The analysis on the balance of nutrient's profit and loss in crop-fruit ecosystems of three villges in middle-south Loess Plateau showed that fertilization was the main input of nutrients, of which, chemical fertilizer occupied a larger proportion, while organic manure was relatively insufficient. The quantity of N, P and K spent in interior circulation was far less than that exported from the ecosystem. The ratio of nutrient's output and input in three test villages was differed, but all at a low level.

The United States Food Loss and Waste Reduction Goal seeks to reduce national food waste by 50%, down to 74 kg per capita, by 2030. Here we investigate state policies' alignment with the federal goal across four policy categories. We develop a policy scoring matrix and apply it to wasted food solutions listed in the non-profit ReFED's database to derive ranges of food waste diversion potential and projected generation across states.

Background: Use of health applications (apps) to support healthy lifestyles has intensified. Different app features may support effectiveness, including gamification defined as the use of game elements in a non-game situation. Whether health apps with gamification can impact behaviour change and cardiometabolic risk factors remains unknown.

Forest fertilization is a forest management practice that is often claimed to increase productivity in boreal forests. Although regarded as an efficient way to increase profitability, it is also costly, and associated with risks such as biodiversity loss and nitrogen leaching from the soil. To be both cost-efficient and sustainable, potential enhanced productivity due to fertilization should be balanced against the adverse environmental impact.
