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
19 Sep 2023
At opening of #ilsgranada2023 #ILS4 @Balint_ESSRG discusses the βlegume paradoxβ in #EuropeanUnion β despite benefits, why are legumes not grown or consumed more widely?

π± π± π± 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/

Why do nearly 50% of our calories come from the same three crops: wheat, rice, & maize?
What role can underutilised crops (UCs) play in making agri-food value chains more sustainable?
Orsolya LazΓ‘nyi and colleagues from @eu_radiant tell us more.

Can we let ourselves interpret our practices - critically and collectively, in a participatory way? Our senior researcher, GyΓΆrgy Pataki talked about the @coevolvers Living Lab Methodology, a novel way to reflect on practice-based learning.

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.

π 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.

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: weβre 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
