A two-part infographic showing relationships between five nexus elements: biodiversity, water, food, health, and climate. Part A shows projected future impacts across six different nexus archetypes, ranging from "Nature-oriented nexus" to "Nature overexploitation." Impacts are indicated using blue upward arrows (positive), red downward arrows (negative), and wavy lines (variable). Part B displays six network diagrams showing interactions among the nexus elements. Each diagram represents a different archetype, using circles with icons for each element. Arrows between elements show relationships: Blue arrows indicate positive influences Red arrows indicate negative influences Different arrow thicknesses show magnitude (high, moderate, low) The diagrams progressively show how relationships between elements change from balanced and positive interactions in the "Nature-oriented nexus" to predominantly negative interactions in the "Nature overexploitation" scenario. The visualization demonstrates how different management approaches affect the relationships between environmental, health, and climate factors.

🔍#Biodiversity. Water. Food. Health. #ClimateChange. All of them interact and intersect but how?

Check this new graphic from the @ipbes.net #Nexus Assessment and explore the interactions among the nexus elements.

Yes, super useful! I am looking at coherence of UK agriculture and trade policies with healthy diets, and the associated land use and biodiversity impacts

I've put together a starter pack of PhD students working in sustainable food systems, food justice, and environmental sciences, for anyone that would like to connect with fellow PhD students.

Let me know if you would like to be added!

Hi Kim, I have just added you! I've actually read a few of your papers on sustainability of diets/dietary guidelines for my work, looking forward to seeing more!

Sounds super interesting, best of luck with it! I've added you to the list!

Looking for PhD students working on the political ecology of the sea. Let's exchange the experience.

Quote, white text on teal background: “[Chasing dinner money debt] is now a task which the office doesn't have to do. [And] it's totally removed the stigmatisation and those awkward conversations from that cohort of struggling parents.” - Teacher

Our evaluation of London’s universal primary free school meals policy found it provided a welcome reset on dinner money payments for families.

🧽Govt should act to wipe out dinner money debt – alongside an expansion of FSM to prevent debt building again. Read more: urbanhealth.org.uk/insights/rep...

Hi everyone! I'm a food policy PhD student, focusing on coherence between agriculture policy and healthy diets, and the potential land and biodiversity impacts of moving towards healthier diets 🌱

Hi Jack, would it be possible to be added to the list? I'm working on policy coherence between healthy diets and agriculture policy in the UK!

The Food Ethics Council are currently developing their latest UK Food Issues Census and they want your perspective on the questions you would like included in the survey! Today is the last day to add your input here -

a chart showing the disparities

"we found that climate researchers reported engaging in considerably more advocacy and activism on climate change and, to a lesser extent, high-impact lifestyle changes than non-climate researchers"

www.nature.com/articles/s44...

UK’s unhealthy food habits cost £268bn a year, report finds Exclusive: Food, Farming and Countryside Commission added up cost to NHS and economy of diet-linked disease

Before the porridge moralists jump in, pls note, that the report found poorer households would have to *double* their food spend to be able to eat a healthy diet.

Poverty sickens society. Raise benefits & minimum wage, for cost effective benefits to society.

Best of luck! I'm getting my head around modelling at the moment too, but for land use and biodiversity!

Congratulations 👏 Climateflation sounds like an interesting project!

Hi there! I'm a PhD student in sustainable food systems with a background in nutrition. My work focuses on coherence between agriculture policy and nutrition in the UK, and the potential biodiversity impacts of better integration.
