Ensuring sustainable soybean supply and consumption under climate change is critical for global food and environmental security. China, as the world's largest soybean consumer, exerts substantial influence on global land use, trade flows, and carbon emissions through its evolving supply and consumption patterns. This study applies a computable general equilibrium model combined with an environmentally extended input-output approach to quantify how climate change and adaptive policy measures affect China's soybean supply and consumption and further transmit to the global supply chain. The results reveal that external shocks and climate stressors jointly reduce China's soybean production by up to 4.83%. Enhancing domestic self-sufficiency alone cannot close the growing demand gap, which leads to import reductions of 1.32%–8.26%. However, climate change intensifies supply risks and increases reliance on major exporters, while raising their emissions. By 2060, China's imports from Brazil and the other Latin American regions are projected to rise by 2.13%–2.82% and 2.15%–3.76%, respectively, with embodied emissions increasing by 91.90 × 103–124.28 × 103 tCO2 and 15.75 × 103–27.08 × 103 tCO2. Production subsidies could boost domestic production by 5.89%, reduce imports by 3.55%, and lower emissions by 253.54 × 103 tCO2. Technological advancements can mitigate climate-induced production declines by 1.36%–9.13% globally, stabilize Chinas's soybean imports within −0.01%–0.08%, and reduce emissions by 4.78 × 103–45.60 × 103 tCO2. These adaptive strategies provide actionable insights for improving the resilience of the soybean supply chain.
在气候变化条件下确保大豆的可持续供应和消费对全球粮食和环境安全至关重要。中国作为世界上最大的大豆消费国,通过其不断变化的供应和消费模式,对全球土地利用、贸易流动和碳排放产生了重大影响。本研究采用可计算一般均衡模型,结合环境扩展投入产出方法,量化了气候变化和适应性政策措施对中国大豆供应和消费的影响,并进一步传递到全球供应链。结果表明,外部冲击和气候压力因素共同导致中国大豆产量减少高达4.83%。仅靠提高国内自给自足并不能弥补日益扩大的需求缺口,这将导致进口减少1.32%-8.26%。然而,气候变化加剧了供应风险,增加了对主要出口国的依赖,同时增加了它们的排放量。预计到2060年,中国从巴西和其他拉美地区的进口量将分别增长2.13% ~ 2.82%和2.15% ~ 3.76%,隐含排放量将分别增加91.90 × 103 ~ 124.28 × 103 tCO2和15.75 × 103 ~ 27.08 × 103 tCO2。生产补贴可提高国内产量5.89%,减少进口3.55%,减少排放253.54 × 103 tCO2。技术进步可以缓解全球因气候变化导致的产量下降1.36%-9.13%,将中国大豆进口量稳定在- 0.01%-0.08%,并减少4.78 × 103 - 45.60 × 103吨二氧化碳的排放。这些适应性策略为提高大豆供应链的弹性提供了可行的见解。

