🌍 Current global food systems are contributors to climate change because they account for approximately 35% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, leading to biodiversity loss and water pollution,. Find out how #RADIANTPROJECT is contributing to agri-food sustainability.

50 years ago, on February 7, 1973, I won my first science medal at an open biology exam in my high school, Kisújszállás, Hungary. The second award I received was the Rosenstiel award in February 2021.

New Nature paper. Europe already outsources much ag production, fueling tropical deforestation. Bioenergy in Fit for 55 plan does more: diverts 20% of EU cropland to bioenergy, 4x increase in wood imports for bioenergy, and loss of half of EU's diverse semi-natural grasslands.
EU climate plan sacrifices carbon storage and biodiversity for bioenergy go.nature.com/3AU2bxx

#COP27 ends, our quick take:
-Hopeful: agreement on loss & damage
-Bad: we’re on track to 2.7C
-Significant: 1st agreement to include action on agriculture & #foodsecurity
-Disappointing: #agroecology & #foodsystems deleted
-Dismaying: zero #climatefinance for small-scale farmers

Let s not be fooled, Ukrainian grain has mostly fed pork in Spain, China and Northern Europe. It s not a humanitarian corridor.
To keep prices low it s essential to have transparency on stocks, impose windfall taxes and halt speculation. @IPESfood @FAO un.org/en/black-sea-grain-in… – at Brussels, Belgium

I am so so sorry to hear that the brilliant Herman Daly - founding father of ecological economics - has died. His paradigm-changing work flipped my little econ head inside out & inspired me to write a book on rewriting economics… Here are just some of his big ideas 1/n.

ABCD: four companies have long dominated the global grain trade. These grain giants have made a bonanza from the #foodcrisis. It’s time to take them apart

Public food procurement can help to support small-scale farmers and at the same time improve the access to fresh, seasonal and healthy food in the public canteens.
Find out how in the #COACHeu video by @ICLEI_procure on F2F public procurement.

So sad to hear of Bruno Latour's passing. It was one of the greatest delights of my life to work with him, to get to know him, to share so many ideas - and laughs. Clever, generous, warm, endlessly curious, creative - his life an inspiration. Farewell, unforgettable Bruno.
