Sustainable diets require producing more vegetable oil, putting forests at risk.
Palm oil is controversial but replacing it with other oils isn’t simple. A key strategy? Deforestation-free supply chains for all oils.

Up to 35% of rainfed croplands could sustain their yields while generating solar power, showing that agrivoltaics could offer a sustainable solution to land-use conflicts.

🌱☀️ Can solar power and food production coexist on the same land? Our new study in @EarthsFutureEiC finds that 13%–16% of existing solar farms are located on former farmland, highlighting the competition for land between food and energy production.

#AGU is the world’s largest Earth and space science association, which every year honors members who have made exceptional contributions. Only 1 member out of 1000 are selected al Fellows! We are very, very happy and proud! Congratulations!
Our scientific coordinator prof. Maria Cristina Rulli, has been elected a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, in recognition to “her ground-breaking contributions to the understanding of sustainable water and land use in the global food-energy system” 🎉
We’re always happy to see these guys in action, and kudos to the Italian Hydrological Society for concretely fostering independent collaborations among young researchers on problems that matter
🌿 Exciting times at the Giornate dell’Idrologia 2024! Marco Lompi & Nikolas Galli present the results of the FLORAES (FLOod regulating AgroEcosystem Service) project. The work is financed by Premio Florisa Melone, an award of the Italian #Hydrological Society
It’s been a fabulous week at #EGU24, with @nikolasgalli presenting on flood regulation of agriculture, Xinxueqi Han on Nexus competition, and all the new science, new people and old friends we had the opportunity to meet!
“The definition itself of water security entails aspects related to human livelihoods and well-being, socio-economic development as well as environmental resilience, and, ultimately, peace.”

World Water Day is an annual reminder focusing on the importance of freshwater.
With this year's motto "Leveraging Water for Peace" we wish to focus on the fundamental role of water as a common good. However, we are aware that, without justice, peace is just a desirable horizon.
The second lecture of the #Water Security & Justice #webinar series is underway!
Join us for Dr. @nikolasgalli's "Water security perspectives to unveil water conflict complexities" lecture.