Carbon emissions of the aviation sector are expected to double by 2050, and there is an urgent need to change the approach to product and system design to enable a sustainability transition. Through a systematic literature review, this paper analyses 51 studies and provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of sustainable product development in the design of aircraft systems and sub-systems. A taxonomy of challenges across six categories is proposed, ranging from socio-ecological issues, regulations, economic context, design process, cognitive barriers, and technological limitations. This taxonomy supports clarifying the nature of problems practitioners may encounter when implementing sustainable product development. While aerospace companies face systemic challenges, this study argues that they can overcome structural, human, and technical barriers. But to overcome this, sustainable product development capabilities need to be developed, which this study maps across product development phases and organisational levels. Fourteen aerospace-tailored support methods are reviewed through the lens of these capabilities, showing gaps in enabling cross-functional communication, managing trade-offs systematically, and mitigating sustainability risks. This study advances the field of Sustainable Product Development by offering a sector-specific synthesis of challenges, capabilities, and support methods in aerospace. The findings align with broader sustainability literature and provide a foundation for future cross-sectoral research and methodological development. Together, these contributions support aerospace practitioners in navigating sustainable product development challenges, developing critical capabilities, and calls for further research to accelerate sustainability integration in product development.
到2050年,航空业的碳排放量预计将翻一番,迫切需要改变产品和系统设计方法,以实现可持续转型。本文通过系统的文献综述,分析了51项研究,全面概述了飞机系统和子系统设计中可持续产品开发的现状。提出了六类挑战的分类,包括社会生态问题、法规、经济背景、设计过程、认知障碍和技术限制。这种分类法有助于澄清从业者在实施可持续产品开发时可能遇到的问题的性质。虽然航空航天公司面临着系统性挑战,但本研究认为,他们可以克服结构、人力和技术障碍。但为了克服这一点,需要开发可持续的产品开发能力,本研究将其映射到产品开发阶段和组织层面。通过这些能力对14种航空航天定制支持方法进行了审查,显示了在实现跨职能沟通、系统管理权衡和减轻可持续性风险方面的差距。本研究通过提供航空航天领域特定领域的挑战、能力和支持方法的综合,推进了可持续产品开发领域。研究结果与更广泛的可持续发展文献相一致,为未来的跨部门研究和方法发展奠定了基础。总之,这些贡献支持航空航天从业者应对可持续产品开发挑战,开发关键能力,并呼吁进一步研究以加速产品开发中的可持续性集成。

Global potential of integrated biorefineries for leaf protein and sugar: Producing sustainable food and preventing starvation in catastrophes 叶蛋白和糖综合生物精炼厂的全球潜力:生产可持续粮食和防止灾难中的饥饿
IF 9.6 1区 环境科学与生态学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-05-01 Epub Date: 2026-03-03 DOI: 10.1016/j.spc.2026.02.009

To accommodate population growth and shifting diets, the global protein supply must increase. Simultaneously, rising climate variability increases agricultural yield shocks, disrupting conventional crops. Worse, global catastrophes such as nuclear war or pandemics could collapse the global food system. Here, we turn to the potential of grasslands and plentiful legume biomass (e.g., alfalfa, clover) to address these challenges.
We demonstrate the potential and cost of integrated biorefineries for food production from biomass to obtain leaf protein concentrate (LPC), lignocellulosic sugar, and/or single-cell protein (SCP). These sustainable alternatives to conventional protein and sugar sources show remarkable global production potential: LPC + sugar could fulfill ~5% of the caloric requirements in one year, while LPC factories alone could fulfill global protein needs within 2 years. Combining LPC and SCP production enables food protein per hectare yields higher than any conventional food crop. Our crop modeling shows that LPC from grasslands could be more than enough to cover global calorie requirements. Even in extreme nuclear winter scenarios, grasslands could meet global protein requirements. However, this would require a large effort to multiply global legume biomass production several times over.
The product is affordable for global catastrophe response, at ~$1/kg (dry) of food, or a retail cost of ~$1–2/person/day to fulfill energy needs. Locations with long growing seasons, low biomass cost, and repurposable infrastructure minimize production costs. Future work should model tradeoffs with competing uses of land (food crops, grazing, etc.) to improve policy recommendations for crisis response.
为了适应人口增长和饮食结构的变化,全球蛋白质供应必须增加。与此同时,气候变化的加剧加剧了农业产量的冲击,扰乱了传统作物。更糟糕的是,核战争或流行病等全球性灾难可能会使全球粮食体系崩溃。在这里,我们转向草原和丰富的豆科植物生物量(如苜蓿、三叶草)的潜力来解决这些挑战。我们展示了从生物质食品生产中获得叶蛋白浓缩物(LPC)、木质纤维素糖和/或单细胞蛋白(SCP)的综合生物精炼厂的潜力和成本。这些可持续的替代传统蛋白质和糖的来源显示出巨大的全球生产潜力:LPC +糖可以在一年内满足~5%的热量需求,而仅LPC工厂就可以在两年内满足全球蛋白质需求。结合LPC和SCP生产,每公顷粮食蛋白的产量高于任何传统粮食作物。我们的作物模型显示,来自草原的LPC可能足以满足全球的卡路里需求。即使在极端的核冬天情况下,草原也能满足全球对蛋白质的需求。然而,这将需要付出巨大的努力,使全球豆科植物生物量产量增加几倍。该产品对于全球灾难响应来说是负担得起的,每公斤(干)食物约1美元,或者满足能源需求的零售成本约为1 - 2美元/人/天。生长季节长、生物质成本低、基础设施可重复利用的地区可以最大限度地降低生产成本。未来的工作应该模拟土地竞争用途(粮食作物、放牧等)的权衡,以改进应对危机的政策建议。

