I am glad to work with the amazing Sophie Saget! Check this research: -Pea protein balls score lower environmental burden and have higher nutrition than meatballs -Replacing 5% of beef consumed in Germany with pea protein balls could save 8Mt CO2e annually. TRUE Project

Congratulations to Dr Marcela Porto Costa on passing her viva yesterday! Super interesting research on consequential life cycle analysis of legumes - should you swap meatballs for peaballs? Read her research to find out! bangor.ac.uk/natural-scienc…

Fantastic pre-viva talk by newly minted Dr Marcela Porto Costa, explaining with great clarity the enormous complexity of doing consequential LCA comparing legumes to meat and dairy. Also nice to be back to hybrid pre-viva talks with a real life audience! CoSE Postgrads at Bangor University

Thanks to everyone who has retweeted and liked this, it has been my most successful post for a while. Would be great to see more of this type of integrated approach to productive forestry and farming in the UK. x.com/andyheald/stat…
