🌱 Understanding how forests support people’s diets is crucial for #foodsecurity & #nutrition policies. This #InternationalDayOfForests read about ERC-funded research on wild forest foods & the food security dilemma. Find out more 👉 bit.ly/3lv9QKm #SDGs

We show that dietary diversity scores of women who consumed wild foods were 13% higher in June and 9% higher in July - in comparison to those not consuming wild foods. The paper was led by Z Cheek along with others @Bowydb @njlambrecht nature.com/articles/s4301…

Excited to work with Emilie Vansant on a ‘Forest and Trees Toolkit’ that can be used by extension workers and NGOs in Malawi to make more targeted tree planting programs that also optimize people’s nutrition. Thanks to European Research Council (ERC) for the support.

Vi kan lave mad til 10 millarder mennesker og samtidig fjerne mere CO2, end der bliver udledt, konkluderer blandt andre Laura Vang Rasmussen i nyt studie. Om beregningerne kan omsættes til virkelighed er dog tvivlsomt, påpeger NIels Halberg bit.ly/3LcLjHg #dkgreen #dkklima #dkvid

Here's a link to our recent paper #PLOSClimate: Model-based scenarios for achieving net negative emissions in the food system. Big potential for ag tech and management, even bigger delta to getting there. Massive science and R&D needed! dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

We show that forest regrowth has led to better dietary quality in Nigeria. Great collaboration with Terry Sunderland @Bowydb @Matthew_Fagan J Rhemtulla & C Hall. Funded by European Research Council (ERC) & DK Frie Forsk.fond nature.com/articles/s4426…

”Drop industri-landbrug”: Kæmpestudie slår fast at mennesker og miljø har bedst af varieret landbrug, men bundlinjen trives også - med Laura Vang Rasmussen #dkpol 👉 via.ritzau.dk/pressemeddelel…

Using data from 2,655 farms across 11 countries, we show that agricultural diversification benefits both the environment and people. This was a massive team effort. Thanks to I Grass Claire Kremen Olivia Smith @ZiaMehrabi and many others. European Research Council (ERC) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Researchers in Science show that agricultural diversification strategies, particularly those focused on livestock diversification and soil conservation, led to positive social and environmental outcomes. Learn more: scim.ag/6vM

In this new paper led by Emilie Vansant with @Bowydb, @madasascientist, F Reiner, C Hall, and J Kamoto, we show the positive effect of tree cover on people's micronutrient adequacy in Malawi, explained by people sourcing food from on-farm trees. nature.com/articles/s4301…
