Cassava cultivation is rapidly expanding in the southern part of Ethiopia's rift valley. It is now blended with teff to make injera.

Sustainable travel policy KU Leuven includes a carbon compensation system for necessary work-related air travel. Part of it is used to restore Ethiopia’s Afromontane forests through enrichment planting. Today we visited a well-done restoration site near Arba Minch.

Methane is methane. It’s as if these people think the atmosphere checks the origin & decides to accept it or not The power of a disinformation campaign The carbon consumed by cows is factored into the measured warming value, essentially making a 2% lower warming than fossil-CH4

Ik stel voor dat we met z'n allen lekker knus in een ivoren toren kruipen. p.s. Kleine, verwaarloosbare, totaal onbelangrijke randopmerking: aan KU Leuven waren de leerstoelen vorig jaar goed voor minder dan 1% van alle onderzoeksinkomsten. standaard.be/cnt/dmf2023092…

Field gene banks with Enset (Ensete ventricosum) landraces in the Gamo highlands in Ethiopia. The pseudostem is usually fermented to produce kocho, but can also be consumed cooked and has a chestnut-like taste. #agrobiodiversity.

Our new paper in @nature shows that protected areas work. They slow wildlife declines by as much as five times. Groups like amphibians and birds benefit most from protected areas. Stellar work with @JustiNowakowski Jessie Deichmann Luke Owen Frishkoff Link to paper: rdcu.be/dnaFG

Longevity hotspots seem to be due to pension fraud and lacking birth certificates rather than diets. economist.com/graphic-detail…

I would love everyone in environmental movements to read this essay. It’s a painful, difficult but really important subject. By avoiding it we give a clear run to those whose proposals would lead, literally, to the deaths of billions. Please RT. Thank you. monbiot.com/2023/10/04/the…

Do not use AI detectors. They generate false positives and ruin the reputations of students randomly (but hurt non-native speakers more). If you have them in your school turn them off.

Quite the statement in this article: "In my view, African countries where the Green Revolution has not made inroads should consider themselves lucky." Many across Africa are facing: Low crop yields, labor productivity, farmer incomes & high malnutrition. theconversation.com/the-green-revo…

And before formulating strong opinions about the green revolution, it is perhaps useful to know that cows do not produce nutrients at all. They rob them elsewhere.