Palm oil production significantly impacts greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and biodiversity, prompting many stakeholders to demand Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification. This study provides a comprehensive life cycle assessment comparing RSPO certified and non-certified palm oil production across the five largest producing countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Colombia, and Nigeria, which account for over 90% of global production. Using both consequential and attributional modelling approaches, we analysed production data from 2021. Results are compared with data from 2016 and for smallholders. For certified production, we utilised primary data from RSPO's mandatory GHG calculation database, covering 32–63% of certified cultivation areas across countries. Results demonstrate that RSPO certified palm oil performs significantly better than non-certified, showing 36% lower global warming potential and 37% reduced nature occupation impacts from a market perspective. The environmental benefits of certified palm oil stem primarily from reduced cultivation on peatlands and increased palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment with biogas capture. Global warming impacts range from 1.9 to 11.7 kg CO₂-eq. per kg refined palm oil, varying substantially between production practices and regions. Comparing with data for 2016 showed relatively small differences, while cultivation practises among smallholders showed higher global warming potential and nature conservation impacts. Sub-national analysis reveals considerable regional variation, particularly in Malaysia's Sarawak region where non-certified production on peat results in substantially higher impacts. The study identifies key improvement opportunities including eliminating cultivation on least-yielding peatlands, expanding biogas capture technologies, and enhancing smallholder operational efficiency to further reduce environmental impacts.
棕榈油生产对温室气体(GHG)排放和生物多样性产生重大影响,促使许多利益相关者要求获得可持续棕榈油圆桌会议(RSPO)认证。这项研究提供了一个全面的生命周期评估,比较了五个最大生产国的RSPO认证和非认证棕榈油生产:印度尼西亚、马来西亚、泰国、哥伦比亚和尼日利亚,这五个国家占全球产量的90%以上。使用结果和归因建模方法,我们分析了2021年的生产数据。结果与2016年的数据和小农的数据进行了比较。对于认证生产,我们使用了来自RSPO强制性温室气体计算数据库的原始数据,涵盖了各国认证种植面积的32-63%。结果表明,RSPO认证的棕榈油表现明显优于未认证的棕榈油,从市场角度来看,其全球变暖潜势降低了36%,对自然占用的影响降低了37%。经认证的棕榈油的环境效益主要来自减少泥炭地的种植和增加用沼气捕获处理棕榈油厂污水(POME)。全球变暖的影响范围为1.9至11.7千克二氧化碳当量。每公斤精炼棕榈油,因生产方式和地区而有很大差异。与2016年的数据相比,差异相对较小,而小农的种植方式显示出更高的全球变暖潜力和自然保护影响。次国家分析显示了相当大的区域差异,特别是在马来西亚沙捞越地区,未经认证的泥炭生产导致了更大的影响。该研究确定了关键的改进机会,包括消除在产量最低的泥炭地的种植,推广沼气捕获技术,以及提高小农的经营效率,以进一步减少对环境的影响。

Slowing, narrowing, and closing material flows: Impacts on metal demands in wind and solar power 减缓、缩小和关闭物质流:对风能和太阳能金属需求的影响

