Limited net-export capacity undermines the Netherlands' 'feeding the world' narrative.
Article in Nature food, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The Dutch agricultural sector's orientation towards exports attracts divergent views. Whereas some stakeholders advocate maintaining exports to help 'feed the world', others question the validity of this rationale and its environmental consequences. Here we assess the Netherlands' net-export potential using an agroecological food system model. We find that producing the food groups currently consumed domestically would require all available land in the country. Even with a shift towards more plant-based diets, the potential to export food remains limited if land is also required for strengthening natural ecosystems and fostering the biobased economy. These findings challenge the economic 'feeding the world' narrative and underscore the need for an ecological perspective. Our approach can be applied to other regions, helping to redefine their role in the global food supply.
