伦敦, 2025年11月12日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 一项发表在《 Animals 》期刊上的新研究指出，工业化畜牧业是推动气候与生物多样性危机的最强大、却长期被忽视的力量之一。该研究题为《被忽视的目标：为何工业化畜牧业必须成为气候议程的核心》，综合分析了47项国际研究的证据，得出结论：要实现全球气候目标，必须减少畜牧业生产，并转向以植物为基础的食品体系。主要见解全球研究显示，畜牧业每年约占全球温室气体排放总量的12%至20%，其中最全面的研究得出的比例最高。采用最新核算方法（包括森林砍伐、底拖网捕捞及某些大气污染物的冷却效应）后发现，当今全球变暖的52%可归因于动物性农业。动物性农业占据了全球农业用地的80%以上，却仅提供全球18%的热量和37%的蛋白质，这使得在未来人口快速增长的情况下，满足人类食物需求变得更加困难。在其他由食物生产引起的环境影响中，该行业还造成了50%的水体富营养化和32%的土壤酸化。若生产趋势不改变，包括新兴经济体在内的快速发展地区，预计将出现畜牧业排放的最剧烈增长。生物多样性研究表明，以肉类为主的饮食结构可能导致三至四倍于植物性饮食的生物多样性损失。为何植物性转变至关重要该分析从环境角度提出了有力的论据，呼吁改变饮食结构。转向以植物为主的饮食模式可显著减少温室气体排放，减轻森林与淡水系统的压力，并降低饲料作物与粪肥造成的营养污染。这种转变不仅能缓解气候影响，还能帮助恢复生态系统，并保护野生动植物。对政策制定者的启示作者呼吁，各类全球气候框架——包括气候峰会和《巴黎协定》下的国家计划——必须纳入明确的动物性产品生产与消费削减目标。若不应对这一领域，将全球升温控制在远低于2°C（更不用说1.5°C）的希望将大打折扣。为确保措施有效且公平，分析强调，解决方案还必须考虑地区现实。在发展中经济体中，饮食转型应与粮食安全、文化偏好及农民的公平生计相协调。食品与气候的转折点“在COP30等关键气候与环境政策制定会议上，应对动物性农业给予更多关注的时机早已迫在眉睫。”首席作者珍妮·梅斯（Jenny Mace）表示，“若不大幅缩减动物性农业的规模，要实现气候及其他可持续发展目标将极为困难。”合著者、兽医学教授安德鲁·奈特（Andrew Knight）指出：“工业化畜牧业是全球气候政策中的关键盲区。然而，将食品体系改革——尤其是减少动物性产品——置于气候行动的核心位置，将为人类与地球带来巨大的裨益。”另一位合著者、动物协作组织（Sinergia Animal）的费尔南达·维埃拉（Fernanda Vieira）评论道：“工业化规模的畜牧场是生物多样性丧失、森林砍伐、气候变化以及人畜共患病出现的重要推手。如果我们不正视这些相互关联的问题，实现气候、健康与可持续发展目标的前景将遥不可及。”更多信息:Jenny MaceCentre for Ethics, Philosophy and Public Affairs, University of St Andrews, UKjm609@st-andrews.ac.ukProf. Andrew KnightSchool of Environment and Science, Griffth University, Australiaandrewknightvet@gmail.com来源: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

LONDON, Nov 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A new study in Animals highlights that industrialized animal farming is one of the most powerful - yet persistently neglected - forces driving the climate and biodiversity crises. The analysis, "The Missing Target: Why Industrialized Animal Farming Must Be at the Core of the Climate Agenda," synthesizes evidence from 47 international studies and concludes that reducing livestock production and embracing plant-based food systems is essential for meeting global climate goals.Major InsightsAcross global research, livestock farming contributes an estimated 12-20% of all greenhouse gas emissions annually, with the most comprehensive studies yielding the highest figures.The most modern accounting methods, which include the impacts of deforestation, bottom trawling and cooling effects from certain atmospheric pollutants, reveal that 52% of present-day global warming is attributable to animal agriculture.Animal agriculture occupies over 80% of agricultural land, while providing only 18% of calories and 37% of protein consumed worldwide, making it difficult to meet the needs of a fast-growing future population.Among other food-originating environmental impacts, the sector also creates 50% of eutrophication and 32% of soil acidification.Rapidly developing regions including emerging economies are projected to experience the sharpest growth in livestock emissions unless production trends shift.Biodiversity studies reveal that meat-heavy diets can create three to four times greater biodiversity losses compared to predominantly plant-based diets.Why a Plant-Based Shift MattersThe analysis makes a compelling environmental case for dietary change. Transitioning toward plant-forward eating patterns would drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions, reduce pressure on forests and freshwater systems, and curb nutrient pollution from feed crops and manure. Such a shift would not only mitigate climate impacts but also help restore ecosystems and safeguard wildlife.Implications for PolicymakersThe authors urge that global climate frameworks-such as climate summits and national plans under the Paris Agreement-must integrate clear targets for reducing animal-product production and consumption. Without tackling this sector, the chances of limiting global warming to well below 2°C (let alone 1.5°C) are significantly