The Periodic Table of Food Initiative (PTFI): An initial list of the world’s food diversity for compositional investigation.
Here we report a list of diverse and culturally relevant foods that justify compositional cataloging as part of the Periodic Table of Food Initiative (PTFI). The PTFI is a participatory project aimed at addressing food composition information gaps worldwide through a standardized, accessible, and enabling platform based on state-of-the-art nutritional... -

Thermal Niche for Seed Germination and Species Distribution Modelling of Swietenia macrophylla King (Mahogany) under Climate Change Scenarios.
Swietenia macrophylla is an economically important tree species propagated by seeds that lose their viability in a short time, making seed germination a key stage for the species recruitment. The objective of this study was to determine the cardinal temperatures and thermal time for seed germination of S. macrophylla; and... -

Born to Eat Wild: An Integrated Conservation Approach to Secure Wild Food Plants for Food Security and Nutrition.
Overlooked in national reports and in conservation programs, wild food plants (WFPs) have been a vital component of food and nutrition security for centuries. Recently, several countries have reported on the widespread and regular consumption of WFPs, particularly by rural and indigenous communities but also in urban contexts. They are...Borelli, Teresa ; Hunter, Danny ; Powell, Bronwen ; Ulian, Tiziana ; Mattana, Efisio …

Cost Analysis of Seed Conservation of Commercial Pine Species Vulnerable to Climate Change in Mexico.
Mexico is home to 40% of the pine species in the world. By the year 2050, 20% of the Mexican forests could be lost because of climate change and other human-related activities. In this paper, we determine the potential areas for seed collecting of four species of the genus Pinus...Collection cost, Mexico, Seed accession, Nominal investment rate, Pinus, Climate change, and Pines
