Pictogram showing a cow and a horse on a balance scale tilted toward the horse, illustrating horsemeat’s advantages. Around the scale are key facts comparing cattle and horse: greenhouse gas emissions, land and water use, and nutrient content.
Beef: time to stop horsing around… or time to start? 🐎
Horsemeat could be a more sustainable and nutritious alternative to beef and other red meats. Lower emissions, less land & water use, and nutrient-rich.

The results highlight growing pressure on scarce water resources and clear limits to adaptation without rapid emissions reductions. See the study in action with this Storymap: arcg.is/1DuW1u1

Climate change is increasing agricultural water demand across Central Asia. Rising temperatures and higher evapotranspiration are the main drivers, outweighing the effects of changes in cropping practices. 🌾💧

A new study maps global “human–nature archetypes,” helping guide biodiversity, land-use, and food policies worldwide. Daniel Müller (@danielmu11er.bsky.social) from our working group contributed to this work.

Just published 🌱:
We dug into 16 million+ field records across Central Europe to find out what drives farmers’ crop rotation choices.
Turns out past cropping, agronomic advice, and legume prices matter a lot and legumes are likely to play a much bigger role in the future👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ag...