compromised.To be effective and fair, the analysis stresses, solutions must also consider regional realities. In developing economies, dietary transitions should align with food security, cultural preferences, and equitable livelihoods for farmers.A Turning Point for Food and Climate"The time is long overdue for greater attention on animal agriculture at key climate and environmental policy-making events such as COP30" stated lead author Jenny Mace. "It would be incredibly difficult to achieve climate and other sustainability targets without a significant downsizing of animal agriculture."Stated co-author veterinary Professor Andrew Knight, "Industrial livestock farming represents a critical blind spot in global climate policy. However, placing food system reform - particularly the reduction of animal-based products - at the centre of climate action could unlock enormous benefits for both people and the planet."Co-author Fernanda Vieira of Sinergia Animal commented that, "Industrial-scale farms are a profound driver of biodiversity loss, deforestation, climate change, and the emergence of zoonotic diseases. If we fail to confront these interconnected issues, the prospect of achieving meaningful progress toward our climate, health, and sustainability goals will remain out of reach."FURTHER INFORMATION:Jenny MaceCentre for Ethics, Philosophy and Public Affairs, University of St Andrews, UKjm609@st-andrews.ac.ukProf. Andrew KnightSchool of Environment and Science, Griffth University, Australiaandrewknightvet@gmail.comSOURCE: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

(SeaPRwire) - 批评人士曾称之为孤立主义。但现在国家安全专家表示，特朗普的“美国优先”战略正在证明完全是另一回事——一种建立在强大联盟基础上的强硬威慑政策，尤其是与以色列的联盟。America First Policy Institute美国安全中心副主席、前国家安全委员会幕僚长弗雷德·弗莱茨告诉 数字媒体，“美国优先”的美国国家安全方针意味着强有力的国家安全政策、果断的总统、让我们的国家避免不必要的战争、让联盟成员承担自己的责任，但这也意味着坚定地与以色列站在一起，打击反犹主义，”弗莱茨说。他说，支持以色列不是出于感情。“与以色列站在一起符合我们的战略利益，”他说。“以色列正在应对该地区的敌人，如果以色列不存在，美国将不得不应对这些敌人。因此，这符合我们的战略利益。”Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA)的首席执行官迈克·马科夫斯基说，以色列有效地吸收了原本需要美国采取军事行动的威胁。“从历史上看，我们对该地区感兴趣的原因大约有三个，”他说。“一是以色列。二是石油。三是伊斯兰极端主义——恐怖主义，什叶派和逊尼派。”马科夫斯基说，具有讽刺意味的是，“美国优先”的辩论在“以色列消灭了美国在中东的敌人几个月后”重新浮出水面。他提到了伊朗及其代理人的作用。“他们正在制造弹道导弹……它们可以到达美国东海岸，”他说。“你把导弹和可能袭击美国的核武器结合起来——你在西海岸有朝鲜人；你真的想要伊朗袭击东海岸吗？”根据马科夫斯基的说法，以色列针对这些威胁的行动表明了该联盟的战略价值。“以色列人刚刚做了什么？他们解决了这个问题。美国在最后才派出了B-2……但所有这些工作都是以色列完成的，”他说。他补充说，以色列“几乎消灭了哈马斯”，削弱了真主党——“真主党手上沾染着数百名美国士兵的鲜血”——并继续对抗胡塞武装，以“确保航行自由”。他认为，这就是实际行动中的威慑：“只要我们支持以色列，给予他们一些帮助，给予他们他们需要的武器，他们实际上是在为我们工作。”弗莱茨称伊朗是“最大的威胁”，包括“该地区的各种代理人”。这包括哈马斯、叙利亚的真主党、伊拉克境内伊朗支持的民兵，以及伊朗本身，及其核武器计划和对恐怖主义的赞助。他说，以色列的行动“摧毁了哈马斯代理人，并大大削弱了伊朗”，并补充说，“今年6月，我们与以色列一起对付了伊斯兰国，这对全球安全构成威胁。”两位分析师都将伊朗描绘成与俄罗斯和中国并肩的更广泛的力量轴心的一部分，每个国家都在利用中东的不稳定来削弱美国的影响力——通过助长代理人战争、抬高能源价格以及威胁通过海湾和红海的贸易路线。弗莱茨表示，特朗普愿意果断采取行动“攻击伊朗的核计划”，这体现了利用实力来防止日后代价更高的战争。两人都认为，能源政策是“美国优先”可以衡量的领域。弗莱茨说，“能源优势是特朗普总统‘美国优先’政策的一个非常重要的组成部分，旨在使美国人摆脱高额能源账单。”与此同时，他指出，国外的能源外交加强了国内的经济安全。“通过推动沙特——我认为沙特很乐意在这方面帮助我们——生产更多的石油，实际上可能有助于我们结束乌克兰战争，”他说。马科夫斯基也提出了类似的区域稳定理由：“对海湾阿拉伯石油出口国最大的威胁……是伊朗，”他说。如果没有以色列对德黑兰的遏制，“伊朗很可能会控制中东。如果你关心石油价格，那可不太好。”两位专家都表示，当以色列承担起捍卫能源走廊和贸易路线的重担时，美国人在金钱和部署方面都能节省开支。弗莱茨说，特朗普的原则是选择性使用武力，而不是撤退。“他希望让我们的国家远离新的和不必要的战争，但他会谨慎地使用军事力量来捍卫我们的国家安全，”他说。“他将避免将美国军队派往某些情况并使用军事力量。但这并不意味着当这符合美国战略利益时，他不会做这些事情。”他指出，美国人员目前驻扎在以色列，但“他们不会去加沙”，“也不会参与针对哈马斯的战斗行动”。他说，他们的任务符合最小足迹、最大杠杆作用的模式。马科夫斯基警告说，抛弃以色列会削弱美国的信誉。他回忆起一位阿拉伯高级领导人曾经告诉他：“如果美国不帮助以色列攻击伊朗的核设施，那将是一场巨大的灾难。”“那是因为中东的每个人，亚洲的每个人都知道，美国与以色列的关系是世界上最密切的关系之一，”马科夫斯基说。“如果我们不支持以色列，那就会削弱我们的信誉。伊朗人和朝鲜人知道，如果我们不支持以色列，我们就不会帮助其他盟友……毫无疑问，这将使我们更容易受到中国人的攻击。”弗莱茨说，特朗普为加沙制定的“20点和平计划”体现了“美国优先”在强硬和外交之间的平衡。“它实现了两个主要目标，即让所有在世的被劫持者离开以色列并实行停火，”他说，并承认“停火相当不稳定”。他补充说，下一步是“更好的治理”——一个仍在谈判中的复杂过程。对于两位专家来说，结论都是一样的：“美国优先”并不意味着孤立。它意味着战略伙伴关系，既能让美国军队远离长期战争，又能保持美国的统治地位。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。

