Agricultural and food supply chains in the United States are essential for both global and local food security, yet the transportation of agri-food commodities has received little attention despite being an essential feature for connecting production to consumption. Here we map the US agri-food distribution onto real-world highways, railways and waterways and also quantify the trade-offs between cost, path redundancy and carbon emissions of agri-food transit across transportation modes. Highways show the greatest path redundancy; relative to waterways, highways also cost 3 orders of magnitude more and emit 60 times more carbon. On the contrary, waterways show the lowest cost and emission levels, but path redundancy against transportation disturbances is 80% lower than for highways. Railways offer a middle ground on path redundancy, carbon emission and cost concerns compared to highways and waterways. Our findings can inform efforts to balance affordability, resilience and sustainability in agri-food transportation.

美国的农业和食品供应链对全球和当地的粮食安全都至关重要,然而,尽管农业食品商品的运输是连接生产和消费的重要特征,却很少受到关注。在此,我们绘制了美国农业食品在现实世界中的公路、铁路和水路运输分布图,并量化了各种运输模式下农业食品运输成本、路径冗余和碳排放之间的权衡。公路显示出最大的路径冗余;相对于水路,公路的成本也高出 3 个数量级,碳排放量高出 60 倍。相反,水路的成本和碳排放水平最低,但针对运输干扰的路径冗余比公路低 80%。与公路和水路相比,铁路在路径冗余、碳排放和成本方面处于中间位置。我们的研究结果可为平衡农业食品运输的经济性、弹性和可持续性提供参考。

Farming activities contribute to soil antibiotic pollution, posing health risks for rural farm workers, especially on small farms in impoverished regions. The effectiveness of large farms in reducing poverty-induced soil antibiotic exposure risk (SABER) remains uncertain. Here we integrate global datasets on concentration of soil antibiotics, rural farm-worker employments and on-farm working hours to quantify SABER. We find that exposure-weighted relative populations are concentrated in underdeveloped regions, particularly East Africa and South and Southeast Asia. A 1,000 ha farm is optimal for SABER reduction, farm employment and working hours, outperforming both smaller and larger farms. Establishing large farms in the top 20% of priority areas can cover 47.3–75.5% of SABER hotspots, while establishing large farms in the top 44% of priority areas achieves the highest coverage of SABER hotspots without substantial declines in rural employment. This approach offers practical strategies to mitigate SABER while maintaining rural farm-worker employment.

耕作活动会造成土壤抗生素污染,给农村农场工人的健康带来风险,尤其是在贫困地区的小型农场。大型农场在降低贫困导致的土壤抗生素暴露风险(SABER)方面的效果仍不确定。在此,我们整合了有关土壤抗生素浓度、农村农场工人就业情况和农场工作时间的全球数据集,以量化 SABER。我们发现,暴露加权的相对人口集中在欠发达地区,尤其是东非、南亚和东南亚。1,000 公顷的农场是减少 SABER、农场就业和工作时间的最佳选择,其表现优于小型和大型农场。在前 20% 的优先地区建立大型农场可覆盖 47.3%-75.5% 的 SABER 热点,而在前 44% 的优先地区建立大型农场可实现 SABER 热点的最高覆盖率,且不会导致农村就业大幅下降。这种方法提供了切实可行的战略,既能减轻 SABER 的影响,又能保持农村农民工的就业。

Climate change will alter the geographical locations most suited for crop production, but adaptation to these new conditions may be constrained by edaphic and socio-economic factors. Here we investigate climate change adaptation constraints in banana, a major export crop of Latin America and the Caribbean. We derived optimal climatic, edaphic and socio-economic conditions from the distribution of intensive banana production across Latin America and the Caribbean, identified using remote sensing imagery. We found that intensive banana production is constrained to low-lying, warm aseasonal regions with slightly acidic soils, but is less constrained by precipitation, as irrigation facilitates production in drier regions. Production is limited to areas close to shipping ports and with high human population density. Rising temperatures, coupled with requirements for labour and export infrastructure, will result in a 60% reduction in the area suitable for export banana production, along with yield declines in most current banana producing areas.

气候变化将改变最适合作物生产的地理位置,但对这些新条件的适应可能会受到气候和社会经济因素的制约。在此,我们对拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的主要出口作物香蕉的气候变化适应制约因素进行了研究。我们利用遥感图像识别了拉丁美洲和加勒比地区香蕉集约化生产的分布情况,从中得出了最佳气候、土壤和社会经济条件。我们发现,香蕉集约化生产受制于地势低洼、土壤微酸性的暖季型地区,但受降水量的限制较小,因为灌溉有利于干旱地区的生产。生产局限于靠近航运港口和人口密度高的地区。气温升高,加上对劳动力和出口基础设施的需求,将导致适合出口香蕉生产的地区减少 60%,目前大多数香蕉产区的产量也将下降。

Large farms can decrease soil antibiotic exposure risk to farmers
Pub Date : 2025-03-06 DOI: 10.1038/s43016-025-01151-w
Farmers, particularly those working on small farms, face soil antibiotic exposure risk, which is compounded by low income. Creating larger farms can reduce the exposure risks, but it might also limit employment opportunities for farmers. A global analysis suggests that establishing optimally sized farms in priority areas can help to balance exposure risks and farmer livelihoods.

