https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132253
Abstract
School food environments (SFE)- which include school cafeterias, fast-food restaurants, supermarkets, and other forms of food outlets and food vendors found in the vicinity of the school- offer a unique opportunity to address malnutrition among school children. SFE interventions can promote fruit and vegetables consumption, as well as set children on a life-long path of healthy and sustainable eating behaviors.

Conserving and prioritizing indigenous fruits in the Philippines
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132292
Abstract
Nutrition-related problems are a widespread challenge in the Philippines. Many factors contribute to these problems - the availability and affordability of fruits, for example, which are jeopardized by challenges such as seasonality and inconsistent yields due to the impacts of climate change. Crop improvement and on-farm diversification, particularly using indigenous fruits (IFs), can help address these challenges, while…

Silvopastoral systems and their role in climate change mitigation and nationally determined contributions in Latin America
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/137300
Abstract
Cattle ranching is a productive activity that generates high amounts of greenhouse gases (GHG) such as methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2), but can also provide effective alternatives to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Within the livestock sector, silvopastoral systems (SPS) have the capacity to reduce GHG emissions, increase carbon stocks…
