Spatial patterns of nutrients balance of major crops in Argentina.

Argentina has a long tradition of agricultural systems that use few amounts of fertilizers. However, the crop nutrient balance remains unknown throughout the country. In this study, we estimated the nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) balance at national and subnational scale of the six major grain crops: soybean, maize, wheat, sunflower, barley and sorghum.

The health, environmental, and economic dimensions of future dietary transitions in Argentina.

Unlabelled: Diets link human health with environmental sustainability, offering promising pressure points to enhance the sustainability of food systems. We investigated the health, environmental, and economic dimensions of the current diet in Argentina and the possible effects of six dietary change scenarios on nutrient adequacy, dietary quality, food expenditure, and six environmental impact categories (i.e.

Quality and environmental footprints of diets by socio-economic status in Argentina.

Food consumption and production plays a major role on human health and environmental sustainability. In addition, socio-economic status (SES) could be an important determinant on these impacts. Here we investigated the quality and environmental footprints of diets of different SES in Argentina.

Energy and carbon footprints of chicken and pork from intensive production systems in Argentina.

Due to the heterogeneity and complexity of food systems, there is a need to increase the knowledge on environmental impacts of regional productions by performing studies in a transparent manner, so that researchers could compare and accurately adapt such data to assess mitigation strategies. With the exception of beef, chicken and pork are the most consumed meats in Argentina and their consumption is expected to continuing increasing. However, despite the growing importance of chicken and pork industry, no studies on environmental impact of these products have been conducted to date in this country.