Climate change alters the climatic suitability of croplands, likely shifting the spatial distribution and diversity of global food crop production. Analyses of future potential food crop diversity have been limited to a small number of crops. Here we project geographical shifts in the climatic niches of 30 major food crops under 1.5–4 °C global warming and assess their impact on current crop production and potential food crop diversity across global croplands. We found that in low-latitude regions, 10–31% of current production would shift outside the climatic niche even under 2 °C global warming, increasing to 20–48% under 3 °C warming. Concurrently, potential food crop diversity would decline on 52% (+2 °C) and 56% (+3 °C) of global cropland. However, potential diversity would increase in mid to high latitudes, offering opportunities for climate change adaptation. These results highlight substantial latitudinal differences in the adaptation potential and vulnerability of the global food system under global warming.

Retail food environments influence food purchasing and dietary patterns. A global analysis of the food retail landscape allowing comparisons across geographical regions is therefore needed to tackle diet-related non-communicable diseases. Here we examine trends in retail food environments from 2009 to 2023 across 97 countries, exploring associations with changes in obesity prevalence. Increases were observed in the density of chain outlets, grocery sales from chain retailers, unhealthy food sales per capita and digital grocery sales; non-chain outlet density and the ratio of non-chain to chain outlets declined over time. South Asia and low- and middle-income countries overall experienced the most rapid transformation. Changes in retail environments and the prevalence of obesity were found to be positively correlated. As retail environments become increasingly digital and dominated by large chains, important implications for diets and health should be expected, particularly in lower-income countries.

食品零售环境影响着食品购买和饮食模式。因此,需要对食品零售环境进行全球性分析,以便在不同地理区域之间进行比较,从而应对与饮食相关的非传染性疾病。在此,我们研究了 97 个国家从 2009 年到 2023 年的食品零售环境趋势,探讨了与肥胖患病率变化之间的关联。我们观察到,连锁店密度、连锁零售商的食品杂货销售额、人均不健康食品销售额和数字食品杂货销售额均有所上升;非连锁店密度和非连锁店与连锁店的比率则随着时间的推移而下降。南亚和中低收入国家总体上经历了最迅速的转变。研究发现,零售环境的变化与肥胖症发病率呈正相关。随着零售环境日益数字化并由大型连锁店主导,预计将对饮食和健康产生重要影响,特别是在低收入国家。

Aquaculture carrying capacity estimates show that major African lakes and marine waters could sustainably produce 10–11 Mt of fish per year

Aquaculture carrying capacity (CC) can be used to guide sustainable aquaculture development over the long term through the regenerative power of the environment. In this study, a model has been developed to estimate CC by combining marine spatial planning for physical CC, management criteria for production CC, eutrophication and pathogen risk for ecological CC, and social acceptance based on legislative and management criteria. The estimates of CC for major African freshwater lakes and the marine exclusive economic zones of Africa indicate that 10–11 Mt of fish could be produced annually while preserving ecosystem goods and services, potentially increasing fish consumption by the population of the African continent by 7 kg per capita per year (an increase of 70%). Supply-side forecasts and demand-side estimates can support policymakers in defining targets for aquaculture expansion that avoid ecological, economic and social tipping points.

Low-carbon ammonia production is essential for resilient and sustainable agriculture
Pub Date : 2025-02-17 DOI: 10.1038/s43016-025-01125-y
Stefano Mingolla, Lorenzo Rosa

Ammonia-based synthetic nitrogen fertilizers (N fertilizers) are critical for global food security. However, their production, primarily dependent on fossil fuels, is energy- and carbon-intensive and vulnerable to supply chain disruptions, affecting 1.8 billion people reliant on either imported fertilizers or natural gas. Here we examine the global N-fertilizer supply chain and analyse context-specific trade-offs of low-carbon ammonia production pathways. Carbon capture and storage can reduce overall emissions by up to 70%, but still relies on natural gas. Electrolytic and biochemical processes minimize emissions but are 2–3 times more expensive and require 100–300 times more land and water than the business-as-usual production. Decentralized production has the potential to reduce transportation costs, emissions, reliance on imports and price volatility, increasing agricultural productivity in the global south, but requires policy support. Interdisciplinary approaches are essential to understand these trade-offs and find resilient ways to feed a growing population while minimizing climate impacts.

氨基合成氮肥(氮肥)对全球粮食安全至关重要。然而,它们的生产主要依赖化石燃料,是能源和碳密集型的,容易受到供应链中断的影响,影响到 18 亿依赖进口化肥或天然气的人口。在此,我们研究了全球氮肥供应链,并分析了低碳氨生产途径的具体权衡。碳捕集与封存可将总排放量减少多达 70%,但仍然依赖天然气。电解和生化工艺可最大限度地减少排放,但成本比 "一切照旧 "的生产方式高出 2-3 倍,所需的土地和水量也高出 100-300 倍。分散生产有可能降低运输成本、排放、对进口的依赖和价格波动,提高全球南部的农业生产率,但需要政策支持。跨学科方法对于理解这些权衡,找到既能养活不断增长的人口,又能最大限度减少气候影响的弹性方法至关重要。

However, their production, primarily dependent on fossil fuels, is energy- and carbon-intensive and vulnerable to supply chain disruptions, affecting 1.8 billion people reliant on either imported fertilizers or natural gas. Here we examine the global N-fertilizer supply chain and analyse context-specific trade-offs of low-carbon ammonia production pathways. Carbon capture and storage can reduce overall emissions by up to 70%, but still relies on natural gas. Electrolytic and biochemical processes minimize emissions but are 2–3 times more expensive and require 100–300 times more land and water than the business-as-usual production.