HONG KONG, Nov 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Recently, the Bright China 2025 Clear Vision China Myopia Prevention and Control Conference & International Myopia Symposium was held in Shanghai. During the conference, on October 26, Airdoc jointly organized a satellite session themed "Clinical Research and Prospects of PBM(R) Photobiomodulation" with several authoritative experts. At the session, clinical research data on the application of Airdoc's PBM(R) Vision Rehabilitation Device was released, with the aim of promoting the high-quality development of myopia prevention and control endeavors and assisting in achieving the national strategic goals for myopia prevention and control health.At the "Lighthouse - Standards and Guidelines" thematic seminar, Professor Zou Haidong from the Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Center introduced the clinical trial progress of the Airdoc PBM(R) Vision Rehabilitation Device. Professor Zou mentioned, "The currently ongoing clinical trial data shows that, compared with a placebo, the application of the Airdoc PBM(R) Vision Rehabilitation Device can effectively control the myopic shift in axial length and refractive power."Meanwhile, the satellite session themed "Clinical Research and Prospects of PBM(R) Photobiomodulation" was jointly chaired by Professor Wang Xiaojuan from Shanghai First People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and Professor Yu Jun from Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. At the session, Professor He Xiangui from the Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Center, Professor Liu Hong from Shanghai Children's Medical Center, and Professor Chen Zhijun from Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University delivered wonderful thematic reports, providing in-depth analyses of the groundbreaking progress of PBM photobiomodulation technology in the field of myopia prevention and control.Bright China 2025 | Moderators of Airdoc's Satellite Session: Professor Wang Xiaojuan (Left) and Professor Yu Jun (Right)Clinical Research Data on the Solo Application of Airdoc PBM(R) Vision Rehabilitation DeviceProfessor He Xiangui from the Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Center pointed out that although there are currently multiple myopia prevention and control methods in clinical practice, significant individual differences exist among children and adolescents. Some children respond poorly to conventional intervention measures, and there is an urgent need to explore more precise and personalized supplementary solutions. Against this backdrop, PBM photobiomodulation technology, with its advantages of being non-invasive, highly safe, and highly synergistic, has become a research hotspot and an important option in clinical practice.The Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Center conducted a single-center, randomized controlled pilot study titled "LED Red Light for Controlling Myopia Progression." The study included 40 children aged 8 to 12 with simple myopia, who were divided into an intervention group and a control group, with 20 participants in each group. The intervention group received irradiation from the Airdoc PBM(R) Vision Rehabilitation Device (2 sessions per day, 3 minutes per session), while the control group was subjected to extremely low-dose irradiation (0.001 mW, simulating a placebo).The pilot study data revealed that, over a 3-month period, the average axial length changes in the intervention group were as follows: right eye, -0.002 mm; left eye, -0.019 mm. In the control group, the axial length changes were: right eye, +0.059 mm; left eye, +0.075 mm.The change in diopters over the 3-month period for the intervention group was: +0.12D for the right eye and +0.15D for the left eye. For the control group, the average change was: -0.08D for the right eye and -0.13D for the left eye.Compared with the control group, the myopic shift in both axial length and diopter was significantly slowed down in the intervention group. Moreover, up