOI

Could consumption of insects, cultured meat or imitation meat reduce global agricultural land use?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the potential change in global agricultural land requirements associated with each alternative and conclude that a diet with lower rates of animal product consumption is likely to create the greatest reduction in agricultural land, a mix of smaller changes in consumer behaviour, such as replacing beef with chicken, reducing food waste and potentially introducing insects more commonly into diets, would also achieve land savings and a more sustainable food system.