Ambitious electrification and decarbonization targets will increase demand for metals used in renewable electricity technologies. Circular economy strategies have been proposed to curb this demand, but the combined impacts of longer design lifespans, material-intensity reductions, substitution, and recycling—strategies that slow, narrow, and close material flows—remain unquantified. Here we estimate the quantities of germanium, gallium, neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium required for a large-scale deployment of wind and solar power in Sweden through 2050. We then assess how these strategies affect material demand. We find that across metals, their combined implementation can reduce cumulative primary metal demand by 52–60% for wind and 55–72% for solar power, substantially lowering dependence on primary production. Strategies that narrow material flows demonstrate the greatest reduction potential. Nevertheless, primary demand persists for most metals through 2050, indicating that additional primary or other secondary supplies will still be necessary. The impact of circular economy strategies is metal-, technology-, market-share- and time-dependent. Therefore, no single strategy fits all contexts, instead tailored portfolios are needed to reduce metal demand. A trade-off emerges within the transition period to 2050: a combination of strategies that most reduce gross metal demand can increase primary demand. This trade-off requires industrial and policy decision-makers to choose between minimizing the total material throughput or the reliance on primary supply. Ultimately, tailored portfolios of strategies that slow, narrow, and close material flows are essential to reduce metal demand and support the transition to a renewable electricity system.
雄心勃勃的电气化和脱碳目标将增加对可再生电力技术中使用的金属的需求。循环经济策略已经被提出来抑制这种需求,但是更长的设计寿命、材料强度降低、替代和回收的综合影响——减缓、缩小和关闭材料流的策略——仍然无法量化。在这里,我们估计了到2050年瑞典大规模部署风能和太阳能所需的锗、镓、钕、镨、镝和铽的数量。然后我们评估这些策略如何影响材料需求。我们发现,在所有金属中,它们的联合实施可以使风能的累计初级金属需求减少52-60%,太阳能的累计初级金属需求减少55-72%,大大降低了对初级生产的依赖。缩小物质流动的战略显示出最大的减少潜力。然而,到2050年,对大多数金属的初级需求仍将持续,这表明仍然需要额外的初级或其他次级供应。循环经济战略的影响与金属、技术、市场份额和时间有关。因此,没有一种策略适合所有情况,而是需要量身定制的投资组合来减少金属需求。在到2050年的过渡期内,一种权衡出现了:最能减少金属总需求的战略组合可以增加主要需求。这种权衡要求工业和政策决策者在最大限度地减少总材料吞吐量或依赖初级供应之间做出选择。最终,量身定制的战略组合,减缓、缩小和关闭物质流动,对于减少金属需求和支持向可再生电力系统过渡至关重要。

Uncovering the true life cycle costs of hydrogen production pathways from water electrolysis in China 揭示中国水电解制氢途径的真实生命周期成本

The high cost of hydrogen production via water electrolysis remains a major barrier to its large-scale deployment. This paper systematically assesses the levelized cost of hydrogen production and full life cycle carbon emissions across 31 provinces in China. The evaluation covers three hydrogen production scenarios (off-grid, partially grid-connected and grid-connected systems) and two electrolysis technologies: alkaline water electrolysis and PEM electrolysis. Furthermore, the true-life cycle costs of these two electrolysis technologies are comprehensively assessed across different production scenarios, considering hydrogen production, storage and transportation, hydrogen refueling station infrastructure and environmental externalities. In addition, based on technological learning curves, this study projects the cost evolution trends of four electrolysis technologies (alkaline water electrolysis, PEM, AEM and SOEC) under off-grid scenario for 2030 and 2060. The assessment results indicate that, partially grid-connected hydrogen production generally exhibits better economics than the other pathways across most provinces. Off-grid hydrogen production requires the integration of power storage systems, which increases investment and leads to higher overall costs; consequently, its economic competitiveness remains limited. Based on alkaline water electrolysis, the average total levelized costs of partially grid-connected hydrogen production are 46.62 and 47.41 CNY/kg H₂ for PV and wind power, respectively. The corresponding costs of off-grid production are 51.94 and 52.84 CNY/kg H₂, respectively. Finally, this paper proposes specific suggestions to effectively reduce the overall cost of hydrogen production via water electrolysis, thereby providing a scientific basis for the selection of appropriate production pathways.
水电解制氢的高成本仍然是其大规模部署的主要障碍。本文系统地评估了中国31个省份的制氢平准化成本和全生命周期碳排放。评估涵盖三种制氢方案(离网、部分并网和并网系统)和两种电解技术:碱性水电解和PEM电解。此外,考虑到氢气生产、储存和运输、加氢站基础设施和环境外部性,对这两种电解技术的真实生命周期成本进行了综合评估。此外,基于技术学习曲线,预测了2030年和2060年离网情景下碱水电解、PEM、AEM和SOEC四种电解技术的成本演变趋势。评估结果表明,在大多数省份,部分并网制氢总体上优于其他途径的经济性。离网制氢需要整合电力存储系统,这会增加投资并导致更高的总成本;因此,它的经济竞争力仍然有限。基于碱水电解,部分并网制氢的光伏发电和风电平均总平准化成本分别为46.62元和47.41元/kg H 2。相应的离网生产成本分别为51.94元和52.84元/kg H₂。最后,本文提出具体建议,有效降低水电解制氢的总体成本,为选择合适的生产途径提供科学依据。

