Due to complex interactions, changes in any one area of food systems are likely to impact-and possibly depend on-changes in other areas. Here we present the first annual monitoring update of the indicator framework proposed by the Food Systems Countdown Initiative, with new qualitative analysis elucidating interactions across indicators. Since 2000, we find that 20 of 42 indicators with time series have been trending in a desirable direction, indicating modest positive change.

Since their discovery in the 1960s, researchers have observed a myriad of fungal phenotypes altered due to mycoviral infection. In this review, we examine the nuanced world of mycoviruses in the context of the medically and agriculturally important fungal genus, .

Article Synopsis
- The analysis introduces a food system indicator framework and monitoring architecture to assess food system changes related to global development and sustainability goals, focusing on five key themes: diets and health, environmental impact, livelihoods and equity, governance, and resilience.
- A total of 50 indicators were developed through a consultative process, ensuring coverage for each theme, which serves as a baseline for evaluating global food systems.
- While every country shows positive outcomes in certain areas, no country excels across all domains, indicating room for improvement towards achieving healthy, sustainable, and equitable food systems by 2030.
Purpose: Quantitative epidemiological tools are routinely used to assess adolescent diet and physical activity (PA) constructs (behaviour, knowledge, and awareness) as risk factors for non-communicable diseases. This study sought to synthesize evidence on the quantitative epidemiological tools that have been used to assess adolescent diet and PA constructs in low to middle-income countries (LMIC).
Methods: A systematised review was conducted using 3 databases (EbscoHost, Scopus and Web of Science).
