Hi everyone, I am a postdoctoral #scientist working on the water consumption of global #agrifood systems. Let's connect 🙋‍♂️

In my PhD, I used a global gridded crop model to simulate the #waterfootprint of 175 crops in 1990-2019. The resulting open-access papers are provided below:

My first real experience writing an opinion piece and it went really well! I was asked to talk about the recent #NatureFood paper on global crop #WaterFootprint and put it into a broader context 🤓

A new era of global crop water footprint estimates - Nature Food
Agriculture accounts for the largest proportion of green and blue water consumption. Increasing availability of datasets and models for assessing global crop water footprints can pave the way towards more sustainable allocation of limited green and blue water resources worldwide.

My highlight of #EGU25: exchanging a few words about USA politics with @davidho.bsky.social in the hallway 😅

Our session on Modelling Agricultural Systems under Global Change at #EGU25 was a great success 🌽🌍🖥

45 international researchers presented their work on crop modelling, water management, CO2 sequestration, diets, policy analysis, etc.

Thank you all and see you next year!

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

My 2 cents: Hunger persists because we allow injustice to endure. If we are serious about ending it, we need bold political action, not just scientific breakthroughs.

Only political will can end world hunger: Food isn’t scarce, but many people can’t access it theconversation.com/only-politic...

Massive political efforts are needed to tackle the root causes of hunger – conflict, poverty, inequality. Technology alone is not sufficient.

Good reason to organise one 🍷
The word 'symposium' comes from a Greek term for a drinking party, should you be looking for a truthful excuse to knock off early.

Every year, the World Economic Forum at Davos reports on the consensus of risks facing the world.

In the short-term, it's DISINFORMATION.

Long-term, it's CLIMATE CHANGE.

And, guess what, they're linked!
