Food systems face significant challenges that include increasing demand for agricultural products and accelerating environmental degradation. Regenerative agriculture has emerged as concept to reduce environmental harm while maintaining or even improving productivity. However, adoption of regenerative agriculture remains limited. This partly due to the absence of a shared definition and a standardised process to monitor, assess and report regenerative agriculture outcomes. To address this gap, SAI Platform, a member-led organisation within the food and beverage sector, collaborated with stakeholders to develop a global framework for regenerative agriculture. Drawing from a review of existing frameworks and consultations with SAI Platform members, farmers, and academics, we developed a framework that defines regenerative agriculture as an outcome-based approach that enhances environmental impact. It includes eight regenerative agriculture outcomes across the environmental areas of soil health, biodiversity, water and climate and suggests indicators to quantify progress. The framework process emphasises the need to understand local contexts and farmer needs when implementing regenerative agriculture. It does so through a four-step process that includes (i) a context analysis to identify key material criteria of a production system, (ii) the prioritisation of outcomes based on the context analysis, (iii) the selection of practices to achieve improved performance against prioritised outcomes, and (iv) the development and implementation of continuous improvement plans to monitor and report progress. Farm groups or individual farms can use this framework to independently verify the implementation of the steps defined in the framework and claim different performance levels for progress towards regenerative agriculture. These claims create a foundation for regenerative agriculture programmes, incentive mechanisms, and corporate reporting. While the framework is a starting point, collaboration and refinement are necessary to address evolving challenges in implementation. SAI Platform commits to research and stakeholder engagement to continuously improve the framework and support fair transitions towards regenerative agriculture.

During pregnancy, the maternal immune system plays a central role in maintaining health and preventing disease. Attaining a healthy daily diet contributes to adequate immune fitness, maintaining health, and preventing disease. This pilot study evaluated the relatively underexplored relationships between the stage of pregnancy, immune fitness and the dietary patterns of pregnant women. An online survey was conducted among n = 20 pregnant Turkish women. They reported the number of weeks that they were pregnant and completed the single-item Healthy Diet Scale (HDS) to determine to what extent they considered their daily diet to be healthy. Immune fitness was assessed with a single-item scale ranging from 0 (very poor) to 10 (excellent). Spearman’s correlations (including bootstrapping to account for the small sample size) were computed between weeks pregnant, daily diet scores, and immune fitness. A significant negative correlation was found between weeks pregnant and immune fitness ( r = −0.449, p = .047), and a significant negative correlation was also found between weeks pregnant and the percentage of daily diet considered healthy ( r = −0.642, p = .002). A significant positive correlation was found between immune fitness and the percentage of the daily diet considered healthy ( r = 0.622, p = .003). With progressing pregnancy, poorer immune fitness and a shift towards a less healthy diet were reported. The data suggest that attaining a healthy diet significantly contributes to maintaining adequate immune fitness, which is of particular importance to pregnant women. Future studies in larger cohorts should confirm these findings.

This study explores the relationship between family characteristics and the nutritional KAP (knowledge, attitudes, and practices) of students, as well as the correlation between students' nutritional KAP and their nutritional status. Conducted as a cross-sectional study between September 2022 and January 2023, the research involved 146 primary school students aged 8-12 years and their parents from eight primary schools in Bogor City. The collected data included anthropometric measurements, nutritional KAP assessments, and socio-economic characteristics of the students' families. Most participants exhibited normal nutritional status, sufficient knowledge, good attitudes, and sufficient practice. A significant correlation was found between the mother’s education level and both students' nutritional knowledge (p = 0.027, r = 0.183) and attitudes (p = 0.008, r = 0.220). Additionally, a significant negative association was observed between family size and students’ nutritional practices (p = 0.036, r = -0.174), while parental attitudes showed a significant relationship with students’ nutritional attitudes (p = 0.016, r = 0.199). Among family-related factors, the mother’s education level was the only variable significantly linked to students' nutritional knowledge and attitudes. However, no significant correlation was found between students' nutritional KAP and their overall nutritional status.

Introdução: A alergia à proteína do leite de vaca (APLV) é uma das alergias alimentares mais comuns na infância, afetando crianças menores de 3 anos. No Brasil, a prevalência varia de 1% a 5,4%, com grande impacto no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) devido aos altos custos das fórmulas alimentares especiais utilizadas no tratamento. A implementação de Protocolos Clínicos e Diretrizes Terapêuticas (PCDT) tem se mostrado uma estratégia eficiente para o manejo da APLV. Objetivo: Relatar a experiência do estado do Rio Grande do Norte na implementação do PCDT de APLV e analisar o impacto econômico associado ao fornecimento de fórmulas alimentares especiais. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo baseado em dados de relatórios governamentais e literatura científica, abrangendo o período de 2019 a 2023. Foram avaliados os custos associados ao fornecimento de fórmulas alimentares e o impacto da pandemia de COVID-19 sobre a demanda. A análise incluiu a evolução histórica de atendimentos e cálculos econômicos ajustados pela inflação. Resultados: Entre 2019 e 2023, observou-se aumento na demanda por fórmulas alimentares especiais e nos custos associados, impulsionado pela pandemia e pela volatilidade dos preços. Apesar disso, estratégias administrativas reduziram os custos relacionados às demandas judiciais em até 50%. Em 2023, 595 pacientes foram cadastrados nos programas estaduais, com incremento significativo na cobertura e no acesso ao tratamento. Conclusão: A implementação de políticas públicas como o PCDT de APLV no Rio Grande do Norte demonstrou ser custo-efetiva, ampliando o acesso e otimizando os gastos públicos. Investimentos em diagnóstico precoce e gestão administrativa eficiente são fundamentais para melhorar os desfechos clínicos e econômicos.
