Congratulations to Dr @marcelapcosta on passing her viva yesterday! Super interesting research on consequential life cycle analysis of legumes - should you swap meatballs for peaballs? Read her research to find out! bangor.ac.uk/natural-science…

Fantastic pre-viva talk by newly minted Dr @marcelapcosta, explaining with great clarity the enormous complexity of doing consequential LCA comparing legumes to meat and dairy. Also nice to be back to hybrid pre-viva talks with a real life audience! @COESEpostgrads

Llongyfarchiadau mawr iawn / Big congrats to @marcelapcosta on passing her PhD viva today. A great project @BangorSNS on the environmental impacts of integrating legumes into European food systems. Another one of our PhD students doing fascinating and important work!
The conversation highlighted our last paper about legumes...😋

I am glad to work with the amazing Sophie Saget!
Check this research:
-Pea protein balls score lower environmental burden and have higher nutrition than meatballs
-Replacing 5% of beef consumed in Germany with pea protein balls could save 8Mt CO2e annually.
@TrueLegumes
❓👩🏻🌾🥩Did you ever wonder if substituting beef with pea protein reduces the environmental footprint and improves the nutrition of your meatballs? Check out the answer in our new paper! Congrats Sophie Saget! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Thanks to everyone who has retweeted and liked this, it has been my most successful post for a while. Would be great to see more of this type of integrated approach to productive forestry and farming in the UK. xitter.cf/andyheald/status/99774…
#agroforestry research from Brazil - “it is possible to increase production to meet the growing food global demand without the need of expanding the agricultural frontier, preserving the remaining forestland.” sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
