The game Who got the power is designed around the intervention of the following 5 main identified actors involved in the case of land use change in the Amazon region of Brazil: the Brazilian farmer, the Brazilian government, the rainforest, the beef export lobby and the international environmental policies. Developed to be used as a discussion tool based on the new scenarios of land use change, the game aims to highlight and present new pathways depending on the collective decisions and actions of the different influences the actors have during the game session on the common resources consisting of the rainforest, agricultural land and livelihood. The concept of the game focuses on the setting of medium-sized family farms engaged in agricultural production, including soy and livestock, in the vicinity of the Amazon rainforest. The main challenge for the players in the game is to figure out the impact of their decisions on the alteration of land use. As power relations are firstly randomly attributed and later redistributed throughout the game when certain thresholds are breached, depending on the resources, the actors will encounter different scenarios based on their influence in the decision making. Read Image Books Planetary Eating: The Hidden Links between Your Plate and Our Cosmic Neighborhood This book claims to help eaters navigate wide-ranging, confusing and contradictory advice over healthy and sustainable diets. It claims to minimize misuse of goodwill by providing scientifically untrained readers with the tools to make the best choices for themselves and the planet. Read Image Reports Farmer-led Research on Europe’s Full Productivity This study by the European Alliance for Regenerative Agriculture says European Farmers can produce significantly more food for less in a transition to regenerative agriculture. It benchmarks 78 regenerative farms in 14 countries, and claims to be the largest regenerative agriculture study. Read Image Reports Where does plant-based meat fit in the ultra-processed foods conversation? This report by the Good Food Institute, an alternative protein advocacy organisation, claims to be a practical and evidence-based resource for healthcare professionals, policymakers, researchers, NGOs, and patient organisations to unpack the evidence on how plant-based meat fits in the ultra-processed food debate. Read Image Reports Meat Facts This briefing by the Food Foundation aims to support food system stakeholders in how to map out and implement pathways to reduce meat consumption, in light of government and private sector inaction. Read Image Journal articles A natural gene on-off system confers heat tolerance for grain quality and yield in rice Researchers identified a gene strain in rice that can maintain grain quality and yield in high temperatures, potentially a crucial development for producers in regions where climate change is causing extreme heat. Read Image Journal articles Market pathways to food systems transformation toward healthy and equitable diets through convergent innovation This study examines how market dynamics affect the production and consumption of healthy and equitable diets in North America. It argues that isolated social or commercial interventions are ineffective to achieve equitable access to nutritious foods. Read Image Journal articles Publicly tasting cultivated meat and socially constructing perceived value politics and identity This study identifies consumer barriers to cultivated meat in public tasting. It showed the importance of aligning cultivated meat with ethical priorities while meeting sensory and transparency expectations to build consumer trust. Read Image Journal articles Conventional and organic farms with more intensive management have lower soil functionality This study shows that in organic and conventional arable fields, the health of soils increases with lower intensity of management; less-frequent tillage and increased cover cropping, claiming that organic farming did not outperform conventional farming. The authors argue that the paradigm of sustainable intensification should be replaced by “productive deintensification.” Read VIEW MORE
