🆕 New data on the environmental impacts of food.

For a long time we've had environmental footprints of food commodities on @OurWorldInData: beef, wheat, rice, etc.

I've added lots of new data on specific food products: bread, burgers, pasta, etc.

I am thrilled to see my first dissertation chapter published as part of this excellent special issue. We look at the organic community's effort to integrate the principle of fairness, and how their efforts align with demands for #MigrantJustice

Good and #DecentWork work must be at the heart of any sustainable food future.

This vision for #GoodFoodWork emerged from our international forum in May 2021, where ~40 scholar-activists coalesced around a principled vision and actions to advance it.