Existing research suggests that additive manufacturing (AM) can facilitate the circular economy in construction, but most studies focus on reducing up-front embodied impacts of new components rather than improving whole-life-cycle sustainability. This mapping review synthesizes how AM has contributed to circularity in construction, and how this contribution has been assessed. Using a large language model-assisted method, 216 unique AM case studies were identified and analysed in terms of circularity strategies, environmental assessments, component types, materials, and technological readiness levels (TRLs). AM shows the clearest contribution to reducing material use, particularly for horizontal structures, and interest is growing in strategies to increase material circulation. In this regard, AM seems especially promising for adapting existing components to new uses. Evidence for environmental benefits remains limited across circularity strategies because only 41% of cases were assessed, and these assessments were often narrow in life-cycle coverage and metrics, and lacking in comparisons to conventional manufacturing. Future AM research should explore reuse and repair of existing components, combine multiple strategies, assess whole-life-cycle impacts, and validate performance under real-world constraints.
现有研究表明,增材制造(AM)可以促进建筑中的循环经济,但大多数研究都侧重于减少新部件的前期具体影响,而不是提高整个生命周期的可持续性。这篇地图综述综合了AM如何对建筑中的循环性做出贡献,以及如何评估这种贡献。使用大型语言模型辅助方法,根据循环策略、环境评估、组件类型、材料和技术准备水平(trl)确定和分析了216个独特的AM案例研究。AM在减少材料使用方面表现出最明显的贡献,特别是对于水平结构,并且人们对增加材料流通的策略越来越感兴趣。在这方面,增材制造似乎特别有希望使现有组件适应新的用途。循环战略的环境效益证据仍然有限,因为只有41%的案例进行了评估,而且这些评估往往在生命周期覆盖范围和指标方面很窄,缺乏与传统制造业的比较。未来的增材制造研究应该探索现有组件的重用和修复,结合多种策略,评估全生命周期的影响,并在现实世界的约束下验证性能。

