The more reflective a surface, the higher… Continue reading Reflective crops contribute to climate change mitigation

To identify local environmental concerns not captured by the global boundaries, relationships between the global EAT-Lancet variables and the… Continue reading The environmental impacts from Swedish food consumption exceed the planetary boundaries for the food system
