Metrics for land-scarce agriculture
Nutrient content must be better integrated into planning
Over the past half-century, the paradigm for agricultural development has been to maximize yields through intensifying production, particularly for cereal crops (
1
). Increasing production of high-yielding cereals—wheat, rice, and maize—has replaced more nutrient-rich cereals, which has eroded the content of essential dietary nutrients in the world's cereal supply. New approaches are needed to produce healthy foods, rich in essential nutrients, with efficient use of land. Standard yield metrics that measure the quantity of production are inadequate to assess progress toward this goal; thus, we propose alternative metrics of nutritional yields.

Monitoring the world's agriculture
To feed the world without further damaging the planet, Jeffrey Sachs and 24 food-system experts call for a global data collection and dissemination network to track the myriad impacts of different farming practices.

* Agriculture is assessed at different scales, using inconsistent methods and narrow criteria * A common set of metrics must be collected at comparable scales * The resultant, freely available data should inform farming practices worldwide
