How affordable are the new dietary guidelines? Economists and nutrition experts weigh in.

The food system you depend on today operates very differently from the one that fed previous generations. Not long ago, food was grown in ways that supported the surrounding ecosystem rather than depleting it, producing food that reflected the health of the land itself. That relationship began to change in the mid-20th century, when the Green Revolution accelerated the adoption of industrial, chemical-dependent farming methods. 1 As agricultural practices shifted, the relationship between soil health and human health began to deteriorate. Food quality followed the same downward path as soil structure, microbial diversity, and water retention, resulting in products that fill your stomach while failing to support your health, as well as increased rates of chronic diseases. 2, 3 Growing concern about the long-term consequences of this model has finally brought soil health back into focus as a public priority under the Make America Healthy Again

arXiv:2601.10367v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding how agents coordinate or compete from limited behavioral data is central to modeling strategic interactions in traffic, robotics, and other multi-agent systems. In this work, we investigate the following complementary formulations of inverse game-theoretic learning: (i) a Closed-form Correlated Equilibrium Maximum-Likelihood estimator (CE-ML) specialized for $2\times2$ games; and (ii) a Logit Best Response Maximum-Likelihood estimator (LBR-ML) that captures long-run adaptation dynamics via stochastic response processes. Together, these approaches span the spectrum between static equilibrium consistency and dynamic behavioral realism. We evaluate them on synthetic "chicken-dare" games and traffic-interaction scenarios simulated in SUMO, comparing parameter recovery and distributional fit. Results reveal clear trade-offs between interpretability, computational tractability, and behavioral expressiveness across models.

New research shows tropical forests can recover twice as fast after deforestation when their soils contain enough nitrogen. Scientists followed forest regrowth across Central America for decades and found that nitrogen plays a decisive role in how quickly trees return. Faster regrowth also means more carbon captured from the atmosphere. The study points to smarter reforestation strategies that work with nature rather than relying on fertilizers.

Brazilian scientists say mosquitoes may be biting humans more often as other sources of blood dwindle through biodiversity loss. The team used light traps to capture mosquitoes at two natural reserves in Brazil and tested the blood in their stomachs to see where it came from. They were able to analyse blood meals from 24 mosquitoes, and identified the blood of 18 different people, one amphibian, six birds, one dog, and one mouse, suggesting humans are mosquitoes' favourite food. The researchers say that as Brazil's Atlantic Forest shrinks due to deforestation and human activity, many plants and animals have disappeared. The lack of other food sources may be leading mosquitoes to change their habits and habitats, and to get closer to humans, the team says. The findings could help develop more effective policies and strategies to control disease-carrying mosquitoes and help predict and prevent future disease outbreaks, the researchers conclude.

Stretching along the Brazilian coastline, the Atlantic Forest is home to hundreds of species of birds, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and fishes. However, due to human expansion, only about a third of the forest's original area remains intact.

French researchers compared pesticide purchases by French farms with records of bird numbers for 64 different species, and found 80% of the bird species were less abundant where pesticide purchases were higher. The results suggest pesticides are harming birds, both those that specialise in living on farms and other species who are more occasssional visitors, the scientists say. They add that future research should investigate the toxic impacts of pesticides on birds more thoroughly to determine how these chemicals are disrupting their food webs, and what the long term effects on bird populations could be. For now, minimising pesticide use is the best way to protect wildlife, they conclude.
