Using 21 community food webs, we tested Elton's two hypotheses regarding the main factors limiting food-chain length in terrestrial communities, namely, energy (energy limitation hypothesis—ELH) and body size (size limitation hypothesis—SLH). As predators tend to be larger than their prey, food...
When broader groups of components (e.g., orders, classes) are considered as units because of similarities of their interactions or when specific limited pathways within the grander web are considered, there is a more chain-like structure. The interactions between components of the biological ...
For instance, certain manufacturers have operations upstream or downstream along the food chain, such as the Kraft Heinz company that not only produces packaged foods, but provides almost a third of processing tomato seeds across the globe [69]. Other companies are cooperatives and inherently ...
as well as underlying governance and knowledge systems. Networks include actors upstream and downstream from farmers in the value chain (VC), state actors at multiple scales, and a diverse range of third sector and civil society organisations (CSOs) (Avelino and Wittmayer2016; Fischer and Newig...
Parallel to this is the adage of the standard food security definition, which observes that the modern retailer-driven food supply chain has generally provided consumers with sustained physical and economic access to enough safe and nutritious food. There is a need to balance the benefits of ...

The ratio of predator-to-prey biomass is a key element of trophic structure that is typically investigated from a food chain perspective, ignoring channels of energy transfer (e.g. omnivory) that may govern community structure. Here, we address this shortcoming by characterising the biomass structu...
Several studies discussed socio-economic factors of dairy alternatives, though predominantly on affordability and the demand-side of the food chain (Kaljonen et al.2021). Clegg et al. (2021) explored consequences of PBM on household expenditure and found that PBM products in the UK were almost ...
food chain, that is, primary production, storage, processing, distribution, etc. In addition to the central and longitudinal food safety work of the Food Quality and Standards Service, several units (animal production and health, plant production and protection, marine fisheries and aquaculture, ...
