What do isotopes and trace elements got to do with accessing export markets in beef? How can forensic science verify where that steak you buy at a restaurant or supermarket in NY, London or Sydney comes from? Curious? Come join us!

Last article of the Just Food research project is finally out. Together with Irina Velicu , Stefania Barca, Andreea Ogrezeanu, Irina Castro,Lucia Fernandes, Anastacia Osprea , Rita Calvário and Hestia-Ioana Delibas, the Just Food proposed an analysis of the alternative food movements (AFMs) from a social dimension, questioning how do AFMs contribute to the 'just sustainability' of food. https://lnkd.in/dUgbYEF7

We are calling for Latin American projects in the food arena to nominate for the world's biggest environmental award! The Curt Bergfors Food Planet Prize awards $2 million to a single winning project that significantly reduces the environmental impact of the way we eat. We were established in Sweden on August 30, 2019, in acknowledgment of the perils that our current food systems pose to the health of people and the planet and with the conviction that the ways we produce, distribute, and consume food must be radically and urgently reformed if future generations — and the planet itself — are to survive and thrive. Our vision is a well-nourished world population on a thriving planet. Immediate action is required.  Unlike most other awards, we focus on future impact rather than past success. The prize can be awarded to individuals or organizations in both commercial and non-commercial settings. You can nominate your own initiative or someone else's. Right now we are looking for more groundbreaking Latin American projects! Nominations are always welcome, but as our selection process takes just over a year, to stand a chance of winning in 2025, submit your nominations before May 10, 2024. Nominating a project takes just three minutes but could change the world! Nominate an initiative by link - https://lnkd.in/dD6Wu4qZ

Celebrating #BCorp at Domaine Bousquet! 🌎 🍷 March is here and so is B Corp Month! But what exactly is B Corp Certification, and what does it look like at Domaine Bousquet? 🌎 What is B Corp? Domaine Bousquet joined the B Corp community in 2022, along with 5,000 other companies committed to making a positive impact on people, communities, and the planet. B Corp is more than a certification, it's a dedication to a more inclusive and sustainable global economy. 🔄 360-degree sustainability: our commitment to working sustainably goes beyond the vineyards. We undergo a rigorous online impact assessment, measuring our social and environmental performance against strict B Corp standards. This assessment is not a one-off task; it's an ongoing quest for improvement. This month, we'll be sharing insights into our journey as a B Corp, including our sustainability initiatives and our plans for future growth. We're proud to be part of a global community that believes in perpetual progress and positive impact! #DomaineBousquet #RegenerativeOrganic

I am thrilled to share that our review paper entitled "Carbon Dots-Nanosensors: Advancement in Food Traceability for a Sustainable Environmental Development" has been published in the Elsevier Journal Food Control with an impact factor of 5.6. This review delves into the cutting-edge use of carbon dots-nanosensors in enhancing food traceability, crucial for sustainable environmental development. It's a significant milestone in our research journey, contributing to sustainable environmental development. https://lnkd.in/gd8jxt-G

A must for those working in the technical science of food..

To meet our Europe Net Zero 2040 goal, we need to ⬇ reduce the environmental impact of our beverage packaging. Well-designed Deposit Return Schemes (DRS) are key to ♻ collect our cans and bottles. DRS helps to establish closed loops for beverage packaging and advance a circular economy. Take Malta: only 1 year after the 2022 launch of DRS, BCRS Malta has collected over 204 million beverage containers, achieving a collection rate of 79%. European countries with long-established DRS (such as the Nordics) usually report collection rates 📈 up to 95%. That’s why we are working with industry partners 🤝 in UNESDA - Soft Drinks Europe and other stakeholders to advance the introduction of DRS across Europe. This month the Romanian DRS scheme will go live, early next year Hungary and Ireland will be added to the list, bringing the total in the EU to 16 and more to follow . Enabling policy frameworks help to accelerate the introduction of DRS and as a result reduce climate impacts and contribute to a #WorldWithoutWaste.    As they will adopt shortly their position on the #PPWR, we therefore call on Environment Ministers to maintain the obligation to set up DRS in each Member State and to only provide exemptions based on a 90% collection rate.   #CircularEconomy #DRS #CocaColaEurope

I am thrilled to announce our new paper is out! The study "Sipping a Sustainable Life: Exploring Drivers and Barriers in Consumer Attitudes Toward Non or Low Alcoholic Spirits", authored by Alba Ramírez, Belén Derqui, and Marcos Polo, has been published in the prestigious US journal Appetite (JCR Q1 - IF 5,4). We invite you to read it by clicking on this link (free access until May 12): https://lnkd.in/dphiBjsJ Sipping a sustainable life: Exploring drivers and barriers in consumer attitudes toward non or low alcoholic spirits - ScienceDirect The study analyzes how trends toward healthier lifestyles are reshaping beverage choices in Spain, a country where alcohol consumption is deeply embedded in social culture. The study explores how the burgeoning non- or low-alcoholic spirits market is adapting to the increasing demand for healthier and more sustainable alternatives, particularly aligning with new consumption trends like the "tardeo" (afternoon gatherings), which has surged in Spain since the onset of COVID-19.
