New guidance from @SBT_network explains how companies can protect and restore nature using #ScienceBasedTargets: bit.ly/3kyM39O

Happy to share our new #openaccess paper on mapping global patterns of land use decision-making @IVM_VU @VU_science Amsterdam Centre for World Food Studies Elsevier Environment doi.org/10.1016/j.gloe… Together with Peter Verburg 🌳 we studied how contextual conditions can explain why and how we change land use. 1/9

Recent study In nature suggests what it would take to bend the curve of #biodiversity loss - and where we are headed if we don’t. Here is the main figure and a link to an informative journalistic article on the research paper phys.org/news/2020-09-b…

An event becomes a crisis when the system is unable to handle the shock. Underlying conditions make our current system fragile, and structural economic reform is needed to genuinely build back better. Read more: bit.ly/3l7waYt #greenrecovery #systemsthinking #covid19

Next week I'm speaking at the Global Food Summit as part of Berlin Science Week, covering topics such as measurement and data at Metabolic, and whether we need tech innovation or behavioural change for a sustainable system (we need both). Register here: globalfoodsummit.com

One of the points of feedback that we always get from clients at Metabolic is that we do well in communicating complexity. Shout out to the graphics team!

Very nice opportunities to strengthen our department. All land system scientists are very welcome to apply!

Nice @PlieningerLab, a perfect quote!

I am happy to share our latest paper with @kenbyrne8 & @ThosCummins published in Global Change Biology assessing the soil C balance of afforested peatlands. These peatlands were net sources of soil C. Peatlands should not be drained #PeatTwitter #PeatPaper onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc…

For those who are interested in terrestrial ecoregions of the world, there is now a complete set of descriptions and updates to GIS boundaries available. See here for blog post that outlines the work done. Pleased to have helped with the African section oneearth.org/announcing-the…

Great thread on various studies showing benefits of organic or agroecological over conventional Louisa Max Opray Metabolic

This wonderful. We need more visions of techno-optimist regenerative futures! And love the Miyazaki inspiration. Great job Chobani!

Is organic farming beneficial? We observed reduced ecotoxicity (-81%), erosion (-50%), a lower global warming potential (-50%), more earthworms (+90%), more mycorrhizas (+20%), higher per ha income, but less yield (-21%). Check out our paper: advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/34/e…

Everything you need to know about #regenerativeagriculture. Our Agrifood Team has addressed its fundamental characteristics, the difference between #regenerative and #organic farming, and how businesses can operationalize it in a series of blogs. Read more in the thread:

Great thread

Excellent study on indirect sourcing of commodities and the challenges that poses for avoiding deforestation. As well as the opportunities for traders to avoid avoiding deforestation 👁👁
