I gave a keynote talk at the #ils4 conference in Granada inviting legume researchers to reflect on the gap of influence between value-chain actors and which policies support legume-based cropping systems – at Granada, Spain
At opening of #ilsgranada2023 #ILS4 @Balint_ESSRG discusses the “legume paradox” in #EuropeanUnion – despite benefits, why are legumes not grown or consumed more widely?

🌱 🌱 🌱 Are you aware of the policy paradoxes of underutilised crops? @ESSRG colleagues investigated the implications of the current governance of agrifood systems on the use of underutilised crops in @eu_radiant. Do you have other examples? Share here: radiantproject.eu/policy/

👏Final coordination committee meeting of @COACH_EUProject - a lot to share on Collaborative Agri-food Chains and what drives innovation in Territorial Food Systems - Check out our resource repository:

Can we let ourselves interpret our practices - critically and collectively, in a participatory way? Our senior researcher, György Pataki talked about the @coevolvers Living Lab Methodology, a novel way to reflect on practice-based learning. – at Budapest, Hungary
What this methodology enables:
Helps people involved in a practice to organise and communicate what they have learned, discover better ways to perform and improve practice. – at Budapest, Hungary
Stay tuned for further steps of how this unfolds 👉👉

🌍 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
