Fyi some tasty links harvested from our “food” blog category. # Food’s environmental impacts are created by millions of diverse producers. To identify solutions that are effective under this heterogeneity, we consolidated data covering five environmental indicators; 38,700 farms; and 1600 processors, packaging types, and retailers. Impact can vary 50-fold among producers of the […]

VUCA food
Did you know 20 June was world refugee day? Major factors leading to refugee migrations are war, economic & climate conflict, government persecution or there being a significant risk of these. Topical, yes! But we have an even bigger problem: fast rising utilities&food prices at home, abroad and planet-wide. End 02/22, authors Lukas Kornher und […]

Firstly, Happy Easter season to you! In a rare conjunction, three major holidays of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are occurring at the same time this year.

As I still […]
Agile curves
Summer’s here, yaay! Possibly less “yaay!” if you’re worried about it being bikini/speedo time again… Putting it rather plastically: so above so below😱; so within so without😕; so mind so matter😵; &c. What we put in we get out… But look on the bright side: in spirit terms we are one&all perfectly formed and one&all made in […]

How’s this for coincidence, in light of the previous posts on glocal interrelationships, PETs carbon offset strategy for emitters here in Scotland: an article came out mid July about more needed farming support for India, via among other things more, clean & cheaper energy. This is one of PETs 4 non-UK offset projects! The meaningful reform […]