China's photovoltaic (PV) industry, driven by its carbon neutrality targets and unparalleled installation scale, is facing an imminent surge of end-of-life crystalline silicon (c-Si) modules. This emerging challenge simultaneously represents a crucial opportunity for resource recovery and circular economy advancement. While global studies have addressed general PV recycling frameworks, an integrated evaluation tailored to China's industrial ecosystem (combining regulatory, technological, and economic dimensions) remains limited. This work presents a comprehensive assessment of China's c-Si PV recycling system, linking policy and standard development with technological routes. In particular, the study examines the progression from laboratory research to industrial practice across the recycling value chain. Moreover, major challenges and directions for advancing efficient and sustainable PV recycling are discussed. To date, recycling policies and standards have promoted a shift toward high-value and low-carbon process routes. High recovery rates are primarily determined by effective delamination and valuable component recovery. Advancing innovation in hybrid recycling technologies remains a key prerequisite for sustainable scale-up and industrialisation. With integrated policy, technological, and industrial alignment, China's PV recycling industry has the potential to serve as a valuable reference for high-value and sustainable resource recovery.
在碳中和目标和无与伦比的安装规模的推动下,中国的光伏产业正面临着即将到来的晶体硅(c-Si)组件的激增。这一新出现的挑战同时也是资源回收和循环经济发展的重要机遇。虽然全球研究已经解决了一般的光伏回收框架,但针对中国产业生态系统(结合监管、技术和经济维度)的综合评估仍然有限。这项工作对中国碳硅光伏回收系统进行了全面评估,将政策和标准的发展与技术路线联系起来。特别是,该研究考察了从实验室研究到整个回收价值链的工业实践的进展。此外,还讨论了推进高效和可持续光伏回收的主要挑战和方向。迄今为止,回收政策和标准推动了向高价值和低碳工艺路线的转变。高回收率主要取决于有效的分层和有价值的组分回收。推进混合回收技术的创新仍然是可持续规模化和工业化的关键先决条件。通过政策、技术和产业的整合,中国的光伏回收产业有潜力为高价值和可持续的资源回收提供有价值的参考。

Who consumes and who conserves? Housing energy use and technology adoption across lifestyle groups 谁消费,谁节约?不同生活方式群体的住房能源使用和技术采用
IF 9.6 1区 环境科学与生态学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-05-01 Epub Date: 2026-02-27 DOI: 10.1016/j.spc.2026.02.008

Residential energy consumption is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and carbon inequalities, yet patterns of energy consumption and technology adoption vary substantially across social groups. This study examines how multidimensional lifestyle affiliations shape pro-environmental consumption patterns, including sufficiency, efficiency and consistency compatible practices. Drawing on a nationally representative survey carried out in Germany with a final sample size of 1817 respondents, we deploy latent class analysis to identify six distinct lifestyle types based on socio-economic, attitudinal and housing characteristics. We then assess how affiliation with these lifestyle types relates to differences in pro-environmental energy-related behaviours, household carbon footprints, and subjective well-being, using Welch ANOVA and Games–Howell post hoc tests. The findings show marked heterogeneity across lifestyle classes: high-income groups living in spacious dwellings tend to exhibit the highest per-capita energy use and carbon footprints, whereas affluent but younger and urban households display the lowest. Families show the highest uptake of energy-efficient and renewable technologies, while sufficiency-oriented practices appear to be driven by necessity rather than pro-environmental or sufficiency-oriented values. Subjective well-being also differs across lifestyle types, with high income not consistently associated with higher well-being, highlighting the potential role of values, life stage, and housing characteristics. Finally, we find that similar levels of energy consumption can result from distinct mechanisms – in some cases through reduced consumption, and in others through the adoption of efficiency or consistency technologies. These findings highlight the need for differentiated and equity-sensitive policy mixes, such as progressive pricing for high-consuming groups combined with rent-neutral efficiency standards and targeted support for structurally constrained households.
住宅能源消费是温室气体(GHG)排放和碳不平等的主要来源,但能源消费模式和技术采用在不同社会群体之间差异很大。本研究探讨了多维生活方式的从属关系如何塑造亲环境的消费模式,包括充分性,效率和一致性兼容的做法。根据在德国进行的一项具有全国代表性的调查,最终样本量为1817名受访者,我们采用潜在阶级分析,根据社会经济、态度和住房特征确定六种不同的生活方式类型。然后,我们利用韦尔奇方差分析和Games-Howell事后检验,评估了这些生活方式类型与亲环境能源相关行为、家庭碳足迹和主观幸福感的差异之间的关系。研究结果显示了不同生活方式阶层的显著异质性:居住在宽敞住宅中的高收入群体往往表现出最高的人均能源消耗和碳足迹,而富裕但年轻的城市家庭则表现出最低的人均能源消耗和碳足迹。家庭对能源效率和可再生技术的接受程度最高,而面向充足的做法似乎是由必要性而不是亲环境或面向充足的价值观驱动的。主观幸福感也因生活方式的不同而不同,高收入并不总是与更高的幸福感相关,突出了价值观、生活阶段和住房特征的潜在作用。最后,我们发现,相似的能源消耗水平可以由不同的机制产生——在某些情况下,通过减少消耗,在其他情况下,通过采用效率或一致性技术。这些研究结果强调需要采取差异化和公平敏感的政策组合,例如对高消费群体实行累进定价,结合租金中性效率标准,并对结构受限的家庭提供有针对性的支持。