to 85% of participants in the intervention group maintained or improved their vision, which was higher than the 50% in the control group, indicating a higher rate of visual stability. Additionally, there were no serious adverse events, and the compliance was good.Synergistic Enhancement Effect Achieved by Combining Airdoc PBM(R) Vision Rehabilitation Device with Defocus LensesProfessor Liu Hong from Shanghai Children's Medical Center pointed out in her report titled "Research on the Application of Photobiomodulation in Myopia Control" that myopia prevention and control pose a significant challenge worldwide, and ensuring both safety and efficacy is of utmost importance.Currently, the PBM technology applied for myopia prevention and control in China has undergone five iterations. The LED light source technology has also evolved from small LED light spots to the globally advanced PBM-LED(R) annular light spot technology [1]. This technology not only avoids the foveal region of the retina's macula but also safeguards children's clear vision in a safer and more effective manner.Professor Liu Hong presented the preliminary clinical data from a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial currently underway at Shanghai Children's Medical Center. The results demonstrated that after three months of treatment combining defocus lenses with the Airdoc PBM(R) Vision Rehabilitation Device, the effective control rates of axial length elongation reached 80% for the right eye and 84% for the left eye. Compared to using defocus lenses alone, this represented a 29% improvement for the right eye and a 47% improvement for the left eye. The preliminary findings indicate that a combined myopia prevention and control approach can achieve a "synergistic enhancement" effect in children and adolescents.PBM Targeting ipRGC Cells: Unlocking New Keys to Myopia Prevention and Control from the Perspective of Brain ScienceProfessor Chen Zhijun from Children's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University stated, "PBM targeting ipRGC cells regulates the eye-brain signaling, breaking through the boundaries of traditional optical interventions and providing a new pathway for preventing myopia in children." Myopia is not merely a refractive issue but also a typical representative of "eye-brain axis" disorders. Recent studies have found that photobiomodulation, acting on the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), may delay axial length elongation through mechanisms such as regulating dopaminergic signaling pathways, circadian rhythm expression, and pupillary light reflex.The impact of PBM photobiomodulation technology on the visual signal transduction network offers new insights for breaking through the traditional single-optical correction model. Future myopia prevention and control necessitate the establishment of a multidimensional integrated treatment system, driving innovation in personalized and precision-based myopia prevention strategies.Looking ahead, Airdoc will continue to fulfill its mission of "making health accessible everywhere," continuously exploring and innovating in the field of AI-driven myopia prevention and control. We aspire to collaborate with more ecosystem partners to build a globally leading AI-integrated diagnosis and treatment solution for myopia prevention and control, advancing the standardization and widespread adoption of PBM(R) non-invasive phototherapy technology. Together, we aim to illuminate a clear vision for children and adolescents, co-creating a brilliant future for their eye health!Reference:[1] National Intellectual Property Administration - Patent No. ZL202410456292.3Note: PBM(R) and PBM-LED(R) are trademarks legally registered by Airdoc Technology and are protected by relevant laws and regulations, including the "Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China."
