Systematic review on effects of bioenergy from edible versus inedible feedstocks on food security.

Achieving food security is a critical challenge of the Anthropocene that may conflict with environmental and societal goals such as increased energy access. The "fuel versus food" debate coupled with climate mitigation efforts has given rise to next-generation biofuels. Findings of this systematic review indicate just over half of the studies (56% of 224 publications) reported a negative impact of bioenergy production on food security.

Environmental Factors Variably Impact Tea Secondary Metabolites in the Context of Climate Change.

Climate change is impacting food and beverage crops around the world with implications for environmental and human well-being. While numerous studies have examined climate change effects on crop yields, relatively few studies have examined effects on crop quality (concentrations of nutrients, minerals, and secondary metabolites). This review article employs a culturally relevant beverage crop, tea (), as a lens to examine environmental effects linked to climate change on the directionality of crop quality.