Unlocking the wider potential of aquaculture in circular food systems in Europe 释放水产养殖在欧洲循环粮食系统中的更广泛潜力

Aquaculture likely plays an important role in future diets, yet the potential of aquaculture to upcycle biomass and supply nutrients in circular food systems remains largely unstudied. Under the circularity paradigm, animal production is constrained by the availability of so called low-opportunity-cost feed (LCF). Aquaculture species differ in their ability to convert LCF into food, and the implication for nutrient supply in food systems are unclear. In this paper we explore the specific role of aquaculture to upcycle LCF into valuable food for humans in Europe using the resource allocation model FEEDSOM (FEED Systems Optimization Model). We provide insight into what nutrients aquaculture can supply to the human diet, how much aquatic food can be produced when animals are fed exclusively with LCF, and what LCF can be recycled into fish feed. We selected Atlantic salmon, European seabass and common carp, produced in multiple productivity levels, to represent European aquaculture. Carnivorous aquaculture species can play an important role in circular food systems by upcycling eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) from fisheries by-products. However, their dependence on fisheries by-products to supply EPA/DHA also limits their capacity to expand. Omnivorous aquaculture species do not rely on fisheries to supply EPA/DHA, but their overall contribution to EPA/DHA supply is relatively low. We found that under current aquaculture production and consumption in Europe, we cannot supply enough EPA/DHA for the European population. To reduce the nutrient gap of EPA/DHA, we can either increase aquaculture or eat more edible parts of the fish (both fish from aquaculture and fisheries). However, expanding aquaculture should not be the priority, as this requires more LCF, production area, and puts pressure on the environment. Eating more edible parts of the fish can provide enough nutrients, including EPA/DHA, to meet the demand of the European population and help feed an additional 118 million people outside Europe.
水产养殖可能在未来的饮食中发挥重要作用,但水产养殖在生物质升级和循环粮食系统中提供营养物质方面的潜力在很大程度上仍未得到研究。在循环模式下,动物生产受到所谓低机会成本饲料(LCF)的限制。水产养殖物种将LCF转化为食物的能力不同,这对食物系统中营养供应的影响尚不清楚。在本文中,我们利用资源分配模型FEEDSOM(饲料系统优化模型)探讨了水产养殖在欧洲将LCF升级为人类有价值的食物中的具体作用。我们提供了关于水产养殖可以为人类饮食提供哪些营养,当动物完全用LCF喂养时可以生产多少水生食物,以及哪些LCF可以回收为鱼类饲料的见解。我们选择了大西洋鲑鱼、欧洲鲈鱼和鲤鱼,以不同的生产力水平来代表欧洲的水产养殖。肉食性水产养殖物种可以通过从渔业副产品中回收二十二碳五烯(EPA)和二十二碳六烯(DHA)在循环食物系统中发挥重要作用。然而,它们依赖渔业副产品供应EPA/DHA也限制了它们扩大的能力。杂食性水产养殖物种不依赖渔业提供EPA/DHA,但它们对EPA/DHA供应的总体贡献相对较低。我们发现,在欧洲目前的水产养殖生产和消费水平下,我们无法为欧洲人口提供足够的EPA/DHA。为了减少EPA/DHA的营养缺口,我们要么增加水产养殖,要么多吃鱼的可食用部分(包括水产养殖和渔业的鱼)。然而,扩大水产养殖不应成为优先事项,因为这需要更多的LCF和生产面积,并对环境造成压力。食用更多的鱼的可食用部分可以提供足够的营养,包括EPA/DHA,以满足欧洲人口的需求,并帮助养活欧洲以外额外的1.18亿人。
