Eating locally is not an effective way to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet. This is despite a recent paper in Nature Food claiming that 'food miles' make up 20% of food emissions. In my latest Substack post I explain why this is wrong: hannahritchie.substack.com/p/food-miles

Awesome paper by Matthew Farr et al Zipkin Lab in Conservation Biology who developed a multispecies dynamic N-occupancy model for repeated presence–absence surveys to estimate abundance and demographic rates of communities 🤩🤯 #RStats R-nimble doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1… 🗞️#219-2022

Incredible to say it, but we are discussing the consent of a new deep coal mine in the UK, despite all that has been said in recent years about the phase out coal. This is a very bad decision – supporting a technology of the past, with a very poor prospectus for new UK jobs.

Delighted to see my RSPB Science joint 1st authorship paper out with @ElwynSharps et al. We explore what scales of agri-env provision are required to enhance bird populations across individual farms & landscapes🧵1/7 Paper doi.org/10.1111/1365-2… Blog community.rspb.org.uk/ourwork/b/scie…
